#even the color page of the todo-fam chapters was about them

I'm slowly resigning myself to the fact that Vol 39 will have zero extra content on Shouto/Todo-fam and will be nothing but horny Toga sketches.
Probably Ochako solo cover, more Toga on the back.

I would give so much to see Shouto there and the trio back again but it seems even more unlikely now, I at least expected the Todoroki fam to have a clear conclusion and not just end with an apology that we don't even know if Shouto could hear it or not.. I think it would be great if they could bring Shouto back into the game first, then the rest of the class. Especially I can't comprehend the fact that someone who is so involved and related to the All Might plot isn't there right now, is this like 'He chose to help his family, so he lost the chance to be here' thing? Isn't Shouto's motive was to join his friends and be free, away from the family conflicts at least after dealing with them by stepping up? Didn't he earn the right to be alongside them by stepping up? Wasn't Iida's "now it is your turn to become the hero you want to be" about him wanting to be with his friends? that's not even where he wants to be right now, so it is literally uncomplete. His story was miserable from get-go why is he the one getting this cliffhanger kind of end, where I can't even feel happy for him that he saved so many people? Chapters of development only for him to get this? I don't know if it matters for anyone, mostly for dudebros, but I also have waited so long for the quirk awakening. Yes he is quite powerful and it seems like he does not need one but isn't it so unfair again? Many characters getting their magical, no effort quirk awakening moments when one thing he had against Touya was his own move he created training his ass off. (Not to mention narrator managed to made it look like Touya copied the move in seconds too but he can't even possibly copy it except the technique, and the hard part was containing the move with two quirks simultaneously, it was a 'positive' move to cool off Touya without hurting him, so there was no point of that.) In the last crumb of where he is passed out they said "Shouto completed his mission" so i lost my hope even more even though I expected something after his Rising chapter. Short chapters for him but long ones for other fights and characters even though most are trivial compared to Todo fam plot. I want to be grateful considering Horikoshi's health, he is doing a lot, but there are so many things to complain about because it is him again out of everyone, how is it always him getting this treatment? Feels so unfair and almost deliberate. It is extra upsetting since this is the end and there will be no turning back from all of this, whatever we can get we are getting now. I don't know if I should have hope I keep hurting myself by waiting and wishing he will wake up and join but I will be on cloud nine if he does lmao
Oh I definitely feel you.
I was pretty ok with the Todo-fam conclusion, even though we got cheated out of the color page and like the chapters were super short.
But then Toga vs Ochako got so much better art and so many more double pages, and Ochako got a quirk awakening after Bakugou had two already and then this absolute BS All Might vs AFO got like 8 chapters, and yeah, it's hard not to feel like us, Shouto fans have been shortchanged.
I feel pretty hopeless right now, and it also kind of soured for me the All Might- Shouto convo from Ch 386 (which I loved when it dropped), but which now feels like it has been just an excuse to get him away from this fight. And yeah, the message feels pretty shit - Shouto cannot be part of the main fight or the victory or the future icons, because he's burdened to clean up after Endeavor and doesn't even get much thanks for it.
It was a good climax for the family plot, but it's a very unsatisfying ending for Shouto as a character, who deserved so much better and should be part of the future pillars and should be part of the final victory.
If it was my story, I'd give Shouto a power-up for absorbing Dabi's fire and make the whole "he copied Phosphor" count into something (like Bakugou "losing" to ShigAFO gave him a power-up too) and have him come and help out against Tomura. But it is not my story, and sometimes I really wonder if Hori just hates Shouto.
My only hope for him to show up is that the TogaChako stuff also got left hanging and Ochako's power up really seems like it would be a good counter for some desparate Shigaraki move. She barely got to use it before she went down. So Aizawa/Kurogiri portal better get the Gunga gang here.
Also, yeah, Class A absolutely deserved better. Kiri, Momo, Iida got really screwed over especially out of the more important students. It makes me pretty sad that we spent so much time and color pages glorifying side characters like Gentle, and then never give proper highlight to beloved characters from Class A.
