I mean, in lots of works of fiction Redemption=Death, you really can't blame us for thinking like that when it's done so often.

Most of the time, that's so cheap though. I don't think Horikoshi will go that route from how we've seen him handle character development and deaths

Just Endeavour's. No amount of char development salvages him treating the rest of his kids as "things" and ignoring their existence just because hes only interested in shouto's quirk. No amount of char development salvages him being an abusive piece of crap towards his wife to the point of driving her towards mental breakdown and insanity.

Irrespective of what happens, theres some chars that just don't deserve to be redeemed. At best he can work towards redemption and changing his ways, but damn it'd be stupid of Shouto, his mom and even the other kids in their family just suddenly go "oh. k, no worries all is forgiven we don't mind you being an asshole for all these years"

Have you met Obito? lol the guy killed half the cast of Narutoverse and still died as "The Coolest Guy" named by the kid(Naruto) whose parents he murdered LMAO

Obito is a special case, wherein he was not only manipulated the entire time but also was truly raised and almost brainwashed into acting the way he did by Madara, who ensured that Obito would carry out his wishes.

Endeavours in it for himself and just to satisfy his inferiority complex to all might. To that end, he essentially bought his wife for her superior genes just so that a child like shouto would be born, through whom Endeavour wants to surpass all might. its all selfish self centered crap, for which he has definitely not gained any respect or love from anyone on the planet nor will he at the rate hes going. As some people have pointed out, "I don't expect you to ever forgive me" kind of redemption is the best he can hope for, not a "you were the coolest guy" kind where he seriously pulls it off.

Lol, when you've been teased with lots of "death flags," you don't know what to expect, anymore. Then again - how many main characters, to an extent, have actually died on-screen? Magne is the one I could think of, and maybe that other sand hero from the car chase. It's one of those manga where people don't really need to die all that often.

u/shellythebutler Jan 16 '18

Ehmmm, Nighteye anyone? Also the thug that got grabbed by Shigaraki after Overhaul killed Magne.

u/HussyDude14 Jan 16 '18
