The importance of the Dabi vs. Shoto showdown

As some fans might remember, there was a brief Dabi vs. Shoto showdown during the war between the heroes and the Paranormal Liberation Front in season 6. This was also the moment when fans got to witness the Dabi dance and the true identity of the villain, the first son of Endeavor Todoroki, Toya Todoroki, was revealed.

The Dabi vs. Shoto fight during the final war is one of the most highly anticipated fights, and fans will see Dabi venting out all his frustration that has been accumulating since his family abandoned him after the forest fire. Fortunately, Shoto will be assisted by other heroes like Ingenium (Iida), Kamiji (Endeavor's side-kick), and some students of U.A. High School.

What has happened so far in My Hero Academia season 7

After hearing about the news of All Might, the strongest hero of the US, Star and Stripe, rushed to assist her master against the sinister Tomura Shigaraki. Unaware of how he had become TomurAFO, the hero faced some consequences and eventually died as the villain stole her quirk. However, he couldn't do much because the New Order fought TomurAFO from the inside after the death of its previous wielder.

After her death, while training for the final war, Aoyama was revealed as the traitor of U.A. High who did everything because he was born quirkless. Following the exchange of some sentimental remarks, the heroes secretly planned to lure out All for One using Shinso and were successful in starting the war.

The war commenced with the heroes splitting the villains across Japan to break their collective force. Unfortunately, Deku was pushed away from the battlefield due to Toga's interference. However, the war waited for no one and began. With the final war now in full flow, fans wonder which side will emerge victorious.
