Dabi's Condition and Chance of Survival

The psychological and mental effects of the burns/scars

Now that's just physically, let's get into the psychological and mental conditions that are possible:

-obviously there's the psychological trauma from this kind of traumatic event, and Dabi's are repeated, over and over again. He knows it'll keep happening too. This alone can cause depression, hopelessness, ptsd, suicidal idealation, and even delusional disorders such as depersonalization, paranoia, delusions, and dissociation.

- People with traumatic injuries like this are more likely to become dependant and addicted to pain medication, illicit drugs and alcohol in an attempt to manage pain, and are more likely to commit suicide. This is just from the burns, not even including trauma from years of childhood physical and emotional abuse and a decade of homelessness.

- the cut off of oxygen to the brain and blood stream during shock can cause irreversible brain damage, resulting in memory loss, changes in mood and behaviours, changes in sleeping and eating habits, hallucinations, delusions, trouble focusing, trouble retaining new information, and loss of time (black outs or dissociation). So as much as we may wanna joke about his low stats in the way of knowledge and technique is dumb Todoroki genes, it's far more likely these low stats are due to repeated brain damage from entering shock and cardiac arrest over and over and almost dying during his life. So... maybe those jokes are getting out of hand too.

This information really paints a horrible picture of just how badly Dabi is suffering every single day due to his conditions. How much he's been through and the amount of agony he's been having to deal with each day... how he's alive and even able to function is unbelievable. He should be dead, and he likely wishes he were. But he's still alive through all this, and that's a testiment to how strong he really is. (I'd personally curl up in a corner and die somewhere if I were him. My boi is so strong.)

But now it puts his stats into perspective and it is a dark realisation.

His power is lower due to his body slowly shutting down and he's becoming too weak to physically keep it up like he has.

His technique and knowledge like I said contributes to brain damage and psychological trauma.

His speed is low and has always been low because literally any movement is painful for him and moving too quickly could literally tear him apart.

And he's physically weak and unable to battle for too long because his body is shutting down on him.

Basically, he's dying. Agonizingly slow and painfully.
