TW: mainly for mention of domestic abuse
also Spoiler warning for the newest MHA episode
I just love how complex the Todoroki family is. Enji stopped training Touya because he cared about him and didn’t want to see him hurt, but he completely failed to show him that he actually cared and instead just made him feel like a broken toy that’s been replaced. Touya specifically says Enji lit the fire under him to wanna become a hero, which he is now trying to stop, but at the same time he learns nothing from this and does the same with Shoto.
Touya seems to react especially harshly to women because he thinks they cannot relate to his feelings about wanting to be a hero. Indeed Rei and Fuyumi both don’t have such ambitions, but neither does Natsuo which suprises Touya but his reaction is more shock than anger. I wonder if this is just him projecting from seeing his parents, believing that men are ambitious and women are not, or if it is more of a cultural bias/sexism, though I am leaning towards the first because he doesn’t seem to socialize much with people outside his family.
It is also interesting how despite having similar upbringings, Shoto and Touya seem to develop in opposite directions. Touya is very angry towards his mother but does hold admiration for his dad and wants his approval, and wants to train to become a hero. He interacts with his siblings but doesn’t seem to care much for it. Shoto doesn’t show much interest in training amd would rather play with his siblings, develops a much more protective feeling about his mother (which continues even after she burns him) and wants to reject his dad entirely.
I would guess this comes from the way in which they were first trained. When Touya was born Enji was not that desperate yet and actually seemed to train him with praise and affection, showing him love to an extent, which lead to Touya associating very positive feelings with training and being a hero, only turning cruel once he feared that it would be taken away. With Shoto on the other hand Enji was getting desperate, he kept him separated from the others (partially to protect shoto, but I think here it was more to protect his perfect hero than out of actual care) and forced him to train. He was seemingly always angry and expectations were high so nothing Shoto did was ever good enough, leading him to associate very negative feelings with both training and his father. When he then saw his mother suffer under him too he felt the need to protect her.
I wanna write something about Rei too but I find it difficult to place her right now - the two strongest symbolisms for her in the episode are definitely the eyes and the flowers - the flowers could mean that at some point there was something like actual love between her and Enji, but tbh I find that unlikely from what we‘ve seen. I tink it‘s more that she tried to find it in herself to love their family and make it work (like she said try to keep smiling despite circumstances). also it seems the eyes she saw on shoto reminded her not just of endeavor but of touya too, so was she - in her delirious state when she burned him - somehow trying to stop shoto from turning out like touya too? in general how did her mental state develop? it’s my interpretation that when we saw Enji hit her in the episode it was the first time he got physically violent this way, and while I don’t think it happened very often, I also don’t think it was the last time - and I assume it was a breaking point for both of them (his “angry face“ or as Rei calls it “his eyes“ keep getting worse and worse as the episode goes along and I think in this scene it’s at its worst so it would make sense that we are seeing the first time this face ever appeared, the first time it has gotten this bad, so that’s why I think it’s the first physical abuse)
(also random side note but I found it weird how quirk marriages were presented as something very bad but arranged marriages were apparently fine, and I‘m very sure this is a cultural thing but still - the irony when it’s basically the same thing)
Fuyumi and Natsuo get the least attention in this episode so there is little to comment on them. I am curious how Natsuo turned to be so resentful of his father while Fuyumi didn’t. We both see them in roughly the same positions, watching as Touya attacks Shoto, hiding from Enji as he beats Rei, playing with Touya. The only difference is how Touya interacts with them individually but I doubt this will be the deciding factor in their personalities so I will leave this up to ”we‘ll hopefully find out later“. Perhaps it is due to Fuyumi being born earlier, so she still remembers a time when Enji was not so cruel to them and thinks they can go “back“ to being a happy family, while I think Natsuo said at some point that Enji was like a stranger to him so it makes sense he wouldn’t care to get something back that he never had.
As Rei calls out, Enji has a tendency to run from his parental duties. He says about raising Touya that he could only show him the world of a hero, so when he decides Touya cannot be one, he basically stops trying to raise him and pushes it onto Rei (The same may be true for his other children but it’s unclear). I would guess here that he has started to realize the impact he has had on Touya turning out the way he had so far, but he doesn’t trust himself to do better and basically feels unfit to be an actual parent, so he thinks the best way is to remove himself enitrely. He confirms this again in the hospital in the present, saying the reason he didn’t go to see Touya show him his new move is because he wouldn’t have known what to say, so he did nothing. This leads me to think, in a situation where Enji is truly challenged (or at least emotionally) his fear reaction is neither fight nor flight, it is actually freeze (ironic tbh). We see this trend continue in recent episodes, when Natsuo is in danger he freezes, when Dabi reveals himself he freezes, both times other people need to step in to do his job, and luckily they could. In the past when he expected Rei to step in and do his job, she couldn’t (and partially because Touya had already been molded to resent her). Enji felt trapped by his own feelings of inadequacy and Rei‘s powerlessness so he let his anger out on her.
Short version: In parenting, Enji knows how to light the fire of ambition under his children but he can’t put it out and expects Rei to step in and do it, but she can’t. Just wanted to point this out again to put it in relation to their quirks, because I fully think it was intended that the fire quirk person is the one who lights the fire and the ice quirk person is expected to put it out - and how this doesn’t work is also reflected in the name of the episode ”the wrong way to put out a fire“
Anyway this post was not meant to follow any real structure (and it didn’t) but now it developed to where I wanna put some sort of conclusion. Drawing again from the title of the episode, it is implied that there was a right way to put out the fire, but that the wrong one was chosen. The wrong way was Enji running from his mistakes and pushing them onto Rei when it was already out of her control, the right way would be him finally breaking out of his frozen fear state and accepting the responsibility of being an actual father. So as nice of a gesture it is that everyone gathered around his bed to tell him they‘ll help, ultimately the job has to be his. That being said I have no idea how this story will end. I‘m not one to call anybody irredeemable, but I do not see how Touya could have anything close to a realistic redemption arc with the state of mind he is in, however it doesn’t seem right to just kill or lock him up forever either. It’s in your hands Hori.

Spoilers for the latest episodes of MHA s6
I love Shoto. Shoto is my boy. My child. He was my favorite when I watched this anime for the first time. I want only the best for this kid. I hope he grows into a great pro one day. but can I just say I fucking HATE that Rei called him the hero of the family? That statement irked me on so many levels. First of all, may I remind everyone that he is a CHILD. He’s literally 16 years old at most. His family, his brother is not his responsibility. He’s a victim to this situation so he should not be expected or even asked to pick up the pieces of this family. Dabi has beef with Endeavor. This is not Shoto’s problem. Sure, calling him “the hero of the family” in of itself is praise, but it’s also a burden and a responsibility that he does not need.
secondly, this is so invalidating to the efforts and struggles of his other siblings. Shoto may be one of the more visibly “successful” but he is by no means the hero of the family. he’s tried his best to grow, move on, but so have Natsuo and Fuyumi. They all have. But HES the hero? That’s so unfair. Fuyumi needs more credit! She’s tried to keep the family together, even if it’s only in appearance, she tried. And when Natsuo lost his direction in life because of Touya’s death, she told him (her exact words) “leave our family circumstances to me and go do what you want to pursue”. Even when they were kids she was shown worrying over both her brothers. Natsuo supported Touya with everything he had up until he lost him, and has tried his best to cope and move forward since. He even wants to reconcile with Shoto.
Shoto is not the family hero and Horikoshi is so wrong for this
