how reis flowers symbolize touya and add proof to the dabi theory: a thread bc a bitch is bored

first things first 90% of the info comes from this post https://www.reddit.com/r/BokuNoHeroAcademia/comments/adazbl/dabitouyarei_and_the_rindou/ so go check it out pls

so we all know most mangakas have this obsession w foreashadowing shit w flowers (isayama I’m looking @ u) so I’ve always wondered if the flowers in reis hospital room have any kind of symbolism behind and oh boy they do

these flowers are called rindou/ autumn bellflowers and in ancient times they were called eyamigusa (plague weed /fever weed) and contained the same kanji used for dabis name 荼 which means weed (also remember the bitch is high 24/7 so it ain’t that far fetchedJEJSJSN)

Them flowers come in purple,pink,white and BLUE and who else has a blue quirk? Yeah that’s what I was thinkin
well have to wait till we get the flowers animated and see what’s their color so let’s pray they’re blue bc if they are not I’m gonna look like a big ass clown

so this flower is a medicinal plant whose roots were used to help w stomach earth and induce calm. Bnha smash and the iconic highway scene (that we gonna get animated in two weeks, bless) confirmed that dabi gets carsick easily and has health problems

now let’s get to the meanings. Basically the flowers meanings vary depending on their color so again we’ll have to wait for the animated version but one of its basic meanings is accuracy. Dabis more serious in contrast to the rest of the lov and he has a clear goal

so yeah the bitchs accurate. When the flowers are purple they symbolize full of confidence, because they bloom straight towards the sun and don’t grow when it’s cloudy or raining, only when it’s sunny and warm. Dabis rlly confident he literally stood like this in front of the +

summer camp like??Who do you think you are?? He expected to get a win win on that mission and he did. He knows his limitations and when to retreat and trusted his ability enough to try to k word enji so he does fit the description we stan a confident king

another one of this flowers meanings is victory and dabi has won literally every battle he was in ( except high end ) you dumb powerful bitch

another meaning of this flower is “sincere” and even though he’s hiding his past and real name for obvious reasons (being an edgelord) he is rlly clear abt his goals and what he’s tryna achieve, he hasn’t lied abt anything so we could say he’s (sometimes brutally) honest

these are weird qualities for a villain but I haven’t seen him lie?? So he also fits this meaning

this flower blooms in summer and autumn. The first time we saw dabis flames was in SUMMER (in the summer camp arc) and then in the high end fight where we got to see him wilding even more,which was in November are y’all connecting the dots

Talking bout high end we got to see a sequence of panels where we could see the todoroki fam reacting to dabis sudden emo appearance and we there was the fucking flower again....it’s representing the missing family member aka our boy ,,,there’s no way hori randomly put it there

touya uses the kanji for arrow 矢 which has to do w accuracy so it fits the meaning. Rindos are also attached to sunlight as they don’t bloom when it’s raining or cloudy. The other kanji used for touyas name is 燈 which means lamp. Lamp,sunlight are y’all seeing what I’m seeing

we know one of the flowers meanings is victory, and victory in flower language means the ability to triumph over illnesses (remember dis a medicinal plant) the flowers kanji literally trasnlates to dragon innards aka body constitution now remember who has a weak constitution

+ due to his body being built for ice quirks. As Elsa wannabe pointed out in the plf fight dabis body isn’t built to stand his own power are y’all seeing this fam

another one of bellflowers meanings (how many do they have wth) is “grieving your love” remember rei has these in her room,,,,, bellflowers grows separately without clumping with other flowers, it grows independently without grouping with others, it grows alone.

symbolizing the fact that touya grew separated from his siblings till shouto was born and he was also discarded so yeah.....it fits

The color purple of rindous symbolize royalty. The todorokis are the family of the number one hero,,,that sounds like almost royalty to me fam

last but not least, the flowers meaning “I love you but I’m sad” “grieving your love” etc also applies to this certain panel

yupppp i was right they blue
