The tangled relationship between those two.

I really wish the author would make the early relationship between Endeavor and Touya more clear. This chapter seems to imply he didn't mistreat Touya in the beginning.

This makes me wonder if in regards to the fire, did Touya "die" because Endeavor pushed him to use his fire power or was that because Touya pushed himself in order to please his father?

Based on what was said in this chapter, Shoto was already alive and could use his quirk around the time just before Touya died. Enji would have known Shoto possessed the quirk combo he'd desired in a child. So there would have been no need to keep pushing Touya (who could easily burn) when he had Shoto. If Touya felt like he had no worth any more I could see him going to Natsu to ask why did he exist. And then in an effort to get his father's attention again and prove his value, overusing his power at Sekoto and accidentally letting it get out of control.

Another mystery is - who recovered Touya's body from the fire, healed him up later, and left a fake jaw at the scene to make Enji think his child was dead? I'd think AFO was behind this but . . . I don't know. What would be the point unless at some point he wanted Touya's body.

    i love this. it actually makes more sense why dabi has particular angst for shoto. he got jealous why shoto was getting the attention and wanted to prove himself
