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 Iām looking @ u) so Iāve 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 č¼ which means weed (also remember the bitch is high 24/7 so it aināt that far fetchedJEJSJSN)
Them flowers come in purple,pink,white and BLUE and who else has a blue quirk? Yeah thatās what I was thinkin
well have to wait till we get the flowers animated and see whatās their color so letās pray theyāre blue bc if they are not Iām gonna look like a big ass clown
well have to wait till we get the flowers animated and see whatās their color so letās pray theyāre blue bc if they are not Iām 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 letās get to the meanings. Basically the flowers meanings vary depending on their color so again weāll 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 donāt grow when itās cloudy or raining, only when itās 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 āsincereā and even though heās hiding his past and real name for obvious reasons (being an edgelord) he is rlly clear abt his goals and what heās tryna achieve, he hasnāt lied abt anything so we could say heās (sometimes brutally) honest
these are weird qualities for a villain but I havenāt 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 yāall 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....itās representing the missing family member aka our boy ,,,thereās no way hori randomly put it there
touya uses the kanji for arrow ē¢ which has to do w accuracy so it fits the meaning. Rindos are also attached to sunlight as they donāt bloom when itās raining or cloudy. The other kanji used for touyas name is ē which means lamp. Lamp,sunlight are yāall seeing what Iām 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 isnāt built to stand his own power are yāall seeing this fam
another one of bellflowers meanings (how many do they have wth) is āgrieving your loveā 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 āI love you but Iām sadā āgrieving your loveā etc also applies to this certain panel 
yupppp i was right they blue
