Toga’s Love/Quirk Theory;

‘I love Tomura-kun and Touya-kun too, but their quirks won’t come out like Jin-kun’s or Ochako-chan’s. I also tried it before this battle...and they wouldn’t come out! Even though I love him... Even though I can become someone I ‘love’... Even though Jin-kun could make them come out... ‘

Translations made in here by @pikahlua.

Recently in chapter 382, we see Toga’s unable to become people she loves (Tomura and Dabi), despite the fact that she became Ochaco and Jin and used their quirks and i would argue that problem is not that she didnt love them enough. (This scene also remind me of the time La Brava gets depressed when her love quirk isnt powerfull enough and she questions her love, kinda parallels.)

But i dont think thats the case. Not after Shigaraki became the first person who believed in her, gave a place she belong to her and everything he did for her and not after Dabi and Toga recently connected through Jin’s death and we even get a official art of him imitating Dabi, more details in here.

I believe in you, Toga, that your love for them is geniue too.

So what’s the problem?

I think its no coincidence that the people whom she couldnt use their quirks happenned to be Shigaraki and Dabi. Suicidal brats who is full of hatred and have personal agenda in league the most, unlike Toga who wants to live, even if its her own way and she is living for love.

Toga cant fully become them because she cant understand them. She doesnt understand whats going on their head. She cant relate to their hatred and she doesnt understand their thoughts.

Compared to this;

Uraraka is Toga’s foil. She is someone who is just like Toga. This is exactly why Toga ran away to talk with her. Because they are similar. Their feelings, the way they tried to shut their feelings down because Toga did the same in the past, the good girls who repress their needs and they both want to become their crushes. This is why Toga thought if its Ochaco, then she can understand her and they could talk about love.

In Jin’s case, he is Toga’s bestie and someone she cares as big brother. They have many similarities, they both live for the connections. They both felt lonely. They both were abandonded by society and they wanted to live easier life. They saw league as home and they wanted to do their best to help people they care about.

Basically, Toga can understand their inner thoughts and relate to their inner feelings. I dont blame Toga for this really. Shigaraki and Dabi are too complicated to understand, especially if you dont know their story and inner thoughts. And they dont even talk about their past to connect with league so it makes sense why Toga cant use their quirks.

Well, you could say Toga cant become them because she doesnt want to become them? But i kinda disagree with that. There is a theory made in here by me and several people already mentioned that Toga is imitating Shigaraki and she seems to wanting to be more like him. I would even argue that when she says ‘Even though I love him... Even though I can become someone I ‘love’’, she is talking about Shigaraki.

‘I loved people’s happy faces. That’s why, for that girl, I won’t turn a blind eye to her tears.‘

Toga is a character who geniuely want to connect with people she care about but key point of love is understanding the person you love. I guess it happens to be good time to talk about love. And last panel with Uraraka and Toga is parallel with Deku’s last panel with Shigaraki, that they wont turn a blind eye to crying face, even though they are villains, they want to save them. So good luck, Toga and Ochaco.

My baby sister has heard of bnha and apparently watched some clips but only some tidbits from the 6th season (mainly the fight with Nagant, who is her favorite) And she very confidently told me that she knows all about keigo, who is hawks. I asked if he knew who dabi has, and she rolled her eyes and told me that yes, she knows he's touya, and that he used to be friends with keigo as kids!

She was very confused when I told her that... no, they weren't. They didn't know each other until adulthood. She insisted that she'd seen a video of them as kids together. I told her it was probably a fan animation, because a lot of people thought Dabi and Hawks knew each other as kids, since Dabi was the only one who knew hawks' real name. But it turned out he just tracked his mom down in secret. She insists that this is stupid, once again confirming that the "dabihawks secret childhood friends/rivals" theory is the only time fanon has ever been better than canon.

#sorry but objectively the 'touya was secretly in the HPSC at one point' theory was SO much better than what we got #not even from a shipper standpoint but a story one #all that buildup with the name and the black fucking speech bubble and NO PAYOFF. BOO!#they didn't even need to like each other! if it turned out they fucking hated each other as kids I would've laughed my ass off #give keigo a complex about how he would have TOALLY done a better job at being endeavor's kid than this nutjob. how dare he #bnha #dabihawks #not necesarily shippy but i think it warrants the tag #dabi #todoroki touya #hawks #takami keigo #also i had some theoretical idea that bnha was popuar with like. children.#but was completely unperpared for the revelation that it's like. a mainstay in 12 year olds' classroom discussions #absolutely terrifying no thank you!#Nagant being her favorite tho TASTE!! I CAN ALWAYS TRUST MY FAMILY

It's so funny to me that dabi decided to play "guess who" with Shoto back at the training camp but conspiracy theorist Shoto didn't suspect a thing.

#this just proves how silly Shoto's theories are #well obviously they are hes 16 #shoto todoroki #touya todoroki #dabi

Summary: “My life is a nightmare,” Dabi muttered blankly.

“Nah, this is hilarious,” Hawks said, and while he wasn’t explicitly laughing, Dabi knew that those weird little chirps he was letting out were pointed at him. “Imagine if we go through all this effort and you don’t even have some sort of dramatic background or tragic backstory to justify you being this emo, you’re just a hot topic junkie or something.”

“That’s fucking worse.”

Or,

Dabi has amnesia and keeps reading conspiracy theories about himself in an attempt to figure out who he is, gets the League in on it, and they dismantle organized crime, revolutionize society, and ravage the hero system in the process. Hawks suffers.

---

Review: Oh my god, this is hilarious! The idea of the LOV 'accidently' making the world a better place when the entire time they were trying to figure out Dabi's identity because even ‘Dabi’ couldn't remember it, is genius. I love how the world just thinks they've shifted into vigilantism. A lot more people like them now, and they have no idea because they're so focused on the investigation and never watch the news. Poor Hawks. They cause him no end of trouble. They also inadvertently free him - so there's that.

Speaking of Hawks... in this AU, Dabi also used to be in the same Commission program as him. They 'were' a couple and continue to be a couple now. This will always be my favorite MHA pairing.

We still get Dabi's dance and Endeavor exposure as well. Except here it's more funny than it is dramatic with Shigaraki literally laughing in the background and Toga live-streaming it.

If you recall, the quirk singularity theory established that quirks will become uncontrollable one day, following the rate at how they were increasing in power and the inability of the body to keep up with such growth. The best example of the veracity of such theory is Tomura Shigaraki and the way his body has morphed in order to accommodate the strength of his quirk, right?

My question is: Have Toga and Dabi breached the quirk singularity point? Could that be the reason why Toga became able to use the quirk of the people she shape-shifts into, the reason why Dabi's alive and his body seems to regenerate a little or at least withstand the rate of destruction he inflicts on himself?

The Lov’s bonds with each other are all they have + Dabi Recovery Theories

(Second Side Meta) (Spoiler warning, short meta + theories)

It doesn’t really matter if the Lov inner relationships are unhealthy or if they encourage their worse traits because they don’t have anyone else but each other, even at this current point in the manga.

Excluding Dabi, maybe.

Shigaraki’s family is dead, Toga’s parents were horrible and Spinner’s family was presumably close to the same as he never mentioned them or at least they’re not present in his life.

And while we don’t know much about Compress’s family other than his Grandfather being a “peerless Thief”, the fact that he wound up in the Lov implies that he doesn’t have much, if anything, going for him either.

The individual members of the Lov have nothing to go back to and no one from their pasts that they could depend on in any circumstances.

So the small and pitfall ridden bonds that they share with one another are their only human connection and what connects them to their own humanity.

(I don’t really have any concrete proof that this ^ scene isn’t a manipulation on Dabi’s part but the art framing and overall plot relevance of the scene heavily implies that it isn’t a manipulation but genuine in its sentiment.)

Showing tears for others (Toga), their loyalty to others (Spinner and compress), and that despite everything they’re still themselves (Dabi and hopefully in future coming chapters Shigaraki too).

(Forgot to put this scene in earlier Meta, Spinner loyalty ^ here)

Whether these sentiments and actions have a good result is nearly irrelevant, as the actions and feelings themselves drive the Lov on the only path to survival that is currently available to them while at the same time showing that they do still have many forms of Love inside them.

And the path that they’re currently on is still definitely the only path that could have a chance of them surviving, because the Hero Kids are not where they need to be in the saving department yet.

(This ^ does not inspire confidence.)

Unless it’s made clear that when the hero kids say they intend to stop/save their respective villains, they mean not only from death but also from being locked up to rot in prison forever, and they’re willing to actually fight in anyway that’s needed to make sure that doesn’t happen, the hero kid’s intentions don’t mean anything.

Because obviously throwing the Lov in prison isn’t saving them, there’s no way the hero kids can save the villain’s hearts from outside of a metal box (a key theme of saving in Bnha is saving the Heart).

That’s not even saving the Lov’s lives either really, because that’s just another form of killing them slowly and depending on perspective, with even more cruelty.

Dabi is both different and similar, as he does still have his family that does care about him but his future with them is still very uncertain.

They all came together to save Touya and each other which is good but Natsuo then saying that things will be “Hell” from now on, whatever that means, leaves Dabi’s fate on pretty much one of only two paths.

With Hero Society or with the Todoroki Family.

It can’t be both, because after everything that’s happened and the parts Dabi played in trying to take down the current system, Hero society won’t let him be saved in any way that could really count as saving.

Dabi Recovery Theories

Personally, what I think should happen, if the Todoroki’s are really intending to follow through on saving Touya and making sure that he can make a full(ish) recovery, is fake his death.

Someone as connected/wealthy as Endeavor must have access to private medical facilities, someplace they could stash Touya to keep him alive.

And with some heroes loyal to Endeavor or Shoto, or if they’re capable of exiting the area themselves with the help of the rest of the Todoroki family, take Touya and escape, hiding him there while saying that the villain Dabi fully incinerated himself in the near explosion.

Dabi is dead to the world but Touya can live and heal.

It’s pretty clear from the framing that Touya will live but for how exactly he would survive with his current injuries and fully recover, I have three theories.

The first theory being that with the right medical attention, Dabi could simply survive more or less as is.

A simple thought but plausible, because excluding one of his arms and some outer muscle lost, Dabi’s injuries aren’t so much worse than what he already went through and survived as a child.

As long as his insides aren’t burned up (which they aren’t thanks to the appearance of his dormant Ice Quirk), he should be able to survive with medical attention.

And for making a full recovery (maybe not exactly a ‘Full recovery’ in this case as while they could feasibly replace his lost skin, the burned muscle might be different story) prosthetic limbs are pretty common in Bnha’s world, with even Compress being able to get his hands on a metal arm while on the run with the Lov.

The second theory is using Eri’s rewind Quirk, using medical equipment to ensure Dabi survives long enough for Eri’s horn (her power) to regrow and rewind Dabi to a state before he was so severely burned.

This is another simple solution (personally not a fan of this one) but entirely possible, although the heroes continually using Eri to solve their injuries/problems is a bit sketch (even the heroes admit that), so there is one very interesting theory left I can think of.

The Third theory: The heroes (specifically Endeavor) could try to use the imprisoned Doctor Garaki and the high-end Nomu to save and heal Dabi.

By transferring the high-end Nomu’s regeneration quirk (something all the high-ends have, implying that the power can be replicated and transferred) to Dabi, using the doctor’s knowledge and previous experience of “grafting quirks” onto other beings (the Doctor said he could accomplish this action even without the AFO Quirk).

As for how this scenario would be possible, Endeavor would finally have to step up as a Father instead of as a hero, in fact risking his life/status as a hero.

Either by forcefully taking the Doctor and the Nomu from Prison himself or by leveraging his status as the Number one hero (what’s left of it) to force this plan to happen for Dabi’s sake.

And I personally think that this would be a great ending to Endeavor’s story as a hero, if he truly does regret everything he did.

Endeavor risking or sacrificing everything he personally has left (his hero existence) in the present to help the Son he chose not to show up for in the past, finally putting Touya first to fully save him from the flames.

That seems like good narrative storytelling to me.

Izuku & Touya Parallels;

Thanks, anon ^^ and well, the biggest foil of Izuku is Tenko and the biggest foil of Touya is Shouto but there are definitely parallels between Shouto and Tenko, Touya, and Izuku. What makes them similar is that how both Tenko and Shouto were the youngest child, the center of the family's attention, and groomed by adults, treated as "special kids". And in Izuku and Touya's case, it's the opposite. Their story is about they are not enough, they are not chosen, they are invisible kids and their problems are overlooked by adults around them.

They also share similar characteristic traits, such as being passionate about their dream. They are vulnerable and sensitive and non-masculine. Both Deku and Touya are invisible children. They think they are far from their dreams but they never give up. They are so stubborn, no matter how much people told them they continue to try to achieve their dreams. They refuse to choose another way for life. They both are hardworking kids who are full of passion and tension. They are obsessive. Deku with Allmight, Touya/Dabi with Endeavour.

They are both hard workers who always do their best to achieve their goals. They seem to have good analysis skills when it comes to quirks. They both are crybabies. They are self-destructive, they think it is okay to get hurt. They have very low esteems. They tend to neglect their close ones when it comes to making plans, Deku's constantly focusing on the hero's job, instead of discussing with friends about his issues could be seen as similar to Dabi's own agenda. It is almost like there is always some part of them they don't want to show to other people, the side they feel insecure about themselves which is most likely they don't really much aware of it. Characters like Tomura and Shouto have their own agendas too but they don't really try to hide it. Shouto simply doesn't want to discuss his private life while Tomura doesn't even remember it. But Deku and Dabi try to do things on their own.

Both Izuku and Touya are 'disabled'. They both live with the same unhealthy mentality and everything they do is related to this mindset. Because the idea that they are not enough didnt go away. In a society where everyone have quirks, Izuku has no quirk and Touya has the worst type of combination quirk and his quirk is literally killing him. Hero-or-Quirk society treats people depending on their quirks, depending on their worth. Not only society, it also happens with people around them. Izuku is brutally abused by Bakugou and Touya is abandoned by his father Endeavour. Which lead them to internalize the idea that they are worthless and useless. To be worthy, they have to prove their worth. Which leads them to self-destruction. This is also the reason quirkless Izuku was obsessed with heroes and later he got his quirk, he breaks his bones every chance he has. And Touya/Dabi burning his own body. Everything they do is related to this mindset, that they are not good enough and they will never be so they have this constant need to prove themselves to others, to prove the world that they are wrong about them.

They desire to be a hero more than anything. It's almost like it is part of who they are as if they have to be heroes to be something. This also tells a lot about the hero society's kids and how heroes are perceived. Touya tells 'Kids in my school all want to be heroes' and Izuku and Tenko don't even have to be heroes to have a job that included helping people but they think they have to be one. Because heroes are seen as positive figures and telling them you can't be one, saying as 'You can't be a positive model for people'. No matter how much they are rejected, they won't give up on their dreams of being a hero. We also see how it messes up kids like Izuku and Touya.

And they don't want to be just any hero, they want to be the greatest heroes. Its literally same desperation. Izuku wants to be just like Allmight and Touya wants to surpass Allmight. Those two kids have their idol heroes too, they idolize them so much, so much that they inherit unhealthy behavior from their idols. Izuku's idol is Allmight, he is like a father to him, he inherits Allmight's idea of self-sacrificing; self-destructive behavior. Touya's idol is his father Endeavour, he inherits a lot of toxic behaviors, such as toxic masculinity, looking down on girls, and seeing people as worthy depending on how useful or strong they are, which makes sense since he was raised by his idol. At least, Deku also inherits positive traits from his idol, such as well saving people.

Another common point is Izuku and Touya were abused but they don't see themselves as victims while these common traits they share with other characters in bnha too but Izuku and Touya have very unhealthy relationships with their abuser. That they have admiration for them and view them as good heroes. Even though both Bakugou and Endeavour share many toxic traits and are one of the main examples of bad heroes (especially at the start of the series). Izuku and Touya take this admiration to the point they will excuse their wrong actions, that it is okay to be hurt by them, which is why Izuku doesn't mind being bullied by Bakugou during the series and Touya is okay with 'training'.

The only and main difference is Touya reached his breaking point. It is important to remember that even after being burnt to death, even after 3 years of coma and losing everything, Touya was still ready to forgive Endeavour, which he realized he will never change, that was the breaking point. This is why you would expect Izuku to snap at Bakugou at some point too but well, I think writing bullying and Izuku's feelings about his abuse is very flawed, unfortunately, otherwise, I think Izuku also felt/feel very angry (besides unhealthy admiration) towards his abuser, just like Touya and Tenko had/has.

They tend to idolize, and become obsessive of people, and follow people they admire and they are also copycats. Izuku is not hiding this side of himself, he always copies other people's moves and make them his own version, especially Allmight's moves. As much as he acts tough and masculine, Dabi is not different. First, he took Stain's ideology, and follow Shigaraki's orders, during the series he is copying Endeavour's moves, and recently, he even copied Shouto's move and make it his own version.

Note; They are not actually copycats since there is nothing wrong with learning new things from other people, especially for fights.

Deku and Dabi are not just self-destructive but they also tend to die dramatically. Deku desperately trying fit into society, he breaks his bones so that he can deserve to be a successor of Ofa/Allmight. This burden he carries is even leads him to distance himself from his friends. Dabi takes revenge on Endeavour and burns himself to death because just like Deku, he has no self-worth. He sees himself as a failure and thats why they both are suicidal. Both Deku and Touya are obsessed with training, they secretly go out their way to train their bodies. They don't trust adults in their lives because they have been failed by them constantly so they don't listen when someone tells them to stop killing themselves. Its not just not caring about himself, even in a situation where they can survive and find better ways, they will plan their death. Deku's plan to die by killing Shigaraki and Dabi's plan to die by killing Endeavour and others can be seen as parallels. Like a martyr.

Their journey is opposite of each other. Touya's origin started as a hero, he was born to be a hero, he was told that he is amazingly special and naturally talented. To the point, there was no life for Touya to live. Being a hero was his identity. And in Izuku's case, he was born into nothing and he is worthless and has no talent and despite wanting to be a hero, he was constantly told that he will never be one. They are both neglected by their fathers, Touya later abandonded by his idol and Izuku’s father isnt around and later he is kinda adopted by his idol Allmight. Touya's journey started as a hero only to later be abandoned and treated as a failure, and nothing. That he will never be enough for what it takes to be a hero. Izuku's journey started as a failure only to later meet with his idol so that he can be a hero. Touya was chosen, a child with full of potential but he was thrown away and Izuku was the unchosen one but he is given a chance into becoming the person he wants to be.

After inheriting one for all, Izuku's pushing his friends is similar to Touya's 'i don't need any friends! We live in different worlds' by a different world, Touya means other people can't understand the legacy he carries, just like Izuku who said similar things to Shouto. 'It is a fight between one for all and all for one. You guys can't keep up.' They are pushing other people because of the legacy of their idols, they think it's better to do it alone, though it is important to remember that they are conditioned to think this way. Endeavour told Touya that he is living in different worlds and that he is the one who isolated him from other kids and Allmight and others did the same. This is why Izuku and Touya believe others can't understand this burden. It is also interesting that even though their journey is opposite of one another, they still have similar mindset and behaviors.

I am sure that there are more parallels between them but for now, thats it. Izuku and Touya have a lot of parallels with Shouto and Tenko. Their journey is parallels with each others and well, Shouto is familiar with Izuku’s destructive side and ‘i dont need help’ attitude, he always notices his pain and he also notices Dabi’s pain so this might help him to save his brother too. Same with Izuku who is familliar with kids who dont want to be saved, it might help him to save Tomura too so yeah. I really wish we get more about them but well, anyway, its fun to analyze them and i think, their parallels are important too.

Y'all, why... why did I think this whole time AFO has been wearing ties? He has not been wearing ties, yet here I am just thinking he does.

EDIT: Let me be clear! I thought he was wearing ties ALMOST EVERY SINGLE TIME he showed up.

#why did i just think this guy is a tie wearer?#how could i lie to myself like that?#see this would debunk the dfo theory because how could afo teach Midoriya to tie a tie when he doesn't even wear one!! /j #he is shown wearing one ONCE and that's in a flashback with touya #just kiya's thoughts #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #my hero academia #afo #all for one

Okay. Theory time.

So in recent chapters, I’ve noticed Rei… shrink a little.

In these panels, she appears to be a little shorter than Fuyumi, cool, makes sense right.

But compare that to what we’ve seen from her before…

Now, whichever you go with as her canon height, it implies that Rei either shrunk at least a little, or one heck of a lot.

Because, the canon heights of the Todoroki’s are:

Enji: 195cm

Natsuo: 181cm

Touya: 176cm

Shouto: 176cm

Fuyumi: 160cm

If we take image one as her canon height, she’s shown to be slightly taller than Shouto which could place her anywhere from about 177-180cm (this is a rough estimate, and it could also be that she’s the exact same height as him, they’re standing weird).

If we take image two as her canon height, her height would be about 170cm, the same height as Elsa from Frozen (that’s not relevant, I just think it’s funny). The reason why THIS could make sense, is because image one could be chalked up to Rei being drawn taller for ✨symbolism✨ purposes, show she’s grown as a person, and because she seems to be most consistently drawn that way:

Now, you could dispute this by saying Enji’s drawn taller than her to symbolize the power dynamic, and her growth spurt in the “Keeping up with the Todoroki Chapters” is supposed to symbolize her gaining control and power over a situation, and I WOULD be into that and agree, BUT.

After all that, she’s drawn shorter than FUYUMI, who’s anywhere between 10-20cm behind Rei’s height estimate (her height difference with Natsuo also makes little sense, but I digress).

Which leads us to my three main theories.

1. Horikoshi just… forgot

So if you missed the entire point of this post, Rei doesn’t have a confirmed height. That’s because she is the ONLY member of the Todoroki Family without a character profile, which is still so baffling to me.

Rei is just as, if not more, plot relevant than Fuyumi and Natsuo, and I feel like the time for her character profile should’ve come about 40 Chapters ago, but alas.

And I feel like, if you don’t really have a set height for a character, you’re gonna mess up that characters height quite a bit. I’m not necessarily angry at Horikoshi for this, that would be a little a weird, especially if it was just an honest fuck up. However. I do feel like he should’ve AT LEAST set a height for her, for one it would stop dumbasses like me from making shit posts like this.

2. The heights in BNHA are fucked

Theory 2, basically the heights in BNHA have always been very inconsistent, and I’m just reading way too deep here. This is the shortest one, and the one that makes the most sense, let’s get into the nonsense now :)

3. That’s not Rei

You might be wondering why I’m spewing such nonsense, but bare with me here.

The reason why Rei’s shorter is because that’s Geten.

So to refresh everyone’s memory, Geten has recently been arrested, and while admittedly, I am still depressed as fucckkk over that, I would also like to argue how easy it is for him to escape.

Thousands upon thousands of Villains were arrested post the PLF War, and I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that would absolutely fuck over the Japanese prison system. My point is it would be very easy for one to slip by.

That brings us to my two sub-theories for this one, all of which involve Geten and Rei being related, so be warned.

1. An Us style switch took place and no one noticed.

So this theory basically involves Rei going to visit Geten in Jail, to like help interrogations or just to be there for a weird family member, and then boom! Switcheroo! This would mean Rei is being held against her will in some Prison at the moment, which wouldn’t be too far off from where she was through 99% of the series. Now, this could imply that Geten’s collecting intel at UA to assist the Villains in destroying society, which story wise would be insane, but so is everything else in BNHA now, so I don’t CARE. This would also mean that Geten has just been chilling at UA patiently waiting for the right moment to strike this whole time, and I feel like that moment would be coming up right about now. Also just imagine the drama, like UA starts going to shit, with Sk*ptics hacking and shit, and just when a hero is calming everyone down, BOOM! Avalanche. And then Fuyumi and Natsuo would get to be like “…mom…what???” And then Geten’s like “I’m not your mom and I can’t believe you fell for that for MONTHS”. It’d be so fucking funny, and I don’t even think it’s that out of place for this current arc, like if BNHA is gonna be dumb, it might as well be insane.

Theory 2: they’re switching willingly because Rei is a twist villain TM

Theory 2 involves Rei and Geten’s combined one Braincell just continuously fooling the prison guards by switching places every couple weeks. Does it make sense? No but it’s funny. Like imagine Rei stepping in an overcrowded cell like “family drama is killing me, you can clock in early this time” and then she pulls out a jail suit that’s her size and bonds with the other MLA members in jail by braiding their hair or something while Geten has to deal with Shouto venting about Dabi. This would also imply that they straight up don’t notice whenever their mom shrinks and becomes increasingly angrier and feral, which happens like every two weeks. My argument to that is they think it’s a mental health thing, Shouto probably assumes it’s a period thing because he’s a moron. “Oh mom shrunk and bit Mr Aizawa again, must be her time of the month :|”. It’s also funny to think that they get mixed up and like both end up going to a piano recital at UA simultaneously or some shit, and just no one notices. Like they’re standing next to each other like “the fuck??? You should be in JAIL, it’s MY day out” and class a’s just standing there like “woah did fuyumi dye her hair like natsuo? :0 wonder what they’re fighting about”. it involves a lot of suspension of disbelief, but like what else is new. I feel like I’m this context Rei would also be an MLA member, and have provided them with intel during her time in the mental hospital. like endys entire private life. also y’know stock standard “she’s geten’s mom” thing lol.

Anyway, at the end of the day it doesn’t matter which theory it is, because it would get us to the same place. That is, Geten, this like 17-19 unhinged, feral child pretending to be some middle aged mom and it WORKING. Why? Because the Todoroki family is illiterate when it comes to mental health and they’d probably just be like “well moms been in a mental hospital for a while, maybe this is just her personality now, she tore into dad back there so :p“.

At the end of the day, is any of this canon, no. Would I like to see it because it’s absolutely unhinged? Yes. I need this in my life guys. Horikoshi is unfortunately a COWARD, and will not make this happen, so I’ll probably just make an AU out of it and call it a day. Would be fun.
