Why Did I Just Realized WHY Touya/Dabis Hair Changed Color And Why Does It Symbolize Something?!?

…Why did I just realized WHY Touya/Dabi’s hair changed color and why does it symbolize something?!?

In the Todoroki household, if you have white hair you have ice resistance, and if you have red you have fire resistance.

Or you could say, they have those quirks but if my memory plagues me right, the more Touya’s hair turn white, the more his fire injure him.

I mean, Endeavor wasn’t going to put his hopes and dreams on the boy that they knew couldn’t handle it. That fact, the fact that he is fire resistant, became false.

When we see the white sprinkled in red, that’s when Enji learned that Baby T was getting burned. Only once his resistance (and hair color) changed, than Endeavor stopped caring about Touya. His fire didn’t just suddenly get hotter, he became less resistant (but still pretty resistant as he wasn’t that burnt)

I remembered reading someone’s au of Fuyumi is that she is fire resistant as well, but I guess, because she is such a minor character that no creditable sources care to point out whether or not she is— However, if she was, it’d fit under this theory as she has red stripes in her head of white.

(And they headcanon that Dabi and her loves to fight with their quirks because they’re fire proof and ice proof respectively. This is canon in my head now.)

They used his hair color to show the quirk changing. And I love that.

Shipping isn't trying to explain why a relationship is actually canon. It's not even trying to explain why it should or could be canon. Shipping is saying "wouldn't it be funny if these two fucked" and everyone needs to remember that.
