If I had a nickel for every time a BNHA chapter outrended a current world event, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

thoughts on dabi's identity reveal

i love dabi's identity reveal, it's the most dramatic thing he could have done and i love him for that.

but

i wish it had a bigger impact. of course this is obviously bc horikoshi decided the end of the todoroki storyline needed to focus on endeavor. but let's ignore that and pretend it's just because this reveal happened in the middle of a national crisis.

so what if touya had decided to do his identity reveal on a random day?

think about it. the sun is shining, the birds are singing, everything is fine. and then, out of nowhere, every single billboard and tv channel broadcast dabi's video (same as canon, without the "hawks killed twice" thing, perhaps replaced by dabi revealing he's been in contact with hawks or something). it only takes mere minutes for everyone to be aware of what's going on, and now all eyes are on touya.

1-A is in the dorms when this happens, it feels like a repeat of the endeavor vs high end fight. shouto is a mess, no one understand what's happening, even aizawa is confused as fuck.

meanwhile, endeavor is in his agency. he's watching the whole video from his computer, completely flabbergasted. even if he wants to claim dabi is a liar doing this for attention, but he knows deep down he'd be lying to himself.

hawks is watching everything too. he feels like his entire life has been a lie. the hero who saved him for his abuser ends up being an abuser too. (can you tell i hate how hawks always remains a endeavor fanboy in canon?)

during this shit show happens, dabi wanders around, burn a ything with endeavor's face in it, and watches how civilians are reacting. he's focusing on that while deciding if he'll go to endeavor's agency right after the end of his little broadcast, or if he'll let the information sink in.

it took 24 years but he finally got what he wanted. all eyes were on him. no one would ever be able to throw him aside and ignore him. he stills wants to keep on his suicide mission - it's either him or endeavor - but at least he got to enjoy having the attention for a while.

so yeah, touya is a dramatic little shit who wanted the attention that he deserved.

[i might turn this into a fic if i ever get the time]

The entire fandom, screaming at Endeavor :

[myherobotle]

OH MY GOD SHOUTO TODOROKI RISING I CALLED IT!!!!

They look so beautiful

DID IIDA JUST DID THE MOST EMOTIONAL YEETING OF SOMEONE

No but the fact that Tsukauchi is looking scared scares me, I wonder if we’ll get more reactions?

Can’t wait for the translations to come, I can already tell I’m gonna cry from whatever Iida is saying.

Aughhhh my heart, him standing up and thinking about his mother. He looks so exhausted rebut determined, it makes my heart hurt for him

The family is reuniting!!! Is he thinking about his friends again as a mental safe space? He looks so anguished this poor kid. The Todoroki family reactions to him showing up… I wonder how they’re feeling about that.

Oh my god the contrast of baby Shouto and teenage Shouto, so fucking heartbreaking. No pupils, you know shits about to go down!!!

THE REMEDIAL KIDS!!!! I’m so happy we get to see citizen reactions, I hope that means Shouto is becoming someone who is reassuring.

:OOOO

OH MY GOD???? THEY???? HOLY SHIT??????

Oh god Toga- so I guess we’ll be seeing Toga vs Ochaco next chapter!

I wonder how she feels watching that…
