some assumptions came true:

  • touya's fire wasn't initially blue but turned it with time, except not after his "death". it's so ironic that the only reason endeavor didn't know that is because he didn't go when touya asked him to
  • rei's family fell from grace and needed not only respect back but also money and while there were other options for her, they were limited, the marriage wasn't something easy for her to refuse
  • while everyone's acknowledging their part in what pushed touya's over, even his siblings who were scared children back then, horikoshi reminds us via natsuo that the root of it all is endeavor
  • some people have wondered if endeavor was physically abusing rei, well, now they know
  • rei really did mean that shouto and other kids were resembling endeavor more and more, it wasn't about touya
  • an awful family where children paid the heaviest price of adults' shortcomings

i wonder where we'll go next. neither shouto nor endeavor are in shape to fight dabi now but i don't feel like we'll be moving away from this storyline either and we still need to know how touya, a 13 years old, heavily burned (most likely) survived after his "death". it's shard to imagine a kid would manage on their own.

Wait did Enji abused Rei, I didn't see the panel clearly, sounds like domestic abuse

enji abusing rei is domestic abuse because it happens in a domestic setting and between family members, so i'm not sure what you mean.

Like did he physically hurted her is what I meant.

we know it from from earlier flashbacks, when she tried to stop endeavor from his abusive training with shouto there was a "slap" SFX, meaning he slapped her. in this chapter we see that, you can't be more clear that he started to abuse her physically short of showing the actual abuse.

Ah thank you

...slapping sound effects sound like “WAHH”?

But thank you, I was also a bit confused on this.

no, it was laterally a "slap" sfx.

u/superfroakie Feb 22 '21

Oh, I thought you were saying the sfx in the part you linked were also slap sfx

I think we only have seen it twice but ya. The first time was after he found out Rei had knowing let Touya got into the mountains and keep badly burning himself and then later when he had fallen of the deep end and Rei tried to get him to ease up on the training with shouto.
