My Hero Academia Chapter 390: Shoto Todoroki: Rising Spoiler Thoughts

It’s the dead of midnight where I am while typing this and the leaks for Chapter 390 just finished and holy shit what a ride. Phenomenal chapter, 10/10, beautiful, stunning, heartwarming, heartbreaking, I need a full 2 weeks to recover. Which we’re actually going to get because Horikoshi is taking yet another break thank god. Give that man a vacation already, Shonen Jump. OK, onto my very long immediate thoughts:

So real quick, things are going to be kind of scattered due to it being late and my mind being all over the place so please be patient ☺️

So, Shoto Todoroki: Rising. A lot of people including myself saw this one coming once we were focusing primarily on the Todoroki family and we were hitting chapter 390. Horikoshi seems to have a thing for the 90s chapters since Endeavor Vs. High-End was on Chapter 190 and Dabi’s Dance was 290. Interesting choice, but it works thematically and it makes it easy to go back and read the important chapters once they come out in physical volume.

That said, I’m so, so glad Shoto got a Rising chapter of his own. It’s been a very long time coming and this was his chapter. Shoto became the hero he is meant to be and used his own personal growth, his friend’s help (especially Iida here, someone please check on him later), and his family to stop Touya and probably save him. I’m so proud of him. He’s come such a long way and I love him so much. Shoto is my favorite character in the series for a good reason.

I love the part in Shoto’s narration while he’s running at full speed (thanks to Iida launching him and propelling himself via Phosphor) where he basically says the conflicts he’s faced and the way his friends feel towards others are things that helped him start to understand other’s feelings. This is basic human empathy at it’s core, but remember that Shoto was incredibly cold (no pun intended) and stoic at the beginning of the series. Even after Deku saved him in the Sports Festival, it didn’t automatically fix that stoicism and social ineptness. He was still struggling to understand people even, but he’s trying to get better at it to the point where he’s practicing talking to people better. It’s fantastic growth on Shoto’s part, really.

Shoto thinks to himself that if Dabi’s origin was so simple, it could’ve been stopped long ago. While I agree with Shoto to an extent, it’s more complicated than that as we’ve learned. Endeavor could’ve trained Touya more to the point where his Quirk would’ve developed to gain Rei’s ice. This would’ve made Endeavor’s dream child come true and Natsuo and Shoto would never have been born. But, Endeavor didn’t want to take the risk of having Touya constantly hurting himself with his own flames and his obsession with making an ice/fire child to beat All Might ultimately pushed everyone to the brink. Of course, everyone but Shoto played a part in Touya’s decline, and the whole situation is complicated enough as it is. So, it’s hard to say how “easy” this could’ve been solved in the first place. Maybe if Endeavor wasn’t such an obsessive bastard in the past, I don’t know. It’s hard to say, things were rough even before the kids were born.

There’s one panel when Shoto winds up his attack where it depicts him as a crying child and I DID NOT NEED TO SEE THIS TODAY, HORIKOSHI HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY OVER BABY SHOTO’S SUFFERING AGAIN!!! 😭

Guys, the way I sat there for 5 straight minutes with my mind running circles around “IS SHOTO ALIVE???” when I saw the panel of the kids smiling. Holy shit I was paralyzed.

So, Shoto launches a massive Great Glacial Aegir attack on Touya and actually manages to stop the explosion. He managed to save his entire family holy fucking shit. The sigh of relief when I saw the panel of Shoto still standing was palpable, my dudes.

Really good of Shoto to mention that Rei’s, Natsuo’s, and Fuyumi’s Frost Quirks helped Shoto stop Dabi since his ice alone wasn’t enough to put out Dabi’s flames. So, Shoto and his family really did stop Dabi all together like they promised. Way to bring things full circle.

And Shoto also mentions that because he can’t do everything on his own that he’s not the “masterpiece” Endeavor once thought he was. Again, great way to bring things around. Shoto’s not perfect Quirk-wise and that’s ok. It just means he’s still got ways to go and that he’s become his own man.

And holy shit everyone took a hit with this battle. I won’t be surprised if we see new scars on all the Todoroki’s. Shoto’s costume is pratically torn in half, though I’m surprised the cooler/heater on his back is still working. He’s bleeding from his nose too probably from being put through the ringer (he was real intense in that last attack; I’m positive his eyes were whited out in one panel where he attacked). Endeavor looks like he’s going to collapse and Dabi looks crispy as hell. No seriously, that man is cooked and his eyes have been burned completely off. I’m surprised he’s still alive now.

And Dabi still thinks everyone including himself should die. And then, Endeavor comes in and apologizes for everything to everyone in his family. To Touya for not going to Sekoto Peak, to Rei for all the abuse he put her through, to Fuyumi for putting all the responsibilities on her shoulders, to Natsuo for abandoning him, and finally to Shoto who says “I’m sorry...” to before he passes out. Some people will call out Endeavor for this, but it’s part of his arc to do something like this. Even if it won’t mend all fences, even he continues to apologize for his sins for the rest of his life, it’s still genuine progress for his character and I can’t help but appreciate that. Horikoshi continues to remind us of what Endeavor did in the past without asking us to forgive him entirely despite his atonement arc and this is another example of that.

Honestly, I really thought someone was going to die this chapter. The last few pages made it out to be like Dabi and Endeavor especially were going to bite the dust. For now, they’re unconscious, so we’ll see where Horikoshi takes us with them sometime later. I hope they’re both alive tbh. I was REAL worried Horikoshi was going to have the titanium steel balls to kill off Shoto for a hot minute, though. But, I don’t think that would’ve been a satisfying conclusion to his and his family’s arc, and I think having Bakugo dead is more than enough shock for any of us. Also, happy 300 days of being “dead”, Bakugo. Please come back soon 🥲.

EDIT: Ok, so it was clarified that Shoto is the one who passed out at the very end. You can see his small figure spread out on the ground in the last panel. I’m sure Endeavor is out too, but Shoto passing out makes sense. He put so much energy into these last two fights. He must be so exhausted poor thing 😭

Finally, the chapter ends with a POV change to Ochako Vs. Toga now that everyone’s safe from the explosion. We’re also getting another break next week, so nothing until at least the middle of June. It’s rough, but I’m ok with it since this chapter was incredible and probably hard on Horikoshi to write and draw. I truly hope he gets a vacation and doesn’t rush into things though.

So, the Todoroki Family arc is pretty much done for now, huh. Not gonna lie, it feels weird since it’s been the one of the main side-storyline since the Sports Festival all those years ago. Though I’m glad to see things wrapped up in a very satisfying way for me at least. Everything came full circle, I cried, I cheered, I got my emotions thrown out the window and sent on multiple roller coasters. It’s been an absolute joy watching Shoto grow into a badass with a heart of gold who is loved by his family and friends and learned to do the same for them. He’s my favorite character and will always hold a special place in my heart 🤍❤️🩵.

MHA Chapter 390: Todoroki Rising

About Shoto’s words to his mother..... Shoto you already care, yes you might not have been able to cry as easy due to your trauma, but you have shown time and time again you have cared about others. That's why you never went to see your mom for so long, you were afraid of what seeing you would do to her. You only went back, after your heart was opened cause you realized you can maybe save her in the same way.

After that you continued to help others. You empathized with Iida's darkness and helped him remember who he wanted to be. You were at Midoriya's side always helping him out, giving him half your lunch to giving him advice with Kota, to bringing him back to UA. You went to rescue Bakugo, knowing it was the right thing to do, damn the consequences. Yes the remedial course may have given you an assignment, but you wanted to help those children open up, sure the first time your approach didn’t work but you stepped up and tried again. You continued to show your friendship to Bakugo, knowing he was like you and was closed off from having friendship just like you once did. You could have selfishly went to your father and got an experience like no one else, but you didn’t.... you brought Bakugo and Midoriya, the two who also aimed for the top.... you did something your father would have never dreamed of doing. From the light novels, you gave Aoyama your seat when he was feeling sick on the bus, and you helped Mei with rounding up her inventions, leaving your precious photo of your mother to blow away possibly (dont worry Mei found it with her quirk later)

I wish people would stop short-selling Shouto and instead actually read what Shouto says in Ch 390 and not make up stuff that's not there.

The intervention of the family slowed down the rise of Touya's temperature, but didn't reverse the process in the slightest. The most important thing Rei, Fuyumi and Natsuo achieved was to prevent Endeavor to go through with the murder-suicide. But they couldn't do anything against the explosion.

2. Shouto's Great Glacial Aegir is what neutralizes Touya's impending explosion for all intents and purposes

3. "Might not have been" =/= "wouldn't have"

Shouto credits his family, saying that their intervention mattered in stopping Touya - their ice, them showing up, being there, stopping Endeavor from murder-suicide - in whatever way, without them being there, Great Glacial Aegir might not have been enough, not necessarily regarding this explosion, but also because Touya kept getting up, kept surpassing his limits to get the closure he wanted.

4. "He reached an uncharted territory I can't tread" - this doesn't mean Shouto can't beat Touya. It means that he can't / won't raise his fire to this suicidal level. He's noping out of the toxic mindset Endeavor created for them which is centered on getting fire hotter and hotter and using ice to stifle the inner heat.

Shouto already said that he was not going down the path that Endeavor wanted. He chose another way, his own way - nurturing his ice and using fire as support to his ice.

That doesn't mean that Shouto is weaker or less powerful than Touya. It just means he's working on flashfire in a different way than what Endeavor wanted for them. After all, he countered Touya twice now successfully, and what's more, he's doing it without hurting himself or anyone else around him.

So what he is talking about is Endeavor's ideal:

The path Endeavor designed for his coveted masterpiece, that he created his entire family around. But in the end, it was Touya, not Shouto who followed that path to it's tragic endpoint - where even with his inner ice, his body is falling apart trying to raise the heat to higher and higher levels.

So Touya is Endeavor's real masterpiece. He is the endgame to his little genetic experiment. That's one meaning of the masterpiece sentence.

The other is that Touya is also a masterpiece or Shouto isn't one either. All siblings have their unique personalities, talents, strengths, and Shouto wants to destroy this artificial division Endeavor created between them. He will not play this game where Touya feels like he has to torch himself even more. He will not have the family destroyed in a competition he never wanted in the first place.

That's what Shouto: Rising is about and anyone who is reading this chapter with some powerscaling glasses on to try to decide who is "strongest" - Shouto, Touya or Endeavor - woefully misses the entire point of the chapter.

This isn't about win or lose, or even ultimate feats of power - it's about putting an end to a competition that never should have happened in the first place.

It's Shouto sidestepping competition in favour of connection, it's about him deciding what his strength serves. It's about him affirming his own reason to exist - and not the one he was created for.

It hurts me so much knowing that Touya still has so much to say but now in this condition he can barely let out words, so all he manages to say is for them to all die :(

"I, the master of the Black Flame, Han Sooyoung, shall awake the Dragon of the ancient seal! Oh, the Constellation darker than darkness itself, oh, the abyss deeper than the flowing night…" She really didn't want to mutter out this chant even if she were to die, but with the situation being what it was, her lips began reciting it all by themselves. Her left arm reacted to her incantation and wiggled around; a Dragon's roar could be heard coming from a distant somewhere. "Here in this place, reveal yourself!" [Constellation, 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon', is getting ready for the 'Advent of Half-God'.]

Okay, Sooyoung's whole thing with the black flames and Abyssal Black Flame Dragon and the bandages on her hand/arm and just her overall power aesthetic has been giving me this vague sense of familiarity and now with this "let's summon an evil darkness dragon out of our arm as a last ditch effort that's definitely not a good idea" I think I just figured it out.
