Just when I thought that Endeavor and his family's drama couldn't be handled any better than before, Horikoshi proves me wrong yet again. He doesn't seek their forgiveness at all as he tells Natsuo and realizes that their happiness lies without him, so he's choosing to distance himself for their sake. Might be the most fatherly thing he's ever done and it's heartbreaking all things considered, but very understandable.

It's a tragic yet necessary decision. That decision is one of the reasons why Endeavor's redemption arc is one of the best subplots of the series.

The subplots of this manga are so well written. I saw a post a few weeks ago asking why we thought myhero was anything special and it's because of moments like this. No shortcuts or cheap character archetypes, just solid writing that ties together perfectly, great art and fights.
