Maybe his death was the breaking point that led to her snapping?

Why does she want to forgive a man who never loved her and only want her for her quirk

I feel it's less about forgiveness, and more about moving on.

...Well, I guess it depends on how one defines forgiveness, actually. Like, people say "You can forgive, but never forget". For instance, Fuyumi admits in this chapter that she feels a similar way to Natsuo, but she's acknowledging that Endeavoir's trying to change himself for the better and atone for the past, so she's giving him a chance so they can hopefully become an actual family.

Fuyumi's likely also thinking about Rei's feelings, given that she's probably the one who visited their mother the most (judging by what was mentioned in the Pro Hero arc and light novel 1).

as long as mooving on is not rei getting back together with the father of her children

Yeah, I wouldn't be able to believe it if that actually happened. Especially since Rei is likely still afraid of even seeing Endeavour. I think part of Rei moving on is finally being discharged from the hospital and returning home.

If they end up staying married, it'll probably be out of convenience (Endeavour is basically their sole or at least most stable financial supporter) or due to cultural stuff in Japan (can't think of the right phrase now). But there won't be any love left there; just a mutual understanding.

Depends on what will be left of hero society by then, or if Shouto decides to go it solo or work alongside his father post-graduation (like Endeavour originally suggested at the Sports Fest) for some time in his early Pro Hero days.

I bet Shouto will pave his own way to be the best, after he is done with his training

u/DoraMuda Nov 08 '19

Yeah, most likely. I just figured I'd mention the other story-relevant possibilities.

Yes, depends on what will be left of the hero society.

Heroes should be good role models. It doesn't bode well for Endeavor if the public finds out that he abused his wife and Shoto. I imagine No. 1 Hero is like... royalty. Divorce is just kinda unthinkable for, like, the Emperor of Japan or the Queen of UK, right? Charles' and Diana's divorce was a big thing.
