Dunno, looking from the most recent chapter(191), the theory seems to be much more credible now than ever.
Not that I like it though, not everyone who has similar powers has to be related, otherwise if you try to link everyone who has some form of super strength in the manga and say they're all related, that'd be pretty preposterous.

This is apparently a theory by the author
What the hell does "theory by the author" even mean anyway? Why would an author has to theorize about his own work?(I mean unless the author is someone like Mashima or Kubo who never plan ahead, but Horikoshi certainly isn't that type of author)

I'm back because i didn't think of this the first time i commented, But i believe the user "HyphenSam" meant the author as in the artist. Horikoshi has done nothing to confirm or "headcanon" this. I would know, im a weeb who follows all his postings and press conferences closely. Unless my japanese is shit, which there's a chance it is, and i mistranslated something, This has never been mentioned. I don't even think anyones asked him about it, Since this seems to be a western fan theory. But i might be wrong.
The artist for this one seems to also have gotten Touya's hair color right, since as of late (nov.2019) it seems his hair was white or light gray. Many would rather draw him with red hair, and even the anime did that mistake, but that color fits with what was said about him, that he had a strong fire but his mother's weaker constitution. And Dabi is not exactly strong physically.
Among other details, Endeavor has never seen Dabi clearly and up close. One time he was outside (the operation in Kamino ward), the other he was severely injured with a bloodied eye and barely standing. Not a guarantee he'd recognize Dabi as someone familiar anyway, but still.
