Question Of The Week - #93

Shoto is an interesting case because he goes through A LOT throughout the series.

His motivation for being a hero changes from suring his father without his help to proving he can become a better hero with his power.

He then goes from actively rejecting his father to trying to make amens, at the suggestion of his friends.

Then, when it comes to saving Dabi, he agrees to it head-on while asking his father for assistance.

As much as I hate to it it, family trauma is a huge motivational force in his family to grow into better people, rectify past mistakes, and strive towards a better tomorrow.

I don't think he has quite gotten over it, but he is definitely a strong work-in-progress, and for someone his age with what he has gone through, that says a lot.

I wouldn’t say ‘healed’ but healing. We see how he’s already come so far with his dad, but Touya. Oh yeah different story, I think as much as Shoto seees him as family. It’s simply a blood thing. Even if he was trying to fight him without killing him

i personally think he has healed with his dad throughout the seasons, but with dabi is another story.

“hEs a ViLliAn oFc nOt” thank you captain obvious but that’s not what i’m talking about—

shoto tries his best to see that there’s still good in him, but it’s physically impossible to come to, when dabi hasn’t been there through most of his life. he can reflect on the good memories as much as he can reflect on the bad ones, but the bad ones bring more feelings to the table. dabi will be shotos brother by blood, but not by choice.

i believe he has healed from his trauma but will hold a gut-feeling in his stomach about his brother forever. kind of like a run-on sentence or thought.

That's really hars to think about. If I have to guess, I think yes but at the same time no. I think he can heal from the trauma that has happened to him and around him. He can also live with it and move on with his life to get the better use for himself to another path for himself of healing but never forgetting his own scars.

I would have to say yes but no at the same time. You never forget what happened to you due to trauma. But he has healed in other ways to gain more independence since there wasn't really real connection with him and them. But, he can learn to live with it without it weighing down on him and accept his new life.
