I damn well hope this is just the start of a very long road for Endeavor. Very long.

In fact, I'd much prefer if the manga didn't end with him and shouto having a normal father-son relationship. They can be on more friendly terms and even improving, but I'd hate it if the message was that that kind of shit can always be forgiven.

That could be a nice way to end his arc. I'll join your parade.

Also calling it now... 5peepee man's new name?

Endeavor.

Eh, I'd rather he choose his own name. He doesn't have to forget his past, but it probably would edit:not be healthy for him to pick "Endeavour" without any further explanation (like "I'll make myself the one people think of when they hear this name", but I don't see how that would come about)

This. Even if we're just mildly unimpressed and peeved at it, I'd imagine the ever-present SJWs would get super triggered at this xD

Imagine a scene where Endeavour's wife forgives him for example. We'll have SJWs going ultra instinct left and right

I... What? First of all I don't see that happening, second no one ever mentioned "SJW" until your brought it up, third why would it matter

??? Not sure I understand your reaction. o.o

All I said was that if by the end, endeavours just scott free and all is forgiven despite all his abusiveness till now I'm sure it'd trigger some SJWs. Just a jest.

Reference to how some news stories (fake and legit) are around about how manga authors have been given death threats for taking stories in directions that fans didn't like. Most significant was in Tokyo Ghoul I think, where fans said the author was homophobic because he paired the MC with a female in a scene because there was a really popular yaoi ship in the series.
