A Theory about Shouto's and Touya's birthdays

I've been thinking again about the meaning of Shouto's and Touya's birthdays. What if Shouto's birthday is 111 because it's like the winning combo on a slot machine (getting three ones is a particularly good sign in light of Endeavor's aim to raise a son to be No 1) and Touya's birthday is 118 because he's only "almost perfect"?

And then I did some further research, and sure enough, the in the 18 in Touya's birthday the kanji for 1: 一 (ichi) and 8: 八 (hachi) can be found in the following Japanese gambling phrase:

一か八か = ichi ka bachi ka, “one or nothing”, or literally “one or punishment” - i.e.: a high risk gamble or something like "go for broke".

As in the phrase:

一いちか八ばちかやってみよう。

Ichikabachika yatte miyō.

I’ll take my chances.

So now I'm 99% convinced that Shouto's and Touya's birthdays are a refence to Endeavor gambling with the kids as if they were prizes in a pachinko slot machines / was playing child gacha?

(Also - Hori's sick sense of humour)

The fact that in both scenarios, Katsuki took izuku's extended right hand with his left hand so they stand NEXT TO each other instead of in front of (like how you normally accept a hand that is reached out to you to help you) is so precious. He wanted them to stand by each other's sides for the rest of their lives.

Hence:

I wonder if it was his intention in this panel too or not:

keigo just wanted to see his man flaunting like a villain again. sorry (bonus + dialogue under the cut)

he’s just so flamboyant how does anyone take him seriously

I feel like a lot of people tend to forget that Touya was only a baby in his backstory.

Touya's quirk was discovered when he was less than a year old.

Touya was born in January, and Fuyumi was born in December of the same year. We see Fuyumi as a baby in this panel, and they already know about Touya's quirk which means it developed almost immediately after his birth.

Shouto began training when he was 5(ish), while Touya had started training much younger. Touya's lack of fire resistance was found out when he was only around 4 years old. He was not "old enough to know better". He was a child who'd lost his fathers love and sense of self worth in a span of 5 minutes, and didn't know how to deal with it.

I understand disapproving of his actions once he became an adult, but the things people say about him when he was js barely out of diapers are so nasty. How can you hate a child that much?? He acted out because that's what his only role model taught him to do?? He was practically taught that violence is the answer, and gets blamed for lashing out. How about we blame the abuser this time!! Just to switch it up for once.

And it wasn't for love that you went back home
