Yearning For Soft Enji, So Here’s A Softdad!Enji With Touya

More or less how I feel about the situation as well. I feel that so many people complain about the realism of the story and forget that this is just a shounen manga at the end of the day. Yes, MHA does explore realistic topics and what not, but I don't think its focus is realism. I mean if it was would Hori have even entertained the idea of Tenko being saved?? Obviously they should probably get a divorce but if that was where the story was heading I feel that Hori would've at the very least brought up the topic but he hasn't. If they do stay together (and I think they will) it would be nice to see the fam's dynamic.

Do u think Enji and Rei will divorce? (I know it's stigmatized or something in Japan) Despite everything I really don't think they will tho, idk if that makes me crazy or what.

Honestly I don't think so.

As usual this is my opinion and I don't know how things will go in the end but, from how I see things BNHA is meant to be a story with a happy ending and divorce in Japan wouldn't definitely be considered like a happy ending for the Todofam.

Probably in Japan even Enji's death would feel happier than his divorce... and, before someone will ask, I don't think Enji's death would be considered a happy ending either so it's unlikely it'll happen.

The most Enji and Rei might do, and I still consider unlikely they will do it, might be take a break from each other in which Enji will try to regain the trust of his family.

I sincerely doubt Horikoshi will go for the 'hey, divorce is a possible and sometimes good solution' approach.

The end goal of the hellish Todoroki family was likely always to prove they could rebuild itself if they were to accept instead than reject all its member.

Enji is likely meant to do what Kotarou couldn't, what Himiko's parents weren't interested in doing, make up with Touya (and the rest of his family which he has also abused... I single out Touya specifically because he's the hardest to make up with as he's filled with negative feelings at the moment... no one else in the family is set on murder Enji and die, after all) and create a happy family by understanding his mistakes and fixing them so as to give the hopeful message that there are parents out there that might have messed up a lot, that might have done terrible things but that will one day realize their mistakes and make up with you...

...which in real life is sadly extremely unlikely, but overall BNHA to me feels more like a fairytale where a young girl earnest words can persuade a crowd to welcome a tired boy among them even if it can be dangerous and they're all scared, not a story about the likely most realistic scenario... so as to give a message of hope.

Undoubtedly in the west the story would work even if Enji and Rei were to accept they didn't love each other and the best they could do for each other is go separate ways but still be there for their kids... but I don't think Japan is ready for this sort of message.

What's more Horikoshi often uses the microcosm of the Todoroki family to represent the macrocosm of society. Enji and Rei deciding their differences can't be reconciled would end up on representing how society, which in BNHA is currently split, can't reconcile.

I think it would get in the way of the message of peace and happiness Horikoshi is trying to pass. So yeah, I don't think there's a single chance for the Todoroki to divorce.

As usual, I might be wrong. I'm not Horikoshi after all, I don't really know how the story is going to end. We can only wait and see.

998. and I do push his buttons.

>>BNHA / MHA Spoilers!<<

Drew this in reaction to Chapter 350! If Touya heard Enji call him an almost perfect creation, I get that he wasn‘t ecstatic about returning.

fun fact, the font used for this is called „I know a ghost“

Headcanon that when Fuyumi manifested her Quirk, she accidentally froze the kitchen floor in knee-deep ice and Rei right along with it.

...

Rei: So Fuyumi manifested her Quirk and, long story short, I need you to come home and melt me out of the floor.

Endeavor: ...can you get Touya to do it?

Rei: He's two. And he's a little upset about the floor situation because, and I quote, 'his legs don't work' because, 'the floor broke.' It took him forty-five minutes to Bambi-scramble across the ice in order to bring me my phone so I could call you.

Endeavor: All right, I'll be home in twenty. Stay put.

Rei: Duh. .... I can hear you laughing, Enji, and for the record, this had better not be an office story tomorrow.

Keeping with my headcanon that Endeavor, like Shouto, cannot comprehend euphemisms or metaphors:

Rei: Hey, people are like hardboiled eggs. Sometimes you can get the shell off easily, other times you gotta work at it a little bit.

Endeavor: ....what?

At this point, if I can imagine Touya and Shouto saying it, I can also see young Rei and Endeavor saying it.
