#and they didn't decide to kill strangers or each other just to spite Enji

[problemswithbooks]

The 6 chapter epilogue moves to 'end' the Tododrama this chapter leaving a divided fandom...

For me I think that given the story the Todorokis have had up to this point it both makes sense and is the best we could have hoped for. I'm not one hundred percent happy with it, but I defiantly don't view as negatively as a lot of people seem to.

First off Touya dying makes sense and this is perhaps harsh but I hope he does. People theorizing that the mysterious Tenko like figure is Shigaraki and he will heal him and the rest of the LoV with his restored Overhaul powers is insane to me. With only four chapters left idk how that would even be covered or concluded, since even if they were healed they would all still be put in prison--it wouldn't erase the fact Touya killed 30 innocent people by his own omission. So, how Hori would cover that kind of plot in a cohesive way in four chapters is beyond me. It's pretty much people wanting a worse story because they want their favorite character to live.

Also, I'm a bit frustrated that yet again people are acting like Enji should die instead and making wild accusations based on nothing. Namely that Touya dying supposedly soonish negates Enji saying he'll watch him and his death will let him off the hook so to speak.

Enji has shown that he really loves Touya and feels immense guilt and rightful responsibility for how he treated him and his the rest of the family. Touya dying doesn't suddenly heal his permanently crippled body or give him back his Hero job. It will only make him feel worse. Also it's not as if once Touya is gone he'll ignore the rest of his family either. He still owes them as well, and will probably try to help them in whatever way he possibly can.

People acting as if Touya's death will free him or that afterwards he'll go on with his life completely happy and forgetting about him is just not in any way accurate to what we've seen of his character.

The other thing I've seen floating around is the idea that if Enji had been killed off during the first PLF War, Shoto would have saved Touya and the family would have been happy in the end. I don't think that's true. I will admit I'm bias because I like Enji and I'm not a fan of Touya, but given how Hori seems to have delt with the LoV and villains in general (unless he pulls a 180 and heals them last min) I think Touya was always meant to end up dying slowly in a hospital or get some other bittersweet ending.

BNHA is not grimdark by any means but it is not the idealistic manga of the past like Naruto. Hori punishes characters that make bad choices no matter how understandable or even shitty the choices they had were. Aoyama, despite helping defeat Afo, being a child and under the threat of death to him and his family, still drops out of UA because he feels he still has to earn his place there. Bakugou dies and his heart and hand will never be the same, while also having to deal with the guilt of Izuku loosing his Quirk (if that sticks). Enji, even though trying to change and atone for most of the Manga's run is still left permanently crippled, the job that meant everything to him, lost, his legacy gone.

For Touya who killed so many people without care, only to get back and his father. Who plotted to kill his little brother despite knowing he was abused. Not caring if his plans got his other innocent family members killed. After everything we've seen with other characters who did far less wrong and tried hard to amend those mistakes getting harsh consequences, I doubt it was ever the plan to have Touya sitting at the table with his family eating his favorite food with a smile, regardless of Enji being alive or not. To suggest that Hori only had Shoto fail because Hori needed Enji to be involved just isn't true. If Hori wanted to give Touya a happy ending he would have--many fans have already come up with how that could have happened even with Enji still alive.

The only criticism I agree with is Rei's ending. You can defiantly read how she wheels Enji around and answers his phone as them being back together or in the very least her becoming his caretaker. Now, That might not be the case--she could just doing those things because they were both going to see Touya and she's just helping him out that day, while they actually live separately, with Enji having a paid home assistant that couldn't or wouldn't go with him to see Touya (because of the stigma or visiting regulations). The issue is that we just don't know for sure and Rei has been shafted pretty badly.

That said, I wasn't expecting much from/for her anyway. I think getting a little blurb about what she was doing like Natsuo and Fuyumi did would have helped, but I sort of doubt Hori had any idea what to do with her character outside being Enji's abused wife and Shoto's mom. With him rushing to get these last chapters out I'm not shocked he just stuck her in the background, especially when Enji and Shoto as secondary characters needed the screen time.

🥀🦋 here again with another Todoroki reader x character and today I have

Alastor

Alastor is a Gentleman with a New Orleans charm to him and is no stranger to family abuse.

Alastor was abused like you were (are) and so you can relate to each other. A bond that not many would understand. Even though his abuse mostly came from his father and it was out of spite.

Alastor has powers that a very difficult to understand and uses that to his advantage. As well as his height, he towers over you and the rest of your family standing at 8ft he can be intimidating as hell!

And like Steven, Sal, and Camilo Alastor loves to make you laugh. "Smile my dear! Your neva' fully dressed without one~"

Alastor also uses his hate for his father and the abuse of him and his mother to manipulate your family. Has a 'heart to heart' with your brothers and mother, he relishes the fact he hits those nerves.

Alastor has you completely wrapped around his clawed finger, and you both love it. Your family not so much.

Rei is crying thanks to Alastor poking at and chipping away her mental state, soon she will have another accident and he will be the one to save you!

Enji is terrified of Alastor bringing up his past to you, and comparing him to his father. He has decided to play nice with Alastor, so he won't expose him for the things he has done and you won't hate him.

All of your siblings are lost, due to Alastor connecting to their pain, they hate him but also feel his pain, even if Alastor has left that pain goes a long time ago after murdering his father but...they didn't need to know that.

Hawks is sweating bullets at this point he was the one that promised to take you away and save you from your family (and take Enji with you of course) but now that Al is there, you haven't been paying attention to him at all and his plans are crumbling down and he doesn't know what to do.

They can't kill Alastor, they can't force him to leave, and they can't take you away with them and move, he would just teleport and find you again! There is only one possible thing that can go wrong...

Alastor is not only a demon but he is a killer cannibal, but he does that off the grid. No trace of him or his victim so it's unlikely the family would find that out but on the off chance, they do. Alastor is good at manipulation and knows how to make himself look like an angel even when he is the farthest from it.

Ah yes, another fight the todoroki fam cannot win honestly I would never think of these things 🦋🥀 anon so where do you gets these from?

But why is Alastor on earth anyways
