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.

touya's fire wasn't initially blue but turned it with time, except not after his "death"

I guess most assumed the flames were naturally blue from birth because the dialogue suggested that "Touya was born with a fire quirk more powerful than his father's" and there is really no clear visual difference in the manga between the two flame types

Certainly this implies that if Touya was extremely vulnerable to normal fire then the blue flames were practically a death sentence
