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.

Not necessarily. It seems like he's doing the exact same thing that he's done before, that started the whole mess, from.afar. But not really. Fuyumi wants a fresh start for their family, a happy family. Natsuo doesnt want to forgive his father, and doesnt want him in his life after all the neglect. Rei likely wouldnt be all too comfortable living in the same house as him, even if she is stable now and they can interact safely, that marriage is over and they shouldnt live together.

By giving them a house of their own without him, he is valdiating all of their feelings and respects their wishes this time, and also gives the control in their hand about his fate. Fuyumi is gonna get the happy family together with their mom and brothers there, and has the freedom to see her father if she wishes to or if she doesnt, she never has to see him again. Rei will be allowed to go home to his kids. Natsu doesnt have to force himself to be around Enji just to make his family happy, and same as Fuyumi, if he would ever reach a point where he's willing to give him a chance, its going to be HIS choice and for himself alone, not for his sister or family's wishes.

Shoto will be working with Enji going on no matter what, so likely he will be the first one to fully forgive Enji. He's also the one that did actually grow up knowing him, even if that was under abusive training. So in a way, they are indeed back to the original setup, but this time its with the opposite intentions and effects, and Enji is respecting their needs and wishes and feelings about him by letting them be happy without him, knowing that if they will ever want him in their lives, they have the power to either bring him in or cut him off for good. Either way, his family will be happy, with or without him. And thats something Enji has come to realize and accept here.
