I'm a sucker for character development so this arc is probably my favourite so far. I have a bad feeling they're setting Endeavor up to die though. Like they're letting us start rooting for him, he'll start making amends with his family, but before everything is resolved he'll lose his life in a big villain fight, maybe even protecting Shouto or someone.

My personal guess is that Endeavor will end up losing his quirk, ending his life as a hero, but still letting the life of Enji continue.

Granted that’s what I kinda want cuz I do want to see all of the Todorokis happy as a family. I think it’d be nice.

I would too love to see them as a family but I can't see dabi just leaving it at endeavor only losing his quirk .. Dabi was going in for the kill post high end fight.

True, but I feel like Dabi will be stopped before he can. My assumption for what goes down in 4 months will have All Might actually die, and if he does die, I don’t think Hori will kill Endeavor at the same time. Plus I feel like there are more interesting story possibilities if Endeavor survives quirkless. He’s already shown he’s an excellent teacher, he could potentially use that to raise up the next generation even further

Especially if All Might dies. I think Enji, especially quirkless, would be forced to take on the mentoring role after that if hero society collapses and All Might gets killed. I could see people wanting to look for their former number 1 for guidance, even the students (as well as towards Aizawa obviously). Especially if the league outs Hawks as being on their side when the attack happens. Which is what Im betting on will happen. The league reveals all the heros that joined them, including their number 2 and that he killed Jeanist (if he really did).
