What if
We know that Rei found out about Touya in the hospital, but was Enji brave enough to tell her about their son's death himself? I doubt it, but still...
More or less how I feel about the situation as well. I feel that so many people complain about the realism of the story and forget that this is just a shounen manga at the end of the day. Yes, MHA does explore realistic topics and what not, but I don't think its focus is realism. I mean if it was would Hori have even entertained the idea of Tenko being saved?? Obviously they should probably get a divorce but if that was where the story was heading I feel that Hori would've at the very least brought up the topic but he hasn't. If they do stay together (and I think they will) it would be nice to see the fam's dynamic.
Do u think Enji and Rei will divorce? (I know it's stigmatized or something in Japan) Despite everything I really don't think they will tho, idk if that makes me crazy or what.
Honestly I don't think so.
As usual this is my opinion and I don't know how things will go in the end but, from how I see things BNHA is meant to be a story with a happy ending and divorce in Japan wouldn't definitely be considered like a happy ending for the Todofam.
Probably in Japan even Enji's death would feel happier than his divorce... and, before someone will ask, I don't think Enji's death would be considered a happy ending either so it's unlikely it'll happen.
The most Enji and Rei might do, and I still consider unlikely they will do it, might be take a break from each other in which Enji will try to regain the trust of his family.
I sincerely doubt Horikoshi will go for the 'hey, divorce is a possible and sometimes good solution' approach.
The end goal of the hellish Todoroki family was likely always to prove they could rebuild itself if they were to accept instead than reject all its member.
Enji is likely meant to do what Kotarou couldn't, what Himiko's parents weren't interested in doing, make up with Touya (and the rest of his family which he has also abused... I single out Touya specifically because he's the hardest to make up with as he's filled with negative feelings at the moment... no one else in the family is set on murder Enji and die, after all) and create a happy family by understanding his mistakes and fixing them so as to give the hopeful message that there are parents out there that might have messed up a lot, that might have done terrible things but that will one day realize their mistakes and make up with you...
...which in real life is sadly extremely unlikely, but overall BNHA to me feels more like a fairytale where a young girl earnest words can persuade a crowd to welcome a tired boy among them even if it can be dangerous and they're all scared, not a story about the likely most realistic scenario... so as to give a message of hope.
Undoubtedly in the west the story would work even if Enji and Rei were to accept they didn't love each other and the best they could do for each other is go separate ways but still be there for their kids... but I don't think Japan is ready for this sort of message.
What's more Horikoshi often uses the microcosm of the Todoroki family to represent the macrocosm of society. Enji and Rei deciding their differences can't be reconciled would end up on representing how society, which in BNHA is currently split, can't reconcile.
I think it would get in the way of the message of peace and happiness Horikoshi is trying to pass. So yeah, I don't think there's a single chance for the Todoroki to divorce.
As usual, I might be wrong. I'm not Horikoshi after all, I don't really know how the story is going to end. We can only wait and see.

LMAO sameeee (*≧∀≦)人(≧∀≦*)♪
it's okay haha, one thing I love more than touyas body horror is everyone's reaction (mainly enji and rei's bc that's their son-) to the extent of it bc just imagine the heartbreak, the horror, the guilt, the ache ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡ I love it here lmao idm the derail in topic ♪ヽ(´▽｀)/
and yeah. the fact that all endeavor could find was his part of his jaw. dawg my HEART.
yk the scene where dabi reveals himself and endeavor is literally going thru it all over again. when I was watching it, all I could think of was the heartbreak, the confusion, the denial, it's all THERE. this man is going over every little detail of sekoto peak after his son's 'death'. every possible detail that could've indicated touya's survival, what did he miss ? could he really have saved his son ? could he have saved his family from the grief ? could he have saved more than a fragment of touya's jaw ?
maybe he could have. the same son that he was just starting to believe to be dead is now right in front of him. that outcome was possible in another universe. and doesn't that hurttttttttttttt enji, omy gosh none of them deserve this
it makes me wonder if enji was ever close to discovering touya's body. as in, he's a pro hero and that's his son, so enji wasted no time in running into the forest. but the fire was 2000°c !!! touya's flames are wayyyy hotter than enji's, and sure, enji has more resistance but it doesn't mean that he's immune to the effects of fire.
imagine, the smoke clinging to his lungs, causing him to heave. the ash making his eyes water and his vision blur. the unmistakable smell of burning flesh. none of this is easing his worry. there's no sign of touya anywhere. all that he can hear is the blaze of the inferno that's taking his son away from him. and isn't it deafening (;´-｀)
imagine that in all of his panic and distress, enji misses touyas corpse. wouldn't that be tragic. as much as I think AFO defo came in asap and swiped touya immediately, I can't help but feel like that this is a possibility that goes through enjis mind. it's written all over his face in that scene omy goshhhhhhhhugngh this is making me sick
can we talk abt touya's medical trauma more please
wdym where's shoto? who do you think is holding the camera and is very persistent to squeeze in
OMG I’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS TOO
like,,,, rei was already doing so bad mentally??? how did they tell her???
did endeavor just visited her like “eheh guess what-”
bc there’s no way learning that her first born died didn’t make her mental health a hundred times worse
Ur telling me that Touya "died" not long after Rei was hospitalized. HE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIS MOM BEFORE THE INCIDENT PLRWSEEEREHSHH😞 How did they break the news to her oml
i like to think when rei could, her and shoto would play games together and one of those games were mario party. shoto is really good at it now. people think it's luck but he just played a lot with his mom and on his own and now it's a comfort for him.
shoto will get like, three stars in one turn and people will say it's luck and he's like No i just played with my mom :)
the dekusquad still play with him despite losing every single time. they just like seeing him have fun
Christmas with family
So the ctabb server had a little secret Santa and my santee was the lovely @smiling-anon and the prompt was a day with the todofam with Christmas shenanigans and Dabihawks. I tried to sprinkle in some Rei/Inko through Tododeku too since you wished for it.
