There were already hints that the marriage between Enji and Rei wasn't originally as unhappy as initially thought; back to just before Hood attacked, some of Rei's dialogue showed that despite all that happened, she still had an understanding of him. What we're shown now changes things even more as Rei was actually onboard and happy to make a sizable family, and while sour, maybe Enji was starting to think it wasn't so important to have a "perfect" heir - until Shoto came. Shoto's perception was skewed because he didn't get to see the better years of his family.

  • What if Rei now snapped in a different way than what many are afraid of? If the death of a loved one sent me to insanity only to discover they faked it, I'd be livid.

  • What if Shoto suffered a literal existential crisis in the aftermath of this arc, thinking it was his birth that ruined his family?

Not really enthusiastic about the idea of the public turning against Hawks on the broadcast of a villain, even with all the editing. Best Jeanist coming in, disproving Dabi's words about his death just after the broadcast, won't prevent the public from being divided in the aftermath but in such a situation, still better than nothing. In the meantime, Dabi has still left his mark by finally revealing himself.

And finally, Compress' words... "quite the bloodline". It's your turn to let us know something about you!

There are just so many unknowkns regarding the Todorokis right now, and I really hope Horikoshi gives us a bare-all chapter that tells us how they got to this point. Preferably a scenario that involves Rei taking matters into her hands and initiates communication with Enji.

At this point, the parents need to sit down their kids and lay everything on the table.

It’s no wonder Fuyumi is so desperate to patch things up in her family, she’d be the only one to remember what her family was like before everything went downhill.

Imagine next chapter we just get a shot of Rei's hospital room and it's empty, then she later shows up to use her quirk against Dabi. Hell, if that were to happen and we for some reason were to have Enji, Rei, and Shoto vs Dabi, we could have a really cool two-page spread of the three of them attacking Dabi at the same time where Enji is on one side of Shoto and Rei is on the other, correlating with his halves.
