I just realized the guy making rocks to block the entrance on the first page of BNHA chapter 264 was the guy who was booing Bakugou at the Sports festival, who Aizawa got angry at and told to took for a new job.

Well he got a new job it seems: professional secret entrance sealer. He's showing a lot of promise in his new career.

Can we talk about Twice??

Can you imagine the immense guilt and pain he must be feeling? This is the second time now that he has brought a new recruit to the league only for them to turn out to not have the league’s best interests at heart.

It probably took a lot of courage to trust Hawks after Overhaul but Twice trusted him anyways because he genuinely thought of Hawks as a friend.

I’ve personally always liked Twice because he genuinely seems to care about his teammates but after the incident with his clones, Magne’s death, and now this. Will he be the same? I think he’s beginning to lose faith in people and that in later chapters he’ll deal with severe trust issues.

Edit: OR HE’LL JUST DIE??? I GUESS??

SPOILERS FOR BNHA CHAPTER 264!!

Okay that whole dialogue between Hawks and Twice left me breathless. I was hooked even with my sub-par Japanese skills and having to tab between the leaks and jisho. Twice sobbing and saying he trusted Hawks? Hawks telling Twice he’s a good person and he’ll help him get better? Twice calling himself pathetic? G O L D.

That whole scene was the highlight of the chapter. I didn’t even bother trying to read the rest besides a cursory skim through.

I know that some people think that Dabi looks excited at the end, but I think he looks furious to the point of being unhinged. Like when someone is so angry that they smile and laugh.

Fun fact for those who don’t read Japanese: in the final panel Dabi says “Twice, you’re not bad. The bad ones are all of the heroes.” EXCEPT “heroes” is written as something along the lines of “scumbags” with “hero” over it in furigana, lol. I wish there was an equivalent to that device in English.

OK OK. I've said it before.

But y'all were too busy shipping hot wings .

Letting Hawks into the league is like dating someone who cheated on another person with you .

A cheater will cheat again. A traitor will betray again.

What do you mean it's Wednesday already?!

No no no no no

Hawks and Twice are my favorites too, so I'm cheerleader for them both, and I'm afraid for them.

No matter who will have the upper hand, I will cry and enjoy everything at the same time

Series Review Pt. 1/3

So, this isn’t even a YouTube video where you have the advantage of hearing a voice over a recording with snappy editing to lighten the mood or convey feeling; but believe me that there was a lot of earnest sincerity put into the review this time around.

But before I put the rest of it under the cut, there are some corrections/clarifications I want to put down about my last review that I believe we're significant shortcomings on my part.

My first, and probably most MAJOR goof was my choice of words in trying to describe the scene with Hawks and Twice at the end of 263 - “ he clearly hasn’t killed Twice yet, and we don’t know why, but if he has to he’s prepared to do so without hesitation or remorse.”

BIG OOF. I hadn’t even been looking much at others’ opinions and the common-enough impression that Hawks doesn’t care about Twice at all/is incapable of empathy/ONLY concerned with his mission from the Commission. When I looked back at my own review, though I didn’t have any indication anyone believed I was one of those people (“without remorse” being the problematic phrase in question), I could easily see how others could get the impression and decided to wait until the next review to do a better job instead of just saying I would. My views on that particular scene will be clear later on, but at least that’s out of the way in case that was keeping people from reading this in the first place.

Second, I failed to arrange my observation points in a more ideal order. If anything, the fact that we were seeing that last page from Twice’s perspective should have been the first point. This mistake made it sound like a neutral assessment of the situation instead of an observation through the context of Jin's feelings. This ended up confusing even myself, as someone who usually writes these reviews solo, into forgetting to factor in that Twice's perspective may be warping the perception of Hawks guarding him into one of intent to kill while forgetting that the Hero Code forbids killing others unless it's truly a necessary last resort. For some reason, Sad Man's Parade and Twice's two-double limit also slipped my mind which brings me to the last point.

Third, I rushed things. When I rush, I make mistakes, sometimes pretty sloppy ones. It has been a ROUGH couple of weeks to be a Hawks or villain stan, even more so if you’re both, so for some reason I felt like I needed to get my thoughts out there quickly. I don’t have any kind of real incentive to do so other than a faster response - I don’t make any money off this, don’t have any relevance algorithm to feed as if I was on YouTube or Twitter, and I’m not the only half-decently known blog to hold these opinions so I don’t know what I was thinking. That’s my problem, but that doesn’t mean I have to make it anyone else’s.

For complete transparency, I’ve been reading and re-reading through the entire series canon again, starting with Hawks’ manga debut, and reviewing the entire series’ events and in-universe history, and have been taking literal whole pages of notes and drafts since Thursday the 12th. I’m glad I did because it brought to mind things that often get left out of pockets of fandom discussion who hyper-focus on their circles of interest while forgetting that each individual section is meant to work with the whole.

That’s what we’ll be working with today, and additional thanks goes to @baezetsu and @dorito9708 for volunteering as proofreaders and editors to make this more focused and concise. If you’re interested please keep reading. A fair warning, this is what we in the professional field call a “long-ass post, no seriously guys grab a drink and a snack we’re gonna be here a while.” It's actually so long I have to split it up into parts because Tumblr Mobile is stupid and doesn't like making the "read more" function available to the mobile version.

So here we go, people, let’s try this again one last time…

Where we’re at in Chapter 264 (or at least, you know, ignoring literally everyone in the series that isn’t these two) is Twice and Hawks’ confrontation in the study room; but let’s put a pin in that for now and come back.

The biggest piece of information to keep in mind is that even though both these characters are currently front-and-center and have major plot and symbolic value in the series, they are still not the main characters. Their conflict is also not the central conflict. Let’s zoom out to the big picture and see what happens when we put everything together at the end.

The whole inciting incident of the series is when humanity began to display superhuman abilities in a few random individuals. These abilities are neither inherently good or bad - they are constantly intended as neutral with the potential being dependent on the user. Eventually these abilities began to be collectively termed as “quirks” - literally just a single facet of each person’s unique identity. From a social commentary standpoint, quirks have been used as a narrative stand-in for the unique situational circumstances or combinations of circumstances individuals may find themselves with that are either mostly or completely outside of their control like aptitude, physical ability, race/appearance, mental state, and inherited societal station. While more of these examples have been explicitly stated and inserted into the story later on, quirks still serve as the main catalyst and lens by which these topics are discussed.

Because of the initially new and unfamiliar nature of these abilities, people who possessed them faced descrimination and persecution despite having no say in whether or not they had them; and some who did possess these abilities began abusing their power. Taking advantage of this, a man calling himself One-for-All took unwanted quirks from people and redistributed them claiming to want to help others and bring about peace but merely wished to amass power and a following for his own gain. Morally upright individuals eventually rose to the occasion and placed themselves between innocent bystanders and evildoers, earning no official reward or compensation for their work, though eventually they became so effective that they became recognized and endorsed if they went through proper governmental training and channels. These endorsed specialty crime fighters came to be dubbed “heroes.”

All-For-One had risen to prominence by this point and his loyal following actively supported him in his now blatant criminal empire despite the morally reprehensible actions he committed which incessantly terrorized innocent bystanders - earning him the title Symbol of Evil or Symbol of Fear. Eventually a hero named All Might rose up to specifically deal with All-For-One’s reign of terror, having worked his way up from obscurity taking down criminals and saving civilians in unprecedented numbers, determined to create a world where everyone could feel safe in the face of danger. Though only succeeding in beating AFO into hiding All Might ushered in a new era of safety and prosperity earning him the title Symbol of Peace.

Therein lies the central message - “It’s not the situation you’re given that determines your worth or potential but what you choose to do with it” - and the main conflict is - “I want to use what I’ve been given for my own benefit" vs "I want to use what I’ve been given for others.” Deku and Shiguraki are merely the next generation iteration of this conflict distilled down to their simplest essence. Deku's desire is to save anyone who needs help the moment he realizes they need it. Shiguraki wants to remove people's sense of security regardless of their character or situation.

This conflict is initially framed as simple - a clear black and white/good and bad dynamic that’s easy to see from a distance; but as characters and groups developed over time it’s become more and more difficult to tell the two sides apart. It was not a coincidence that immediately after introducing the clear-as-day bad guys to the series we were presented with the idea that who we perceived to be “good guys” could be bad people doing good things or that people could do good things for the wrong reasons when we were presented with the personal conflicts that Bakugo, Shinsou, and Todoroki all faced at the Sports Festival that were either their internal struggles with the way the were perceived by others or were their personal struggles with the way they perceived themselves. Immediately after that, we were introduced to Stain's criticism of modern heroes and shown who would come to be the core members of the League of Villains.

At the current events in the series we’ve waded through so many shades of grey we’re expected to determine who’s a “hero” and “villain” not by what they say but what they do, how they do it, and why they do it. The individual members of the League of Villains touch on various ways a person might be driven to a life dedicated either to the pursuit of personal satisfaction with no concern to others or to the active pursuit of destroying others, and generally the villains are some of the most morally gray characters we have in the series, though not all of them - the two most notable morally gray “good guys” are Hawks and Endeavor.

There’s one last thing to note about how the series chooses to distinguish morally gray characters as “good” and “bad,” and that ultimately boils down to the choices they make with the hand they are dealt - that being to help or to harm others. This is not quite the same thing as a “hero” and a “villian” (I know, as if it wasn’t confusing enough), but the series has now gone to great lengths to make a clear distinction between the ideals of heroism and the institution of heroism.

Looking at the difference in institutions and ideals as the series presents them we get a better picture of the actual core issues the series seeks to address. The institution of heroism is a utilitarian approach to maintaining a sense of order and safety, and it does so by incentivising people to resolve as many public altercations as possible in exchange for wealth and fame. Criminals are those who break the law regardless of the motivation for the crime or its degree of impact. The institution does not take into account factors that may drive someone to commit a crime nor is it concerned with the core motivations of those enforcing the sense of order.

On the opposite hand, the ideal of heroism offers no reward, no recognition, may require some amount of suffering on the part of the hero, and never guarantees that the victim in question will be saved. Conversely, villainy/evil is any action taken for one's own gain with zero regard to the impact on others and/or is any action committed with malicious intent. These definitions are about moral obligation and human to human connection.

While having a strong correlation (helping others because it's right usually helps the majority in the long run, and doing harm is often ultimately bad for the majority) these two schools of thought are able to function independently of each other. In other words, a criminal can be a good person fallen on hard times (like stealing food to feed their family, but only as much as they need from someone who won’t notice it missing) while a “professional hero” can be an evil person doing good things for the wrong reasons (like obsessing over gaining wealth and popularity with no mind to collateral damage they may cause). Most characters are categorized and even described in-universe as morally aligning with the institution they associate with; but several have been explicitly noted as exceptions to the rule such as Gentle Criminal and La Brava, Endeavor, and Twice.

Are we properly confused yet? Great, because there’s one more layer to consider! What do we make of someone who is trying to do a good thing (like saving as many people as possible from a known threat) but to do so has to make a choice that might leave a few people in the fire? Which outcome do we use to decide if this is a good person or a bad one? Do we judge based on intent or on the outcome?

Now we zoom back in to Hawks and Twice, but we’ll pick that up in Part Two.

Part Three

Boku No Hero Academia Chapter 264 SPOILERS

(Twice SNAPPED )

The heroes have them surrounded.

Looks like we have another earthbender here folks.

The people are warning Re-destro about how royally fucked they are and he's still got this happy look on his face as his world crumbles all around him.

Lol Re-destro is not having a good time.

Is that Denki screaming in the background?

Lol Denki you're doing great sweety. I'd appreciate it if Lightningbolt could not shock the life put of Pikachu thank you very much.

Oh never mind Edge Shot to the rescue. "I just punctured a hole in one of your lungs so try not to move around to much." says Edge Shot as impales 20 or so villains at the same time while Midnight puts them all to sleep with her quirk.

It looks like Midnight is using her whips to spread her quirk (the name of which I'm to lazy to look up). Are the whips actually fans? The sound effects says brush tho. Is she brushing her quirk at them?

Hey wait. Isn't this that 1B kids quirk? The one with the exposed teeth. I can't remember his name.

His name is Honenuku (thank you Horikoshi for the gentle reminder) and it is, in fact, his quirk. And Komori coming in with the throat mushrooms to make sure they don't fight their way out. You go guys.

Gang Orca is complementing the kids on a job well done while he and a bunch of other heroes charge what's left of the Mansion.

We then cut to Hawks who is presumably talking to Twice about how unbelievably difficult it was to get the information to the pros. He had to make a cypher an everything. He goes on to explain that since the enemies numbers were growing and with how dangerous Twice's quirk is he couldn't afford to wait any longer, and that basically the only reason he hung out with Twice so much is because he wanted to keep an eye on him at all times. Hawks' codename should be The Heart Breaker instead.

I think the super creepy looking eyes on Hawks is supposed represent what Twice is seeing right now. Speaking of Twice, he looks so betrayed. And he's thinking about what happened with Overhaul. Oh no Twice. I actually feel really bad for him cause he genuinely trusted Hawks.

Twice says he shouldn't have trusted Hawks to which Hawks replies "Yeah thanks for that by the way" like damn Hawks he gets it. He fucked up. You don't have to twist the knife too.

Hawks says he'll help Twice get back on his feet when this is all over and that he thinks Twice is a good person.

Twice is not taking this well at all. He's not buying the hole "I'll help you start over" bit and honestly, I don't blame him. He's a criminal. There's no way he's not going to prison, I don't care how many "friends" Hawks has in the commission. Anyway Twice is so distraught by this betrayal that he does the anime thing where the characters take off their mask to show how emotional they are, except in this case it was ripped in half.

Hawks said he doesnt want to fight Twice and Twice, the amazing being of destruction he is, responds with "That sounds like a you problem" his exact words and i cannot stop laughing as a result.

All his clones are crying. It really is a sad man's parade. Hawks do you see what you did? Are happy with yourself now? Btw, I'm not a psychiatrist or anything but I'm pretty sure that's an incredibly unhealthy way of thinking.

What do you mean "To be continued" where is the normal ending card with Izuku's dorky face.

I'm going to assume that's Hawks narrating there. He thinks heroes are scum? So he does feel bad about betraying him. Or does he mean Heroes in general. Is that panel of him a flashback? It looks like one but a flashback of when?

And who the hell is Dabi about to kill? Is he on his way to help Twice? Is the Twice screaming in the background?

Will any of my questions be answered next chapter? Guess we'll find out soon, huh?

Until next time.

YALL

SO. IM DEAD.

Let me elaborate: I live for the theory that Hawks hates what he does and sees the good in the league, and that when it came time for him to fight them he would be torn over what he wants to do and what he should do. And based on this chapter, this may just be true.

He looks like he’s just given up hope, that he now has no other option other than to fight because that’s how he was raised. And he even calls himself and what he’s being forced to do “scum” and realizes that everything is just wrong.

So okay, huge chance that Hawks may switch sides.

However, there is more:

Here comes Dabi to the rescue; The character that has the most mysterious backstory and has been hinted at being Touya Todoroki. Now here he comes to most likely have his first real battle with Hawks, a character we also know to have a screwed up childhood like Touya’s childhood is assumed to be. Again, I may be pulling at tiny strings here, but I’m hoping, hoping, for a Touya Todoroki reveal within the next few chapters.

If it’s true that Dabi=Touya, then having him face off with another child experiment will surely bring some things to light.

But that's just a theory, a crack theory. See you Saturday.
