dabi

Dabi is a fictional character in the My Hero Academia manga and anime series, created by Kohei Horikoshi. He is a villain affiliated with the League of Villains and later the Paranormal Liberation Front. Dabi is known for his blue flames and his burned, pale appearance, typically wearing a dark coat. His Quirk, Cremation, enables him to generate and control intense blue fire, surpassing common fire in temperature and destructive capacity. He can sustain flames at a distance and use them to burn through armored targets and structures, often employing long-range and surgical attacks in combat.

Dabi's true identity is Toya Todoroki, the eldest son of Endeavor (Enji Todoroki) and Rei Todoroki. Toya was believed dead after a catastrophic incident tied to his family’s fighting ideology; he survived and later assumed the alias Dabi. His backstory explores themes of parental pressure, abuse, and the cost of heroics, informing his animosity toward his father and the hero society.

In the narrative, Dabi operates as a high-ranking member of the League of Villains and participates in major confrontations against heroes, including the Paranormal Liberation War arc. His public revelations about his identity and his family ties have significant consequences for the Todoroki family and for heroism's public image. Dabi is generally portrayed as ruthless, calm, and calculating, prioritizing extremist goals and mass casualties to challenge the hero system.
