I just can’t get it out of my head how Shouto, who was introduced as “The Boy born with everything” - the perfect quirk, a rich family, groomed from an early age to become the strongest hero - by his mere existence is indirectly causing the collapse of hero society. 

In a way, his birth is a culmination of many things that are wrong with hero society - the over-emphasis on strong, flashy quirks, the ranking system which assigns worth to heroes based on results and popularity, disregarding their moral characters and makes heroics a zero-sum game rather than a team effort for the greater good. 

And it’s so ironic, because the entire Todoroki-family is a mini-version of hero society.  The children with weak quirks are immediately discarded and ignored (and let’s not talk about how both Fuyumi and Natsuo end up in professions where they truly help people), Touya is strong, but his body is imperfect, so no matter how hard he works, he can never fulfill Endeavor’s ambition to become No. 1., for which he is cast aside, when the “perfect child” is born. And how that causes resentment to the point where he turns not against his abuser, but against his fellow victim. 

And how twisted that Touya is every way the one true heir of Endeavor. He is completely wrapped up in his selfish goal, using people around him, including his own family (both his birth family and his found one) as mere stepping stones and puppets to further his goals, just like Endeavor taught him to. He is in every way the creation of “old” Endeavor’s values. 

While Shouto who rejected and resisted Endeavor’s attempts to mold him kicking and screaming every step of the way, who never subscribed to his father’s goal ends up being the one standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him, in almost matching hero gear,  looking on with horror as Touya is dancing on the ruins of everything Shouto was born to protect. Because heroes save everyone. 

And I’m guessing the question will be asked again. Who is everyone? Does it include abusive fathers who destroyed your family? How about villainous brothers who murder innocents out of spite?
