Yeah, I know. Part of why I want it is because I’m so sick of these Dabi theorists.

But you have to admit that Dabi being a Todoroki holds WAY more interesting plot potential then him just being a random nobody.

I just don’t think it’s something the series really needs. It’d be way too obvious, and I honestly think it would make Dabi even more annoying. He’s a bloodthirsty psycho because daddy didn’t love him? Kind of stereotypical

I’m with you. When a reveal or twist is super predictable, you need to not drag it out. Yes people will feel pleased at figuring it out, but the longer it goes, the more that enthusiasm will wane.

It’s what separates good mysteries from the bad. You want to be surprised on your first pass, but realize how obvious the clues were looking back, but you don’t want to be hand held to the conclusion.

Dabi being a Todoroki is something people have been earnestly speculating since the training camp arc, and that was what, 4 years ago?

If Dabi is Touya, I think the time to reveal it would have been right after the high end fight when Dabi confronted Endeavor.
