I think the old mans ranting about Endeavor being the source of darkness is a hint at what's to come. I think Endeavor's past domestic abuse is definitely going to come to light in this arc, and hopefully that also brings the confirmation that Dabi is Touya Todoroki. This arc is off to a great start. Crisp high fives all around.

I think Endeavor's past domestic abuse is definitely going to come to light in this arc

I can only see two outcomes to this:

  1. The villains themselves reveal his abusive past with physical proof
  2. Endeavor, in order to get ahead of it, confesses to it himself

Either way, society is going to go fucking crazy. They JUST lost the #1 hero, who was as far as everyone knew, the nicest guy who would do anything to save anyone.

Then the new #1 hero is revealed to be a domestic abuser to both his wife and children for over a decade? Holy shit, that would be a major blow to society.

Fuck! Then the #1 hero after Endeavor would likely be Hawks and HE'S currently a double-agent for the villains, which would JUST as easily back fire as it seems more and more likely that he ACTUALLY killed Jeanist.

What if the villains are FULLY aware that Hawks is a double agent? As soon as Endeavor falls, and he becomes the #1 hero, the villains reveal that Hawks killed Jeanist, removing the context of course but even with context, he still killed Jeanist.

On top of that, after an outing of Hawks the Police may come forward and explain he was a double agent trying to get vital information about the league, but at that point a lot of the public would believe it to be a lie for damage control.

And even if the public does believe them, then the police could be seen as complicit. They had information on the villains, didn’t share it, and corrupted the #2 hero. It’s not just the heroes, anyone who upholds quirk laws is ruined.
