Now, what's this mean in the way of survival?
Will he survive? It's highly unlikely he'll even live much longer at the rate he's going, especially if he keeps hurting himself. The amount of intervention to help him would be insane and intense, and some of these things cannot be repaired.
In our world, it's possible for someone to live from being burned like this, but recovery is a long and difficult process and the victim will never be the same. They'll likely be disabled for the rest of their lives, have severe scarring, and die much younger due to this. Treatments are pretty wide ranging from skin grafts, synthetic materials, ointments and medicines, compresses, plastic surgery and likely a long, long time in rehabilitation.
But, in the world of MHA there's a little more they might be able to do with more advanced science and healing quirks, etc, that Dabi can get access to and stop using his quirk. If not, he probably doesn't have much longer. Like I said, he could technically get into a battle in the next chapter, burn himself, enter shock and cardiac arrest, and then die. Or the damage of his body and internal organs could cause his body to shut down and he could just drop dead. OR he could even experience heart failure, and then he's gone. He could die at any point now and I am SCARED.
I am truly hoping Dabi doesn't die during the story, I hope somehow he gets the help he needs even while paying for his crimes. He's suffering terribly day to day and I can't imagine how he does it. I hope he survives and gets what he needs, some form of help with his quirk.
Okay, so now I'm really made myself upset but at the same time, can we just acknowledge how strong he really is?? Like, oh my God, how does he do it? I would die, I would beg for death abd i think everyone else would too. But Dabi's there, living like this and still determined to complete his goals. He might hurt himself more, suffer more, he might and likely will die, but he's doing it anyway because he feels he has to. That's not stupidity, that's strength. Our boy is so fucking strong and I'm so proud of him i wanna cry.
He better make it through this. He deserves a happy ending in some way even if it seems doomed.
