Dabi: *fighting Shoto*

Dabi: *pauses*

Dabi: Wait, fuck. Hold on. Can we just pause for a second?

Shoto: Yes???

Dabi: *calling Tomura*

Dabi: Is that you with 20,000 hands in the distance? That’s the grossest thing I’ve ever seen.

Dabi: I can’t even focus on killing my brother with that in the background.

Did endeavour really cry in the manga when he apologized to touya and the entire todofam?

No, he didn't. It's an anime only addition to make him more sympathetic.

It's very clear that the entire title change was driven by a pro-Endeavor agenda. Someone up high in Bones really wanted to say that it's everyone's "I'M HERE" moment rather than Todoroki Shoto Rising.

When the entire point is that the Todoroki family climax is not only a tragedy, but the way Enji and Rei are scrambling last minute everyone outside also at danger.

Shoto is the only one who can prevent the mass annihilation, because HE WAS THERE - there for Rei to save her from the hospital, there for Iida to save him from Stain and inspire him to become the kind of person who'll carry him at transonic speeds, there to fight Toya in Enji's place, there to train Phosphor so he could counter Touya without harming him.

It's Shoto's "I'M HERE" as he becomes a hero to reassure strangers and bring salvation to the family. It's everything he worked for coming together - that's why it is his RISING.

But Bones management tried to take it away from him and make it a watered down "everyone is here, everyone is cool" kind of moment and many fans sadly bought it.

But I think the animation team did a respectable job in 10 mins to try to make sense of the story as much as they could.

Notice that Hawks takes off his mask before he starts saying something truthful/outside of his role. Everything he said until this point was part of his façade.

And it's notable that the first genuine dialogue Hawks has is that he doesn't admire All Might. Not all hero characters in BNHA had All Might as their main inspiration, but until this point there wasn't a single hero character to say anything like "I never wanted to be like [All Might]". Endeavor was not the exception. He may not have liked All Might personally, but it was primarily due to envy. Endeavor wanted to be like All Might in that he wanted to be number one and the strongest.

It's interesting that the takeaways from Hawks' introductory chapter are that he's duplicitous, ambitious, and doesn't like All Might. His introduction unsettled the status quo of the story until this point because Act One revolved around All Might the Symbol of Peace and Number One Hero. But Hawks is established as a top hero character outside of All Might's orbit with ambiguous intentions.
