Shouto unintentionally finding a way to piss Touya off the most

#Tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter 😔 #Shouto #Dabi #Todoroki

[todomitoukei]

this is how touya-nii would've reacted, if he had heard shouto

[todomitoukei]

what do you think the line how sad shoto todoroki meant anything

To Touya, there is an unspoken competition between the two - the masterpiece and the failure. Unspoken because one, Shouto never cared about being the masterpiece or getting their father's attention, two they didn't interact with each other before this, and three because Shouto at that point doesn't even know Touya is alive.

The whole point of Dabi's existence is his desire for his dad's attention, something he knows will only happen if he becomes the masterpiece; in other words beats Shouto, which leads to his original plan of wanting to kill Shouto since that would mean the spot for masterpiece was open again, while simultaneously proving that Touya wasn't a failure, as a true masterpiece shouldn't be able to be defeated (especially not by a failure).

The summer camp is essentially the first round of this unspoken competition - both of them racing to the marble. Touya is, even if only by a split second, faster and thus wins this first round.

"How sad" because Touya winning has two meanings. One, he was right in that he can go up against Shouto, and two, the masterpiece lost against the failure - again, a true masterpiece shouldn't fail against the failure.

All that is to say that Touya getting the marble proved to him that he stands a chance in succeeding with his original plan (killing Shouto) and he's suggesting this win means that Shouto isn't enough of a masterpiece to win.

Bottom line, and this is the real answer: in true sibling fashion, Touya was told he can't physically harm his sibling, so he insults him instead by hitting him with a "suck it, loser!" instead.

watcher announcing they're leaving youtube to start their own subscription based streaming service and indirectly calling their audience poor in the process, followed by netflix sending me an email saying that they're raising their prices... anyway

Tomura and Dabi both telling Toga she doesn't have to get a villain name if she doesn't want one hits even harder when you finally remember the circumstances of their own villain names.

Tomura got assigned a villain name because he was turned into a villain against his will. He didn't get to choose his identity, he didn't get to choose his destiny. Someone else came to him and then changed him until he couldn't recognize himself in the mirror anymore.

Dabi was rejected by his father over and over and over again. It's not like he wanted to deny who he was, in fact, he wanted to use it as a weapon and that's why he got a villain name. Dabi is more like the manifestation of all his trauma and grief. Dabi is a reminder, a scar and a story to tell.

See their arguments against the villain naming yourselves and get some free analysis about it:

From right to left*

Dabi:

(Villain names are) stupid. That's just some crowd-pleasing crap. A holdover from before the quirk registration system.

Dabi is the first to mention the origins of the hero and villain naming convections. Before there was order in their society, people needed names to identify their powers.

He's also aware that taking a villain name is done to both appeal to the public and oneself. See how Mr. Compress mentions that a villain name gives you class, or how Twice and Spinner seem to get it as a matter of being cool.

Touya himself knew he picked the name Dabi for the show. He's not particularly attached to it and he doesn't even defend his name when Compress decides to criticize it. Being Dabi is just a tactic.

Tomura:

There basically used to be no differences between heroes and villains. One story says... The alias stuff started when you'd have an anonymous enemy and you needed to call them something. From there, some decided to adopt those very nicknames to hide their identities.

Assuming another identity —like a new skin— was a matter of survival.

At some point, they went all-in with code names, ripped straight from comic books. According to this theory, it all started with people announcing themselves by those aliases, that's why the world's turned into a comic book.

Anyway, I'm good. (The names can be cool and all, but eh).

The rest assumes that Tomura has always been Tomura Shigaraki (even after hearing during MVA his confession about his past). In truth, you see he doesn't want a villain name. Like Toga, he rejected the idea when it was suggested.

Mr. Comic Book Fan #1 (AFO) was the one who gave Tomura his name and we all know what he did with those words. Similar to Touya's intention with the name Dabi, AFO hid Tenko Shimura so he could later use his identity as a weapon against All Might.

It was a matter of survival for Touya and Tenko alike. No one could know they were a Todoroki and a Shimura. That new identity prevented little Tenko from being found and allowed Touya the freedom to plot his revenge.

It's very important to me that they are the ones who tell Toga she doesn't need a villain name. She is good as she is, she must be able to live as she is too. Somehow, they protect her in her choice of not picking a skin to hide behind.

Your tags on this post killed me, man... The anime also gave us that scene of Enji watching footage of All Might, alone, in his room, while in the dark. It's just embarrassing 😭

Oh nooo, please return from the dead, we're about to get beautifully animated Touya!!!!

LOL, when you put it that way... there is something tempting about collecting all the scenes from the manga of Endvr and All Might and edit it together to make it seem like it's their love story. But alas, I detest having to see that man's face, so I shan't.

It feels like something Touya at some point in the future (after being saved and all) might say as a joke and Shouto would consider it for a second and take it as fact. "You know, now that you mention it, he sure tried hard to get his attention. If that's how much you have to do for love, I'm gonna stick to soba."

WAKE UP BABIES!!!!!! WE GOT NEW DABI VISUALS TO OBSESS OVER 🛐

[todomitoukei]

there's just something so deep about touya holding hands with the statue of all might, the rival of his father, the indirect reason touya exists in the first place, a sort of secondary father if you will that, despite having spend even less time with touya as a result of never having met him, gets to be used as a strip pole dance partner, when the his other father did not accept his previous dance invitation

#i will never not imply that endvr is gay for all might because it is simply a fact he had 4 kids for this man so i said what i said #theres no interpretation here i just find him funny #dabi #touya #s7 #bnha #mine #funny
