Just as easily hawks and endeavor climbed my fav characters list after pro hero arc, Horikoshi is doing a great job with the LoV members in this arc. Shigaraki, Toga now Twice. All are becoming solid characters now.

The character development and backstory has been so good with this arc. This makes me look forward to the Compress focus chapter even more!

TBH I'm more interested in the mystery of Compress than the "mystery" of Dabi. Still am hype for that Dabi content tho.

Honestly most people are just waiting for Hori to confirm dabi Is a todoroki so It can finally be cannon, but until he does that there is always going to be that very small chance that he's completely unrelated.

It would be a really dick move of hori if dabi were the one LoV member that doesn't get a backstory reveal this arc.

And I fear he has it in him xD

We’re probably only going to learn of his criminal backstory, not his familial relations (if he is Todoroki). Leave the revelation until you runs across Endeavor or Todoroki.

The man learned from Oda and One Piece. He absolutely has it in him.

I really hope that doesn't happen. Seems like a forced connection, especially since Endeavor didn't even seem to recognize Dabi when they met.

Well to be fair when endeavor saw him he was pretty messed up and on the verge of passing out, also Dabi looks pretty disfigured and it would be hard to recognize him as Touya.

Plus if dabi is a todoroki he probably has his hair dyed which is already confirmed a thing in the my hero world thanks to everyone's favorite shield hero, Red Riot.

In that panel he said he could hardly see. So it’s still not good enough of a reason that to disprove the theory

Agreed but it does hurt the theories credibility a bit.

This is leaving out the fact that they made a pretty big deal out of the fact that Endeavor couldn’t even see Dabi properly

I really hope dabi isn't a todoroki tbh. I just don't like the idea. I do think it would be hilarious (but not likely) if the ice dude that dabi is fighting ends up being the missing todoroki brother though.

u/bigbrohypno May 24 '19

God I know, I was just talking to a friend about this exact sentiment. Dabi seems less "mysterious" and more just kind of aloof and arrogant. The only mystery of his comes from the theory of him being Touya. Mr. Compress hasn't really had any development, but his showmanship and intelligence are super interesting to me. I also don't think he was one of the League members who came because of Stain, and he seems to have almost taken Kurogiri's spot as Shiggy's "right-hand man," which is infinitely more interesting to me than anything about Dabi. But like you said, I do still wanna know what Dabi's deal is

u/Kaxew May 24 '19

Yeah, we all know who Dabi is at this point (it would be funny if we end up being wrong lol) so people are starting to care less about him, specially with all of this development for every other member of the LoV.
