There were so many emotional parts in My Hero Academia final season. Shoto Todoroki's final interaction with his brother Toya, better known as Dabi, wasn't just heartbreaking. It was the perfect ending to a character arc that's been building since season one.The Todoroki family's visit to Toya in Chapter 426 hit differently. Toya is now confined to a life support unit, slowly dying, only able to speak for a few minutes each day. When the family arrives, the My Hero Academia final season shows us just how far Shoto has come from the cold, emotionally distant kid we met in the sports festival.From ice to warmthRemember season one Shoto? The guy who literally covered half his face with ice because he hated his fire side so much. He refused to use his flames out of spite for his father, Endeavor. Looking at those side-by-side comparisons fans are posting online, the growth is honestly insane. One fan pointed out that "for the first time I thought that was just his looks. Turned out to be he is covering the fire part of his face."But the My Hero Academia final season shows us a completely different Shoto. He's the one who made sure his family would have time together with Toya. He's accepted both sides of himself. And in what might be the simplest yet most powerful moment, he asks Toya one question before they leave: What's your favorite food?Toya's answer? Soba. The same as Shoto's.A question that says everythingShoto asking Toya a question (Image Credit: Shueisha)That moment in the My Hero Academia final season is so much more meaningful than it seems on the surface. Shoto isn't trying to fix everything or give some big speech. He's just trying to connect with his brother as a person, not as a villain or a victim of their family's trauma. It's such a small, human thing to ask, and that's exactly why it works.After everyone leaves, Toya tears up and internally apologizes to Shoto. The My Hero Academia final season makes it clear that this simple act of kindness reached him in a way that nothing else could. Shoto gave his brother dignity and treated him like family, even after everything that happened.Fans are absolutely losing it over this scene. "Looking at these pictures side by side makes me emotional. he grew so much," one fan tweeted, getting over 121,000 views. Another said "going 2 cry" which honestly, same. The emotional weight of seeing Shoto's journey come full circle in the My Hero Academia final season has people in their feelings.The power of simple humanity in My Hero Academia final seasonShoto's declaration to his parents (Image Credit: Shueisha)What makes this moment so special is how understated it is. Enji announces his retirement and talks about atoning for his sins. Fuyumi and Rei say they want to talk. But Shoto? He just asks about soba. And somehow, that question carries more emotional weight than any grand declaration could.The My Hero Academia final season understands that healing doesn't always come from big, dramatic moments. Sometimes it's in the quiet gestures. Shoto has become the person his family needed him to be, not by trying to save everyone, but by simply being present and kind.One fan perfectly summed it up: "Shoto deserves to be happy." After everything he's been through, after all the growth we've seen in the My Hero Academia final season, that statement hits hard. He does deserve happiness. And in asking Toya about his favorite food, Shoto showed that he's finally found peace with himself and his family, even in the most tragic circumstances.ConclusionThe contrast between season one Shoto and who he is now in the My Hero Academia final season is genuinely stunning. He went from a kid who rejected half of himself to someone who can show compassion to the brother who tried to kill him. That's not just character development. That's a complete transformation.
