It was therefore quite exhilarating whenMy Hero Academiacreated the false stamp   that Endeavor , Shoto and Dabi would go all - out ina two - on - one Todoroki family brawl . So , when Dabi was subsequently paired off with Shoto alone while Endeavor face off against All For One , it was unsatisfying but understandable . But chapter 350 reveals that shoot down Shoto is a major part of Dabi ’s plan to get back at Endeavor . For the Brobdingnagian bulk of the chapter , Dabi shares what actually happened to him after he ostensibly burned alive in his do-or-die attempt to watch his father ’s attention . relive these memories intelligibly works Dabi into a craze , and as he prepares to attack , the villain announces that he will burn everything Endeavor holds near and dear .

This disclosure shows what could have been . Dabi ’s plan was n’t justto tear Endeavor down as originally believed , but to ruin the thing he have it off most . And since Shoto was the materialization Endeavor always wanted because of his Half - insensate Half - spicy   crotchet , that means that Shoto should have always been one of Dabi ’s main fair game . But preceding events , unfortunately , do n’t match this appraisal . When Shoto , Endeavor and Dabi first meet in the initial charge , Dabi completely ignore his blood brother . All he worry about is mocking their father and cast quips at him whenever he can . Something interchangeable transpires when he is later twin off with Shoto . All Dabi can talk about is Endeavor and how much he is using Shoto . This does n’t sound like a villain whose primary priority is to burn down everything Endeavor holds   well-nigh and pricey to him . Dabi even cite to himself as Shoto ’s big sidekick and , because of that , Dabi feel Shoto deservesto hear what happened to him .

Of naturally , there ’s the theory that burning everything that Endeavor worry about was never actually Dabi ’s big master plan . After all ,   Dabi has just recounted all of the pain and trauma he endured after burning alive . relive these memories could have just make him into enough of a frenzy   to make him desire nothing more than to destroy everything . Whether the comment is just the product of Dabi ’s rage in this given here and now or is significative of what his programme has been all along , it depict what could have been . If   mangaka Kohei Horikoshi ofMy Hero Academiahad clarified too soon on thatDabi ’s puerility made him desire to murderShotoand his whole family toget back atEndeavor , fans would have foresee this fight much more than they actually did .
