My hero academia Dabi theory [minor and heavy spoilers]

[Lugoose]

Some minor manga and anime season 3 spoilers:

 

I think the ''Dabi being a Todoroki'' theory is a commonly discussed theory in the heroaca fandom

For those who don't know, Endeavor and Todoroki's mom have 4 confirmed children, a daughter, Shouto Todoroki and two other sons. We've currently seen the faces of 3 of them in the manga while the fourth one remains anonymous so many speculate it might be the villain Dabi

 

first of all, Endeavor, Shouto's fire side and Dabi all have the same eye color

 

 

Dabi's has a blue flames quirk

 

 

The anonymous sons' hair was depicted as white in the manga

 

 

but red in the anime

 

 

If this theory is correct then Dabi must have dyed his hair regardless of if it was white or red. Them deciding to change his hair to red might indicate that he inherited Endeavor's fire quirk to make the reveal more believable when it finally comes. Kirishima is a proof of hair dye existing in the heroaca universe.

 

and now this infamous scene from season 3 during the training camp arc

 

 

For many, this panel kinda indicates that there is a bigger connection between these two characters. It just feels like there's more to this than Dabi simply saying Todoroki's name right after capturing his boyfriend.

 

There's a ton of more info regarding this theory online but these were the ones I liked the most

 

Idk how I feel about this theory, it just seems too obvious so I guess I'd be slightly disappointed if it turns out to be true but at the same time I'd be excited to see how it'd affect the story and the Todorokis' character development, especially Endeavor's

 

Heavy manga spoilers up until the recent chapter:

 

 

 

 

 

It's clear that Todoroki's brother is talking about another person here. He starts the sentence with ''But... What he did to you, to Shoto and to...'' indicates that. He's most likely not talking about their mother or else he would have completed the sentence because it's a known fact that Endeavor was a huge asshole with the way he treated her...

 

Since chapter 190 ended with Dabi showing up after Endeavor gets beaten the fuck up by that op noumu i guess the reveal is near... or maybe it isn't

The next chapter is definitely either going to confirm the theory or destroy it. I would personally love if he were a Todoroki,it might spice things up a bit (even tho things are already heating up). But watch it be completely off lol

Also, "Dabi simply saying Todoroki's name right after capturing his boyfriend". I-
