[ Coming in soon after Dabi's revelation and his conviction at the hospital to save him, Shouto is aware of the war to come but little else. Like all the heroes, he's left preparing for a strike that's likely to come sooner rather than later. His part in it is already set. There was only ever one choice after Endeavor made it clear he couldn't face his progeny in battle, leaving Shouto to face his brother in his stead. Despite what it might seem like, it wasn't obligation that made him accept the inevitable but the need to face the skeletons in their closet head-on. He was prepared to face his brother, not because he was a villain and he a hero, but because he was hurting by himself just like he had been. Having been dragged out of that darkness by Midoriya, he was prepared to do the same for his brother.
A pointed statement. If it was meant to make him uncomfortable, it doesn't work. He's long given up on feeling guilty for what Endeavor did. It took him a long time, but he separated his guilt from his father's actions. Accepting that line, he lets it slide over him, and wash off.
The same is not true with the latter half of his statement. He stares, stunned and a little shaken by that revelation. ]
