Mentions of rape and abuse. And a lot of foul language. This is a rant post.

‎It still baffles me that there are people out there who still don't think Rei got raped by Endeavor. I saw a short about it and read the comments.

‎It's implied heavily that Shoto was a child of rape. It was even said by Shoto that Rei was married to Endeavor solely for making children and Toya said Rei was forced to have kids. You can argue this is to villainize Endeavor, but do y'all really think he was waiting for Rei to ask for babies?? I don't think so. Shit probably tells her and she had no choice but to go along with it. It's disgusting that people deny this happened.

‎‎Endeavor was a decent person to Rei... If we don't include the fact that he bought her. That in itself shows that this piece of shit only saw her as property. Only being decent because it's something that belongs to him. A fucking property.

‎I read arguments that Rei agreed to the marriage and she knew what she was getting into. It doesn't matter if Rei could deny the marriage. If she did, she'd end up alone. Rei isn't a strong person physically and Endeavor sure isn't gonna take her. Her family would either force her or abandon her. They were selling her off for the money and reputation. ‎‎How do people not understand that??

‎‎And knew what she was getting into??‎Surrogate mothers are aware they're gonna carry a child but aren't expecting abuse or a harmful way of making her pregnant. Not the best comparison though.

‎‎Thinking in Rei's position, she probably expected she'd just be treated as a stranger in that home, raising their children and Endeavor wouldn't do anything against her. But she was abused. You would not want the person abusing you to touch you. You do not want to be touched by the person that is incredibly angry.

‎‎And no outward denial isn't a fucking yes. She's tired. She just carried 3 babies that didn't have much or a year difference. She's taking care of them, dealing with all three of them alone. She's fucking tired. Babies are not easy to carry. Understand that! Only yes means yes. ‎Forced ones or ones out of fear are not yesses!

‎‎It's rape. It's fuckin rape.

‎‎It's so frustrating. Someone even had the audacity to say it was because of Endaavor's declining mental health with what happened with Toya. Your mental condition and health are not a fucking excuse to hurt someone!

‎‎Acknowledge it's rape, not because she didn't say no, but because she didn't want to anymore!

[thr0wnawayy]

You'd think after all this time that I'd eventually grow numb to such an attitude/outlook. But no, just when I think I'm out something somewhere pulls me back in.

If I have to see one more person online gushing over Hawks or mindlessly rushes the anime epilog, I might genuinely spontaneously combust.

As for the Rei point, all I can add & link is this: https://www.tumblr.com/thr0wnawayy/802609999259041792/where-does-rei-todoroki-age-stated-in-your?source=share

[all-encompassing-hero]

It's still insane to me that there was an anti-heteromorph KKK group running around killing mutant types, and the only people who actually did anything about it were the League of Villians. At no point in the story do we ever hear about a single Pro-Hero, even a heteromorph one, talk about the CRC and the danger they pose. Not even a passing acknowledgment of the League killing them. The League is directly responsible for taking out an in-universe supremacy group, and no one takes even a single second to go "huh, maybe they're not completely irredeemable monsters."

[thr0wnawayy]

Worst part is it's likely they're still running rampant outside cities. It's stated there are numerous splinter factions with their own takes on Anti-Heteromph ideology (likely what constitutes as "too far")

Recall that Shoji's village wasn't CRC aligned & still mutilated him for saving a girl from drowning.

Also note that heroes neglect anything outside major cities due to a lack of posterity & opportunities to look good infront of the camera.

(So this is a fucking lie)

[soggydotcat]

I just. Really don't think I can be truly objective about Endeavor at any point because the narrative favoritism and the way the series generally ends up warping around him like a fucking black hole is so fucking blatant and is the reason Dabi got derailed so hard into being Satan incarnate because heaven forbid people end up feeling at least a little sympathy for the severe fucking abuse victim in this situation. He's turned into this dehumanized prop that ends up meeting one of the most brutal fates I have ever seen a character meet after a life of misery because heaven forbid he given even a moment of gentleness and mercy in this hellhole, everything he could have been turned into a suffering martyr for his fucking pig of a father's edification.

The relationship that SHOULD have been the emotional throughline to the Todoroki storyline gets one fucking line to speak to each other now that everything's so utterly over and it's still the thing people bring up the most about The Tube Scene, not Enji fucking Todoroki's endless self-pitying word vomit we're supposed to be eating up with a spoon.

[thr0wnawayy]

I've said this before but I can never understand why Rei wasn't the parent to redeem.

I mean, all the setup was & still is there.

Rei commits an act (albiet under psychosis) that has severe ripples and repercussions, however the knowledge of how exactly it went down is obscured (both by Rei's self-hatred & Shoto's plethora of issues surrounding the event).

Her absence due to Enji institutionalizing her to keep her quiet directly results in Touya going completely off the rails without the one person who had something of a understanding with him*. Touya dies and she supposedly is never told about it by anyone (I've read somewhere that Fuyumi lies that Touya is "away", no idea on the legitimacy of it, wouldn't suprise me though)

* (hence why Touya knowing Rei was sold hurts him so deeply, he couldn't stand that someone he looked up to was in the same cycle he was in)

Every member of her family has a connection to her & parallels her in some way both visually and aspect-wise. (Compared to Enji, who has little in common beyond superficial things).

Her motivation is 100x more compelling. She wants to save Dabi because out of everyone, they were the first to be born in Hell (Enji's Charnel House) & for a time, the only real friendship in that environment. She understands there is no undoing what is done & that the only path forward is true accountability even if it means the Todoroki name must burn.

Even before that, it seemed the direction Shoto's arc was going in was to truly confront what happend in that house. And that would involve Shoto having to realize he doesn't know everything.

He'd have to learn that Rei was only a year older than him when she was sold off. He'd have to grapples with the fact that Rei never got to grow up and was (and still is to an extent) a child raising children.

More a sister than mother (which would explain Shoto's memories of Rei. She always has something odd when I review those clips), perhaps even in a somewhat literal sense in that Rei mentally/subconsciously views them as Siblings rather than her children (thus allowing Rei to focus their existances, without the rapes that created them always underlying things. They are of her, not from her).

I honestly think way too much about how MHA was already dead by Season 3. It's honestly incredible to look back and realize Hori had 0 fucking clue what he was doing ir what he wanted to do.

[lacunammmm]

That brings up an additonal stupid pet peeve of mine actually: The series' tech level. Cool shiny gadgets are abundant, freely available and can do literally fucking anything if its to help a Pro Hero but anyone else who's lives may be improved or social issues that may be addressed can go piss up a rope I guess. We're straight up supposed to be horrified at the thought of civilians enjoying the same benefits of technology that heroes do, even. (Also, my butt's still really hurt about this so I'm gonna say it: Unless you're Dabi, in which the bizarrely specific medical device exists but it's to Literally Just Torture You)

It was fine. Emphasis on was. They had some future tech up front. Giant robots, sentient AI, holograms.

Things like Muscular's prosthetic eye, which apparently you can just plug and play with those. It painted a picture of a world that is massively ahead of ours in some areas while functionally looking like a world in the early 2000s. But then we get the mech suit. That terrible, terrible mech suit that absolutely destroys the power scaling and retroactively makes Momo one of the theoretically most broken people in the setting. If there's a limit to the power of tech, then someone who makes tech is limited by the strength of their tech. But the limits they placed on Iron Might, that the development of his gear took a long time and he used up all of his wealth for it...do not apply to Momo. Momo could whip one of these up in a month if she wanted to, with the schematics. Even less time once she gets the hang of it. I'm likely high balling her production times: Momo could do it faster. She could fill them with UA's sentient AI and have a fleet of Ironmen. The final war arc could have effortlessly been won if All Might had said anything to Momo because she'd have manufactured several of these suits. More, if they had Monoma copy her quirk and produce some components too.

As far as civilians go, the story doesn't care about them. They're just here because this is a policeman show and you need people to save on that. Heroes get cutting-edge support gear, instant-limb prosthetics (Mirko), and city-leveling mechs (Iron Might).

Civilians get... nothing. The staggering medical tech that can graft a functional eye into a villain's socket is nowhere seen aiding the quirk-disabled, the chronically ill, or victims of villain attacks. The narrative is utterly disinterested in this, because civilians are set dressing, not citizens with rights to improvement.

The story certainly won't express any concern for their disabilities or issues. Any concerns that do exist are just the villains like the MLA wanting to enact their agenda by loosening who gets support gear. If you aren't a hero in this world, you don't matter.

In a super-policeman story, technology has only two valid uses:

Enhancing the force's effectiveness (hero support gear).

Controlling the populace (Tartarus, Dabi's prison tube, surveillance). The idea of technology as a tool for liberation, equality, or social uplift is alien to this framework. It would destabilize the hierarchy. Why would you give civilians tech that makes them less dependent on heroes? That would undermine the very reason the hero system exists.

[thr0wnawayy]

"Momo could whip one of these up in a month if she wanted to, with the schematics. Even less time once she gets the hang of it. I'm likely high balling her production times: Momo could do it faster.She could fill them with UA's sentient AI and have a fleet of Ironmen. "

I jest but wasn't there a movie showing why this was a bad idea. The heroes couldn't even handle the PLF at their weakest with multiple narrative buffs. Something like Ultron, Skynet or worse LIV would mow them down within, eh, I'd give it a solid 4 days to 12 hours depending on if they were playing nice or playing to win it.

[suchusoid]

I know that you're pretty anti endeavor, but I saw some people on Tiktok saying that MIRKO of all people deserved to be #1 pro over him. Hell vs Super Hell type stuff.

Would you rather your #1 hero be a great hero (great at being a pro hero, not really like, heroic, at all) who's an abusive D-Bag or a psychotic sadistic female version of muscular who thinks murderous intent is great for heroes?

This also applies to people who say Bakugo should be #1 over Mirio post time skip.

Do I have to pick? Come on starlight you're killing me here.

Because honestly neither are that much better than eachother.

I'm picking none of the above in this case.

This is like choosing between being shocked by jumper cables, or fed to hungry crocodiles.

[thr0wnawayy]

Police brutality & Celebrity Death Cults or Domestic Terrorism & Teen Sex Trafficking?

Yeah, now about neither.

You know how they say every time you wake up, it's a new you?

Well I'm really understanding why I was moving how I was 1-2 years ago. There really is no saving the system.

[soggydotcat]

People don't give Endeavor enough shit for straight up saying "I thought that if I saved you you'd start being nicer to me :(" to Natsuo. I seriously had to just sit there for a minute processing because I could seriously not believe they had him just straight up fucking say that.

That's kinda the gist of what makes the redemption arc borderline insufferable: Being a guilt trippy manipulative weirdo isn't actually much better than being a thin skinned shouty rage monster, it just makes the man even more Alarming with how truly diverse the forms of shittiness he's capable of are.

[suchusoid]

Shit, I totally forgot about that!

Looks we can add manipulation to his rap sheet,

Alongside the human trafficking, eugenics, domestic abuse, neglect, obstruction of justice, property damage, attempted murder, reckless endagerment, marital rape, etc.

It's almost comical how many terrible things this monster has done. And even his supposed "atonement arc" is him just being a sleazy guilt tripper.

[confusedgoldenflower]

And possible (probable) child marriage.

[suchusoid]

Oh right! How could I forget that?

[thr0wnawayy]

The Size difference, oh god. She should be in Highschool not this, never this. Holy fuck.

She really was just a kid, huh?

[thr0wnawayy]

Where does Rei todoroki age stated? In your reblogs you said that its not hc that she was 16 when Enji brought her. I search wiki and couldnt find it and and i knew that wiki sometimes is not truthfull, so im curious.

It's all in the math.

Rei is Canonically 41, this puts her exactly 4 years behind Enji in terms of age. Rei has 4 kids, all in the double digits and 3 being legal adults.

Dabi is 24, Fuyumi then must be 24 or 23, Natsuo is 19 and Shoto is 15.

The hitch? In order for Dabi to be 24 and Fuyumi to be 23, Rei would have been 16 when inseminated & 17 when in labour.

Natsuo would have been born when Rei was 21 and Shoto when she was 24.

Additionally, Shoto says Rei had been institutionalized for 10 years. Meaning Rei would have been just 30 when the Kettle incident occured. Meaning Shoto had to be born 5 years prior at 24.

Enji graduated UA at 18. It's said he gave up after only 2 years (pathetic) to beat All Might on his own and turned to human trafficking Quirk Eugenics. He'd have been 20. Meaning he'd have bought Rei that year and forced her pregnancy possibly on the wedding night (harrowing shit)

The 4 year age gap is consistent with other couples in MHA (Rocklock and his wife are openly stated to be 4 years apart, Mitsuki Masaru are 4 years, with Mitsuki being younger.)

This was fun to answer, I will write a post detailing further & deeper analysis of this topic, so stay tuned for that!

[9trixieturner6]

Oh dang where did they reveal the ages? I didn’t even know we knew how old endeavor was, same with him being four years older than rei. I’d never heard that before was it in the bonus stuff?

[thr0wnawayy]

Likely.

Endeavor's age is found on his character sheet. He's 45. He'd have been 21 when Touya was spawned and 20 when Rei's parents effectivly auctioned her off.

Dabi & Shoto's ages are Canon. Fuyumi and Natsuo is simple calculation, which provides the only real result.

[9trixieturner6]

Oh yeah I always forget about the character sheets. So yeah endeavors 45 Dabis 23 that means dabi was conceived when endeavor was 21 and born when he was 22. Where does the four year gap come from? Was that also from a character sheet or did I just miss it in the manga?

Yeah they’re the solid ones we got so like fuyumi is 22 then and natuso at 19-20.

[thr0wnawayy]

You likely missed it, as it's stated multiple times. You can see Mitsuki & Masaru's ages on their sheets as well.

In regards to Enji being 21. Keep in mind his birth date is August 8th. Rei is likely a November or December baby (to fit with her quirks theme. Nov 25th, for sanity preserving black humor), so Enji very likely was 20 when he arranged her purchase, having turned so months prior.

This would also explain Rei's schooling as it would be early in the year and nobody would question why the poor girl vanished (yes, Rei's parents are implied to be ex-noblity, her father seems to allude to this un the flashback + he's extremly formal despite the state of decline of Rei's house.) Or Rei was simply homeschooling to keep her isolated and not raise suspicious questions like: "Hey, didn't you guys have a teenage daughter?"

I see yout going by the starting ages, for sake of simplicity, I have been using the current ages, hence why your numbers are slightly askew.

[manicpixiesnail]

i'm sorry but idgaf

i'm an endeavor hater til the day i die

fuck his character development. why is she pushing him in the wheel chair of all people???

[doodlegirl1998]

This POS only "developed" (and I use that term loosely) when it was convenient for him to do so .

The wake up call should have been when he believed his son died from his actions or when Touya's quirk started hurting him.

Endeavour should have died. Dabi should have been able to kill him but no... Hori loves his abusive fave too much. And everyone in the Todofam especially Dabi and Rei suffer as a result.

[thr0wnawayy]

Just a quick refresher to anyone who might see this, Rei was only 16 when Enji (20 and the number 2 celebrity-cop of the nation) trafficked her. No this is not headcanon and yes, the math doesn't lie. (Rei is 41, Dabi is 24, Fuyumi is at least 23, Natsuo is 19, Shoto is 15, quirks take 4 years to manifest, you can work out the rest but nust know none of them were consensual)

Rei has spent practically her entire life (both in Doylist and Watsonian terms) as something to be used for another's benefit (be it Shoto's mommy issues or Enji's sex slave).

Dabi said this out loud and hero society still buried their heads in the sand, choosing to focus on Dabi's (magically written in) kill count of 30. Hawks and Best Jeanist (called this shit dirty laundry btw) knowingly committed an obstruction of justice by interviewing Enji (not Rei or any other victims) without a 3rd party present (a trauma councilor or detective), essentially a self investigation to cover their own asses.

Hori's either a complete imbecile or just loves commiting narrative malpractice because it gets to a point.

[suchusoid]

When the term Underground Hero was dropped in BNHA, I thought it was something to do with a sub section of Pro Heroes doing undercover work

Like Eraserhead doing work in the underworld where he shut down illegal operations like drug & human trafficking and other messed up stuff

But no

Underground Hero is just a Hero that no one knows apparently

I always thought the same thing you did. That's why I made other heroes underground heroes in my little rewrite like stendhal and rocklock.

[thr0wnawayy]

The thing is the concept of Underground Heroes (& by proxy Spotlight Heroes) is an entirely Fanon concept.

Eraserhead is the Underground Hero, it's a title like All Might the Symbol of Peace or Manual: The Normal Hero.

Hori never put that much thought into the specific intricacies of MHA's world building, it's the very reason MHA became as popular as it did: Because the Fans had to do all the work & fill in the gaps.

[herpeton-deez-nonexistant-nutz]

wait, i thought eraserhead was called the erasure hero? I could be wrong though...

also I wasn't O'clock an undergound hero?

Either way, your right. It's crazy just how little thought hori put into his worldbuilding.

Edit: it's me, @suchusoid. I just reblogged to my rp blog by mistake. I hate when that happens.

[thr0wnawayy]

To my knowledge, it came from a wonky translation. I've seen both used during his introduction (exposition) at the Quirk Apprehension Test.

I'm unsure about O'clock but given how little thought was put into his character, I wouldn't be surprised if some junk got recycled.

I would like to remind everybody that endeavor tried to murder a 19 year old and his unconscious friend against the orders of the police because said 19 year old was a vigilante wearing an all might hoodie.

tell me again how this guy is "good hero"?

and no, he is not "oit of character" endeavor in the main series has deheaded a nomu without even knowing it was undead, was callous and uncaring to the fact that a ua student kidnapped by dangerous terrorists, and disregarded a villain running rmpant through japan until HE was affected. Endeavor has always been a rotten hero, the only difference is that vigilantes calls it out for what it is.

[9trixieturner6]

Which villain running rampant?

[suchusoid]

Mr smiley

[9trixieturner6]

Oh yeah I never watched any of the ovas. I mainly stuck to the main show/manga same reason I never got into vigilantes.

Huh is this the only other time we have endeavor going for the kill besides afo?

[suchusoid]

He also tried to kill pop☆step when her body was being controlled by queen bee.

He tried to incinerate a suicide bomber in a police station(an act which would have set of the explosion and gotten everyone in that building, himself included, killed.)

he actually did kill the eyeless nomu.(this was before he knew what a nomu was, and just assumed it was just a heteromorph.)

He tried to kill tsubasa, the winged nomu.(again, before he even knew what a nomu was, and just assumed they were hteromorphs.)

He tried to kill the four-eyed nomu.(same as the other two nomu, he didn't know a mindless zombie)

He killed hood, the high-end nomu(who was actually sapient, and could think for himself.)

[9trixieturner6]

I was counting this and the pop step thing together since the bee bombs were the reason he was going for instant put down here.

I’m guessing that’s another thing that happens in the vigilante manga. Does the vigilante manga actually have more death than the main story or is it just “going for the kill,” but never actually killing?

Didn’t they already know the nomus weren’t people at this point, it happened right after the first usj encounter. The story treating them more like monsters or golems.

[suchusoid]

during rhe hosu incidnt, endeavor was not aware that nomus were mindless zombies.

It wasn't until around the hideout raid when he and the other pros knew what a nomu was.

[9trixieturner6]

Didn’t they already know what the nomus weren’t people, the police had already done their tests and analysis of the nomu they captured. That’s how they knew who he originally was and that he had been modified including the dna of different people. Then the hideout raid was just them finding the nomu factory they had set up because of momos tracker alongside their original plan to attack the bar and arrest them.

[suchusoid]

@thr0wnawayy explained it best, so I'll just link their post discussing this, but no, endeavor hadn't yet been informed by the police of what nomus even were.

💬 4  🔁 28  ❤️ 96 · How Corrupt Is Hero Society?. Part 2 · Nomu and Endeavor, a cause for concern To add to the today's chatter about Endeav

[thr0wnawayy]

To add to this thread, the Nomu obviously weren't in their right minds. Without the knowledge of Nomufucation, anything goes im terms of origin and motive . These individuals could have been mind controlled, forcibly transfigured or even just Heteromorphs that'd lost their minds (either due to their quirks or external [possibily societal given Hori's dog shit world building] factors].

To clarify @9trixieturner6 . Yes UA's staff & Detective Tsukauchi knew the USJ Nomu had multiple quirks and who was the body's identity. They did not: A, share this information with anyone else, B, know that more Nomu existed.

The reason the Hosu incident even escalated/happend was because Tomura unleashed the 3 Nomu on a tantrum whim. Nobody saw them coming, nor had they been informed of what happend during the USJ incident.

The events you described happend only after Stain was arrested & even then the heroes hadn't a clue of the nature of Nomu. To my knowledge, the public never truly learned that Nomu weren't human (anymore), as if my memory serves, a civilian accuses Midoriya of being a Nomu when he's dragged back to UA.

Theres something I noticed in BNHA

The married couples have a four year age difference between them. Shows the fact that quirks manifest at age four and the couples are four years apart. The wives are younger than their husbands over four years.   here a list of the married couples in BNHA Mitsuki Bakugou Age: 38 Masaru Bakugou Age: 42 Mika Jiro Age: 36 Kyotoku Jiro Age: 40 Ganma Asui Age: 44 Beru Asui Age: 40 Inko Midoriya Age: 41 Endeavor (Enji Todoroki) Age: 46 the Todoroki family follows this trend each sibling are four years apart 
the family Toya Todoroki Age: ? Fuyumi Todoroki Age: 22 (23 currently) Natsuo Todoroki Age: 19 Shouto Todoroki Age: 15 Endeavor’s age hints at the time his children were conceived Endeavor’s Age is when his children was conceived Endeavor with Shouto. Shouto Age: 15 Endeavor Age: 31 Endeavor with Natsuo. Natsuo Age: 19 Endeavor Age: 27 Endeavor with Fuyumi. Fuyumi Age: 23 Endeavor Age: 23
 we all don’t know how old Toya Todoroki is and Rei’s age is not yet mentioned. I talked about Rei’s age in a later question with you how old she is I believe theres a reason for it what if the reason why Rei’s age is not mentioned is because her age could reveal the moment Toya was conceived? Toya age is not mentioned. Her age would reveal it reveal the moment Toya was conceived

Oh, I never noticed the 4 years gaps between husbands and wives, nice catch! I was only aware of the age difference between the Todoroki siblings, as it is pretty much implied in canon that Endeavor waited for his children’s quirks to manifest before he decided they were a failure and made another baby. I think this is also why a lot of people headcanon Dabi to be 25-ish 

Quick note: Assume that Fuyumi is still 22 as this is the most recent we’ve seen of her: 

and though her birthday is december 6, we don’t know if in canon it is december yet

Though, if what you said is true, and if we assume that the four years thing applies both to Rei and Touya… well…

Doing the quick math:

Dabi/Touya would now be 25-26 

Rei would now be 42 

and that would place Touya’s birth when Rei was… 16-17

… excuse me but…

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK 

is that even legal?

uhm, okay, no, that can’t be it. Even with Endeavor being Endeavor, it still sounds like a stretch. It’s not like the public doesn’t know that he’s married. If she was that young, I’m sure someone would’ve noticed. Unless there were fake documents and a lot of good lying involved, and I guess he could’ve gone that far to get his hands on a powerful quirk… but stuff like that  is dark as fuck and I’m not sure if it fits with bnha as a series. As I said, there’s enough trauma and so many different layers of issues in the todoroki family drama, so I don’t think it’s necessary, plot-wise, to add more to the mix. 

I’m not gonna add up to the child trafficking ring conspiracy until we have more solid bases to theorize :’D

Remember that this is all speculation based on assumptions.

The four years age gap maybe doesn’t apply to this particular married couple, or maybe Rei is the older one. Or maybe Dabi isn’t the eldest. Who fucking knows at this point… Maybe Dabi is Todoroki’s cousin or something :’D

if only you could have known how close you were OP, right on the money. Human Trafficking? Definitely, just not an entire ring.

Also for anyone who says it's not. Human Trafficking is defined by Oxford Languages as:

noun: human trafficking

the unlawful act of transporting or coercing people in order to benefit from their work or service, typically in the form of forced labor or sexual exploitation. Ex: "she is a victim of human trafficking"

seeing this and thinking about hawks continuing the cycle of abuse through the commission genuinely made my stomach drop

[suchusoid]

>is a former child soldier

>wants to "invest in people"

>runs a system that profits off of child soliders

>what did hawks mean by this?

[thr0wnawayy]

I hate that even with my hiatus on most of my creative projects related to MHA, this fucking series still finds a way to prove my predictions right without fail.

Yk, I thought real hard on what lows would the Comission go to, now that they know they can literally get away with murder. And i got some pretty terrible conclusions, you know... trying to forcibly create another Symbol or Assassin (as Hawks, no matter how good he got, was never able to reach Nagant's level of lethality or that of her predecessor O'Clock (AKA Knuckleduster))

Or allow crime rings to fester, even providing some of them with equipment or funds. Let them run loose for a while, get their names our there & only then swoop in and have whoever the poor child soldier is clear house & take the credit for stopping Snuff or Drug ring number #42.

I mean we're talking about a guy who's idea of what a family is, is so nonexistent that he uses his own neglect to tell Rei's kids "nah it's my fault my mom neglected me, lol" & to keep ties to their abuser. All while Rei herself is in the room, a woman who hasn't seen the outside since she was 26 (if we don't count the decade she was stuck as Enji's broodmare) .

Hawks has no idea how the outside world works or how people work both due to his parents & the HOSC's neglect. I hate to use the clinically outdated term "Sociopath" but that's effectively what Hawks is, he has no care for anything outside himself & his immediate bubble (which only really consists of Endeavor, or rather who he believes Endeavor is). He lacks any remorse or real empathy, he seemingly doesn't feel shame either.

Giving Hawks the position of president is like giving a Chimpanzee a stock-rifle, it's the worst decision the HPSC could have made for various reasons.

there's a really interesting (and definitely unintentional) parallel between Izuku and Touya in the way they're both willing to potentially cripple themselves using a quirk that's too powerful for their bodies due to expectations placed on them by a pro hero they admire, which leads them both to a state where their senses of self-worth are at risk of collapse if/when they're unable to meet those expectations.

Touya was young and impressionable when he was met with the expectation of being a hero strong enough to defeat All Might and the story tells us that he's incredibly aware of the fact that Enji is only having children for that purpose. as soon as Touya wasn't able to meet expectations he was cast aside, but he continued to train despite burning himself repeatedly because he was desperate for approval and love and had no sense of self-worth outside of his quirk and heroics because Enji is an emotionally neglectful parent who saw no worth in a child who couldn't reach the potential he required of them. this neglect eventually leads Touya down an increasingly (self)destructive path.

with Izuku it's a little different. he wasn't born into expectations he couldn't meet, but his sense of self-worth is still tied to heroics as a career, even before meeting All Might. at the start of the series, Izuku has known he's quirkless for roughly a decade, yet he hasn't entirely given up on his pipe dream of being a pro hero and seems to reject other career paths that would also allow him to help others. he has a low sense of self-worth (in part thanks to Bakugou's bullying), and though Izuku is a good hero in the future with a genuine want to save others it's also important to note that part of his want to be a hero is also a want to be an admirable inspiration to others the way All Might was to him. Izuku wants to be a hero because of the way it would make him feel. and then he meets All Might, who he admires (hero worships) more than anyone else in the world, and suddenly his pipe dream is a reality. Toshinori doesn't necessarily mean to bury Izuku under the weight of expectations the same was as Enji did to Touya, but those expectations exist all the same. Izuku gains a power his body isn't initially compatible with and he suffers because of it by repeatedly and traumatically breaking his own bones because All Might gave him a quirk, and with that quirk came a sense of purpose and expectations of greatness. Toshinori talks a lot about Izuku being the next symbol of peace and Izuku debuting himself to the world during the sport's festival. that's a lot of pressure to put on a child. and Izuku often has moments where he thinks he's fallen short and All Might may regret choosing him as a successor.

in both cases, a child puts himself under immense pressure and causes himself physical harm in order to meet the expectations of his hero. Touya needs to meet Enji's expectations because if he can't than why was he born and what right does he have to exist; Izuku needs to meet All Might's expectations because if he can't then All Might could change his mind and regret making Izuku his successor, and that takes away Izuku's only chance at becoming a hero.

Something I've found hilarious is the multiple unintentional connections between Shigaraki & Rei, however loose.

I mean physically there's a few things. Both have white hair and originally both had shorter hair but later grew it out (both did so unintentionally, Shigaraki's was a product of self-neglect, while Rei's seems to have been pressure to appear more wife-like for Enji)

Both have the "sharp" eyeshape (see below) & a similar sharp angles.

& both had the same eyecolor until they suffered a cataclysmic snap.

In the anime, Rei's eyes turn silver before she burns Shoto, Tenko's eyes turned Red when he awakens his quirk & kills his family, which brings me to my next point:

Both were hurt by their families & hurt their families.

Shigaraki's is pretty obvious, his father abused him while his grandparents either spouted platitudes or but the guilt onto him (I.E, you'll make me cry), his mother does similar but attempts to make weak justifications for her husband & Hanna, well Hanna was just a scared kid.

Rei was sold when she was likely a highschooler, forced into a marriage she didn't want & abandoned by her parents the moment they received the payout.

As seen in the kitchen flashback when she called her mother, who although we don't hear her, we can assume Rei's mother is doing the exact same thing Tomura's grandparents did. Just talking out her ass while Rei is in emotional distress (taking about how even her own children remind her of her abuser/rapist).

Rei by this point is at her "Decay" moment & she knows it, she's actively making an effort to remove her kids from the hell that is (& has been) driving her to destroy the immediate source of her suffering (Enji).

I honestly believe that had it been Enji who'd walked into the kitchen instead of Shoto, Rei wouldn't have stopped at just scalding him. No, that's just to blind him so she can strike properly.

Alas Shoto did walk into the kitchen & the price was Rei's psychosis temporarily getting the best of her, blindly attacking Shoto (likely believing he was Enji about to try "something" again) & immediately stopping once she hears Shoto's cries of pain. She dragged herself out of a psychotic episode to heal him after realzing her grave mistake, that's impressive honestly.

In a way, the two backstories parallel eatchother. Shigaraki's was widespread destruction morphed into hatred, while Rei's was singular act of survival & aggression that turned sour.

Both were products of their environments & abusers, neither were ever given the chance to be anything outside of their preceved roles (Villain & Broodmare) or had their stories told on their terms.

Also they both have wide-ranged emitter quirks that are primarily destructive by nature & can "decay" flesh, so that's pretty neat.
