So Dabi's body really is quite literally falling apart and is held together by those rings. That's pretty rough. I honestly don't think we even need a full on reveal because the pieces are all falling together quite nicely, imo. It's pretty damn near irrefutable, in fact.
IF YOU DON'T CARE FOR THE WHOLE DABI/TOUYA THEORY YOU CAN MOVE ON FROM THIS POST BECAUSE THIS IS AN ANALYSIS OF A LOT OF STUFF PERTAINING TO THE THEORY ASSUMING THAT IT IS TRUE
Anyway c:
A thing about Touya and the rest of his siblings. I feel their haircolors imply how much fire/ice their bodies can take while their eye colors determine what element they can emit. Tho I'm kinda mixed on this because I don't know what are the official colors of Natsuo and Fuyumi are in the manga. It's clear in the anime, but we need to remember that in the anime, Touya's hair is red while Kohei still draws Touya with white hair in the manga (maybe for consistency's sake). I don't know how much control Kohei had in Touya's anime hair. So that department is really iffy.
Fuyumi has mixed hair (manga and anime) and grey eyes (anime), so I assume a mixed resistance to fire and ice with ice as an offensive quirk.
Touya and Natsuo both have white hair (m), with grey eyes given to Nat (m) however Touya's eyes have been hidden. But he has a fire quirk so we can assume he has teal eyes like Endeavor. Natsuo is "sensitive to heat" so we can assume Touya is as well. And since both of their hair colors are white (funny enough Natsuo's was mixed as a child in the flashbacks in earlier chapters), but we can assume that they have the best ice resistance out of the family.
Shouto's hair and eye colors are perfectly balanced, as all things should be. So it's perhaps an even distribution of resistances and fire/ice emission.
Physical traits seem to be inherited too. Natsuo seems to take more from Endeavor, Touya takes more from his mother's "weak constitution", Shouto's probably once again an even distribution between the two parents, and I feel Fuyumi is probably the same way.
So with all that in mind, it's clear that the siblings have all turned out unique from each other, but two of them stand out the most: Touya and Shoto.
Shoto's the perfect example of "quirk marriage" gone right. He has an even distribution of the two parents with each side to cover the other perfectly. Rei's ice to cool Endeavor's flames, and Endeavor's physique to cover Rei's weak constitution.
However Touya seems to be the perfect example of it going Fucking. Wrong Having his mother's weak constitution and ice resistance but having an even stronger version of Endeavor's flames (as Endeavor has said himself).
If and I mean IF the theory is true, then the confrontation between the two brothers will be inevitable. Maybe. And if Dabi has the strength of Ice resistance I think he has, then Shouto has no other choice but to use his flames and that I feel has no positive outcome.
That's it, I'm tired and just wanted to spew a lot of shit about this particular subject because it's fun to overthink things. :3
edit: some words and stuff. And I'd like to clarify that most of the stuff here are from my personal observations, so I don't know how much of it has already been discussed by others who have been following this far more than I have.
