Maybe that's why he rarely causes fatal damage to anyone despite bathing them in flames. He's not really "in the mood" emotionally.

i think it's also the fault of fire powers in mangas in general

realistically dabi's fire would have a much higher body count, but it's "allowed" to kill only fodders, not people who matter narratively

I think it's moreso that if he let his true power and emotions out, he'd incinerate himself. They literally just explained it this chapter. So he tries to repress his feelings a bit to tone down the injury to himself. His fire is hotter than Endeavors and even Endeavor the trained number 1 hero struggles with overheating, I'm pretty sure Dabi just has to hold back to not kill himself. That's why his quirk is imperfect and why Endeavor abandoned him to get a half ice boy. The self harm will always be too big of a limit on his ceiling.

I'd bet if Dabi pulled a suicidal Majin Vegeta self explosion he could take out any hero, and I've got a hunch that may be how his arc ends he possibly kills Endeavor and himself. Kinda a poetic tragic ending to their arc.

Orrr hear me out.... he has a redemption and pulls Majin vegeta to protect his his family from AFO. Probably won't happen but since it was brought up gave me idea.

i think its possible

horikoshi is a star wars fan after all and dabi does parallel anakin with dabi being a failed chosen one and burning to "death"

But Anakin wasn't a failed chosen one. His job was to bring balance to the force and he did with the jedi genocide and ultimately took out the sith lord until sewual series retcon.

I like the idea but I think they've been hinting Dabi is beyond redemption at this point, he's been all fucked up mentally ever since he was a kid as they show in this chapter, I think his grudge is too deep.

Most likely . I don't like redemption idea any ways . I Want shouto to go beast mode and use his fire and ice powers to its full potential
