I feel like with all those jokes about Shoto being sassy to his father or using his credit card to pay a lot of useless things to piss him off we forget that Enji Todoroki is a piece of shit. Like, he BOUGHT Rei, they had children until Shoto, "the masterpiece" came to life +
After years of mistreatment, Rei went to the extend of pouring boiling water on her son because he reminded her of Enji. The latter sent her in a hospital for about 10 years thuse cutting her from EVERYTHING. He just sent her there like you get rid of some kind of trash +
Shoto on his side couldn't do a thing like children should be able to. Most certainly homeschooled during high school he never learned anything about social interactions, had to train until he vomited or until Rei would be able to protect him. +
By sending Rei to the hospital, Endeavhoe forced Fuyumi to become a mom to Shoto and Natsuo (idk when Touya disappeared but to him too I think), she cooked for the family, she brought Natsuo to school and looked after Shoto so he wouldn't feel too alone facing Enji. +
SHE WAS 13 AND TOOK CARE OF EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY.
She did so much and we don't give her enough credit but this thread is not about that. +

In order to keep the secret of what he was putting Shoto through he MUST have threatened people outside of the family who knows what is happening. His staff and other people could just do nothing against the number two hero. Too much influence and too rich, you can't win +
Enji Todoroki is an unbearable piece of shit who deserves nothing and most certainly not Shoto's forgiveness and if you consider that as a hot take please I don't need you to follow me, he's a monster hidden behind a wall of lies and fear. I don't care if he knows he did wrong +
He just did too much to be able to just be sorry and become better without facing legal repercussions at least. He needs to face the whole thing, not only deal with that in the family.
