A.N. — Two chapters, two characters left... are they, in fact, the same person? It's a fun theory, but one with no confirmation and little hinting. Nothing as obvious as Dabi was Toya Todoroki, at any rate. So I'm writing today's character as if he's not tomorrow's. His wiki page is suspiciously blank, so the foundation of this chapter is from one of the manga volume extras.

364. Hisashi Midoriya

With the situation in Japan devolving daily, Hisashi Midoriya was more and more certain his long-ago choice to work abroad for his family's sake was proving correct. But knowing his son was in the center of the conflict made sending monetary support back seem very inadequate. All he could think about was Inko worrying over Izuku's fate, or if Izuku's heroic heart would eventually compel him into a confrontation he couldn't walk away from.

Hisashi didn't need his quirk to be smoking at the mouth over his loved ones' plights. But spitting literal fire helped keep his stress down.
