BNHA 390 - Todoroki Shoto: Rising (Volume version - full chapter)

Full chapter under the cut

[fae-v1606]

Chapter 388 and 389 - volume version

Full chapters - under the cut.

It flows much better. There are a lot of panels rearranged - but it makes clear that the Shouto-less family is Touya's feeling of "everyone is watching me" followed immediately by the rage of "why not sooner" as the cracks appear and the fireball starts to radiate out, threatening with destruction beyond the family.

It's very symbolic their arrival - first Enji, then Rei, Fuyumi and Natsuo, and finally, Shouto helped by Iida (Class A/UA/Friends), wielding his ultimate move from his heart, balancing his two sides, demonstrating the healing and progress - ready to diffuse the situation.

New version of Chapter 390 here

She’s so badass and I’m SICK

[fae-v1606]

so it seems like it's not a "future" panel OR an au thing it's literally just what touya is seeing rn oh god i need to lie down this is so much worse

[fae-v1606]

Dudebros after Ch 387: oh, there is nothing to save, only Dabi is left, Touya is long gone

Horikoshi: gives Ch 388 "Touya" as title, has him say "okaa-san, Fuyumi-chan, Natsuo-kun"

[fae-v1606]

I know this panel is what Dabi is seeing right now (as in he’s aware of what is going on: that his family except Shouto are here, that he’s missing his arm, that his dad is too etc) but I wonder if he’s specifically seeing himself as an older version of how he used to look in order to visually show that he is and always has been Touya. That boy who wants to be loved and wanted by his family

That Touya and Dabi ARE the same person. There’s no “I wanted this to happen but now I want this other completely different thing to happen”, all phases of Dabi’s life have always in some way been about wanting to have his family near him again. Both features of that are combined in the figure, his past and his present - Dabi looking like he used to when he was a kid but still in his villain outfit and still older judging by the height

So I think this panel here is more for the reader than the character, to hammer down for the audience that this is always what he has wanted; his family’s eyes on him, surrounded and loved

And hopefully Shouto will be included in that

They “don’t do so well with heat” and YET. AND YET HERE THEY ARE 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

"It's not fair that the Todorokis are talking him down when he's not even fully coherent of what's going on!!!!" Shut the fuck up do you think suicidal people are fully coherent standing on a ledge? Or addicts during an intervention? Would YOU wait for your loved one to be "sufficiently coherent" to pull them off the ledge or are you gonna get them off the damn ledge first because that's the fucking priority.

You get them off the edge of the damn cliff FIRST and THEN once they're stable and coherent you talk about it.

They're trying to pull him off the ledge Jesus fucking christ some of you sound soooo anti recovery it's fucking concerning

Shouto's missing..

Arriving on the nick of time is Shouto's specialty. 😉

Already said it on Twitter, and gonna say it here too.

The idea that stopping someone from hurting themselves (and everyone around them) and rehabilitating them is 'invalidating' their trauma is truly the most 'what in the actual fuck' BNHA take ever. Huh? Please make it make sense. Do those people also think that going to therapy and choosing not to be miserable your entire life is invalidating your own trauma? 'Oh, you're feeling suicidal due to your trauma and depression lately? Better not accept or ask for help! And if you know someone who is showing concerning signs, don't you dare try to stop and help them, and try to make them feel better, 'cause then you'd be saying that their traima doesn't matter and they should learn to act normal! You're opressing victims! >:('

The point of the bad/good victims idea in BNHA is not that 'bad' victims should be left to run amok, lash out, and self-destruct just because they're victims and this is how they express their trauma. No, the point is that despite their behavior and actions they also need and deserve help just as 'good' victims do.

'But heroes haven't showed any signs of recognising that they were wrong yet' - they literally have, that's the entire point of the hero students from the Savior Squad. And some aspects of the system ALREADY started changing - for example, finally reconnecting heroes and civilians and making the latter to start viewing heroes as just people again.

fuyumi and natsuo aaa

[fae-v1606]

Imagine if Endeavor was useful even once in his life

[fae-v1606]

Isn't it weird that Dabi is literally burning to death in front of their eyes and the Todorokis are still talking about how it's causing problems for other people? Like? Priorities? Also wasn't that the whole root of the issue back when Toya was a child and all he did was complain about his father mistreating him they considered THAT to be him causing problems for other people?

Oh totally. I swear, everyone has villain tunnel vision this arc; focused more on if someone’s causing a bother than addressing any root issues.

And with Dabi specifically, no one wants to talk about his feelings; and if they bring up his health it's never the first thing they say to him no matter how obvious his damage is. Shoto says their childhoods & dad may have sucked but he's still bad for being a villain, Enji said one thing to Touya he could comprehend before the brain damage set-in and it was to ask about Shoto's well-being, and now we see Natsuo telling him to stop being a villain while watching him burn to death. Like I don't want to throw too much shade at his siblings but this prioritization of everything but his feelings & welfare is just Touya's childhood all over again.

Chapter 388 - Touya .... This chapter is literally fire

The chapter begins with Kendo immobilizing the AFO spies with her hands and informing the other heroes that they have messed with the system, so the shelters will not move again. The heroes then start evacuating all civilians back to the surface

The U.A. robots are there too and are ready to take people to other safe spaces, all they have to do is give them an order. The heroes instruct the civilians not to look the other way to avoid seeing Dabi's giant heat sphere, but the Todorokis ignore that warning

Rei makes a worried expression and immediately gets in one of the bike-shaped robots, asking Natsuo to protect his sister. She then asks the robot to take her to the source of that heat, the robot says that he's there to follow the human's orders and the flashback ends

Back to the present, the robot has been totally destroyed by the heat and "died" doing a thumbs-up. Rei screams "TOYA" as her face continues to burn. Endeavor wonders if she's keeping herself alive by using her ice on herself and plans to do the same thing with Toya

Endeavor tells her to back off because she will burn to death, but she responds by saying that the same goes to them. Dabi starts mumbling "moooom" and Rei apologizes to him.

Next he says "Natsu-kun, Fuyumi-chan..." and Rei realizes that the two of them have come too. She says they shouldn't be there, but Fuyumi says she doesn't want to lose anyone else. Natsuo remembers when he used to ignore Toya's complaints, imagines himself properly talking to him as a kid, and yells "stop causing so much trouble, stupid brother!"

Endeavor thinks to himself that if he uses more fire to propel them upwards, Toya's body will reach its limit. He asks "please, don't take them too..." and we see a vision of all of them in a what-if future, with a grown-up Toya wearing Dabi's jacket. End of chapter

If there is something in bnha that'll always keep on giving, its the "parent figure" love.

It's the way how Inko recognized she was wrong in not believing in Izuku's dreams, but also told All Might no to his face because she was allowing her child to stay on a place that took his safety for granted. How she is always there for him.

It's Nao Shimura not being even a little terrified for herself as she ran to Tenko, just minutes after giving an ultimatum to his husband. It's her face sick with worry, even as her body fell apart, even as she died, eyes always on her little boy.

It's Aizawa Shouta cutting his own leg midair in the heat of the battle, because he couldn't afford to lose, not for himself but for Eri and Class A-1. It's the way he won't stand aside as they destroy themselves for the hero society, how he won't shy away from the responsibility.

It's Rei Himura trying her best to protect her kids on an abusive household, trying her best to get better (mentally), to make up for her mistakes. 'Cause even if she was broken, the minute things got ugly, she got there. There to support them, her kids, to take responsibility, to tell Enji to man up and get his shit together, now she's risking her life to reach Touya, a woman of her word.

It is quirkless Toshinori Yagi facing AFO because he firmly believes in what Izuku taught him at the beginning of the manga. It is Iida Tensei guiding his brother to become a real hero in a world full of anger. Nana Shimura making time for All Might to escape. David Shield supporting Melissa's desire to make an impact on the pro-hero world even if she's quirkless. NightEye dying to support Mirio and Izuku. Kurogiri breaking free because he is Tomura Shigaraki's protector. Rock Lock angry about how the kids of Class 1-A were risking their lives in the Overhaul arc. And many more.

Any chapter showing how far a parent would go for their children is a good chapter.
