“There's very little happiness in having him back in the family” just popping in to say Nah don’t agree especially when we look back on how the family was negatively affected by Touya’s “death” I think there would be happiness in having him back and alive even if it is in jail!
The most important thing is that I won't be happy because this is such an unrealistic approach that I just wanna puke. Like, mate, if your family member committed mass murder, almost caused the death of other family members, never showed regret for anything and at the top of that joined the organisation that plummeted your country into civil war, will you be fucking happy?
Like, sure, this is fiction so everyone will hug at the end and be like "we love you so much" but in real life at some point, you won't feel anything but visceral disgust and dissapointment and guilt. And you will have to live with the fact that your son/brother did all that and everyone knows that and it will be brought up and it will be brought up and at some point, you'll start wishing he would be better off dead. Outside Enji, no one even did anything to deserve this shit
And, like, Touya never showed any sympathy for his victims and he never showed any sympathy for his friends. He manipulates, he kills and he doesn't give a fuck. And if all of a sudden in the last pages of manga he would be like "oh actually there's so much good at me" like he wasn't planning to kill his brother and his dad a moment ago, I will really be disgusted
I am so tired of unempathetic self-centred characters getting forgiven when they did literally nothing to deserve forgiveness. Like, sure, go eat udon with your bro who tried to kill ya, outside that unfortunate event he is a very nice person (no). It's fascinating to me that Dabi can attempt the murder of his family members and destabilise the entire country and people are eager to forgive him while Endeavor abused his family and has to go through an entire redemption arc and people still don't want this shit. No, redeem the mass murderer!!!
Also, everyone was really happy in the hospital scene when they *checks notes* were overwhelmed with guilt and Enji was crying his eyes out. I didn't even say there was "no happiness", but "very little". But, you know, they could have healed without him coming back to life. In fact, they started moving forward when he appeared and fucked up the entire country with his friends and only magic saved Rei from relapse (jk she is strong and we are proud of her)
Honestly, all of this is my preference, not an analysis of characters. Sure, Horikoshi doesn't have to do realism but if Shouto talks about inviting him to udon one more time, I am killing someone. Because I don't like this pretentious shit. You can disagree to the moon and back and have a shitton of very valid arguments but here's a thing - I just don't like this. I don't want to see everyone happy to see their murderous son/brother. If he is to survive I hope everyone is very sad. Because it's my preference and I hope people will finally stop telling me they disagree, like, c'mon 🙏🙏🙏 I am allowed to have my personal opinions please and thank you
