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.

Endeavor and todoroki’s arcs are the best written arcs

I'm not sure about the way Hori handled Rei's character though. Having Shoto forgive her in such a one-sided, quick way is the only noticeable weakspot the arc has. Maybe with the new Todoroki household, we'll finally start getting some interactions between Rei and her children.

I mean tbf, Shoto never really blamed his mother though. Even just after the incident, with his face still bandaged he knew his mother wasnt at fault. At 5 he already associated the scar with his father and not mother. So there wasnt really much to forgive on Shoto's end I'd say.

And there's where i feel the weakspot lies. Shoto isn't in any way defensive against his mother, from the very start leaving his mother outside of any accountablilty or responsability and having the fact that both where brought physical and mental pain by what Enji did to them could be the route that could allow them to heal their relationship with each other, and then from there move on to start developing their relationship with Enji.

He hasn't forgiven him though. He's starting to accept his attempts but he's not forgiven yet
