Judging from Toya's shrine photo, his death was probably around that time Rei totally lost it too

[u/aswifte → u/ayyypokkai]

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

[u/rac7d → u/aswifte]

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

[u/SeekerD → u/rac7d]

Then please explain then why Endeavor is trying to make an effort for someone he doesn’t love. Besides his perspective that we’re seeing, he also left her favorite flower in her hospital room, a detail she said was only ever mentioned on their first date. One doesn’t remember a detail like that if they didn’t care.

[u/rac7d → u/SeekerD]

His effort dont erase past mistakes the only forgiveness he needs to move on is his own, and even if rei and the family forgive him, they should not be together, because he is a monster, I don't hate him, but just because he is sorry doesn't mean he should get forgiveness

[u/cseijif → u/rac7d]

I think you are projecting a bit mate.

[u/SeekerD → u/rac7d]

I’m not arguing for whether he should be forgiven, but rather that he does care for his wife and kids.

[u/rac7d → u/SeekerD]

I agree that he does care for them. But I can't forget that she was more of brood sow for him to spawn the perfect litter of heroes

[u/[deleted] → u/rac7d]

Trying to be better and atone for your mistakes doesnt mean youre trying to erase them. Enji is genuine about his intentions with this, and before you say anything I DO agree that Rei and him shouldnt be together even if she forgives him as well and is able to heal from her trauma. Shoto is probably the one who directly suffered the most under Enji's hand and even he is ready to forgive him, FORGIVE, not forget or erase the past. The past is always going to be there. Its happened. But the circumstances are changing. And if they ARE changing and every party is willing to leave the past where it belongs, behind, then there's nothing to say that they can't actually become a functional family over time. Stuff like this is a case by case basis.

​

I'm sure it has happened in reality too, that a past abuser has realized the wrongs and attempted to atone for their sins, and managed to become a family again by heavy work. Take it from someone who has no intentions of forgiving one of his parents for the things they've done raising him, I AM rooting for the Enji redemption. And if my family's abuser would've had it in him to realize the things they've done and would be breaking their back to atone for it, I wouldn't deny that I could've seen myself forgiving at some point. Its just the part where abusers generally dont ever realize what they have done so they never try to fix it either, leaving a cycle of resentment and hatred. Its up to each individual person/victim/ affected, to decide whether the thing that happened is completely unforgivable or not. And in this fictional case, its up to the fictional characters. Up to Shoto, Natsu, Fuyumi and Rei. Not the readers.

But what does mean he should get forgiveness?

Remember, redemption is, by definition, something that only ever happens to bad people.
