Tony stared at the screen, shocked and on the verge of tears. His father did love him. And this video was proof of that.
(1:15:08 - 1:15:55)
Everyone was silent, shocked by Howard's words. After the way Stark always described Howard, these words were the last thing the audience would have expected him to say.
"He really did care about Stark. Even if he never showed it." La Brava commented on the true relationship between Howard and Tony.
"And here I thought his dad was a jerk. He's actually not so bad." Sero said.
Todoroki once again couldn't help but think of Endeavor during this moment. Howard's statement about Stark being his greatest creation reminded Todoroki of what Endeavor would often say about him. However, the difference between Howard and Endeavor is that Howard actually loves Tony. That much is clear. Everything he did was for Tony's sake. But Endeavor? He only feels pride towards Todoroki, not love. Todoroki knows that he only exists as a tool for Endeavor to achieve his own goals. And it's for that reason that Todoroki refuses to be the creation Endeavor desired. He won't be something that bastard gets to be proud of.
Endeavor, meanwhile, was thinking about Howard's words as well. He understood Howard's feelings completely. The idea that you can truly entrust the future to your child. The idea that of all the things you have and ever will do, your child will always be your greatest achievement. Howard always considered Stark to be his greatest creation. Someone who would achieve what he couldn't. Endeavor feels the same way towards Shoto. Shoto is his pride and joy and the one who will surpass All Might where he could not. Shoto just needs to accept his destiny first.
Dabi, upon hearing Howard's words, couldn't help but glare at Todoroki. His father's 'masterpiece' and the painful reminder that he was never good enough. He couldn't wait to see the look on Endeavor's face as he destroys his precious creation.
While the message from Howard was sweet, many in the audience wondered if there was more to it. This secret message must be the clue Stark needs to find a cure for himself. But they weren't sure how this clue will help him. They would just have to wait and see.
