#and helps throw Japan in to a dystopian nightmare

[problemswithbooks]

So, I think I just saw one of the worst takes for ch. 390--that being that Enji is being his asshole self because he's talking over Touya in his last moments.

I understand hating a character but I really don't know why people have the need to read everything they do from the most malicious angle possible. I get that Enji was a bad father, and even now makes mistakes, but it's really unfair to see him apologizing to Touya who has already been aloud to use what little breath he has left to speak, as him talking over him.

And the thing is people were shitting on Enji for not apologizing earlier, but now that he is, they have to find some other reason he's being terrible. I'm 100% positive that if Enji had just listened to Touya rant about hating everyone and wanted them all to die, these same people would say he was bad for not saying anything/apologizing.

Touya was barely coherent before Shoto froze him and now he's freezing from the inside out. He's charred to the bone and it's clear he's having trouble speaking the few times he did. For all the family knows, including Enji, Touya is dying. Does Enji really have the time to wait to apologize? And it's not like we see Touya trying to speak but getting cut off.

Saying Enji is making everything all about himself and speaking over Touya is overly harsh and clearly not the point the story is trying to make. It's just Enji finally apologizing to everyone, including Touya. The apology may not be enough, but even if it's not, it won't be because Enji talked over him and more that it came to late, or that words don't speak as loud as actions.

#idk #the way every non-Touya todoroki got heavily criticized these last few chapters really bugs me #like people make every excuse for Dabi #but as soon as the family gets upset because he's going to kill hundreds of innocent people #instead of telling him how much they want him to live and how much they love him #while risking their lives to try and save him mind you #they're big wrong and should try harder to be better siblings #like Touya's been dead to them for six years or more #and then it turns out he's been alive and shows up trying to kill your youngest brother #and admits to killing 30 random people to make your abusive dad look bad #and helps throw Japan in to a dystopian nightmare #and this makes everyone hate you #like idk i'd probably be more concerned with the hundreds of innocent people he's about to kill over him too #he's put your lives at risk multiple times and has already killed a lot of people #you haven't heard from him for 6 years and he let you think he was dead the entire time #like honestly Touya is lucky his siblings even bothered to show up to help him at all #like Rei and Enji should be there because they're obligated to be as his parents #but it would be more then fair for all of Touya's siblings to wash their hands of him after all the shit he put them through #but how dare anyone be anything but understanding and loving toward any of the LoV #it wouldn't bug me as much if Dabi got the same treatment #but when people said it was pretty shitty he left his family and let them think he was dead #he got the whole 'he owns his family nothing' treatment #like why does Touya own his family nothing #and it's fine for him to leave them to grieve his loss while he plots to murder shoto to show up there father #but wrong for Fuyumi and Natsu to not be 100% showing Dabi with love as he burns everyone in a 100 miles alive #including them
