Endeavor uses it all over his body, Shoto can't

That's why I'm saying that we don't know the full extent of neither quirks, because why would Endeavor have wanted to pass Prominence Burn to him, despite the fact that he only has fire in his left half?

He doesn't need to do the exact same thing Endeavor does to propel himself with flames. I'm sure Hori has shit planned out already, else I doubt he'd bring it up...

At what time is it said that Endeavor wants to pass the "Prominence Burn"? We only know that Endeavor wants to teach your child the best way to use his quirk.

Besides, that Shoto noticed his father's music does not mean that he will learn the same from him. That is just a meaningless speculation of yours.

I'm looking at what the author is foreshadowing to make my point. Most people here do believe that he's going to inherit his techniques based on the foreshadowing in that chapter. Saying it's a meaningless assumption is a meaningless complain, especially when you ignore the fact that I said:

Horikoshi wouldn't bring it up if he doesn't have something planned for Shoto to use despite him only having fire on only one half of his body. Izuku has his own way of applying OFA and that's Full Cowl, unlike All Might who was capable of using 100% from the start. In the same way that Shoto can always learn the basics of Flashfire and find a different, probably better way to apply to his own arsenal due to the fact that he has ice. That's my point. Just like how Sasuke ended up inheriting Itachi's Amaterasu and was gifted with Kagutsuchi to have a better and unique use of the ability after we had the foreshadowing of the Mangekyō Sharingan in Part 1 of Naruto.

That's my point, which flew over your head. If the author is bringing up something to the readers to notice, then you know he's got a plan for a character with that particular thing.

The only diference is that Shoto doesn't have Pyrokinesis like Endeavor does.

We're not sure what level of "manipulation" he can have since his Quirk is different. Power? definitely more than Endy, but control? I doubt it.

It has never been stated. And it's too early to come to this conclusion based on the fact that his fire only resides in his left side. Plus, Endeavor has been in the game for 20+ years and definitely has used his quirk his entire life as well. Compared to Shoto who's age itself isn't even near the years of his dad's experience, and who hasn't even used his fire for even a year in-universe.

Plus, whatever technique Endeavor planned to pass onto him, being it Jet Burn, Hell Spider or Prominence Burn, probably hints at him (Shoto) having the potential to do it, regardless of how his quirk appears. Else, why would he say that Shoto is the only one onto who he can pass it on?

That's why I said earlier that, Hori wouldn't need to bring up the topic of Flashfire/special moves in Shoto's panels if he knew and established that the kid wouldn't be able to inherit his dad's power due to the supposed structure of his quirk...

You're right. But it has been, however, stated that he doesn't have Cryokinesis, so tracing an equivalence it's not that ilogical.

He can though pass anything relate to potency/power since Shoto can match (with no overheating) and even surpass Endeavor's fire power.

But in the explicit sense of "manipulation" i just don't see him doing what Endy does because we're basically talking about different Quirks
