Love how a song originally about a pair of ex-lovers has become a song about a separated mother and son. In both cases, the man has been assumed dead, and returns to take his revenge. The woman is blindsided that the person she's mourned is alive and grown into someone she scarcely recognizes. I would never have believed this song could apply so well to a non-romantic relationship, but it really does work! Thank you for sharing!

[JadeElfen]

I'm shocked at how well this song fits Dabi and his mother. You can feel here not romantic love as in the original, but the love of mother and son.

[sethhowell]

Who’s ready for Toya’s backstory to get animated soon?

[saphjack]

"Could either of us really he free?" With Enji looming over both of them literally gave me chills, holy shit.

[bluecookies]

"can either of us ever be free" THE PAINNNN

[laurabliek]

This is amazing. Like holy shit. The shot at 2:20 of how Rei and Touya/Dabi are both victims of Enji to the point them had a complete mental breakdown is fantastic- heartbreaking, but fantastic.

[emmawiley]

Your designs for both Rei and Touya really gives Touya his mothers features.
They have the same slope of their nose and similar eye shapes, and their jawline is practically the same. It really makes the impact that he was her baby at one point

[emmawiley]

Holy crap I’ve never seen this song be interpreted like this, but it’s SO satisfying.
She’s just a mom who wants her baby back 😭

[rai]

i liked 1:45 How she tries to reach out and confort her son Toya, but then Dabi smacks her hand away

[abbycollins]

**SPOLIERS!!**





Oh the reveal of this entire thing taking place in her head is way too good!!

[humanhandenby]

OMG THE PERSPECTIVE TURN AT 1:58 AND THE ENDING WHERE HE SITS DOWN AND IT ALL ENDS UP BEING A CONVERSATION IN HER HEAD WOW WOW WOW

[Xxedz_xX]

THIS ROCKSSSS when dabi said; "this man is dead" and it showed touya slowly losing his innocence just KILLED me like omg ur art is amazing-

[randomfangirl]

So many characters can fit this song but for some reason these two never came to mind but they should have. It’s perfect.

[mingan]

I live for the day Toya gets to meet his mom again. I feel like she's the one person he wouldn't hurt.

[frogwitch]

This song was tragic in the original musical but here? I’m this context? With this beautiful animatic? Genuinely heart breaking

[katelynjohnson]

The first dabi reveal where he revealed himself was sad within but i hated to admit that Shigarakis backstory was worse. Then the second reveal of what happened came out I was like.... "Shit no he had it harder"

[dorkblood]

FINALLY, SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT TODOFAM AND THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO MUSICAL ARE A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN
LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME THAT HELL TO YOUR DOORSTEP IS NOT DABI'S REVENGE THEME SONG

[staleling]

This is so heartbreaking! It's her baby boy, she grieved him, and to see him alive but so different than what he was must be devastating. To realize that he was alive all this time. She was finally opening up, I can't wait to see how this will be dealt with, and how all family members would be responding to this!!

[vaccinateyourkids]

That shot of little Touya screaming as he bursts into flames was so beautiful and heartbreaking

[sincerelymaxx]

THE LYRICS THAT FIT ENJI *SENT* ME OH MY GOD?? AND WHEN YOUNG TOUYA WENT UP IN FLAMES HOLY SHIT OH MY GOD
