"At the time I kept to search for you, because I believed you were still alive"

This line (that is almost passed unobserved because it was completed only later in small characters during the action-heavy Dabi's revelation) fascinates me. Enji thought Touya could be alive, but how long he stuck to that hope? Did he mean he kept to search for him at the Sekoto peak after the firefighters said him they found only his jaw or that he searched for Touya around the city? For how long? Hours, days, weeks, months? When Touya woke up three years later, his father'd only recently stopped to search for him? It's one of those "dramatic irony" clichés where the altarpiece was actually placed just in time to make Touya to see it? Considering the first thing Touya asked when he woke up was if his father was worried about him, and to be upset believing they just put him at rest and moved on with their lives, to know about that could be comforting... Are we in for another flashback about the time gap between his "death" and awakening, or what is enough is enough about Todorokis' past?

BNHA Observations, speculations and assorted info: Todoroki Mansion (Part 5: Bedrooms)

So, in order to write my fic, I spend much time observing canon scenes, comparing the manga and the anime version, take note of details, translations and info in them as well as finding out how are some things called.

Since what I noticed/speculated/found out can be of use for other fic authors I thought to share as well.

Resources:

Chap. 39 “Todoroki Shōto: Origin” (轟焦凍：オリジン Todoroki Shōto: Origin) Chap. 44 “Relaxing Day Off” (休め振替休日 Yasume Furikae Kyūjitsu) Chap. 99 “Goodbye Two-Digit Chapters, Hello Three Digits” (さよなら二桁これから三桁 Sayonara Futaketa Korekara Sanketa) Chap. 248 “One Thing at a Time” (一つ一つ Hitotsu Hitotsu) Chap. 291 “Thanks For Going Strong” (元気でいてくれてありがとう Genkide Ite Kurete Arigatō) Chap. 302 “The Wrong Way to Put Out a Fire, Part 2” (火の不始末後編 Hi no Fushimatsu Kōhen) Chap. 388 “Tōya” (燈矢 Tōya)

Ep. 23 “Todoroki Shōto: Origin” (轟焦凍:オリジン Todoroki Shōto: Origin) Ep. 25 “Todoroki vs. Bakugō” (轟VS爆豪 Todoroki versus Bakugō) Ep. 51 “Moving into Dorms” (入れ寮 Haire Ryō) Ep. 105 “The Hellish Todoroki Family” (地獄の轟くん家 Jigoku no Todoroki-kun-chi) Ep. 124 “Dabi's Dance” (ダビダンス Dabi Dance) Ep. 130 “The Wrong Way to Put Out a Fire” (火の不始末 Hi no Fushimatsu)

School Briefs III "Dramatic Makeover!" School Briefs V "Awkward Year's-End Soba"

OBSERVATIONS, SPECULATIONS AND ASSORTED INFO:

Through the story we don't really get to see all the bedrooms in the house, we only see the room in which baby Fuyumi and toddler Touya slept, the one in which Natsuo and Touya slept and the one in which Shouto (baby and child) slept, as well as the room Shouto had in U.A. dormitories which is said to have furnitures that match the ones he had in his room.

Due to what we see we can draw up some common point and then analyze differences as well.

The bedrooms in the Todoroki Mansion are washitsu (和室), which means "harmony room" but which is the name used to mean "Japanese-style room".

It's a room characterized by a tatami flooring (Tatami (畳) is a type of mat used as a flooring material in traditional Japanese-style rooms)...

and sliding doors, be they Shōji (consisting of translucent or transparent sheets on a lattice frame) or Fusuma (vertical rectangular panels often painted)...

....and, if the particular room is also meant to serve as a bedroom it can have an Oshiire (押入れ), a built-in space where bedding items (futon mattress and pillows, etc.) but sometimes also clothes or item people do not usually use are stored.

I'll spoil you a bit and tell you the Todoroki are always shown sleeping not in cribs or western beds but in Futon (布団), a traditional Japanese style of bedding...

...whose complete set consists of a Shikibuton (敷き布団 "spreading futon") mattress...

...and a Kakebuton (掛け布団 "covering futon") duvet.

The pillows used are Makura (まくら) pillows, which are generally firmer than western pillows.

HOW ONE REACHES THEM?

The bedrooms we're shown seem to be not on the ground floor but on the first floor. We aren't shown where the stairs are so it's hard to say which way one has to take to reach them, but the visual seems to imply they can be reached by the engawa on the first floor since that's what's shown to us after showing us Touya and Natsuo's bedroom... and the place from where Shouto watches his siblings.

Since when Enji reaches Shouto while the latter is watching his siblings from it and, planning to bring him to the training room, he leads him in the direction opposite to where the entrance is, it's likely there should be stairs to get on the ground floor in that direction, though it's possible there are more in the opposite as well.

THE FIRST FLOOR ENGAWA

So I've been told the corridor above the engawa at the ground floor also qualifies as engawa (縁側/掾側) or en (縁) since it's also an edging strip of non-tatami-matted flooring, usually wood or bamboo which run around the rooms, on the outside of the building.

The one we're always shown has a view on the Todoroki garden.

In addition to the wooden railing, it is enclosed by glass (actually, the first time the anime showed it, the glass was missing and Shouto could touch the railing but then they retconned the scene in season 6 and drew it so that Shouto didn't rest his hand on the railing anymore).

Plenty of Shōji doors with a lower door panel open on it, while the floor is in wood.

Does those Shōji doors lead directly to the bedrooms?

It's hard to say, as characters seem to enter in the bedrooms ALWAYS by Fusuma doors and not by Shōji doors and in the "School Briefs" it's said Shouto's bedroom had a Shōji window.

What's more, when we see the inside of Natsuo and Touya's room, in the anime we're shown the one on the opposite side of the door is clearly a Shōji window... while in the manga we can't really see it well but there's furniture in front of it so I doubt it's a door.

Whatever, let's focus on what we see of them.

BABY FUYUMI AND TODDLER TOUYA'S ROOM

We don't really know if this is their bedroom or they're sharing the bedroom with their parents. They were clearly put down for a nap, and left under Enji's supervision, so it would make sense for their Futon only to be out and not for the ones of their parents.

Contrary to what many fanfics say, they don't sleep in cribs but they have baby Futon.

So, behind Enji we can see Fusuma doors, which in the manga have same sort of drawing on the lower part while in the anime have a stripe on them.

In the manga those doors could be the door to get inside the room, as well as the door to an Oshiire.

In the anime they seem more like the door to an Oshiire, since we can see a Shōji door with no lower door panel on the left. The anime adds some furniture to carry baby necessities and a pillow with giant plushies. Oddly enough and differently from the manga the floor in the anime doesn't seem to be a tatami one, but it likely is meant to be.

BABY SHOUTO'S ROOM

It's hard to say if it's the same room in the manga, as we can't see well the Fusuma doors. It's clearly not the same room in the anime as the Fusuma doors are different but at least now we can see the tatami mats.

Hard to say if this is meant to be Shouto's room or if Rei is keeping him to sleep in their bedroom and only later Shouto will get his own room, through, same as when Touya and Fuyumi were small, it would make sense for Rei to keep him sleeping in their room as it would be the best way to check on him during the night.

CHILD SHOUTO'S ROOM

While not a lot is shown, we get a glimpse of child Shouto's bedroom. The manga only shows us the Futon, the anime shows us what we call a Shōji lamp pending on the ceiling.

"School Briefs 3" confirms that "The Todoroki family house had square, wooden fixtures that hung low from the ceiling. When it was time for bed, one needed only to tug the string dangling a few feet above one’s futon."

It's unclear which furniture the anime put near the bed.

TEENAGER SHOUTO'S ROOM

Sadly we never see it but "School briefs 3" though, due to dealing with Shouto moving to the school dormitory, let us known which furniture were at home in his room.

"The kids were allowed to use their bed, desk, and dresser set furnished by the school or to bring their own furniture, so Todoroki was now looking at the wadansu dresser, fuzukue desk, low zaisu chair, and futon straight from his room at home, as well as a cardboard box containing his clothes and other small necessities."

We'll see the furnitures Shouto brought from his home (I guess they're extra, as when Shouto goes back home his room isn't empty) in the manga and the anime when we're shown his dormitory room so let's look at it as a way to get an idea of how the furniture in Shouto's room are.

A wadansu (和タンス/和箪笥) dresser is a typical Japanese Tansu (箪笥) chest of drawers/cabinet, like the two we see at the right.

They come in plenty of shapes. The one of which we catch a glimpse in the right should also be a type of wadansu.

A Fuzukue (文机) desk is a low desk...

... Shouto can sit using a Zaisu (座椅子) chair, Japanese chairs with a back and no legs. We see though that the one SHouto uses is slightly taller than the ones that were in the Todoroki dining room.

We also see he has what we call Shōji lamps.

Inside they have a light bulb but this kind of lamps, as well as the square, wooden fixtures that hung low from the ceiling the Todoroki have...

...are based on the Andon (行灯), a paper-covered wooden stand housing an oil lamp. The paper was meant to protected the flame from the wind. Nowadays though, the oil lamps had been replaced with light bulbs but the name remained the same so that what for us is Shōji lamps, for Japanese people is still caleld Andon.

By the way, the ones that are meant to hung from the ceiling (and are large and flat) are called Hachiken Andon (八間行灯) or just Hachiken (八間), while the lamps Shouto has on the floor, which are the most common indoor type, are called Oki Andon (置行灯) and are mostly vertically box-shaped, with a stand for lighting a lamp (or, nowadays, hosting a light bulb) inside and, in the past, used to have a handle on the top for carrying. Some had drawers at the bottom.

Long story short, Shouto's furniture have a very distinct Japanese feeling.

"School briefs" seem to imply Shouto's room has a Shōji window, not a Shōji door...

"…Todoroki’s gaze settled on the window next, and he noticed the curtains provided by the school.

No Shōji window panels either…

Still feeling like something was off, he walked to the window and absentmindedly opened and shut the curtains. He was used to the curtains at school, but never in a room where he slept."

and

"Fine, fine. Your Futon's drying by the window in your room. Why don't you take it down and lay it out?"

TOUYA AND NATSUO'S ROOM

If Shouto's furniture has a distinct Japanese feeling, things change with Touya and Natsuo's room. But let's go with order.

They too have a Fusuma door...

...and Futon beds...

...but you can already notice that the lamp is of the western kind, not a Shōji one and the lampadary on the ceiling also seems a round western one.. (though it's really hard to see it well and I might be wrong).

Still, there's definitely a more western feeling in this room as again, the lamps on the desks are western ones and so are the desks and the chairs.

There's also a tansu in the background, but it's less similar to the traditional ones which Shouto has.

Considering the desks and the chairs should have been brought when at least Touya was old enough to speak up, it can be they reflect Touya's tastes, which might be less traditional Japanese furniture oriented.

As Fuyumi isn't shown sleeping in the room nor there's a third desk for her (the one next to Touya's is filled with toys that seems to belong to a boy), we can assume she got her own room while Natsuo was left to keep on sleeping with Touya. Hard to say if later, after Touya's death, that room became Natsuo's only or he moved to another room.

At the left, on the wall we don't see, we can speculate there's probably an Oshiire.

As said before in the anime on the opposite wall there's clearly a Shōji window, we can't be so sure in the manga as the Shōji seem to go lower but still there's a furniture placed there so... I don't know.

What we know is it shouldn't be the room to the Butsudan, as that room is meant to be one in which the family communicate with deceased family members and make offerings to them and, likely, existed prior to Touya's death in honour of Enji's deceased father (and, possibly, his mother), never mentioning the room has a Shōji door instead than a Fusuma one.

We also know that none of these rooms is the one in which Enji hit Rei after discovering Touya burned himself again as the furniture in that rooom match with the ones in the tv room.

WHAT ABOUT ENJI AND REI'S BEDROOM AND FUYUMI'S BEDROOM?

They aren't shown but they likely are still at the first floor, still washitsu with Fusuma doors and Shōji windows and they likely sleep in Futon.

Dabi crossover time :)

I think canon Dabi would get a kick out of sweet Fuyumi becoming a villain. Fuyumi on the other hand, is not pleased at all to find out her brother is a villain in any universe.

SYA Extended Notes Ch. 39-44

Or: Acceptance and healing - some thoughts on Shouto's post-war journey

Notes for "See You After" Chapter 44: August 2: Shouto's Journal - Unsent Letter

I can’t forget what happened but maybe someday I’ll be able to forgive you so that I can put all of it behind me and move on. I don’t know what that means for us or for our family, but I hope that someday I’ll be able to show you that I’m proud of who I’ve become in spite of everything you did.

I originally started typing this up to post with chapter 39 but decided to wait until after this chapter, and Shouto's unsent letter, to share my thoughts on how I imagine he and his family might begin to navigate the healing process.

In essence, I think that a post-war arc for Shouto involves him taking the time to process the things he went through and to decide for himself what he wants to do going forward.

This fic inevitably contains my personal headcanons of what Shouto's healing journey might involve after the war ends. Of course, there are as many interpretations of what "should" happen next as there are readers, but these are a few of my thoughts in relation to "See You After" so far.

Acceptance is the first step

I talked a bit about this in the extended notes for Chapters 10-11, but up until this point, I really don't think Shouto saw what Endeavor did to him as abuse. Even if he knew it on an intellectual level, he probably didn't want to accept it for various reasons. Although he did acknowledge that what his father did to his mom was abuse, when he expresses his anger toward his father, it's always framed around what he did to his mom (and later Touya).

BNHA 192: The Todoroki Family & 249: The Hellish Todoroki Family

One of those reasons probably has something to do with the way Touya revealed Endeavor's abuse of his family, specifically Shouto, very publicly and out of spite toward their father.

BNHA 291: Thanks for Going Strong

Shouto never had a say in the matter and Touya didn't do him any favors. Rather than viewing him with sympathy for being a victim, the public views him with suspicion because of his blood ties to a mass murderer and an abuser. Of course, that's not fair, but that's the cultural context of the society they're living in.

BNHA 325: The Bonds of One for All & BNHA 327: Rest

Guilt, Blame, and Responsibility

Shouto has been the one carrying the burden of his father's mistakes for his entire life, but even moreso since Touya reappeared. Unlike Touya, he blames his father completely, but I don't think Touya is entirely wrong when he says that Rei is guilty too. She's a victim, of course, and most of it was beyond her control, but she agreed to the marriage, knowing what it was. Moreover, it is a parent's responsibility to take care of their children, and she wasn't able to do that. Even though it wasn't her intention and Shouto refuses to blame her for hurting him, there's still a lot to unpack and a lot of trust that needs to be rebuilt.

BNHA 249: The Hellish Todoroki Family & BNHA 302: The wrong way to put out a fire, part 2

Natsuo and Fuyumi's guilt about not being able to do anything was realistic and understandable, but they were also children and it wasn't their responsibility to fix everything, which makes their experiences heartbreaking in a different way. There's a lot for all of them to reconcile on their own and as a family.

Rei showing up at the hospital and meeting Endeavor face to face again took a great deal of courage, and I don't think we can fault her for the things she says. Although it shouldn't be any of the children's responsibility, they do all have to deal with the fallout, which I think was the point she was trying to make here. But once again, the burden fell on Shouto to be their family's hero.

Shouto believes that he has to be strong because he's a hero. And while that's admirable, that mindset is part of the larger problem. So far in canon, we've mostly seen Shouto protecting his mom, not the other way around. And that's part of his character, his foundation as a hero - the way he had the instinct to protect when he was just a child, and his decision to take the first step after the sports festival to reach out and save her.

But it still kills me that their reunion scene in the hospital post PLF war was skipped over just so there could be a big reveal when the family went to confront Enji.

BNHA 298: Sounds of Collapse & BNHA 300: The Hellish Todoroki Family, Part 2

In this scene, Shouto had his hand on Rei's back to support her, meanwhile not once do we see him get a hug or any comforting touch from any of the people who should be there to support him. (A lot of Chapter 39 of "See You After" came from my desire for just that)

Identity and the choice to become a hero

BNHA 39: Todoroki Shouto: Origin

Shouto's fight with Izuku during the sports festival was the start of him reclaiming his identity as his own person, separate from his father, and reaffirming his desire to become a hero on his own terms. Still, the fact that he never really had the choice to try to be anything else is something to consider, especially as we see the rest of the world question the role of heroes and the overall system.

Names are important

BNHA 45: Time to pick some names (+anime ep. 26)

I really love the symbolism of Shouto's hero name. By using his real name, he's essentially refusing to separate his identity as a hero from who he is as a person, which is important because of how he makes a clear distinction between Endeavor (the hero) and Enji (the father). But something that's often lost in translation is Shouto's choice to use the phonetic spelling: ショート instead of the kanji characters: 焦凍 (meaning to burn and to freeze), which I've always interpreted as a statement of his desire to exist as an individual beyond the context of his quirks.

It was hard to convey in this fic because I'm obviously writing it in English, but I wanted to make it clear that he signed the unsent letter as ショート because of what it symbolizes.

I feel like Shouto would probably have a complicated relationship with his given name because Endeavor valued him solely for his quirk. Meanwhile, "Todoroki" is a constant reminder of his family's legacy in the aftermath of Touya's broadcast.

I like to think that even before their conversation during the long phone call at the end of chapter 39, Katsuki understood this on some level. That's why in this fic, even though he rotates through a variety of nicknames (in their earlier letters, he uses a different one each time), he rarely calls Shouto by his last name, unless he's trying to make a point (like in his letter in Chapter 11 and the phone call in Chapter 19).

That's something I leaned into when I started writing the transition to them using each others' given names back during their text conversation in Chapter 36. (Originally, I thought it was going to happen quite a bit later in the story, but writing is a funny thing and characters sometimes have minds of their own.)
