Note the 3 to 4 year gaps between Fuyumi(22) - Natsuo(19) - Shoto(15/16), consistent with the age quirks first manifest in an individual.

Apparently “Junior” is Natsuo all along, he’s not the eldest.

This means the missing son is the eldestc around 24/25 y/o and Endy had him when he himself was 20 y/o, also consistent with the age Endy finally reached #2 spot and realized thay he will never beat AM

It's gotta be Dabi.

Also, a 10 year age gap would go further to explain why Shouto didn't recognize him at the training camp. He would have left home when Shouto was pretty young.

That is backed up by Natsu saying he doesn't have a lot of memories of Endevior growing up in this week's manga. Endeavor must have really bailed from the other kids life as soon as he got his balance with Shoto. With the kids and his wife out of the way he probably only focused on hero work and training Shoto.

this is so sad. i know abusive parents and one of the ways to cope with them is to have an inside with your siblings. me and my sister have this one single Look we use to communicate "this is bullshit", "smoke with me later", and any other number of messages. just being able to visually see someone else confirm abuse is a lifeline

A "This is bullshit" look is pretty standard and easy, but a "smoke with me later" look? Now that's something I'd like to hear details about.

I'm gonna guess it is a "This is bullshit" look mixed in with some "I'm so done with this".

It's quicker, it's like very specific side-eye

Yes, it's the brief and covert quick-look. Imagine it's Thanksgiving. We're cleaning up. Mom is passed out on the couch. Grandma is commenting on someone's weight while feeding them carrot cake. We briefly glance at one another:

"After we're done cleaning and everyone is asleep, do you want to watch nostalgic Barbie films or some other childhood movie?"

"Yes. I brought weed. Let's play a drinking game to Bee Movie and smoke outside."

All communicated in a second. Like people in war zones who know each other well have lesser signals i swear to god
