touya is a drama queen (/pos), you can’t just fit him in a tiny case
if he had been there he would have stolen the show (as he should). you know that time he made a dramatic bow during the final fight? that.
the only thing that could’ve fit in the epilogue would’ve been seeing him eat soba with shouto and/or reading spinner’s book. but anything related to the Todoroki Family Drama™ would’ve required so much more information. you can’t tell me touya wouldn’t have spent an entire chapter roasting endeavor if he had been given the opportunity
my hot take is the reason we never saw anything of Touya in the epilogue is because anything with Touya would require several pages of explanation, you can't stuff it into a tiny frame.
him dying in the thingamabob? would need room to show the family's reactions and especially Shouto's who if this were the case would have failed to save his brother, Rei's about saving her son's life from being killed by Endeavor only for him to still die, and Natsuo, who was the closest to Touya and hasn't interacted with him at all since learning he had survived the fire.
Touya recovering and outliving yet another pessimistic prognosis for his life expectancy? what would he even do with his life, after the people who were his friends were slaughtered and captured by the oppressors they had fought against, and lost? the only reason he didn't share their fates is his relation to Enji.
him cutting off Endeavor? took Natsuo three pages to do, no way to fit it into a brief montage.
Touya escaping with the League? that's a whole another manga of its own.
Okay, but imagine the LoV watching the news and some segment on Endeavor comes up and then Mr. Compress out of nowhere says in the most offhand tone, "You know, a year or so before all this started, I dated that guy's daughter for a couple weeks."
And Dabi has to sit there with his eye twitching and all, Wtf, wtf, wtf, wtf...wait, why do I even care? I don't care. Fuck it. Fuyumi can do what she wants. Touya is dead and Dabi does not care if some second-rate sideshow act wannabe-- "...did...you break her heart?"
"What? No, we weren't really all that compatible, we both agreed the age gap was a little much, I found out who her father was and that terrified me because what sane person wants that for an in-law, she was starting to question whether or not she was even heterosexual at all, so we broke it off like amicable adults and haven't spoken since. Really, young man, what do you take me for?"
Completely oblivious to the small world bs that's happening and the bullet he just dodged.
not a reviewer saying they "added a lesbian" to the count of monte cristo... my girl eugénie has been there since 1844
Eri goes on to have a career in music. Despite some encouragement to go into healing with her quirk, she doesn't want to, and instead wants to do something lighthearted that brings people joy
Yaoyorozu actually changed her hero outfit (the one we see in 430 with the covered front) sometime during the winter in her second year at UA. It was originally her winter costume, but she ended up keeping it for all seasons and into adulthood
At some point before graduating UA, Ashido taught Eri how to dance
There is an instagram page dedicated to adorable awkward clips from Shoto's various interviews. He knows about it but doesn't understand what people find appealing about it. Unbeknownst to everyone, the page is run by Kaminari
Kaminari also runs a page dedicated to clips of Bakugo screaming at people. Bakugo knows about the page but doesn't know who runs it, and has ranted to Kaminari about "the damn idiot" who thinks they can mess with him
At some point while Touya was in the hospital, Endeavor went in to visit one day and Shoto was sitting there eating soba while staring at the glass, both brothers in complete silence. When Enji asked what was happening, Touya responded "bonding time. Now get out"
Deku has texted Fuyumi for teaching advice
Bakugo has texted Fuyumi for more recipes
Deku has read the League of Villains book and owns a copy. He feels he owes it to Shigaraki to keep the memory close
Spinner never gets to reunite with Mr Compress but years later received a fan letter from "Mister" that just said "thank you for keeping their memory alive"
Deku is one of those teachers who gets distracted easily. The class knows this, and once got out of a whole test by asking Deku to analyze Mirio's newest special move
Individual members of Class A have come into Deku's class as guest speakers
After Deku gets his super suit, he arranges a training event with Class A where they play villains and his students have to defeat them
Some years down the line, Bakugo becomes a UA teacher. He insists that he teach the same year as Deku because he wants to have their classes compete to see who is the better teacher
🌍✨ A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope ❤️🩹
Hi, my name is Mosab , and I’m from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today I’m sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
This journey hasn’t been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from us—25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love… all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.
Our Journey So Far
When I first reached out, I couldn’t have imagined we’d make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.
But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, we’re reminded of how much we’ve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Here’s what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:
🏠 Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.
😢 Loss: The absence of the 25 family members we’ve lost is a pain we carry every moment.
💔 Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 may seem small, but for us, it’s a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. ❤️
Can’t donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.
Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isn’t just about helping us meet our goal—it’s about reminding us that we’re not alone in this fight. It’s about hope. It’s about survival. And it’s about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, I’m endlessly grateful.
With all my love and gratitude,
Mosab and Family ❤️
lmao that’s my theory too
but it’s so sad?????? imagine thinking for years that your son is out there growing up and becoming a responsible or something
and one day your nurse is just “ok girl i need to tell you something-”
and while you’re probably still mourning your ‘dead’ son shows up ON NATIONAL TV like “hey guys my name is touya, endeavor is an asshole, hope you enjoy me causing trouble everywhere <3”
Ur telling me that Touya "died" not long after Rei was hospitalized. HE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIS MOM BEFORE THE INCIDENT PLRWSEEEREHSHH😞 How did they break the news to her oml
just learned that there’s a ‘best chapter’ poll
the only correct answer is chapter 290, hope this helps!
Just a friendly reminder that Horikoshi always intended for Tomura and Touya to be the closest thing to soulmates/eachother’s identical parallel. Their thoughts and the reasonings? Practically the same. They’ll tear themselves apart just for a shred of validation; a plea for someone to see them, even as they destroy the others around them. Who cares is innocents get hurt, right? In the end, the result will be far more valuable than a couple of stranger’s lives.
Dabi’s entire philosophy is quite literally to burn everything around him into ash, including himself and Endeavour, all to liberate himself and others from the false shackles of hero society. This ideology *perfectly* coincides with Tomura, who not only wants to carve out a place in this dejected world for all of his followers, but to also liberate and destroy. Even as children their ideologies would have agreed with one another, which is, “Why should my father’s limitations on me restrict who I am? I just want to be free.”
The meaning behind their names. Tenko ( 転弧) & Touya ( 燈矢); Tenko’s name has the kanji with the meaning “bow” in it. and Touya’s name has the kanji with the meaning “arrow” in it. Hand in hand. Another interesting fact of their names is that 燈(Tō) means "lamp", or "light”, and 転 (Ten) means "turn", or "revolve”, which could signify the instinctive nature of humans (or Tenko himself?) to ‘revolve’ around light (or Touya’s fire/heat in a metaphorical sense).
If we also want to talk metaphorical, ‘light’ could be used to describe the lightheartedness of Touya’s character before Enji destroyed him at the seams, and we know that as a child, Tenko was a loving, empathetic child, attracted to ‘light’ (the softness and kindness of others). He played games with rejected children, defended them, and acted as a ‘hero’ in his own way. This parallel of Touya needing a savior and Tenko readily taking in others who need it, is very interesting to see, especially when we literally see this acted out later on in the LOV!
One more theory I have…now hear me out…also alludes to their name meanings. 矢 (Ya) means "arrow”…but 弧 (Ko) means "arc," indicating a curved path or trajectory. Now, arrows typically travel in a straight line or path when shot. Except for when they’re deemed, “defective.” You know where I’m going with this. It’s almost a completed story with those two characters. A defective arrow that lead a curved path, all because of a manufacturing/crafting issue. Sorry if that hit you hard, me too.
I’m so delusional about them. It’s totally okay.
read 'the guy I was interested in wasn't a guy at all' and now all I can think about is an au where fem!shigaraki fucking hates the guts of the arsonist guy who joined her League of Villains because he's the exact type of villains she hates most: a rude and condescending misogynistic asshole (what right does he have to swagger around looking like he owns the place when he refuses to express an ounce of respect to her, his rightful leader, and is ugly as sin?!).
what tomura doesn't know is that dabi's experience as a scarred teenage girl on the streets with nothing to her name besides a dangerous quirk has led to her hiding her gender and acting as off-putting as possible in hopes other villains leave her alone and don't bother her about her body or appearance.
