True, yet Shoto's "dead" brother appears in front of him and he's a serial killer who tried to slaughter the entire family with him as the #1 target yet Shoto's still able to move.
But anyway, I was evaluating Endeavor's behavior not just with this event but everything leading up to this event since he's become no.1.
Even in the Ending situation, when Natsuo was almost killed, Endeavor froze up and the magic 3 had to save Natsuo instead.
There's something sort of off with Endeavors character ever since he became no. 1. Before, rather than standing around in shock in a situation like this, he would have been kind of cocky and been like, "Step aside there young wanna-bees, I got this," and then did his thing.
But now he's just kind of pitiable like his confidence has taken a serious hit.
And he's just so desperate to get his children's love that again he just seems pitiable.
