If you’re curious about the affect of story pacing. Especially in a released medium such as weekly manga and seasonal anime. Look no further than Hawks in season 6 of My Hero Academia and the equivalent chapters in the manga.

Twice’s death take place in chapter 266. The battle that killed him ended in chapter 267. After the battle, Hawks shows up in the manga several times but only in the background and never in a prominent role until his origin story in chapter 299. Thats a 32 chapter gap. Chapter 266 was released in March 2020. Chapter 299 was released in February 2021. That’s almost a one year gap.

Meanwhile in the anime, Twice’s death take place in episode 3. The battle lasted until episode 4. Hawks origin story takes place in episode 16. October 2022 until January 2023. That’s only a 3 month gap.

I didn’t realize how much of a difference that makes until I saw people’s reaction to Hawks this season. When chapter 266 was released, people hated Hawks for killing Twice. It lasted quite a while too. It only begins to slow when chapter 299 came out a year later.

In contrast, I was expecting pretty much the same reaction after season 6 episode 3, only for 3 months later people are simping for scarred short haired Hawks instead???

A week begins anew, and with it, time for some fucking suffering y`all. We were all too happy and comfortable with that Spy x Family chapter, time to get the equivalent of a crowbar to the knees, I`m talking of course about BNHA, and good fucking lord, are we in a complicated scenario right now. Hawks was about to kill Twice then Dabi is about to kill Hawks, and by the logical conclusion Twice is going to kill Dabi. All is not daijoubu in this world, so let`s get started with Chapter 266: Happy Life.

OH WOW, I WONDER IF THIS IS HOW I`LL BE FEELING ONCE THIS CHAPTER IS OVER, HORIKOSHI.

Oh wait, for a moment I thought we had took a wrong turn into Undead + Unlucky. Good thing we haven`t, because Fukko would beat all your asses and make you three work together.

Anyway, let`s see if those chicken wings are already well-done.

OH WOW WHAT THE FUCK THERE DABI

YOU WERE GONNA KILL TWICE TO GET RID OF HAWKS, WASN`T YOU?

YOU MOTHERFUCKER, THE GUY THAT WAS ABOUT TO KILL HIM HAD TO SAVE HIM- YOU BETTER NOT FUCKING SAY ANYTHING AGAINST HIM NOW, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW IT WILL ALL BE BULLSHIT. YOU DON`T CARE ABOUT TWICE AS WELL, THAT MUCH IS OBVIOUS.

Bnha Actor Au: Manga Edition 📘

[fivekrystalpetals]

I personally see Dabi as the worst of the lot but his family will still save him somehow. I find that way more interesting than him having a secret kind side.

I believe he always has had a kind side he doesn’t show out much because he feels there is no point. For me, Touya is a walking example of someone who could have turned out to be much much worse than what he is now. He has been burnt beyond recognition by (and (in)directly because of) his own hero dad yet he believed the society can be changed and rebuilt with the help of real heroes.

See how he encouraged Twice even if he had no reason to do so:

(Not sure if Toga’s kind words were heard by the real Twice, so this scene probably marks the last words of reassurance (that he didn’t do anything wrong) from his friend before he died)

And this:

Also, the scene with Toga: (this one personally didn’t make me as emotional as the high-five scene but it is canon so yeah)

Similarly, although he felt he was no longer needed in his old home, he did go out to play with his siblings as soon as they called him. I don’t know how to put it (and I don’t have many canon examples where he is openly showing his kind side) so yeah, it is more of a ‘read-between-lines’ kind of thing.

I do agree with his family saving him but not with Dabi being the worst of the lot. Touya has been trying his best from the day he learnt to walk got his quirk. In fact, he was only practicing what is expected from every hero aspirant kid—the story’s key motto: Go beyond yourself, right? He trained his quirk till he burnt himself (I can handle little burns) bc he was made to feel that if his quirk isn’t valuable to his dad, then he, as a person, isn’t valuable.

It’s Endeavor’s fault for ignoring his efforts and not doing the bare minimum every child needs from their parents. Touya only sought the least from him (his demands even went from look at me endeavor to a mere I can do as well as him if you give me a chance and his dad couldn’t do even that) the least if the parent(s) decide to bring a child into the world. Kids are not meant to be born for experimentation or for fulfilling some outrageous ambitions the parents couldn’t. Period.

Just realized the Twice episode will probably air mid-late October and despite having over 2 years to emotionally prepare, I'm still not ready to see it animated

Dabi and Twice, Saving, and Hand Symbolism

I think that Dabi high fiving Twice is interesting when you consider Hand Symbolism

Here Dabi is smiling, telling Twice to join the rest. To leave Hawks to him. He’s offering help, he’s letting him run away. Twice sees this and runs towards him

And then they high-five, like Twice is tagging Dabi into the fight. More than a show of their relationship, it shows a sort of Save in a way we’ve seen when two characters hold hands in this series

After this, Twice tries to escape but Hawks is a step further, and Dabi, again, tries to lead Hawks away from Twice

But even after this distraction, when Twice makes it out of the room, Hawks stabs and kills him

Dabi and Twice’s high-five, the brief touch, wasn’t a hand hold at all. It was an attempt at Saving, but not a full save

This is what we would call a full save

A hand hold, where one would take another’s hand and actually hold it

But Dabi and Twice’s hands

Were a brief touch

A full hand-hold symbolizes a person who has been saved and seen, who has been offered help fully. Dabi tried to help Twice, but Twice died in the end

They only high-fived, which, to me, shows that even before it happened that they wouldn’t succeed. That Twice would not be saved. That the person who tried to save him failed in doing so

I just think this is very interesting considering some of the fandom think Dabi never cared for Twice. I thought so too when I first read this chapter, but when we look at Hand Symbolism and how it is used, even in small scene likes this, I think it says a lot about the narrative and intentions of the characters

everyone mad @ hawks rn
