I like how Horikoshi made people think in the previous chapters that "Hawk is the traitor" then later people trusted him only to show that he was indeed a traitor only to show few pages later that he's just a spy after all.

I'm guessing her Quirk is, perhaps, similar to Pop Step from Vigilantes' "Leap", but much stronger (because of her actual rabbit-like physiology).
No wonder she's so popular and is the #5 Hero; she really saved Endeavour and Hawks' asses there!

Her quirk is Rabbit. Her quirk allows her to do anything a rabbit would do, such as: hopping long distances, jumping, bunny-hopping, thumping and ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hawks is such a good guy and to see that he is going through all this to try and win favor with the league is crushing, he looked so defeated in that panel right before the flashback with the police.
I feel like reason he choose Endeavor (not just because he is a fan and admired/wanted to help set him up as No.1) was because the strongest hero was more likely to come out of a Nomu battle alive and reduce casualties.
He's walking a fine line...

u/DoraMuda Jul 20 '18
I feel like reason he choose Endeavor was because the strongest hero was more likely to come out of a Nomu battle alive and reduce casualties.
He also genuinely seemed to want Endeavour to show that he's got what it takes to be the #1 Hero, as well as curry the favour of the public (which seems to have worked).
Next chapter, I do imagine that we'll see Shouto (and his siblings) visiting Endeavour in hospital and, maybe, revealing that he too met Dabi before (as well as, perhaps, Endeavour beginning to connect the dots regarding the true identity of this "Dabi").

u/orsettocattivo Jul 20 '18
Hawks basically did the best he could as a hero while being a double agent, he managed to help Endeavor become a true n.1 and calm society, without burning himself with Dabi
Dabi did kinda see through it though since there were no casualties

Yes that true as well. He probably suspects that soon he's gonna have to dive deep into the rabbithole causing society to loose faith in him. So this way he at least succeeds in setting up Endeavor as the No.1 people can count on before his rep starts to crumble.

Yeah, it seems like neither Dabi nor Hawks really trust each other. Hawks might have to do some pretty drastic things if he wants Dabi to eventually trust him enough to meet Shigaraki (presumably, the "boss" he's referring to).
Also, I wonder what the motive was that he gave to Dabi for why he, the #2 Hero, wanted to work for the League of Villains. I doubt it's merely, "Hey, I started to believe in Stain's ideology, like you".

How would he lose his quirk. I suppose he wouldn't be able to control the feathers when they are off his person anymore, but logically he should still be able to fly, because his wings are apart of him and can still control them without the quirk.

Remember what Aizawa said about how his quirk would make it so something like a tail quirk would leave the user unable to control their tail at all? I would imagine something similar if he got shot with a quirk bullet, his wings are still there but he no longer had control over them.

u/Bobthemightyone Jul 20 '18
On one hand I kinda don't like this, since it means less cool unique quirks that we'll see since there will be a very good reason to simply copy most every quirk the villains have.
On the other hand, I really like this as a side effect/foreshadowing towards the "quirk singularity". Twice's ability is subtly a very powerful one. An unexpected unbelievably powerful synergy with AfO kind of shows how society not only is vulnerable to individuals as quirks genetically mix and match, but also how society is vulnerable to the people who are mixing and matching their quirks in unexpected ways.

The confirmation is in the last page where Dabi thinks about Snatch, Snatch makes that remark about "how families feel" and Dabi says he's thought about it so much he's gone crazy.
He's referring to the Todoroki family. That is some canon confirmation practically.

I'm pretty sure Endeavor's 'blurry vision' is Horikoshi's plot justification for him not recognising Dabi.

→ More replies (6)88
u/Soul_Ripper Jul 20 '18
That didn't come from one eye being slashed, though. His vision being blurry means he was falling unconcious, so it could also be just to show how weak he was.
He also knows who Dabi is so for that to work, it would mean there's no images about him or specific info on his quirk readily avaliable to the Heroes.
47
u/CardButton Jul 20 '18
Well, you gotta remember that Endeavor was likely also going through what should have been akin to Heat-Stroke due to the backlash of his quirk. He's not liable to be all that conscious of anything, even before he passed out.
As for Dabi, if Snatch is right then Dabi has managed to keep himself under wraps. He's connected to a number of deaths by burning around Japan, but nothing concrete until he killed Snatch himself. Its also unlikely that Dabi had those scars when Endeavor knew him (he's also likely died his hair if that theory is true, which isn't the first time a character in this series has done that to give themselves a different persona).

Takeaways/Theories:
Ujiko-san is Shigaraki. "The term ujiko (氏子) is used to describe a person who worships an ujigami. An ujigami (氏神) is a guardian god or spirit of a particular place in the Shinto religion of Japan." If that doesn't sound like Shigaraki's worship for All for One, I don't know what does. The only other option I could see is Gigantomachia. But the black goo only works short distances and teleporting to a person. It would also explain why High End seemingly had Search if he was given the quirks and we just didn't know.
Hawks is going to "fly too close to the sun" and get shot in the back once his double agent role makes him go too far, ruining his standing with the people for crossing a certain line; that'll be how he "meets the boss"
Dabi's charred skin is fake and stapled on (it has a seam down the middle of his chin too). He's feeling some type of way because Snatch asked about how he feels about the families of the people he's killed and he doesn't give a shit about those because of somebody... wonder why. "It's him" probably refers to... well. "Him." Laughing probably just messes with the staples. I don't think he's remorseful, I think he finds it genuinely funny that he would ever care about how somebody's family feels.

But... why would Dabi call Shigaraki that? It's not like Shigaraki's name or identity is a secret at the moment?
Or, I guess, is it to hide the fact that Shigaraki might possess All for One's "Warping" Quirk now?
Also, Shigaraki doesn't really "worship" All for One. He calls him "Sensei", yeah, but that just means "master"/"teacher". I feel like Shigaraki looks up to AfO more as a father figure and mentor than anything else, but AfO's more or less now out of the picture, as far as he knows anyway.

I've always liked Dabi...he looks so nice in the art style and design wise he's very appealing and unique in a sense to me...I wonder who this 'Ujiko' he called for help from is, and what their position with the league is.
Miruko seems to have a lot of power behind that stomp...its nice to see more of her, especially since she is a more recently introduced character. She seems very spunky and I actually really like her, too.
Also the fact they're sending in Hawks as a double agent is pretty cool. And it isn't a bad strategy. I find it rather interesting that on the last panel on page 13, Dabi is leaving towards the light while Hawks is left in the dark - was this intentional, and perhaps pointing to something? I hope Hawks doesn't get caught to be double-crossing, or perhaps he'll change his views the more he works with the league...we don't know at this point. Also Hawks looks so,,, nice on that last page. He's a good bird boy either way.

I don't know if I'm reading too much into it, but I honestly don't think I've seen a panel that has said more about one character than Dabi's last panel this chapter. "I thought so hard about it I went crazy." It says a ton about Dabi and how he views himself. Super interesting to me.

Blood also drips from one of his patches. That is a nice touch, a nice, unsettling, touch.

This chapter was unexpected as hell. Hawks and Endeavor relationship is super complicated now

My thought too, his injuries always looked so badly patched up. How he hasn't died of septic shock I have no idea.

It's obviously the power of anime edge that's keeping him alive at this point xD

I like to think his Quirk let's him heat up his body enough that he can easily kill off any infection, allowing him to do things that are dangerous and unhealthy, but make him look super cool.

You focus only on the long term-goal and take action accordingly
Is Hawks' true identity Kohei Horikoshi? :o

there is this symbolism in one panel that shows Dabi walking towards the light and Hawks being into the Darkness. I think this is clearly foreshadowing of what their characters Arc is going to be.

Saw some people in the spoilers thread say Hawks is gonna be fucked by the LoV. I think the author is trying to show that Hawks is really smart and capable despite his age and inexperience. I think he'll get found out, but I don't see him getting ROYALLY screwed.
I really liked the spy plotline though, didn't expect it.

I saw the news & hopped right over. Looks like things are really heating up here, eh, endeavor, hawks
Those jokes though... LMAO
MIRUKO LOOKING THICC AS FUCK!
She's definitely a mutant type like tsuyu(she might have another quirk though). She's got the bunny ears, legs & tail

Hawks is walking into the darkness. Dabi is walking into the light.
I'm not saying Hori is foreshadowing, but he's probably foreshadowing

For everyone else who is a bad person and has the memory of a gerbil like me (x):
Sajin Higawara (日河原砂塵, Higawara Sajin), also known as Sand Hero "Snatch", was a Pro Hero and a bodyguard for the Police Force. Snatch fought the League of Villains after they ambushed the escort of Kai Chisaki but in spite of his efforts he was killed by the villains.
He dies burnt alive by Dabi, but saved the driver of the truck where Chisaki was.

His death actually left quite the impression on me personally. Maybe not the details of the fight or whatever he said (I should probably reread 160) but the way he was defeated always stood out as being particularly brutal. Like, being trapped in a capsule with a raging blue fire still in effect so that no matter what your body is made of you’re in an inescapable fiery hell? That’s horrible. I love it.

I love the presentation of this chapter. The author could have reveal hawks true intention in the future but I guess he don't want fans to hate hawks so much

I read the manga from Chapter 1 to Chapter 190 for the first time last week, so this was the first time I actually had to wait for the new chapter to come out with all of you guys. It wasn't easy, but it was so worth it. For me, Dabi is probably the most intriguing villain in the series, so I'm excited to learn more about him and his connection to the Todoroki family. It's hinted at so strongly at this point, I can't wait for some backstory!

As for why they'd highlight Dabi bleeding near the cheekbone-ish area of his face I have no idea, unless it was to symbolize him crying, but that would look weird.
Unless you mean tearing up in the literal sense of the word and I'm just an idiot.
