The Wrong Way to Put Out a Fire S6 E17

Start from the beginning
                                        

Toya: I see. They're like extensions of my body. When I get excited, my firepower goes through the roof! Oh, man, I'm incredible. Dad is gonna be so surprised when he sees this! Ugh. Dammit. No crying! Why do I always tear up when things go my way. Dad! Your next day off, you gotta come to Sekoto Peak!

Endeavor: New burns! He's hiding them beneath his clothing now. Toya you're still training?

Toya: And I've gotten super awesome! Make sure you come watch! I bet I can get to Shoto's level pretty soon. Or All Might's level. No, better! And I guess then you'd have to accept that I'm not actually a failure like you thought. After all these years you'll be happy to have me as your son!

Shoto screaming]

Endeavor: I asked you to do one thing. Just stop him from training!

Shoto: I won't let you be mean to Mommy! Stop it! You're being a bully!

Endeavor: Get out of here, Shoto! This has nothing to do with you.

Toya: Shut up, Mom. You don't know anything!

Rei: My options were limited when I was younger. But I chose to marry you of my own free will. I thought, if I kept a smile on my face, things might work out. I tried my best. He wouldn't listen.

Endeavor: He's your problem now. You deal with this. Be of use for once.

Rei: What do you see when you glare at me like that? Please don't look at me with those horrible eyes. Those eyes! I was taken to a facility. Which is where I heard about Toya's death. That loss shattered whatever was left of my mind.

Toya: Suck it up. Do not cry.

Rei: You didn't go to Sekoto Peak like he asked.

Endeavor: I was afraid if I did, it would feed a fire that was already out of control. No. The real reason is I had no idea what to say. Or how to be Toya's father.

Toya: Dad.

Rei: I guess we both failed in that sense.

Toya: [screams] It's too hot! Please go out! It hurts!

Dabi: Now that was some impressive heat. Well. What did you expect, old man? All you ever taught me was how to burn everything.

Endeavor: If onlyI'd just given everything up that day. But after I killed Toya, I couldn't go back. The only thing I knew how to focus on was molding Shoto into the hero I could never be myself.

Rei: The more domineering you were, the harder it was to look at you. And whenever I looked at my children it was your eyes I saw staring back at me.

Fuyumi: Even though I knew we were falling apart. I was too scared to get to the bottom of our pain. So I tried to keep up appearances. Ignoring the truth.

Rei: You're the one who put us on this path, and I know you're to blame. But if I'd been able to knock some sense into Toya before he ran off to the mountain, he wouldn't have turned into Dabi, and things might've been different between me and Shoto. The responsibility is not yours to bear alone. Your heart may be broken, but we're going to help you put it back together. Because you have no choice but to fight Dabi one day.

Endeavor: Rei, are. Are you sure? How can I.

Rei: Shoto must've suffered so much more than we did. But he still started calling me "Mom" again. Even though he has every right to hate me. He's made friends at UA High. And he's protected each of us, likely more than we know. He is the true hero in this family.

Shoto: [coughs] Before coming in here, I had a long talk with Mom. I thought you wouldn't be able to fight after how things went down. That I would have to face Dabi myself.bThat's not the case, though. So whenever you're done crying, you and I will work to stop Toya together.
