what's going on guys in this video i'll be going through every clue in the micro academia manga and anime that indicates that dabby is the son of endeavor despite having previously done theories about dabby's childhood and his future it occurred to me that i've never once done a video on why i'm so sure he's a todoroki in the first place today we're going through all the evidence that supports this idea all the way up to the latest chapters in the manga so spoiler warning for those of you who don't want to know anything beyond season four the first question we should start with is who exactly is toyotaroki as we all know from the sports festival endeavour sought to create a child with the potential to surpass all might and toyo was the first of his lab rats despite being the eldest child we can see here that his growth was clearly stunted when compared to his other siblings and endeavour referred to toya as having a weak constitution throughout the series we've had several instances of dabi having a weak constitution with one of the more subtle examples being back in the overhaul arc during their ambush of the police debbie mentions to spinner how he gets carsick and tells the lizard to stop swerving on the road none of the other villains had a problem with spinner's driving so it was interesting that horukoshi went out of his way to give dabi this panel just to complain about his car sickness when we flash forward to the myvillan academia arc we see again how frail dabby's body is as his face randomly starts to bleed despite not taking any damage at that point like he didn't take any hits or anything like that and the overuse of his quirk began to make his skin look like it was gonna fall off that battle was our first example of just how much dabby's body can't really handle his firepower as we see consistent panels of smoke emanating from his from his mouth and from his arms this wasn't the end of it though as during the war arc we see again that dabby continues to burn his own body with the smoke being more prominent than ever before looking back at endeavour's words about toya the full sentence was that the boy possessed even greater firepower than endeavour himself but inherited his mother's weak constitution we now know that debbie fulfills the criteria for having this weak body but what about his firepower as i'm sure you've all noticed dabby has had blue flames ever since his introduction to the series and thanks to a quick google search it is correct to say that blue flames are indeed hotter than the orange flames that we typically see from endeavour whilst the big guy was able to use blue flames once in the anime his level of firepower has never been enough to do it consistently which is why he must have considered toyah to be even more impressive than himself as a result before we move on we've confirmed that based on this statement from endeavour derby fulfills the criteria to be toyah because he has greater firepower and a weak constitution next up let's take a look at some interesting things dabi has said about the todoroki family the pro hero arc was the first time that dabi and endeavour came face to face and what's important to remember about this interaction is that endeavour had just finished an exhausting fight with the hyen nomu and had severely damaged his eye therefore when he was looking at dabi his vision was totally blurry as it says here which obviously gives him a perfect excuse to not recognize his own son in this moment the first giveaway that debbie already knew endeavor is when he looks at the hero and asks should i say nice to meet you and we can see that the nice to meet you part is in bold which implies that it wasn't a serious question he then goes on to say that he and endeavor should have a chat whilst they have this chance which makes it seem like number one there's something he wants to talk to endeavor about and number two that he's been waiting for the right opportunity to do it as dabi began to escape he specifically refers to endeavour as ng todoroki which is his full legal name this is suspicious because there are only three occasions in the manga when dabi has ever referred to someone by his full name the first being when he encountered shoto todoroki the second being when he met engie todoroki and the final being during his fight with hawks each of those situations was unique but there's one thing that makes his meeting with shoto and endeavour particularly special these were the first times that dabby had encountered those characters you know it was the first time he had met shoto and he called him by his full name and it was the first time he had met endeavour and he also called him by his full name what reason is there for this weird formality with the todoroki family as a quick comparison you know bakugou was the kid that he was kidnapping and he didn't refer to bakago by his full name in my opinion this is a subtle hint towards his connection to the todoroki family the other suspicious moment that happened during the pro hero arc was how dabby excitedly looked forward to getting another chance to talk with endeavour in the future and he says that he hopes endeavour can stay alive until they next get the chance to meet if we flash forward to chapter 231 dabi again shows that he prioritizes endeavour's life as he orders hawks to kill any hero except the number one i need you guys to appreciate how ridiculous that is because debbie says here that hawks must kill someone to show his loyalty to the anti-establishment cause and there would be nothing more anti-establishment than killing the number one hero yet for some reason dabby doesn't want that to happen clearly whatever message that dabby wants to tell endeavour it's so important that it almost overrides what his main goal what you would assume his main goal would be therefore to recap everything so far debbie fits endeavour's description of toyotaroki and he has a specific message that he wants to tell endeavor and refuses to let anything happen to endeavour until he can do that he also refers to members of the todoroki family by their full names despite only meeting them for the first time supposedly it's only todoroki family members that get this treatment now moving on all members of the todoroki family believe that toya is dead and we see that endeavor has built a memorial dedicated to his oldest son toya's age in this photo basically confirms that his death happened around 10 years ago but let me explain why toyo was the oldest child which by default makes him between three to four years older than natsuo natsuo was 19 when we first met him meaning that if dabi is toyah he's at least 22 when we first see him in the anime but he's also possibly 23 years old or 24. therefore 10 years ago debbie would have been middle school age which is when this final photo was taken before toya's death this is important because during the sports festival allmight revealed that he hadn't seen endeavor since a press conference 10 years ago what was this press conference that occurred around the time of toyah's death and why later in the manga did endeavour reveal that he may as well have killed toya himself is it not possible that the press conference that omai is referring to was somehow related to the incident that killed toya and perhaps by endeavour failing to stop this incident maybe that's why he bears some responsibility for what happened i certainly think it's plausible that this is related but let me know your thoughts on it down below moving on it's a fact that natsuo was very close with his older brother and stated that toyo always told him everything it's for that reason that 10 years later natsuo can still not forgive endeavor and cries at the memories of what happened back in the day natsuo's relationship with toyah is very relevant when we look at this incident of daby crying in chapter 191 and i'm going to explain why it's likely that he shed tears about natsuo in this moment for full context of this scene dabi had previously killed the pro hero called snatch and just before he dealt the finishing blow the hero asked abby if he ever thought about the families who have to live with the loss because of darby's actions we know that the todoroki family suffered the loss of their eldest son 10 years ago and i think this statement by snatch is what caused daby to for once think about those who are living with the loss of toyah's death it's clear he doesn't care about endeavour or shoto but one person who could cause him to shed bloody tears like this would be his little brother natsuo remember that in the chapter immediately after we see dabi crying natsuo angrily shouts an endeavor and refers to some unknown incident involving his big bro toyah furthermore when the younger brother visited their mother in the hospital he mentioned again how he couldn't forgive endeavor for what he did to her what he did to shoto and what he did to a mystery person who is obviously toyah on both occasions when natsu mentioned his older brother he was unable to finish this sentence and he never quite elaborated on what exactly happened to toya which indicates the events must have been quite traumatizing with all that said an interesting piece of trivia before we move on to the next part is that endeavours memorial tutoria is presumably located in toyo's old room as we see this football in the corner which we know he's played with in the past other things that support the idea that dabi is toyah includes his physical features specifically his eyes his smile and his skin grafts to start with the eyes we've seen a wide variety of eyes in the series ranging from the myrial eyes to the deku eyes to the izawa eyes basically there's a wide variation of different eye designs this makes it interesting when we compare shoto dabi and endeavor because they have near identical eyes when it comes to both the color and the the shape and the design of them and when we then compare them to toya himself you'll see that the similarity remains another eye comparison that was quite interesting was how dabby's angry eyes that we saw during modern academia were almost like a mirror image of ray todoroki's eyes when she had a mental breakdown regardless though dabi's most defining physical feature is the skin grass that he has stapled all over his body skin grafts are patches of skin that are placed on top of areas that have been previously burnt and the fact that debbie has these skin grafts indicates that he's been through some kind of trauma that burned off parts of his skin when we remember that toyotaroki had a weak constitution that couldn't handle his own flames it all starts to come together if toya survived the accident that supposedly killed him then it's probable he'd need skin grafts similar to what debbie has now when we take a look at his smile you'll notice that in recent chapters he's been smiling a lot and i thought that this panel of him here was very reminiscent of this panel of fuyumi who is presumably his younger sister i thought their smiles look relatively similar here like the design you could believe that they were siblings just based on how similar these smiles look the final piece of relevant information that links debbie to toya is the fact that dabi's real name has been consistently kept a secret from the very beginning during their first encounter shigaraki asks dabi for his real name and the villain refused to say it telling shigeraki that he'll know when he needs to know it then when we flush forward to kamino gran torino and the police were able to uncover the names of all the league of villain members except darby and shiguraki after this a similar thing happened during the war arc when hawks looked into the villain's backstories and he said that he could find information on everyone except darby and shiguraki again i did a theory video explaining why i believe diabetes identity is so hard to uncover but it's important to note that this is this is by dabi's own design literally none of the villains know what his real name is despite him spending 99 of his time with them and it was therefore a big surprise when dabi straight up told hawkes what his name was in chapter 267 we as an audience weren't able to see what it was but hawke's reaction tells us that it's a name he recognizes if he is a todoroki from hawks's perspective it's a big deal because we all know hawkes is a massive fan of endeavor um and he's worked closely with endeavour so to hear that this is a todoroki or endeavour's son yeah i mean i would react like this as well based on the clues that i've presented in this video those are the reasons why i think that dabi has to be toyotaroki it's not guaranteed but in my opinion it is but you may think differently if you like this video then i would really appreciate it if you would subscribe and until the next one peace out
