| Reading the messages in this week's episode, I might have been the only one who loved it lol. I normally hate flashbacks, but these ones were necessary to resume how Endeavour has been steadily progressing and to show how as flawed as he is, he still tries his best. Really nice to also see those little All Might scenes. The main part of the episode was the scenes at the Todoroki house, and I've been waiting to see them animated for years, so I'm really happy to see how they've prioritized them, and that they haven't been left behind. That Touya introduction !!! Links this part of the arc to the Resurgence of the Meta Liberation Army very well. Excited for next week. |

oooooo right2 thanks for the info m8, some good analysis u got there. I don't read the manga tho so i thank you for keeping the spoilers to a minimum or 0 |
|
| This episode is just a bunch of flashbacks |
| we got flashbacks in flashbacks but okay i guess. We got Natsuo and Fuyumi that was good. |
| So many flashbacks...ugh. Family drama goes on.. I so...interest........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..... |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| It's funny that they pronounce "intern" as "hintern", wich is the german word for ass. ______________ Toya = Dabi ??? 100% |
 |
In the flashback Toya has red hair: So why did he have white hair in this shot?  Is it a mistake on the studio who colored his hair wrong back in season 2?? |

Can you prove that Toya is the redhead in the first shot? That could be any random person. Natsuo and Fuyumi could've simply had friends in their past. That's not a crazy idea. |

| The number of flashbacks sadly dragged this episode down but having more Todoroki family drama was still interesting. Bakugou was surprisingly funny in this episode. I loved how he called out Midoriya for analysing dinner. |

That's not a crazy idea. and considering they hid his face, it's obvious there's something special about the red haired kid That's not definitive proof. Endeavor in this moment didn't say anything about siblings. He simply explained that Shoto can't play with THEM. There is nothing definitive that proves that everyone in that shot are family members and not either relatives or friends of either Natsuo or Fuyumi. So don't assume that this has to be Toya and that Toho Animation made a mistake with the hair color when no one in the series confirms that to be Toya Todoroki. |
KingBaller06 said: I'm guessing you're an anime only since in the anime, both dub and sub, Endeavor refered to the other kids as "they" and that's also what he said in Japanese. However, in the manga, in that panel, the term he used is written as 兄さん which mean brothers, with the pronounciation katakana above it saying "アレ" which means "they/those things". So basically, he's saying "they/those things" but meaning "your brothers". Here's the page I'm referring to:ttcchen said: the point of the first shot is endeavor telling shoto he can't go play with his siblings cause they're "failures" so there's no point putting a random kid in there rather than his actual sibling and considering they hid his face, it's obvious there's something special about the red haired kid That's not definitive proof.

If you somehow can't see the image then just google the raws for chapter 39. I believe this is enough proof to justify my assumption and solidify my statement. |

With that in mind, you couldn't definitively prove that the red head was Toya Todoroki. |

KingBaller06 said: an anime adaptation is based off the manga, which is the source material and anything in it came directly from the author himself unlike the anime which has inputs from others like producer and director and scriptwriter and etc. So your point is invalid.Nope.

| Good ol' (literal) paper-thin walls so everyone in the house can hear Deku when he talks about the family situation. And it looks like Endeavor is gonna get a chance to prove himself soon thanks to a convenient assassin in the next episode. I have to agree with everyone who's been complaining about the pacing. It's been pretty easy to watch this season at 2x speed because so much of it is just recapping stuff I already know (either via flashback or taking extra time to re-introduce side characters and/or their quirks). |
| One might say that this ep is boring, especially with how they used part of the ep to show the flashback to scenes that have been shown before previously, however it doesn't change the fact that this is a reasonable pivotal moment where we, yet again, got the chance to peek into the everyday situation in the Todoroki household and how they're slowly getting closer to uniting the once broken household once and for all. Endeavour really is a great hero, he deserves the title of the number 1 hero, though not as blazing and shining as All might, he is still leagues above any other decently powerful hero. And yet as a father, he has a long arduous path ahead of him if he ever wanted to make sure that the dreams that he's getting not only come true but also with him in the picture. A happy family. |

| It's great to see the Todoroki family getting together slowly. As for the dead sibling Toya. I thought he had red hair since Endeavour mentioned he was a fire type too. Anyways I've a theory. Hear me out so according to the Todoroki family, Toya is dead, BUT what if he isn't?? What is it's none other than Dabi from League of villains?? We have seen his strong fire type quirk. Blue flames are stronger than the regular ones. Also since he had white hair, it's probably easy to dye them. Or I'm just thinking too much lol. Anyway lets see when it'll be revealed. |

| One of the best episodes this season imo. I am starting to have a soft spot for Endivour, and for how much he is in pain for being rejected and for his past actions and failures. Plus I am glad that we finally got to see Toya's face, I have been waiting for it for so long :") |

| Honestly? I'm not a big fan of Endeavor, but this episode was handled with a surprising amount of depth. The family dynamic was realistic and I sympathize with the Todoroki siblings' feelings. They each have their own individual and unique feelings when it comes to dealing with their father and everything he did to the family. Fuyumi is wonderful and needs a bigger role, btw. Deku needed to just shut the hell up, though. There was no need for him to make a comment. He's not a part of the family and doesn't fully understand what they're going through. Classic shonen MC bullshit. |
| I already have an idea about who Toya could be but it’s to predictable I might be wrong tho |
 |
| I feel bad for Endeavor and this is probably an unpopular opinion, but Natsuo is annoying af, every time I hear him it makes me hate him even more. You never did anything to help Todoroki when he was suffering, you kept playing with your dumb ball and with your siblings while he was being "tortured" every day and now that everything is good and Endeavor is trying to be a good father, you are the one with the biggest mouth, trying to be in the center of attention by being stubborn when Todoroki somewhat forgave his father and Fuyumi trying to unite everyone again and the only thing you're basing your hatred on is the fact that you THINK Endeavor killed Toya. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |

It's Okay. Glad to see someone who appreciates this episode (it was one of my favorite one's this season). For some reason this season is getting a lot of hate even though it's one of the top 3 Imo :) |
| I am sleepy |
| This episode was so good and none of the goodness was from the action part. I'm very curious about Toya and his possible relationship with that person. |
| Todoroki family is full of problems. Respect to Fuyumi for trying her best to keep them together, as a family even though she has her own conflicting feelings for her dad.. |
| Honestly, if MHA cut out the boring halves of each season where it's just ordinary school life, I would give each season a 10. This was a fantastic episode, I love seeing Endevour's and Shoto's family try and adjust to having their dad back. |
| I am not a weeb, I simply enjoy 2D girls |
| Well we get some more input in the situation of the Todoroki family....But yeah I do agree some scenes were just repeated but it did have that emotional effect at least to me....and also we have this mysterious character Toya perhaps he was part of the Shoto Family...Anyways This was a good episode.... |
| edit: put it in a spoiler because I rambled on for way too long I don't expect anyone to read any of this, but basically, have some heart guys. Endeavor wants to right the wrongs he put on his family. Maybe you're itching for your My Villain Academia arc, but sometimes you gotta appreciate the slower, more somber moments too. |

| Nice family reunion! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Deku always has a way of saying the right things. Todoroki was affected by them, hopefully in a good way. Endeavor is trying to atone for the past, but it'll take a while before he'll be forgiven, and Shouto's older brother may never forgive his father, but who knows. How exactly did Touya die? |
 |
| I personally find Todoroki's family to be one of the most interesting parts of the show. This episode was a bit flashback heavy though. Made it seem less interesting overall. |
