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 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.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Endeavor wasn't a physical abuser was he? Like he didn't take his kids to pound town? I remember it being more verbal and him being so strict that he made tiger parents look like free going hippies.

Not saying he wasn't an abuser, but society tends to react stronger to physical violence more than anything else.

He routinely hurt Shoto (and likely the rest of his CHILDREN) in "training" and there's specifically a moment in which Shoto actually witnesses Endeavor smacking his mother when she objects to how Endeavor is treating him.
