word of advice ! Spoilers onward forMy Hero Academiachapter 350 !
The villain Dabi ( originally known as Toya Todoroki ) just let on what actually happened after his flame plunge him , and it ’s even more tragic thanMy Hero Academiafans realise .
In chapter 350 , Dabi recite the agonising experiences he weather to his brother Shoto Todorokithat he only hinted to in chapter 349 , and the affect that his fire had on him was not what fan expected . Although he fell into a three - class coma , this was the least of his troubles . Not even the long washables tilt of monumental injuries he nourish ( and the list is quite extensive ) guard a candle to what Dabi finally learns from All For One upon his awakening : Dabi was fundamentally leave behind powerless , or , at least , came out much weak from the entire trial by ordeal to the stage where he was no longer useful as is . In other words , Dabi needed to undergo rigorous preparation ( and possibly more ) to reach where he is now . And therein rest the dependable tragedy of Dabi ’s origin narrative .

in the beginning , fans were under what ’s distinctly now a false impressionthat the flames which engulfed Dabinever stopped and that All For One basically helped him control and fully leverage the raging pit . Although this would ’ve meant that Dabi would ’ve most likely had to endure Brobdingnagian bother alone - which would have understandably contributed to his genial diminution - at least , it meant that the Modern knock-down flames he received were the product of his making love for his father Endeavor and the dire need for Endeavor ’s lost affectionateness . Although this would ’ve meant that All For One would have eventually contorted what was distinctly a pure desire into something horrifying despite being born from negativeness , it would have least bug out out of love .
But that ’s no longer the case . Much like how Toya die that night , so , too , did the flames he once wielded . Those fires had been successfully snuffed out for good . ( Less figuratively , Toya would have literally expire , if he did n’t receive any aesculapian attention . ) Instead , All For One actually helpedcreatenew flames that were alone put up out of a desire for payback . The only poetic justice from this disaster is that his new scars are the event of these raw twisted flames . Yes , this up-to-the-minute chapter reveals that All For One actually had to stitch him together like some form of amalgamated monster , butbefore the Todoroki household brawl even commences , Dabi also tells his buddy Shoto that these flames have been cauterize away his molder flesh . So rather than have the flame that were born from his despair cut him live , he is literally being burn by his need for vengeance .
Even if this late interpretation causes reader to feel as though this entire situation actuallyimproves Dabi ’s situation and Todoroki reunion as a whole , devotee can , at least , accord that this latest development - most peculiarly the introduction of these newfangled flames and the ducking of his old fires - actually preface a whole new level to his overall story . Readers will also most potential never bang or see what power Toya had originally tried showing his dad on that portentous nighttime because those flames are now gone for practiced . Not only does this add more nuance to one ofMy Hero Academia ’s most tragic stories , but it further instance the death of Toya and the birth of Dabi .
