#hawks falling into villiany theory

[foundouthatdabiistouyatodoroki]

do you believe hawks decent into villiany?you reblogged a post about it.

Do I believe hawks is going to fall into villainy? Yes.Mainly I found the whole “Hawks is going to die death flag” idea distasteful.

BNHA is a feel good series. We had Nighteye already die with his character arc resolved ending in a high note. It would be far too depressing if Hawks died with a grim conclusion of his arc;for a feel-good series having Hawks die would be gloomy end to his character arc.

The person who first mentioned this is cutiesabyle who brought up this theory and made a lot of good points about it.

In chapter 191, Hawks and Dabi’s conversation in these panels  is what made me think that Hawks is turning to the dark side. If you look at the panels his face is darkened out in them:

Hawk’s face covered in darkness while he’s talking to Dabi in these panels. After his conversation with Dabi when he leaves his back is swallowed up by the darkness while Dabi is walking to the light.

This could refer to him falling into darkness.Hawks is compared to the fall of Icarus (the Greek myth); that why a lot of people believed he would die when they read this.

But, it’s something entirely different.This meant that Hawks will fall in a more disgraced unheroic or better yet turn into a villainy.

As hamliet described it if you see the BNHA volume 21 cover it would be this:

Hamliet:Hawks has his back turned, and in front of Hawks are blue-ish flames and darkness, which seems to be again symbolic of the panel in which Hawks walked towards the darkness, perhaps foreshadowing a future fall to villainy and of course, representing the deal we know he’s struck with Dabi.

As hamliet once described about Hawks on volume 21 this could be the passage of another hint of Hawks falling into villainy and this cover foreshadows it.

Having more free time may seem like he’s carefree response to Endeavor, but when you look even deeper you see a glimpse of his background.

Here in the flashback  of chapter 192 of Hawks back when he was a child,  in this panel he looks to be from a impoverished background holding an Endeavor doll. The words “must become a hero” isn’t something Hawks has said. These words are from his handlers;not his words but the word of the people who leashed him.He was exploited at a young age because of his quirk and circumstances of his background:

All we see that his entire life he had no choice. He was never given a choice to live freely he was never given a choice.

Hawks was no more than a tool to be exploited when he’s given are orders he can’t turn down. Hawks is very well aware this but obeys their orders.Hawks mentioned the investigation with Gran Torino: he hides in his hood when asked. He can’t talk back to his captors but instead jokes not to earn their ire.

These people control Hawks. He’s treated as a tool by these people.

They exploit hawks for their own convenience. Hawks is very well aware that he is essentially a captive; he knows this and he can’t escape because the people are the ones leashing him and handling his reins. Hawks is used as a sacrificial pawn by his handlers and forced to investigate the league of villains.Hawks acknowledges this, bows, and does what he thinks has to do for his goal.

What does this say about hawks he was never free was never given a free choice? This has a much more deeper meaning.

Hawks is self-sacrificing by nature; perhaps too self sacrificing.His self sacrificing nature is going to rear its ugly head.

During Tokoyami internship Hawks is isolated from the rest of his sidekicks being flown too fast and to show the difference what he has gone through.

Tokoyami interns with him which allows Hawks not only to get info on the USJ incident, but also shows how he sees himself in Tokoyami.

This personal moment with Hawks giving wisdom to Tokoyami: “no need for you to be on the ground.” These words reflect a part of himself that is trapped with no way out and cannot fly away.

Speaking of which, didn’t Hawk’s intern have a darkness quirk?Tokoyami who has the dark shadow quirk, which could also be a part that foreshadows his fall into villainy; the personal moment he said birds should not be confined to the ground could be another foreshadow of him flying the coop.

Hawks is a fan of Endeavor; he admires Endeavor for never giving up despite it looking impossible. This is genuine.

We seen in the way he talks to Endeavor he doesn’t know that Endeavor abused his family for the sake of his entire ambition to surpass All Might. This is going to be heartbreaking when Hawks finds out what Endeavor has done to his family for his ambition. Tragically Hawks and Endeavor formed a genuine bond; finding out what he’s done will hurt him deeply–not just Hawks but Endeavor as well. The truth is going to hurt the both of them let me point something about betrayal in writing it’s done by someone you trusted the most as it says down here:

is done by someone you trusted the most betrayal if its someone you trust.

Horikoshi plays around with symbolism seen when he first introduced Hawks. Who he in many ways is related to the Icarus theory with the opening quote: flys to fast for his own good. His quirk using feathers relates to the wax wings Icarus had.This is seen again when Hawks gives Endeavor his feathers to fight being burning up resembling

Icarus wings when they melted from the sun. There’s an interesting detail about about Endeavor: his super move being “prominence burn” came from solar prominence. Endeavor could be the metaphorically “sun” to the theory. Hawks will burn if he gets to close to Endeavor;the whole “flying too close to the sun” would refer to how Hawks becomes too close to Endeavor.

If he does, Hawks will find out the truth faster than anyone, and if he found out the truth what Endeavor has done he will get burned. The fall could mean his fall into villainy and Dabi could have something to do with it

Let’s  talk about Hawks’s character. Hawks is very carefree smiling and joking with the situation even joking around with Endeavor.He doesn’t take things too seriously when in reality he is surprising hardworking and diligent.During the Hood attack, Hawks managed to remain cool-headed in the crisis shown to be very calm in stressful situations not panicking when things got worse. Hawks is sharp and quick on the uptake, catches on faster than anyone noted by several characters. Hawks is an info leech and good at reading at people like when he works he is looking for information and he’s observant and his able to think quickly giving him the ability manipulated the situation based on the people’s characters.

Something I would like to point out about Dabi.Dabi was put in charge of the raid pulled of the forest mission.I pointed there’re a lot of holes in the plan in my post yes the plan may have a lot of things to point out but despite the forest raid only suffering three casualties and things he did not predict he completed his objective he completed his objective in capturing Katsuki.Dabi didn’t only pull off the summer camp raid he also helped the league of villains in making UA take a huge blow to its reputation hero’s protecting its own students.

Dabi achieves the same thing with Endeavor who recently became number one.He send a high end nomu Hood, a nomu stronger than the others on Endeavor succeeds in severely wounding endeavor this started to cause people to question the security of the hero society in question. Dabi drove Endeavor and Hawks into a corner. Even Hawks was greatly unsettled by this.

Hawks was the one that Dabi notified about the nomu Dabi threw Hood on him and didn’t tell him that he is stronger.He set the hood nomu in a heavily populated area of the city knowing full well that hero always save the lives of others first to further drive the heroes in a corner.Dabi manipulated the situation one that Hawks didn’t predict, Hawks who is perceptive and observant was run over by Dabi. Dabi pulled all this over Hawks’ head.Dabi is the only person who gets under hawk’s skin  Dabi is the one who made Hawks lose his cool.

Here are things you need to note about Dabi. I mentioned that Dabi is not unintelligent; I stated before in his stats. Dabi’s good at seeing through people this is seen with Snatch, Eraserhead, even Shoto. During the forest raid mission Dabi distracts the pros from the league’s true objective: Dabi was keeping the heroes on their toes while the plan proceeded.

He knows what makes people tick goes under people’s skins and uses that to his advantage.He attacks when they don’t retaliate like with Endeavor and Hawks weakened after the fight with hood, as seen with Snatch when he used “hero always save the lives of others first”

he identifies Snatch’s weakness.

He noticed that the rational Aizawa is fierce and asks if he’s gotten unders his skin:

Dabi knows that Aizawa cares about his students leaving behind a cryptic message which visibly unhinged Aizawa.

Dabi taunts Vlad, anticipating his reaction and saying that he voicing completed his objective while driving the rest of them in a corner.

Dabs ran both Hawks and Shoto in circles. Shoto is very powerful,quick and smartest in his class, known to be very agile, yet Dabi catches Katsuki in front of him.

These attacks are done by Dabi. He pulled off two successfully He. led two of the major operations that put the league of villains in the spotlight. Dabi would is one put the league of villains in the spotlight Dabi might really have a big effect on the media as a whole. Despite his success and failure of the last two attacks he was really good at doing what he is doing. Despite being called weak he could be one of the most dangerous members that’s how deadly he is this demonstrated just how ruthless Dabi is as a villain.

What does that half to mean for the media attention for Dabi? Well in the meta liberation arc Himiko doesn’t want to be pitted by others she wants to live life her own normal way:

She never wants to die and be painted as tragic figure. Himiko doesn’t want to be used for media attention especially for the meta liberation’s army motives.

Himiko’s backstory would not be seen as sympathetic I mentioned in of my posts. it won’t work since her backstory is far from sympathetic it wouldn’t be justifiable just be picked apart by critics why more quirk restriction. The meta liberation army tried to use Himiko to show the truth but unfortunately she’s not painted as a tragic lead that the meta liberation is going for as Himiko is not a sympathetic figure.

Dabi and Himiko are foils when they are first introduced:

Dabi seems to have the flare for the dramatics seen in the beginning of the forest raid standing on top with his opening speech.

with Vlad he talks about how the league of villians already completed the objectives with abudting one of their students how the loss of faith will spread like wildfire all the while pinned down.

While talking to Snatch he’s happy that he got media recognition for his burn murders:

Dabi seems to be happy that he is getting more media recognition for his villainy. Himiko’s story would not garner sympathy, but Dabi’s will. Which would make his reveal being Endeavor’s son turned villain exposing Endeavor is going to cause public outrage. His story would have more media attention than Toga’s; Dabi could be painted as sympathetic, not Toga.

People said that Hawks is going to find out about Dabi’s identity; here’s the thing” he won’t.As I mentioned before Dabi ran Hawks in circles he knows something that he doesn’t and he holds something over Hawks’ head that and Dabi is incredibly ruthless he knows how to get under people’s skin. Dabi is going to spring this on Hawks in a more dramatic and unexpected way. Also Hawks’ entire situation is that he’s trapped :exploited and used since his childhood.

Hawks would be integral into finding out that Touya is Dabi in the theory. His bond with Endeavor would also serve as a focal point for his character. This would be very great narratively speaking for a hero becoming a villain. Dabi would be the one who is responsible for his fall by revealing that he is Touya Todoroki and Endeavor’s abuse.

This is why I believe Hawks will fall into villainy and why I don’t believe in the death flags but him falling into the darkness. Thanks to cutisayble that brought up this theory and allowing me to talk about it.
