The spoilers also gave an update on Hawks and Lady Magant, who were doing well. As per the spoilers, Gentle Criminal and La Brava were also freed from prison due to their services during the Final War.

Although the Todoroki family finally had a reunion, it was very bittersweet, as Endeavor blamed himself for everything. Dabi (Toya) still showed some signs of rebellion, but as everyone was about to leave, his attitude indicated that he could be returning to his old personality, Toya Todoroki.

According to the spoilers of My Hero Academia chapter 426, it showcased Hawks talking to Endeavor via a phone while sitting beside Lady Nagant. The latter was still afraid of going outside because she thought she could be used by someone again, just like All for One did.

The chapter also showcased La Brava and Gentle Criminal, who were thanked for their services during the final war, and their prison sentences were pardoned due to this. The chapter ended with a visual of Spinner in a hospital as a mysterious figure enters his room, which could be the one that was running through the streets in the previous chapter.

However, the spotlight and the majority of the chapter were focused on the reunion of the Todoroki family, as indicated by the previous one. Everyone stood before the chamber, the same one from the previous chapter, which had Dabi breathing his last breaths. Endeavor revealed his plans to retire as a hero and expressed his wish to keep talking to his son, Toya.

As expected, the villain mocked his father for being a coward and only coming to his side after everything was over. Endeavor compiled everything he said, after which Dabi went silent. The other members of the Todoroki family also wanted to talk to Toya, but they were dismissed because the villain's mental health was reaching a limit.

Before the family exited the room, Shoto asked his brother about his favorite food. He didn't reply, but as they were about to leave, Dabi answered with 'soba noodles.' Todoroki complied with his choice, and the family left. Surprisingly, after the family exited the room, Dabi started crying and apologized to Shoto, showing signs that he could be turning to a new page.

The family then discussed their plans for the future, as Natsu was willing to cut ties with his father and stay with his girlfriend, Fuyumi was looking for a new job, and Shoto claimed that he would be good with his friends in Class 1-A. While everyone said their plans, Endeavor kept apologizing and said that he could keep doing so until he died.

The last time this family had a reunion was during the final war, when Dabi returned with an awakened Freeze quirk. Everyone begged him to stop, but he listened to no one and continued destroying everything. However, the fight ended with Shoto stopping Dabi, and the villain still cursed his family in a state where he was barely alive.

His attitude in the latest chapter of My Hero Academia could be an indication that, after the demise of the person who manipulated him, All for One, he can now finally think with a clear mind. However, as said by the doctors, he could be dying after, as fans would see how the tale of Dabi would end in the next four chapters.
