Appearance of Dabi
Dabi is a rather tall, pale young man with a thin, somewhat limp build who is described as being in his early twenties. He has white hair with a few reddish strands at the top, which hangs low over his eyes, which are thin, turquoise in color, and very closed. Before the revelation of her true identity, her hair was dyed black. 👦🏻
His most striking features are undoubtedly the gnarled, wrinkled patches of purple skin that cover much of his lower face and neck, down to his collarbone, under his eyes, around his torso, and on his arms and legs, due to his Fire Alter that got out of control at a young age and engulfed him in flames. 🔥 They appear to be attached to the rest of his skin with multiple crude surgical staples or circle piercings.
He has multiple silver cartilage piercings in both ears, and a triple nostril piercing on the right side of his nose. On closer inspection, he also appears to be missing earlobes on both sides of his ears. In his first appearance, he is wearing a dark blue jacket with a high, ripped collar, and matching pants cut above the ankles, a pair of dark dress shoes on his feet. He also wears a plain light gray shirt with a round collar, under which a gray belt with a circular pattern wraps around his waist, a leather satchel attached to the back.
As a child, Toya had a round face and unruly crimson hair that was pulled up in clumps around her head, falling over her forehead in an irregular fringe, though due to the inheritance of her mother's genes (or Marie Antoinette syndrome), her hair slowly bleached. Due to his premature birth, he was also shorter than his two younger siblings, Fuyumi and Natsuo, although after his growth spurt, he reached the same height as them. 🤴🏻
When he joins the Genesis Action Squad, his look is updated, now consisting of a larger dark blue coat with two large metal cuffs at the end of each elbow, and a pattern of white dots on each of his shoulders, the hem torn, extending to his knees. His shirt and belt remain the same, but he replaces his pants with a larger, darker-colored one, and his shoes with black boots.
Upon the formation of the Paranormal Liberation Front, Dabi acquires a new outfit to complement his status as one of the nine lieutenants of the organization. Dabi wears a long dark blue coat with the same white cuffs as his previous one. In addition, he dons a white V-neck shirt with white outlines. His stitches extend not only to his shoulder pads but also to the kneecaps of his pants. The only things he retains are his silver belt, black boots and dark colored pants. He also has three buttons on both sides of his coat.
Personality of Dabi
As a child, Toya was very energetic and rambunctious, and he wanted to learn everything he could from his father. Since his father Enji had insisted that he would be the one to surpass All Might since childhood, Toya became obsessed with achieving this dream, becoming just as stubborn as his father to become the next number one. This desire to surpass All Might was so great that despite Enji's attempts to tell him to give up this goal and focus on something else in life, he refused and continued to train, burning himself in the process. After being abandoned by Enji, who focused on Toya's younger brother Shoto, Toya went through an existential crisis, crying in frustration every night.😭 After losing control of his fire and burning a large part of his body, he faked his death and became a murderous criminal obsessed with ruining his father's reputation.
After renaming himself Dabi, he became emotionless and very cold with people. Although he is rather brutal and violent, he is actually cautious, choosing to retreat when Mirko arrived to help Endeavor. 🔥
Dabi hates almost everyone and can be very derisive, being quite rude and condescending to almost everyone he interacts with. He insulted Tomura Shigaraki immediately after meeting him and constantly does the same with allies and enemies alike, but he doesn't always do it with the intention of being rude. While the League has developed a strong sense of camaraderie, Dabi has remained distant from most of them. He has admitted that he does not care about Tomura or the rest of the League and that the value he places on them comes mostly from their ability to fulfill his ambitions. This selfish way of thinking makes Dabi an extreme sociopath. 🔪
After the revelation of his identity and childhood, Dabi reveals his most sadistic and unhinged side, expressing a mad, gloating expression as he confronts his father and youngest brother. 😈 His sadism and vengeance fully renewed, Dabi revels in any pain he can cause Endeavor, as he showed when he attacked Nejire Chan with his Alter and gloated that another child's future had been burned by Endeavor's flames. His show also showed his true belief in heroes, that they use their good deeds to hide and justify all their sins, and use the public's admiration for them to do so.

Dabi is also aware of his own insanity and does not seem averse to the idea of committing suicide if it will kill his father or hurt him further, as evidenced by Dabi's and Shoto's attempt to immolate themselves during the Paranormal Liberation War. He also expresses the fact that he can no longer feel anything, not even towards his family, which reinforces Dabi's apathy and disdain for all life forms.
Crematorium powers
General Abilities : Trained by his father, Endeavor, at a young age, and self-taught, Dabi proved to be a very powerful villain, one of the strongest members of the League of Villains' Genesis Action Squad, as well as its de facto leader. After joining the League, Dabi has killed over thirty people, building a reputation as a dangerous criminal and mass murderer. Dabi is in full control of his powerful but dangerous alter, which not only allows him to control his self-generated blue flames, which are more powerful than normal flames, but also has a long range. 🏹 Dabi fights primarily from a distance, firing fireballs, generating flamethrower attacks, and releasing bursts of fire when at close range. His basic attack is to use the brute force of his Alter to overwhelm his enemies. On defense, Dabi can burn off attacks and even generate huge walls of fire to surround his targets. With this skill and power, he can incinerate an entire group of opponents in seconds. Overall, Dabi has the power and ingenuity to deal with a multitude of opponents who outnumber him.
The immense power and range of Dabi's Alter has allowed him to fend off the Bakugo escort during the Genesis Action Squad invasion, fight several members of the Paranormal Liberation Army and come out unscathed, and even face and sometimes overpower Geten, one of their strongest members. These feats are all the more impressive because Dabi never used his fire techniques in these encounters. 🔥
Dabi's control over his powerful Alter also allows him to fly and glide through the air, like his father and younger brother. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Dabi began using his father's Flashfire Fist techniques in combat and was able to not only instantly burn the Jeanist's carbon fibers, but also completely and easily overpower Shoto, who could also use Flashfire. The disparity in their abilities was so great that Dabi could knock him out with a single Jet Burn.
Increased Stamina: Despite his disheveled body and the disadvantages of his Alter, Dabi is efficient enough to endure battles where heavy injury is imminent. Notably, when his own flames begin to eat away at his body from being used, Dabi continues to fight and use his volatile alter, ignoring the probable self-creation he may suffer.
Keen Intellect: Possessing good judgment, Dabi is a very keen individual, observing everything around him, whether it be reading someone's intentions or weaknesses. Dabi is also known to psychologically engage his enemies, questioning their motives and morality during combat. This is quite a tactical maneuver to buy time as it complements Dabi's weakness, his flames hurting his own body in the long run. In his first encounter with Tomura Shigaraki, the pyrokinetic easily identified Tomura's personality instability. During the Genesis invasion, he hatched a plan to have Twice-created copies of himself distract Eraser Head and Vlad King, while simultaneously using his flames to trap numerous U.A. students in the Beast's forest.🌳
Dabi's machinations may have caused three casualties to the Vanguard Action Squad, but they achieved the goal of capturing Katsuki Bakugo. During the foray into the forest, one of Dabi's clones broke through Eraser Head's stoic nature with a single glance. After the League captured Katsuki, Tomura wanted Dabi to remove her bonds, but Dabi refused, knowing that Katsuki would launch a surprise attack once released, which proved to be true after Twice removed Katsuki's bonds.
While fighting Snatch on a highway, 🛣 Dabi effortlessly deduced and exploited the limitations of the sandy hero's alter. Through this exploitation and the help of Mr.Compress, Dabi expressed that the lingering flames will kill the compressed Snatch, since the Hero Pro can only turn his upper body into sand. Once the Revival festival was underway, where he was ambushed by Geten, Dabi, with insight, assessed that the ice wielder was a very strong opponent, all before their fight began. While subduing Hawks at the Gunga Mountain villa, Dabi revealed that he had suspected the wing hero of being the P.L.F. traitor, and therefore chose not to trust Hawks for the entire time they knew each other.
To ensure Twice's escape, and knowing that he could not keep up with Hawks' speed, Dabi threw Twice off balance by announcing the hero's civilian name: Keigo Takami. Dabi quickly explained that he got this information by looking into Hawks' and the League of Villains' backgrounds, but that no details were available about anyone other than Tomura and Hawks. After Tsukuyomi's intervention, Dabi knew that Jet-Black Hero would try to escape quickly, so he intentionally decreased the power of his fire attacks in order to have enough energy for his new propulsion ability. 💥
Dabi's most notable form of guerrilla warfare was uploading his pre-recorded story for broadcast to the world, while revealing his true identity as Toya Todoroki to Endeavor and Shoto. In addition to explaining his abusive childhood, his relationship with Endeavor, and Endeavor's ambitions, Dabi also confessed to orchestrating his father's meetings with Hood, Starservant, and Ending in order to discredit his father, a fact that sent Shoto into a rage. 😡 Another nail in the coffin was Dabi's disclosure of part of Hawks' history, with the wing hero being both the son of a serial criminal Endeavor had previously apprehended, and the person responsible for the deaths of Twice and Tsunagu Hakamata, with murder being an act heroes don't usually commit. These revelations were implemented to instill despair in Endeavor, as well as to take away people's faith in heroes, which was successful in both cases.
Alter of Crematorium
Cremation: Dabi's Alter gives him the ability to generate highly destructive blue flames from his body. He has great control over his flames and can project them a good distance away from him and in large quantities. In addition, his flames possess more firepower than his father, Endeavor's hellfire alter, and they become even more powerful when Dabi experiences strong emotions. 🤬 However, Dabi's body has a low tolerance for his own flames, as he inherited his mother's resistance to freezing temperatures, rather than his father's resistance to high heat, and he will get burned if he uses them for extended periods of time.
Super-movements
Flash Fire Fist: Endeavor's signature technique, later passed on to Dabi himself. Dabi raises the temperature of his fire to its highest level and maximizes its power. This allows Dabi to launch devastating attacks or increase his speed dramatically. ⚡
Flashfire Fist - Jet Burn: This attack allows Dabi to fire a blast of fire at any target he wishes. This attack is quite powerful, as it was shown to severely injure Shoto, rendering him unconscious. Dabi used this move against his younger brother during the war against the Paranormal Liberation Front. Unlike his father, Dabi only draws his fire rather than making direct contact with his opponent.🔥
Prominence Burn: This attack allows Dabi to fire a massive, concentrated beam of fire from his entire body, capable of vaporizing his target.Dabi almost used this move at full power against Endeavor but was intercepted by the sudden arrival of Best Jeanist on the battlefield. 🦸♂️
The past of Dabi
Seeking to have a child capable of surpassing All Might, Enji Todoroki accepted an Alter marriage with Rei Himura. At the age of 22, his first child, Toya Todoroki, was born prematurely. Although he did not inherit his parents' Alters, Toya was born with a fire Alter more powerful than Enji's own Hellflame, so when the time came, his father would train him. Later that year, his sister Fuyumi Todoroki was born. 👶🏻
From a young age, Toya was constantly trained by his father and the young boy was actually very eager to learn all of his father's moves so that he could one day become a great hero. Although none of his children carried the ideal alter he hoped for, Enji was pleased with Toya and saw him as capable of surpassing All Might with his one powerful fire Alter, so he placed his ambitions on his shoulders.
The situation changed dramatically when Toya's red hair began to turn white and his body suffered burns every time he used his Alter. Enji and Rei went to see an Alter doctor to find out what was wrong with him. The doctor explained that Toya inherited a powerful fire-based alter from his father, but he also inherited his mother's resistance to freezing cold, rather than his father's resistance to scorching heat, which meant that he would get burned every time he used his flames. Because of this, Toya was limited in the limits he could reach with his Alter. 😨
Enji considered him a failure and suddenly stopped training him.❌ Toya, despite his Alter's dangerous flaw, still wanted to be a pro Hero when he grew up. He began to beg his father to continue training him, but Enji refused, saying it was for his well-being, but Toya was not happy. Later, he talked to his sister Fuyumi and told her that he could tolerate the pain and burns, but little Fuyumi told Toya that she was also worried that he would be hurt. His words offended Toya, who shouted that she didn't understand him because she was a girl and left, saying that her father was the one who lit the fire in him to overcome All Might.
Toya started training on his own, although his father and sister tried to convince him to stop.🛑 Enji lamented that his son had also inherited his stubbornness and decided to have more children until he conceived a successor that could live up to his ambitions. Rei said that his idea was too cruel, especially considering that Toya finally realized what he wanted to accomplish through their children, but Enji considered that this plan would finally make Toya give up his obsession.
Years passed, and Enji and Rei had more children. This eventually led to the conception of Natsuo, which caused Toya to begin to sink into despair as Endeavor's desire to surpass All Might continued to grow. Finally, Shoto Todoroki was born, having inherited a perfect combination of both his parents' quirks. Enji had finally conceived the longed-for heir he had been seeking, but Toya despaired even more, for Shoto's birth meant that all of his purpose and his father's awareness and attention had just been taken away. However, Toya was still determined to fulfill his father's dream and refused to give it up. He continued to train on his own, and then started to go to Sekoto Peak, where his father used to train. 🥊
Enji told Toya to stop training secretly because he was covered in burns and told him to look beyond the hero world and do things like play with his siblings or make friends at school, saying that he can understand that and one day it will all be a distant memory. Toya, however, with tears in his eyes, told his father that everyone at school wants to be a hero himself, and that he couldn't understand what it's like to give up because he has him as a father. Enji lit the fire in him to overcome All Might and it won't go out, just as he calls him by his hero name rather than "father".

Their argument drew Rei and the rest of the children to where they are. Demoralized, Toya tells his father to look at him, as he violently attacks his mother carrying an infant Shoto with his activated flames, attempting to hurt his younger brother. He is stopped before he can hurt anyone, but after Toya's outburst, Enji decides to forbid the other siblings from interacting with Shoto so he can focus on his training and entrusts Rei to watch over Toya. When Rei says that all Toya wants is for his father to acknowledge him, Enji replies that all he can show anyone is the world of heroes 🦸♂️, to which Rei scathingly replies that he is just running away from his problems.
Over the next few years, Toya developed what seems to be a great relationship with her siblings, they were always together and they always played together. This is especially true of her brother, Natsuo, but they were raised separately from their younger brother, Shoto. Similarly, his father's traumatic abuse and subsequent abandonment took a strong emotional and mental toll on Toya, and he would often visit his brother Natsuo with tears in his eyes, wondering why he existed. 😭
Five years have passed since the incident, and Enji decided to train Shoto, preventing him from playing with his older siblings despite his pleas. Toya, aged 13, saw them and gave them a hateful look. 👀 Later that night, he confided in Natsuo his inner doubts, acknowledging that it was his fault for attacking Shoto, who had done nothing wrong, but ranting about his feelings toward their father and how he considers the rest of his children "failed creations," wondering if the only thing heroes did was make children and throw them away when they didn't need them. Natsuo, however, just wanted to sleep, and suggested that Toya talk to Fuyumi from time to time, Toya was hurt by the implication that Natsuo was pushing him away too, explaining that he was the only one Toya could talk to.
One day, when he was about to leave to train at Sekoto Peak 🏔, Rei tried to dissuade him and make him think if he really wanted to become a hero, assuring him that there were other options than the hero world. Toya was infuriated by her mother's words, yelling at her and asking if she had read any self-help books lately. His statements leave Rei surprised as he continues his rant, saying that he already knows that she only married Enji because her family was poor and that's the only reason he was born, putting the blame for his problems on her shoulders as well.
Toya continued to train at Sekoto Peak, and during the winter season when he had a growth spurt, his Alter developed, and the color of his flames changed from red to blue.🔵 Toya discovered that his flames are related to his emotional state and become stronger if he is upset. He started crying saying he didn't know why he did it when he was upset. Soon after, excited to show his father how he had developed, Toya asked him to come to Sekoto Peak the next time he had a day off. Enji, however, lifted his shirt and saw his burn scars, angry that Toya had been training again, but his son was adamant that he was destined for greatness and determined to make his father proud. Frustrated, Enji ignored his oldest son's pleas and lashed out at Rei for not stopping Toya.
Some time later, Toya waited for his father at Sekoto Peak, but Endeavor never came, much to Toya's disappointment and anguish. The emotional turmoil he felt caused him to lose control of his flames, resulting in a massive forest fire. Toya tried to save himself, but he did not know how to extinguish his flames, as his father had only taught him how to increase the heat. He was burned by flames exceeding 2,000 degrees Celsius 🥵 it is believed that his body was cremated, and the only thing that was found was part of his jaw.
Her "death" affected her family, especially her mother Rei, whose mental state had already been severely affected by her husband's past abuse, and her brother Natsuo, who still considers his father responsible for Toya's disappearance. Toya's family set up a Butsudan Buddhist altar in her old room after her death and still send her prayers. Even Enji is seen praying there, saying that he regrets the loss of his eldest son. 😔
However, Toya did not die but was left with severe burns and grew up without his family knowing the truth. 🤫 Toya's traumatic childhood abuse caused him to become a villain, renaming himself Dabi and dyeing his hair black to hide his true identity. Over the years, Dabi has secretly watched his father's actions from afar. Accepting his new life as a villain, Dabi slowly hatched a plan to ruin Enji's life by destroying his career as a hero.
Synopsis
Vs. Hero Killer Arc
Dabi watches a public broadcast about the news of the hero killer's capture. 👮🏻♂️ Inspired by Stain's ideology, Dabi decides to get close to the organization that was thought to be championing Stain's cause: the League of Villains.
Arc of the final exams
Giran brings Dabi and Himiko Toga to the League of Villains' hideout. Dabi points out that the group's leader, Tomura Shigaraki, looks rude. Tomura is unhappy with the recruits and immediately asks Kurogiri to eliminate them. Kurogiri refuses and Giran introduces Dabi as a criminal who has not committed any flashy crimes but follows Stain's ideology. Dabi says he's not sure of the league's motives and asks if they would really let a crazy girl like Himiko join them. 👱🏻♀️
Tomura notices that she introduced herself and asks Dabi for her name, but he says he won't reveal it until later. Dabi goes on to say that he will make the hero killer's will a reality. Tomura is very irritated by Dabi and Himiko's comments about Stain, to the point of attacking them. Dabi and Himiko prepare to defend themselves, but Kurogiri intervenes and uses his alter to prevent them from coming to blows. Tomura leaves in a hurry while Dabi complains about his attitude. Kurogiri asks Giran and the recruits to wait for a proper response at a later date. 📆
Arch of the training camp in the forest
Dabi is eventually recruited into the League of Villains and tasked with leading a team of elite villains called Genesis Squadron. Tomura purchases equipment for the team and asks them to retrieve it from an unknown warehouse. ❓
Dabi agrees and says that Tomura acted like a brat and an attacker in their first meeting, but now he's suddenly taking charge. Dabi proclaims that their mission will be a wake-up call that will knock the fake heroes off their resplendent pedestal and bring them back down to earth to create a new future for the world. 🌍
The next day, Dabi and six other villains secretly arrive at the Wild, Wild Pussycats forest preserve where U.A. High School students train. Team Genesis observes the camp from a high vantage point. 📷 The group members begin to argue about their next move, so Dabi tells them to be quiet. Dabi announces that the League of Villains' first task is to take away the students' sense of security.
The Vanguard Action Squad begins its assault the next night. Dabi uses his power to set the Forest of the Beast ablaze with blue fire. Dabi keeps the fire going while the other villains search for Katsuki Bakugo, who is their target. Twice makes clones of Dabi so that he can distract the U.A. professors. Dabi waits outside the base camp building and attacks Eraser Head by surprise on his way out. He blasts Eraser Head with an explosion of blue flames, but the hero escapes and wipes out Dabi's power by looking at him. He overpowers the villain and tackles him to the ground before interrogating him for information about his allies. Dabi refuses to comply and frees himself once some students arrive. Eraser Head goes to restrain Dabi again, but the clone disappears as Dabi taunts him, leaving Eraser Head shocked. 😲
Dabi tells Twice that the clone was defeated too quickly. Twice rejects Dabi's assertion. He comically argues until Dabi orders him to make another clone to keep the Heroes at bay. The clone attacks the base camp again. He blows up one of the classrooms and is quickly overpowered by the Blood Hero: Vlad King. The clone harasses Vlad King until Eraser Head arrives and destroys him. 👊🏻
Mr. Compress manages to capture Katsuki, compressing him into a marble alongside Fumikage Tokoyami, and radioing the team to meet. Twice complains and Dabi says that Mr. Compress did a good job. Dabi seems to notice Yuga Aoyama hiding behind a bush, but before he can act, Twice reminds him to call Nomu back. Twice had to remind Dabi to drop Nomu on the students earlier. Dabi remembers that Nomu was designed for him and will only react to his voice. He then signals to Nomu as he and Twice walk to the meeting place.
Dabi and Twice first meet Himiko. Dabi asks how her mission went and Himiko replies that she was only able to collect one blood sample. As Twice and Himiko begin to banter, Dabi tells them to be quiet and notices a trio of students attacking Mr. Compress: Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji. 🧊
Dabi, unimpressed by this entry, orders Mr. Compress to step aside and he does so by using his Compress Alter on himself. Dabi throws a fireball that burns Mezo and Izuku. 🔥 The other villains attack the students and Mr. Compress signals to give the captured students to Dabi. He wanted to keep their compressed marble bodies in his pocket, but Mezo stole them.
Kurogiri arrives to evacuate the bad guys as their objective is achieved. Dabi refuses to leave without Katsuki, but Mr. Compress assures him that he was hiding the real marbles the whole time. Hiding in the shadows, Yuga shoots Mr. Compress in the face and he drops the marbles from his mouth. Mezo is able to retrieve Fumikage, but Dabi secures Katsuki's marble before Shoto can get to him. Dabi laughs at Shoto's attempt and orders Mr. Compress to confirm Katsuki's body. Katsuki returns to her normal body with Dabi's hand around her neck. Dabi announces checkmate and the bad guys disappear into the portal. 🌌
Arc Raid vs. Alliance of Super-Villains
Having completed their mission, Dabi and the Vanguard Action Team return to the hideout. They overpower Katsuki and bring him before Tomura.
Tomura tells Katsuki about the League of Villains' goal of reforming the hero society. Then he asks Dabi to remove his bonds. Dabi claims that Katsuki will fight, but Tomura asks him to do it anyway. Dabi orders Twice to remove the bonds, then Katsuki immediately hits Tomura in the face with an explosion. Katsuki tells the League that he will never join them because he wants to be a Hero like All Might. 🦸♂️
Magne comments that Katsuki is smart for realizing his own value to the bad guys. Dabi argues that he's a fool for fighting. Tomura hands over the fallen hands and asks that no one hurt Katsuki. Tomura asks All For One to lend him his power and then orders Mr. Compress to hold Katsuki back. 🧨
The League of Villains is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of what appears to be a pizza delivery. Then All Might suddenly bursts through the opposite wall with Sylvester God and he holds all the villains with his lacquered chain prison technique. Dabi tries to free himself from the wooden bonds by lighting his flames, but Gran Torino arrives and stops Dabi by knocking him out with a swift kick to the head. 🦶
Dabi and the other villains are saved when All For One transports them to the destroyed Nomu factory. All For One activates the Alter of the unconscious Kurogiri and orders the League of Villains to capture Katsuki and retreat. Mr. Compress uses his Alter to compress Dabi's body into a ball. All the villains are forced to flee the battlefield when All For One uses the power of Magne to force them into the portal.
Bow Kai Chisaki
Three weeks after the battle of Kamino, the League of Villains splits up to hide and recruit like-minded individuals. Dabi enters an alley, hoping to find recruits. 🌆
The low-life thugs threaten to kill Dabi and he recognizes that they are just weak thugs. He tells them to get out of his way and burns them all to death with his alter. Dabi mocks them by declaring that they are scum and the least they can do is become kindling for his flames.
While occupied with these matters, Tomura and other members of the League of Villains have a clandestine meeting with the current leader of the Shie Hassaikai, Overhaul. A series of differences of opinion lead to a confrontation between them that ends with the death of Magne and the loss of an arm by Mr. Compress. In spite of this, Dabi is present at the meeting during which Tomura informs them that they are going to form an alliance with the chief Kai Chisake. Dabi doesn't say anything, but Twice and Himiko are unhappy with this decision, but Tomura assures them that it is for the good of the League, and that the time will come when they can avenge Magne and Mr. Compress. 🏆
A few days later, the Overhaul compound is assaulted by the heroes, and with the help of Twice and Himiko, they manage to defeat the entire organization and arrest its members. In the aftermath of the Overhaul raid, Dabi accompanies Tomura, Spinner and Mr. Compress on their mission to confront the defeated Overhaul. Tomura claims that his plan is as simple as a game of Shogi. Dabi claims that Shogi is not so simple.
The League of Villains engages a police convoy carrying Overhaul inside one of the trucks while he is restrained and tied to a medical bed. Dabi tells Spinner to stop driving erratically because it gives him motion sickness. He keeps his cool and attacks the convoy with a large flamethrower jet, which causes the Sand Hero: Snatch to appear in one of the trucks. 🚚
Dabi recognizes Snatch as a powerful hero as Tomura fights him. He also notes that Tomura's infamy has made him far too famous. Tomura smashes several trucks against each other while Dabi confronts Snatch himself. He mocks Snatch for being a hero who must always step in to save others. Snatch recognizes Dabi as the villain associated with a series of murders where the bodies were burned. Dabi admits that he is excited to hear about his notoriety.
Snatch attacks Dabi with a sand tiger move and Dabi counters with a large explosion of fire.💥 While Snatch is distracted, Mr. Compress uses his power to trap him in a log with Dabi's flames. Mr. Compress accidentally gets burned and then asks Dabi if Snatch's sand can burn. Dabi thinks that Snatch can only turn his upper body into sand and that he will probably die during the compression.
Tomura retaliates against Overhaul by destroying his arms. Spinner warns his allies that police reinforcements will soon arrive. Dabi, Mr. Compress and Tomura return to the truck as the flames of their destruction burn in the background.
Heroes' bow pro
Dabi is assigned to test one of Doctor Ujiko's high-end Nomu. At Hidamari Nursery School, on the same day as the release of the Hero Billboard Chart JP, Dabi tells High-End "Hood" that this is the first intelligent Nomu and that he expects good results. Hood attacks Pro Heroes #1 and #2: Endeavor and Hawks. Dabi watches from the city limits as Endeavor narrowly wins their fight. With both Heroes injured from their fight and before they can call for help, Dabi confronts them himself and greets Endeavor. 👋🏻
Dabi confronts the two heroes and traps them in a wall of fire. Endeavor recognizes Dabi as the villain who murdered Snatch and Dabi claims he has no idea who he is talking about. Dabi tells Endeavor that he wants to talk while they have the chance. Hawks stands up to Dabi and Dabi says he wouldn't try to defeat the two top heroes alone. Dabi then says that they are both at death's door and decides to attack, that's when Mirko interrupts him and attacks Dabi from above. His fearsome kick keeps him at bay, making Dai aware of his disadvantage. Dabi then calls Ujiko to use her alter to make him leave. Before leaving, Dabi calls Endeavor by his real name and tells him not to die. ❌
Afterwards, Dabi meets with Hawks to discuss the Nomu attack. Hawks is angry with Dabi for not following their original plan and holds a blade to his neck. Unperturbed, Dabi replies that Hawks was not supposed to bring someone as powerful as Endeavor. He questions how few casualties there were in the battle, insisting that a sympathizer of the villains would not have acted so heroically.
Hawks explains that he must keep a heroic appearance for the public in order to make himself more useful to the League of Villains. Understanding, Dabi walks away and tells Hawks that he cannot meet their leader yet, but will contact him again in the future.
As he heads to the harbor, Dabi remembers Snatch and is apparently moved by the hero's last words to him. Dabi says that thinking about all the families he touched almost drove him crazy. He wipes some blood from the patch under his eye as if he were crying.
Arc of the release of super powers
The League of Villains has seen better days. They are barely getting by, with no funds, and have had to resort to robbing other criminal groups and living in a run-down building. Rather than participating in robberies, Dabi spends his time trying to recruit new members. He returns to his filthy hideout and blames his allies for doing nothing.
Twice responds that Dabi burns everyone he meets.🔥 Dabi claims he burns them because they are unambitious trash and Himiko mocks him for being a poor judge of character. Spinner confronts Tomura about the state of the League and admits that he's only here to fill his empty heart with a new purpose. Dabi mocks him by saying he's just a hollow Stain cosplayer.
They are interrupted by an intense rumble that brings the villains outside. The League of Villains come face to face with a giant who claims to be looking for the successor to All For One. Dabi questions the identity of this titan and Tomura claims it is the secret weapon that Kurogiri was captured trying to retrieve. The giant quickly overpowers the League, while the voice of the All For One doctor is broadcast through the beast's radio, hanging from its neck. 🔊
The Doctor explains that the giant's name is Gigantomachia and that he is All For One's former bodyguard. Gigantomachia went into hiding before All For One's defeat and the Doctor says that this encounter was part of his plan. Dabi replies that the big guy isn't exactly a generous gift and lights his flames. Dabi causes Gigantomachia to explode into blue flames. Shocked, Dabi watches the giant sweep the fire away while Himiko tells him that his attack didn't work.
A recording of All For One's voice soothes Gigantomachia and calms him. The Doctor teleports the League back to his lair using Kamino's warping power. Dabi immediately notices the Nomu housed in the lab. The Doctor praises Dabi's sharp eye and introduces himself as Daruma Ujiko. Annoyed, Dabi asks why the League is at the lair and the Doctor replies that they have to prove themselves if they want his support. 👍🏻
In response, Tomura explains his past and why he wants to destroy everything. Annoyed, Dabi stays away with the others who don't seem to understand Tomura's distortion. The Doctor accepts Tomura but will not fully support the League until it defeats Gigantomachia. Dabi refuses to help him because he wants to spend more time recruiting a potential ally. Tomura says he is eager to see who he brings in and the Doctor tells Dabi that he can help test a High-End for him.
Following this, the High-End Hood's attack on Endeavor and Hawks takes place. Nearly a month and a half later, Dabi contacts Hawks by phone, and gives hero number 2 one last mission to prove himself to the League: he must kill a specific person. 🔪
A few days later, while Dabi is hiding on the border between Iwe and Shiga, Re-Destro, leader and grand commander of the Power Liberation League, contacts Tomura. Re-Destro informs him that they have captured and tortured his broker Giran in order to find them, as the ALM considers Tomura and his allies a threat to their plans. For this reason, he declares war on the League, and informs them that if they don't surrender to Deika Ciry to confront them, they will use their influence so that they have to face a force of Heroes. 🦸♀️
Tomura accepts the challenge and orders the Doctor to teleport everyone to Deika City, where the confrontation is to take place. Dabi is also teleported to Deika City and gathers with the others for a war against the Meta Liberation Army. ❌ Dabi is annoyed that they dragged him into their mission to retrieve Giran and this makes Twice angry. Himiko notices someone approaching the group and Dabi readies his flames. It is actually an escort, the pro hero Sliding Go.
Sliding Go leads the villains through the seemingly abandoned city where they end up meeting Koku Hanabata and Chitose Kizuki, two high ranking army officials. Koku launches the celebration of the rebirth of the liberation army and dozens of citizens suddenly ambush the bad guys. 🦹♂️
Dabi seems to avoid direct combat while dodging various alters targeting the League. Spinner notes that no matter how many warriors are defeated, they keep coming in waves. Dabi replies that Spinner has not yet defeated any of them. Koku Hanabata uses his campaign van to announce that Chitose has perished from Himiko's hands. The warriors are enraged and throw themselves at Tomura, who counterattacks by killing them all with a single blow.
Impressed, Dabi realizes that it is time for him to fight seriously when suddenly a hooded man tries to crush him with two giant ice gauntlets. Dabi avoids him and admits that he has gotten stronger and can now recognize at a glance that this new fighter is also tough. 👊🏻 Geten asks Dabi why he hasn't used his wide range of flames to attack yet, suggesting that something is wrong with his abilities.
Dabi smiles and counterattacks with a wave of flames that melts his opponent's ice.🥶 The ice warrior collects ice from all the nearby buildings and gathers it into a huge frozen figure. He claims to have perfected his power without school all his life. Dabi taunts him for living a sad life and the elements of their alters collide, splitting the battlefield.
The blue flames prove to be more ferocious and have the advantage over Geten's ice. Dabi taunts his opponent, calling him outclassed since his ice is gone. Mr. Compress struggles nearby against other warriors and asks for help. Dabi asks why he should help when an army of Twice clones are headed their way. The Twice fight to protect Dabi and Mr. Compress from the other warriors. Several of them decide to try to double Dabi, but Mr. Compress urges them to save some fodder for Gigantomachia's awakening. 😴
Geten eliminates much of Twice's Sad Mans' parade with an ice barrage. Confused, Dabi asks if this town specifically makes ice. The ice man explains that he can lower the city's water temperature to produce more ice. Dabi calls him obnoxious for not taking the lead in the fight, and Geten responds by saying that the Liberation Army will create a world where status will be achieved by the strength of everyone's meta ability.
Dabi thinks Geten's words about pure strength sound miserable and rudely asks him to collapse and die. The ice warrior says that Dabi will be the only one to die, because he can feel his burning body from here. Geten has observed Dabi's power and thinks that his body is not compatible with it. Dabi's blue flames are starting to eat away at his body, which means it's hard for him to fight prolonged battles. 🕐 Mr. Compress wishes they could stick the Gigantomachy on the Iceman and worries about Dabi's fate. Dr. Ujiko notices that the League is in peril and wakes up the giant early.
Despite his injuries, Dabi fights Geten in a battle of the elements. Their battle continues until both fighters are exhausted and Gigantomachia enters the city. The giant proves to be far more powerful than the army can handle and Mr. Compress realizes they were foolish to underestimate him. Mr. Compress asks Dabi to finish this battle so they can save Tomura before the giant gets to him. ⌛
Worried for his own sake, Geten flees the area and tries to stop the giant on his own, but is easily dismissed. Annoyed and fuming from his wounds, Dabi claims that he was about to burn this ice monster before he ran away. 🔥 Tomura wins against the leader of the Meta Liberation Army and destroys half the city with his Alter. Re-Destro concedes and hands over the Liberation Army to him.
The members of the League of Villains all survive the battle and recover for a week in a new mansion. Dabi reunites with Hawks and confirms that he has killed a man as requested. He's not sure if it's really Beast Jeaniste but invites him to the next meeting anyway. 💌
While eating sushi, Mr. Compress says that this is the calm after the storm. Dabi responds that Mr. Compress didn't do anything during the battle. Spinner asks Dabi for his sushi and Dabi lets him have it because he hates fish.
Dabi and all his allies are driven underground by Skeptic and Trumpet of the Liberation Army. With Tomura as their new leader, the League of Villains and the Meta Liberation Army merge to become the Paranormal Liberation Front. Dabi is one of nine lieutenants appointed by Tomura and will receive a team tailored to him. 💪🏻
Dabi then meets up with Hawks sometime after the ceremony and greets Hero #2, wondering about the latter's sudden change in mood. Hawks decides not to reveal to Dabi his true opinion towards the new formation of the Paranormal Liberation Front.
My Hero Academia : Heroes : Rising
Some time after the confrontation, Tomura and his allies get information about one of Ujiko's projects involving alter and body enhancement when they are asked to transfer an important shipment to an unknown location. The League asks Ujiko what is in the shipment, to which the Doctor simply replies that it has nothing to do with them. With that said, Dabi, Spinner and Mr. Compress are assigned to the task. Although they don't appreciate being treated like ordinary delivery people, the three agree to carry out Ujiko's request. 🚚
On a winter night, the League uses an armored truck to transfer cargo while running from a group of Heros on night duty. It turns out that information about Ujiko's project has been leaked and the Heroes have apparently formed a trap to prevent the League from escaping. When Rock Lock and his partner try to approach, Dabi pops out of one of the truck's windows and unleashes a fiery explosion directly at them. This forces Rock Lock to use Deadbolt to protect him and his partner, preventing them from continuing to pursue them. 🏃🏻♂️ The other two also fend off the Heroes, but one of them manages to get into the truck. Dabi acts quickly and brutally incinerates the Hero to death before he can do anything.
Though they manage to block their pursuers, Spinner wonders who alerted the Heroes to their escape route, to which Dabi replies that it must be an information leak.👨🏻💻 Endeavor and his small team reveal themselves at the end of the road, surprising both Spinner and Mr. Compress. Dabi, on the other hand, rejoices at Endeavor's arrival and throws another big shot at him. Endeavor counters with Flashfire Fist Jet Burn, causing both attacks to cancel each other out.
Spinner decides to speed up the truck as Dabi prepares to unleash a more powerful blast of his flames, both intending to kill Endeavor on the spot. Unimpressed by this sudden move, Endeavor asks his allies to leave the scene while he fires back with Prominence Burn, which eventually breaks Dabi's attack and consumes the truck in an explosion of flames. 🔥 The bad guys turn to mud as they are clones created by Twice. The burning truck leaves the road and crashes into a nearby forest, which turned out to be exactly where Ujiko wanted them to drop the cargo.
A few days later, the League goes to an abandoned cabin. They discuss who was inside the conveyor belt, but Dabi thinks that they were not very important, as Ujiko mentioned before. Despite their discussion, all the members (except Tomura) still don't know what was really inside the convoy. 🚛
Arc of the Endeavor agency
As the Paranormal Liberation Front prepares for the coming months, Dabi sends Starservant to wreak havoc in a nearby town. Later, Dabi and his allies (with the exception of Tomura and Geten) attend a meeting in which Hawks informs them of Endeavor's decision to take on two new trainees other than Shoto. Dabi comments that he feels the trainees have not changed since the boot camp incident. The lieutenants are also informed of Tomura's ultimate plan to destroy everything in about 4 months, once he finishes his upgrades. Then, Dabi will soon send Ending to attack Endeavor and his new trainees. 👨🏻💼
Arc of the Paranormal Liberation War
Once four months have passed, Dabi is assigned as the commander for the "Paranormal Liberation Front" alongside Geten.👻 When the Heroes launch their attack on the Paranormal Liberation Front, Dabi and the other lieutenants are unaware of the raid, until they notice that the Gunga Mountain mansion is splitting thanks to Cementoss' power.
The Paranormal Liberation Front lieutenants decide to evacuate their subordinates and send their lower-ranking advisors to fight the coming storm. While everyone else evacuates, Dabi heads to another location in the lead. Hearing Twice screaming, Dabi heads straight to the scene, knowing that Hawks has betrayed the organization.
Dabi eventually reaches the spot where Twice and Hawks are fighting. He takes the time to listen to what Hawks has to say about his role. Dabi then takes action by firing a large flamethrower to save Twice. Dabi enters the room and approaches an injured Hawks, who has been badly burned by his flames. The villain steps on Hawks' face while emitting flames from his soles, mocking the hero who makes excuses for his heroic behavior. Hawks reveals, however, that he survived Dabi's assault thanks to his wings carrying him to safety with Twice. 🦅
Dabi tells Hawks that he lost most of his feathers to the fight. Hawks blames Dabi for nearly burning his friend, but Dabi admits that heroes are expected to put their lives on the line. Dabi smugly reveals that he has never considered trusting Hawks since the beginning of his "cooperation" with the League. With that, Dabi unleashes another barrage of flames directly at the Winged Hero, causing a large explosion outside the ruined mansion.
| Discover the figure of Shoto |
Twice manages to escape Hawks' grasp and tells Dabi to continue attacking Hawks. Dabi then encourages Twice to go on a rampage and fight at full strength, praising his comrade while holding Hawks back with his flames. Unfortunately, Hawks flew out of Dabi's reach, shocking the flame villain once again. Dabi calls Hawks by his real name to catch the hero off guard, while throwing another flamethrower. This gives Twice barely enough time to escape, but Hawks delivers a fatal blow to the villain, killing him in the process. 💀
Upon realizing Twice is dead, Dabi lashes out at Hawks, sarcastically mocking the hero for killing his comrade. Dabi continues to hit Hawks with all the rage and anger he has in him. Hawks wonders why Dabi is smiling when he witnessed Twice's death. Dabi reveals that he can't cry because he burned his tear glands in the past and that he is upset about Twice's death because he was needed to fulfill his own dream. 😥 Hawks then asks for Dabi's true identity, to which the villain replies in a sinister tone. Dabi reveals that he never cared about Shigaraki or the League. All he cared about was implementing Stain's ideology and spreading it around the world. As the villain prepares to burn Hawks, Dabi is repelled by the timely arrival of Tsukuyomi.
Dabi tells Fumikage that it is pathetic that the U.A. forced his students to go to the battlefield and cruelly points out that Hawks murdered Twice while Twice was trying to protect his friends. This shocks Fumikage to the core. Dabi then asks Fumikage why he is here and mocks him for admiring a Hero who is much dirtier than the Villains. However, Fumikage refuses to weaken to Dabi's words, which makes Dabi understand the situation. Dabi prepares his flames as Fumikage prepares Dark Shadow to try and get him and Hawks to safety.
The villain pulls out a large flamethrower to burn the two Heroes, nearly burning Fumikage to death in the process. Hawks, barely conscious, tells Fumikage that Dabi will continue to talk because his taunts serve to recharge his flames, telling his trainee to leave. Fumikage sends Dark Shadow to attack Dabi but the attack is missed. Dabi then jumps and uses his flames on his feet to glide down and chase Fumikage and Hawks. Noticing that his teacher is unconscious, Fumikage tries to use Black Fallen Angel but Dabi appears in front of them hovering. He is about to reduce them to ashes by saying that he saw Hawks' betrayal coming. However, their skirmish is interrupted by Geten's sudden ice attack, allowing Fumikage and Hawks to escape. 🏃🏻♂️
Soon after, Dabi joins Mr. Compress just as the villains begin to strike back at the heroes. Dabi asks Mr. Compress where the other PLF members are, to which Mr. Compress replies that he was supposed to be with the other lieutenants. The flame villain admits that the entire regiment never worked due to the sudden attack by the Heroes, suggesting that they should escape for now. Mr. Compress then reveals that he witnessed Twice's death, causing Himiko to lose her temper. Dabi silently watches as Himiko kills other heroes in revenge for his friend's death. 😡
When Gigantomachia begins to act under Tomura's orders, Dabi is among the other FPL lieutenants who ride on the behemoth's back. As Gigantomachia tries to break through Mount Lady, who is trying to hold him back, the bad guys discuss what happened when he suddenly caught them all. Dabi deduces that Tomura woke up, otherwise Gigantomachia wouldn't even move. While talking, Dabi restrains a distraught Skeptic who tries to escape from the behemoth.
Gigantomachia decides to take a shortcut to get to Tomura faster, throws Mt. Lady by the foot and heads for his destination. Kamui Woods and Midnight try to intervene but Kamui gets sprayed by a jet of flames, offered by Dabi himself. Midnight manages to assist the League on the back of Gigantomachia but ends up crashing into a group of construction debris released by Mr. Compress.
With the Pros chasing them out of the way, Gigantomachia and the League continue to escape while an injured Mt. Lady and the Sylvester God struggle to drag him to the ground. However, their escape is interrupted by the Raid Villa rescue team, who eventually send Gigantomachia crashing to the ground with his Alters. The villains then notice several students charging directly at them. Kyoka tries to attack with her Amplifier Jack but Dabi blows them away with her flames, forcing her to retract them. Denki follows up by firing several of her discs near the villains' positions, but due to Reiko throwing it at the wrong angle, it is knocked over by Mr. Compress' remaining building debris. 🏢
Gigantomachia opens his mouth, almost allowing the students to throw out the sedatives, only for the behemoth to blow most of them away with his breath. Dabi releases more of his flames to hold the remaining students on the battlefield, causing more steam to come out of his body. He then comments that he has heard that having multiple alters allows the user to stay more active in battle, a trait that Gigantomachia possesses. However, Red Riot manages to climb onto Gigantomachia's arm and throws the sedative into his mouth, just as another group of Heros join the fray. 🦸♂️ Still, Gigantomachia manages to crush the pro Heros and escapes without a scratch. The behemoth ends up running through several cities, destroying everything in its path, followed by the remaining members of the FPL.
As Gigantomachia finally arrives at Tomura's location and protects him from the combined attacks of Neijire and Shoto, Dabi appears from behind the giant villain to announce his arrival to the heroes on the ground, pleasantly realizing that Endeavor and Shoto are there. Endeavor angrily shouts Dabi's name, but the villain retaliates by telling Endeavor to call him by another name: Toya. Endeavor and Shoto are frozen in shock when Dabi removes his dye to reveal his white hair and his identity as Endeavor's eldest son. 🔥 Dabi goes on to say that he has been watching Endeavor all this time and has begun broadcasting his past to the world to discredit his father, all the while telling Endeavor about the terrible pain he endured as a child, wondering why he existed. His original plan was to kill Shoto when he became a hero, but after Endeavor took the top spot, Dabi decided to send multiple threats, such as Hood, Starservant, and Ending in his father's place. He then asks Endeavor if he feels good now that he is the number one hero and can now look at his children with pride. He yells that Endeavor is wrong to believe that he can move on, and that the past never dies, while mocking his father and telling him to dance together in this hellhole.
Endeavor refuses to believe him, saying that Dabi is telling a despicable lie, but the villain replies that it is the despicable truth, telling them to take some of his blood or saliva for a DNA test to be sure. At the same time, Dabi reveals his blood tests on his show to confirm his identity as Endeavor's son while continuing to deride his father as a man who completely lacks empathy. The show then shows doctored footage of Hawks killing Twice to make it appear that hero number two ruthlessly killed a man trying to save his friends and portray him as a murderer, while also revealing that Hawks killed Best Jeanist, hero number three. Dabi also reveals Hawks' past: Hawks' father was a serial thief and murderer who was ironically stopped by Endeavor. The villain derides the heroes as individuals who only care about themselves and use others to promote themselves. Dabi thanks Endeavor for standing his ground so far, then jumps down, preparing to take out his father and the others with his Prominence Burn, but before he can do so, he is immobilized by wires. He looks up and is surprised to see hero number three, who he thought was dead, fall from the sky.💀
Dabi is surprised by the arrival of the hero, he who thought him dead. 💀 Best Jeanist tells him that he has outgrown his ambitions and will now fall apart like inferior denim. Dabi, however, says that even if Best Jeanist is alive, that doesn't sweep the hard truth about the Todoroki family under the rug. Nejire Chan, meanwhile, tries to hit Tomura, but unfortunately gets blown away by Dabi's flames as he burns through the wires, much to the horror of Shoto and the others. As she falls from the sky, Dabi tells Endeavor that once again, another child with a bright future has been burned by her flames as he breaks free of his bonds. Shoto desperately begs Dabi to stop. As Shoto clashes with his brother, he reveals to Dabi that one of the villains he sent on his way to Endeavor almost killed Natsuo, the one he claimed to mourn every day. Dabi, however, simply says that it's too bad he didn't die, because then Endeavor would have suffered more. An incredulous Shoto asks his brother if he is crazy, and Dabi confirms that he no longer feels anything. He starts to push Shoto away, excited at the idea of finally being able to kill his little brother.
In a final confrontation, as Shoto attempts to use Flashfire Fist: Jetburn on Dabi, Dabi responds with a larger and more powerful version of the same attack that overwhelms and knocks out his younger brother.👦🏻 He sarcastically apologizes to him and leaves the battlefield because killing Shoto now would be pointless for Dabi if Endeavor is about to pass out and is not yet completely broken. He then encounters Mr. Compress who uses his atler on him and Skeptic and puts him in Spinner's sling so he can escape with the rest of the league. The Heroes try to stop the remaining members of the league without Gigantomachia, Himiko, Mr. Compress and Skeptic from escaping with the surviving Near High-Ends, but all is in vain as they continue to escape the battlefield.
| Discover the figure of Shigaraki Tomura |
After the league manages to escape to one of their lairs, Dabi is later seen sitting next to All For One (possessing Shigaraki) who is rejoicing in the series of escapes he has caused throughout Japan. He then asks Dabi and Spinner to stand guard while he lets Shigaraki's body rest. 💤
Two days later, Dabi is lying on a couch in the former mansion of the Creature Rejection Clan, contemplating his own burn scars and commenting on how they've gotten worse while he feels no different. 😈
Later, watching his father give a speech, Dabi is disappointed that he didn't completely break his father's resolve after his father revealed to the world his abuse of his family, laughing at not having gone far enough.
Dabi's family
Enji Todoroki
The hero of Flame Endeavor is Dabi's father. Dabi seems to resent Enji a great deal for rejecting him in the past and feeling that he was used as a tool. In fact, Enji's violence towards him seems to be the main reason for his fall into nastiness. 👿
At first, Toya's relationship with his father was relatively healthy; Endeavor didn't seem to subject his eldest son to as much hard training as he did with Shoto and spoke with Toya in a more casual manner, and Toya was also very excited to learn all of his father's moves. However, when Endeavor was informed by a doctor that Toya's body gave him resistance to freezing temperatures, he realized that his son would not be able to surpass All Might. Enji didn't want to see his son suffer serious physical injury, but despite his warnings, Toya continued to train and injure himself in the process. In an attempt to get her to give up her dream and give birth to a child with the right power, Enji had two more children until Shoto was born. This only strengthened Toya's determination to train and be recognized by her father. Enji tried his best to get Toya to give up and find something else in life, but no matter how hard he tried, Toya could not give up his dream of becoming the next number one, much to Enji's frustration and anguish.
Because he inherited his mother's weak constitution, Toya was eventually considered a failure and neglected by his father as well as his younger siblings Fuyumi and Natsuo, as Enji chose to focus his efforts solely on Shoto. 🧊 Toya was still determined that his father would recognize him, and continued to train at his Alter. After experiencing a growth spurt that gave him blue flames, Toya excitedly went to his father and asked him to come to Sekoto Peak to see a surprise, pulling his hair and crying in hopes that his improvement would make Enji happy to have created him. When his father failed to show up at Sekoto Peak, Toya was devastated and heartbroken, which caused an explosion of flames, leading to a fire in which Toya was incinerated. Toya managed to survive, however, and after being constantly abused and abandoned by Enji, Toya hid in the shadows and secretly watched Endeavor's actions from afar, planning to take revenge on him for the torment he had suffered as the villain, Dabi.
Many years later, Dabi finally confronted Endeavor after the hero had defeated High-End. Dabi greeted him and was amused that Endeavor didn't know him, even though he seemed to know a lot about him. Dabi earned his father's disgust after ignoring Snatch's murder. Dabi tried to attack the weakened Endeavor but decided to retreat when Mirko appeared on the scene, although he told his father they would meet again while angrily calling him by his real name. He then sent Starservant and Ending to make Endeavor suffer even more than before.
At the time of the Paranormal Liberation War, Dabi happily reveals his true identity as Toya to Endeavor when he reaches their location on Gigantomachia. 😲 He also reveals everything about Endeavor's past to the public out of pure hatred for his father. This deeply shocks Endeavor, so much so that he feels devastated to see his eldest child become a villain. Dabi also admits that he wants to make Endeavor suffer for the rest of his life, believing that he deserves no redemption for his past sins. Although Dabi seems to be aware of his own misdeeds, he claims that they will dance together in hell. He continues to mock and deride his father whenever possible, blaming the injuries or deaths of others on Dabi, such as when he blows up Nejire Hado with his power, to make Endeavor suffer more. Later, after successfully subduing his younger brother, but seeing that their father had passed out, Toya chose not to kill Shoto because he wanted to savor their father's pain and misery when he saw him finish his "masterpiece" and chose to retreat to prolong their father's misery.
Later, after regaining consciousness after the battle with him and Gigantomachia, Enji is shown lamenting his past abuses and abandonment of Toya and deeply regrets his past actions towards him, thankful that his eldest son managed to ruin his career as a hero. Later, Enji breaks down and admits that although he is a mass murderer, he cannot fight his eldest son. Dabi also calls him by his full name, showing his detachment from him.
Seeing his father give a speech, Dabi was disappointed that he didn't completely break his father's resolve after his father revealed to the world the abuse he was inflicting on his family. 👪
Rei Todoroki
Unlike his father, Toya seemed to be very close to his mother Rei as a child, according to Natsuo and Fuyumi. It is also mentioned by Natsuo that Toya's "death" greatly devastated Rei, whose mental state had already been severely affected by her husband's past abuse. Many years later, Rei will still think of Toya without knowing that he is still alive in the form of the evil Dabi. 🦹♂️
As their family memories show, Rei loved and cared about her eldest son very much. She became very worried about him when she learned about his body's special frost resistance and his father's firepower, and even more so when his body started to accumulate burns almost daily because he insisted on training despite this. Later, when she realized Toya's stubbornness, Rei became very distraught when her husband proposed his plan to make him "give it up," having realized that her son was already aware of what her husband wanted by having more children and that she was worried about the mental anguish he would suffer.
While Rei loved her son dearly, Toya did not share much of a bond with her. He knew the reason why his father and mother had married and knew that Rei had been sold by her family. For this reason, Toya had little regard for his mother and did not rely on her for anything, believing that she was good for nothing. When Rei tried to get Toya to reconsider what he really wanted to do in life and to look beyond his father, Toya chastised her coldly, reminding her of why she had married Enji and why he was born, and also blaming Rei for his problems.
At the time of the Paranormal Liberation War, Rei is completely horrified when Dabi reveals her true identity, that of her son whom she thought she lost many years ago. 🗓
Who is Dabi for Shoto?
Shoto is the youngest of Dabi's siblings. Shoto always watched him play with Fuyumi and Natsuo, and often wanted to join them for fun, but his father prevented any interaction between them because he had to train and become stronger. However, when Shoto was born, Toya began to feel strong animosity towards him, as he saw Shoto as the replacement for their father's dream. Driven by anger, envy and frustration, when Enji begged Toya to find another calling in life, Toya demanded that his father look at him, and angrily charged at Shoto to attack him. Toya would later deeply regret his attempt to attack Shoto, understanding that he had done nothing wrong and that he was just a baby at the time. As can be seen in his plea with his father, Toya was shown to initially view Shoto as a sort of rival to outdo All Might and gain the affection of their father.
Currently, Dabi and Shoto share an ambiguous relationship, though Shoto still seems to remember him through his memories. It is also unclear whether Shoto blames Enji for Toya's accident, as the rest of the siblings are conflicted about it.
The two brothers clash when the Vanguard action team invades the Beast's forest to kidnap Katsuki Bakugo. 💥 Looking closely at Shoto's helpless expression during their brief confrontation, Dabi taunts him for failing to save Katsuki while calling him by his real name. This suggests a sense of mockery and pity towards his brother. Shoto was also very shocked when he recognized Dabi when he revealed himself in public during his attempted attack on Endeavor and Hawks. However, he still only knew Dabi through his villain persona, not as his brother.
At the time of the Paranormal Liberation War, Dabi happily reveals his true identity as Toya to Endeavor and Shoto when he reaches their location on Gigantomachia, without any hesitation. He also admits that he originally wanted to kill Shoto once he succeeded in his heroic career, considering him Endeavor's little puppet. This revelation causes Shoto to be shocked and horrified that his older brother is a villain. Dabi doesn't even seem to consider him as a human since he calls him a puppet or a masterpiece. This shows that he now only sees Shoto as an extension of Endeavor and a target of his resentment. When the two of them fight, Dabi doesn't hesitate to lash out at Shoto, coldly stating that he doesn't feel anything for anyone anymore and thinking that he might kill Shoto in front of Endeavor's eyes. 👀 However, it also appears that Dabi is only thinking about this to make his father despair, as when Endeavor is unconscious, he stops fighting him because Endeavor is not looking at him.
Although he seems to only care about Endeavor's despair, it is suggested that Dabi hates Shoto even more since he was born, because Shoto inherited his mother's ice powers that regulate his flames, while he only inherited his mother's low tolerance for fire. It is possible that Dabi shows strong jealousy towards his younger brother, which is why he wanted to kill him in the first place. 💀
Fuyumi Todoroki
When she was born, Toya was happy with the new addition to the family. When they were children, Toya confided to her his desire to be recognized in the eyes of their father. In return, Fuyumi became very concerned when she saw her older brother's burns and asked her not to outdo herself, but Toya ignored her pleas and simply said that a girl wouldn't understand, determined to outdo All Might.
Despite being a "failed creation" like himself and Natsuo, Toya did not share a particularly positive relationship with Fuyumi. Although he interacted quite well with her and played with her and Natsuo, Toya preferred to confide his personal thoughts and doubts to Natsuo. When Natsuo told Toya to talk to Fuyumi about his doubts instead of him from time to time, Toya rejected the idea, feeling that his mother and Fuyumi were useless because of their constant attempts to dissuade him from training his Alter and realizing his dream of becoming a hero who surpasses All Might. 🥇
Today, Fuyumi mourns his "death" and she prays at his altar. Unlike Natsuo, she does not seem to blame their father for his death.
However, when Dabi revealed himself in public in order to attack Endeavor and Hawks, Fuyumi seemed very shocked by it, although she didn't know his true identity at the time. Like the rest of her family, Fuyumi would be deeply shocked and saddened by Dabi's broadcast and the revelation that he had become a mass murderer and villain.
Natsuo Todoroki
As the family's past shows, Toya did not have a good impression of his younger brother when he was born, as he understood what their father was trying to do by having other children. Despite this, Toya and Natsuo became extremely close to each other, to the point of being inseparable, as they always played together as children. Toya would also tell Natsuo everything he was thinking and what was bothering him, and would lean on him for emotional comfort. It is implied that he felt a sense of camaraderie with Natsuo because he considered them both to be the "failed creations" of their father. To Toya, Natsuo was the only one who could understand him and the only one he could talk to, and when Natsuo suggested that he talk to Fuyumi about his problems rather than to him from time to time, Toya was deeply hurt by the implication that Natsuo was rejecting him, to the point of almost crying. 😭 His supposed death, which occurred shortly after his mother left, affected Natsuo greatly, causing him to resent his father, whom he sees as the main culprit for what happened to Toya.
Today, Natsuo still remembers Toya and still can't forgive his father. When Dabi revealed himself to attack Endeavor and Hawks, Natsuo seemed very shocked by this revelation even though he didn't know his true identity at the time, Dabi mentions Natsuo when he gives his speech at Endeavor, implying that he still remembers him fondly even though they haven't seen each other for a long time. When Dabi revealed his identity as Toya, Natsuo was shown horrified when he saw what his older brother had become on his phone. Alas, when Shoto blames him for sending a villain who almost killed the same brother he loved and depended on, Dabi replies that it's a shame he didn't die because Endeavor would have suffered more, only caring about inflicting as much pain as possible on Endeavor, even if it means sacrificing his family. 👪
League of Villains
Tomura Shigaraki
Dabi and Tomura were very disconnected when they first met. Dabi immediately insulted Tomura and refused to tell him his real name. Dabi also doubted the Villains League's allegiance to Stain's ideology, which eventually caused Tomura to try to attack Dabi, who was ready to defend himself but Kurogiri stopped him. 👮🏻♂️
Despite this, they become comrades after Tomura finds his conviction following their first meeting. Dabi follows Tomura's orders and he trusts Tomura to take over the Villains League. After the defeat of All For One, Dabi becomes a valuable ally and partner for Tomura.
He also seems to respect him, as he was amazed by Tomura's power in the war against the Meta Liberation Army and was happy that he gained an army from their victory. However, Dabi reveals to Hawks that he never cared about Tomura or the League of Villains and only wants to use them to serve his own purposes.
Vanguard Action Squad
Himiko Toga
Dabi seems to consider Himiko a valuable ally. 🤝🏻 Despite this, he does not seem to think highly of her personality and often refers to her as crazy. When they first met, Dabi doubted the motivations of the League of Villains because of Himiko's desire to join them, but they became comrades. Since they are both admirers of Stain, they share a common goal in wanting to bring down the hero society.
Dabi does not tolerate Himiko's mocking him when things don't go his way, such as when she accuses him of having no social skills and burning those he doesn't consider fit for the league, or being upset because his fire had no effect on Gigantomachia. Usually, Dabi responds to these provocations with frank sarcasm. But recently, Toga has been a little concerned for Dabi, asking if his arm is sizzling and if he's okay. 🦾
Heros Pro
Hawks
Dabi was suspicious of Hawks. 🐦 It is unclear whether he would have killed Hawks in his weakened state, though the two organized the High-End attack together. Dabi even questions Hawks' integrity within the League of Villains, with Hawks explaining that he had to keep up appearances for the Hero society.
Soon enough, Dabi lets him join the Paranormal Liberation Front because he saw that Hawks was capable of murder. Their relationship is mocking, dishonest, and feels like a constant power struggle. Dabi is the only villain who sees the hero's lies and suspects Hawks of being a double agent.
As the attack on the Gunga Mountain villa begins, Dabi goes to Hawks' location, knowing that Hawks is the one who started the war.
Dabi joins the fight against Hawks, countering the hero's extreme speed with powerful shots. Hawks manages to escape, but before he can kill Twice, Dabi screams Hawks' real name, which had been kept secret since Hawks was a child.
After Twice is killed by Hawks, Dabi becomes enraged at the hero and mercilessly attacks him with his flames. 🔥 Dabi forces him to stay on the ground while completely burning Hawks' wings. During this confrontation, Hawks asks the villain who he really is and Dabi answers. After hearing his true identity as the son of Endeavor, Hawks stops struggling with a shocked facial expression. Dabi tells him that Hawks should have known that his former opponent was a greater threat to him than any other villain. Dabi also says that he doesn't care if Hawks lives or dies.
Other
Stain
Dabi is deeply inspired by the ideology of Stain. He joined the League to make Stain's ideals a reality. It is likely that Dabi's decision to use an alias instead of his real name was inspired by Stain. His total dedication to Stain is demonstrated during his fight with Hawks, when Dabi explains to Hawks that he should have gone after Stain instead of Tomura or the League of Villains, and he declares himself the ultimate manifestation of Stain's will However, while Stain considers a few individuals such as All Might and Izuku to be true heroes, Dabi believes that there are no true heroes in the world, demonstrating a slight difference in their viewpoints.
