My Hero Academia season 6 episode 17, will continue right from the last episode as Rei Todoroki visits her injured husband and son in the hospital. However, her main agenda was to discuss their oldest son, Toya Todoroki, aka Dabi.

Toya was publicly announced to have passed away as Endeavor failed to find him in the forest fire. Thus, the upcoming episode will focus on how Toya ended up in such a situation and who was to blame.

While Endeavor seems to be the one who is at fault, the upcoming episode is set to reveal how he, too, did not have control over the events of the majority part. For Toya, it is a story of hope and despair. However, for the Todoroki family, it is a story of how their family broke apart.

The episode will go much deeper into the Todoroki family's dark secrets and how it all came to be. In order to create a child who would surpass himself and the No. 1 hero, All Might, Enji Todoroki married Rei, a woman with an ice quirk. Soon, the couple had their first son, Toya.
