Anybody Else Disappointed With How Hawk’s Been Written Lately?
(Exclaimer: I still really like MHA & Hawks)
WARNING RECENT MANGA SPOILERS Personally, ever since he killed Twice, Hawk’s character has slowly gone downhill.
It started when there weren’t any moments where Hawk’s feelings on killing Twice weren’t shown. I know he didn’t want to, but seeing Hawks feel the guilt would coincide well with the hero society’s corruption.
Another thing that would’ve been interesting is Hawk’s having mixed feelings on Endeavor after learning about how the latter treated his children. For a long time, Hawks saw Endeavor as a role model like Midoriya and Bakugo with All Might, so I think learning that his hero isn’t so different from his own father would be good character development. Hawks would feel confused on how he should feel about Endeavor for a bit, but will learn to see Endeavor as human after seeing him wanting to atone for what he did. It would be good for the plot too since it’s a parallel to how civilians heavily admire and rely on the heroes while forgetting that they aren’t perfect people.
I don’t like Hawk’s ending. Instead of becoming the new HC president, I would’ve preferred Hawks taking a break from the hero life and learn to live as Keigo Takami. Hawks lived most of life training to be a hero and a tool for the Hero Commission. He deserves to step back. Also, with the Chapter 429 leaks, I didn’t like Hawks new idea with the hero rankings. It doesn’t change the core issues with hero society. I’m going to be hopeful that the last chapter will show positive changes.
Something else I didn’t like was Hawks saying he abandoned his family and should’ve helped. That couldn’t be further from the truth. His parents abused him and his mom abandoned him to the hero commission. Hawks was just a kid. It was also in bad taste when Hawks commended Shoto for forgiving Endeavor when Hawks couldn’t with his parents. This makes it seem like not forgiving your abuser is a bad thing, which it’s not. The main point of moving on with your trauma is to heal from it, not forgive your abuser. If Hawks couldn’t forgive his parents, that’s okay.
I still really like Hawks, but I feel like he wasn’t written to his full potential.
I just remembered everybody being dissapointed with Best Jeanist being alive because it ment that Hawks didn’t sacrifice him and that made Hawks ark more boring.
Besides the fact that he just murdered Twice by literally backstabbing him, after claiming he wanted to help him and we can clearly see Hawks beeing deeply flawed if helping to him means: the way he wants to help and only the way he wants to help.
But also later when we see Hawks and Jeanist interact we see that Hawks wants to be like Twice, he wants to be such a good person like Twice was, which is deeply disturbing. He just killed the man he himself sais he aspires to be like.
Because he didn’t want to capture him, because Twice didn’t want Hawks screwed up version of help.
And Beast Jeanist is part of this whole scam to get behind the PLF and the Commisson would not have gained anything if Hawks actually killed him. The commisson might sacrifice people, but their current no 3 top hero? He’s too valuable for that and he was currently not in his best state anyways, so the solution to use him for the scam is actually very logical and it gives us a lot about his character.
Jeanist is willing to spend months in a coma for the commission, showing how deep he is in the system and how deeply flawed the lone fact that the commission and Hawks came up with this is. But he doesn’t even realize this.
You can see this on one side as a heroic act, of giving so much to make sure a dangerous organization is being monitored and lastly defeated but on the other end it is complelty horrifying that the no 2 pro hero suggests that someone should go through dangerous medical treatments to do this.
And Jeanist doesn’t even seem to see it that way because he is just too caught up in the system to come up with the fact that no one should ever ask you for something like this.
Just like they should not let a bunch of teenagers fighting a group of terrorists, which by the hero commission the PLF are. Just like Endevour should not get away for abusing his family. Just like Hawks should be accountable for Twice murder.
I think of all the big 3 Jeanist is the best example of someone who so far hasn’t actually commited any crime (I am not counting the suffocation right now, because he could have let loose, we just don’t know if he would have) and got away with it, but he still defends and supports those who do. He is so deep in the system he doesn’t even realize that he is part of the problem and he is a great example of:
“You are not outside the problem. You are not objective.“
“If you’re part of the system, you’re part of the problem.“
Pre-PLF arc Hawks: Sleep is for the weak and the dead
Post-PLF arc (fanon) Hawks: I am now both
Hnnnngh Dabi confessing that he's always wanted to see Hawks off his pedestal, see him wounded and dirty, and was willing to be the one to do it even though he does genuinely like Hawks. Morbid curiosity rather than hate and anger, if you will. But in a moment of vulnerability, all Hawks can say in response to that is a quiet, tired, confused, "why does everyone want to hurt me?".
His parents hurt him, the commission hurts him, his fans pull and yank his feathers out, villains he's never met want to destroy him. And now Dabi, who takes care of Hawks and is kinder to him than anyone he's ever met, still wants Hawks to be at a low and wants to be the one to put him there. Hawks doesn't understand what's wrong with him that it always ends up like this
I wish someone would draw this meme as hawks and the hero commission president lol
Can someone help me find a fanfic? It involves Momo, Izuku, Shinso and I think Himiko being trained by the Hero Commission to be villains. They escape and become vigilantes.
HC : Hawks, we need you to spy on the LOV. Possibly using this person as an in
HC : *slides pic of Dabi*
Hawks : ooh Honeypot mission!
HC : No! That's not what we-
Hawks : shhh I've got it, I'll seduce that bad boy so hard.

The recorder sputtered, before beeping.
“Hello, my name is Tsukauchi Naomasa, detective of the Major Crimes Division of the Shizuoka Prefecture, serving at station 577 in Musutafu. My quirk is called Lie Detector, registration number 321459301. I will be explicitly stating whether a given response is a truth or a lie. Alright, All Might. Let’s begin. For the record, can you please state your name, age, quirk, and date of birth…”
The hand-held recorder popped and sputtered. A gloved hand slammed down near it, causing it to jump. It popped once more, before continuing to play.
“Toshinori Yagi, age fifty-two, quirkless, birthday, June 10th.”
“Thank you,” papers rustled loudly, and the voices after were muffled. The detective had placed a file over his recorder, “Now, will you please state your relation to the villain All for One?”
“He’s my son.”
