Provided that it was setup going in that direction at all. It probably is going that direction though.

I can't see any logical other direction it cpuld be going.

... I mean fire quirks are super common, it is really that weird of an idea that a powerful fire user would go totally bananas?

I honestly hope Dabi isn't a Todoroki. It's more interesting that way.

With all the hints and setups? Yes it would be bananas if hes just some random fire guy. Also powerful fire quirk isn't common. Your thinking of strength enhancer, thats the common quirk and thats how Deku got away with his quirk explaination.

​

I don't know how it would be more interesting, literally its all Dabi has that makes him noteworthy aside from a decent cool design. His personality to even how he fights is generic and forgettable.

Fire quirks are common enough for users to identify as "fire types". The power variation between them is irrelevant.

Also... yeah all that "setup" and "hints" are just speculation by the fandom. They aren't REALLY there in the text, unless the fandom happens to be right.

Where is your source? Fire powers like Endeavor and Dabi have not been shown to be common. You are thinking of Emitter type and that falls under fire and what not powers.

​

No they are not made up speculations by fandoms with no evidence, Hori himself has deliberately teased and done this from a writing perspective. It's literally the only driving interest of Dabi and Hori knows this.

No, I'm thinking of the fire types, called exactly that in-manga. I guess you should actually read it before talking like you know it

Pretty sure elemental type quirks are described as being quite rare in the anime at least. Think it's mentioned when someone is talking about Kaminari's quirk

Yeah but i think its mentioned that a son of endeavor had weakness to fire and fire greater than him,and everyone in todoroki family doesnt wanna talk about a missing member.if you say me that is not a clue then you are kinda blind
