His plan is literally to just throw himself at the bad guy.

In a series where Deku is getting repeatedly reminded that "just punch harder" isn't a long-term solution, I don't think Endeavor's going to get out of this without consequences.

At the very least, he already lost an eye so we're probably getting Punished Endeavor out of this.

Deku is repeatedly reminded that punching harder isn't a long term solution because he's a kid, he shouldn't be fighting villains yet anyway, and he's going to destroy himself before he even graduates high school if he doesn't stop.

Endeavor isn't really allowed to back down or leave the situation to others in the same way. He's the new #1 hero in a society that has implicitly relied on its #1 hero to be undefeatable for decades and is now in a state of unrest; one of his first high profile fights since getting promoted ending in him getting his eye torn out and him peacing out without stopping the villain would basically destroy any residual faith society has left. This is being hammered in hard, especially since High Spec is deliberately going after civilians instead of just wrecking stuff up randomly. Endeavor doesn't really have time to wait for reinforcements or to pull back and regroup.

I like the Icarus vibe going on in that last page. Hawks is burning away all his feathers to move Endeavor, and its gonna hurt both of them bad. Even if they win, both the #1 and #2 heroes are going to be out of commission for a WHILE. Endeavor's gotta heal, and Hawks needs to grow all his feathers back, and I assume that isn't a quick process.

wasn't that one panel of Hawks about to get chumped through the head by the bad guys tentacle spike thing? or was that the back of one of his feathers. to me the panel read like Hawks giving all his support to endeavor as the no 1 hero and leaving himself open

I think that's almost definitely what happened, Hawks attacked bad dude while him and Endeavor were about to air joust as a distraction and left himself vulnerable to speed up Endeavor. By the time NotVenom looked back he was about to get a napalm punch to noggin.

Does anyone else get the impression that Hawks is/was an Endeavor fanboy?

I get that impression, yeah, the idea that out of all the other heroes, No one really thought about "Becoming number one" because no one can surpass All Might. But Endeavor was the only one who was still trying and wouldn't give up no matter how hopeless it seemed. As lovely as he is in his personal life, he has inspiring parts to him, just ya know... not the abuse your family stuff.

But the most important thing

It's basically just "Horikoshi needs a break" because he's probably getting stuff done in prep for going to Comiccon.

Still dreading the redemption arc part of this. Yeah yeah, I get we haven't seen it yet but the conversation with the kids makes it pretty clearly look like "SEE, HE NEVER GIVES UP ON ANYTHING. HE NEVER GAVE UP ON US EITHER. TAHNKS DAD" angle is what we're going to get barring Endeavor getting out and out killed here. This could be colored by my having recently seen the whole thing with Erina in Shokugeki no Souma since it has some similarities.

Hawks will be fine and we'll all learn a lesson about the importance of proper eye protection.
Endeavor won't be fine, but we also just recently saw the real number one basically kill himself trying to protect people, so it's not surprising that he's basically aiming to do the same thing, but flashier.

Being alive is pretty much a constant stream of embarrassment.

I'm really liking Hawks and hope he survives this, not just because he's a really chill yet competent hero, but he also can add a neat layer to Endeavor's potential development. This chapter seems to imply that he's kind of an Endeavor fanboy because Endeavor was the only hero not content with being in All Might's shadow, which is fine and understandable if you only know Endeavor's public image. But let's get the two of them partnering up for a while, supporting each other and building Endeavor up to really deserve that #1 spot, and then have Hawks learn the about Endeavor's little home-brew eugenics project. I think Hawks' and Endeavor's reaction to that revelation would be really interesting.

Pretty sure he just fired off an arrow. That expression does not portray shock imo.

But if it DOES mean he just lost an eye, I hope he and Endeavor can be eyepatch buddies

Or we could add to the despair pile and have Hawks figure out what a horrible shithead Endeavor has been, making him regret the support he's been giving him, and be yet another hurdle Endeavor has to climb on the path of redemption.

And this is not one of those sins in my opinion.

Like not even his family that largely despises him want him to die.

Then you find out that Hawks has always wanted/already has an Articuno or Zapdos kid, and they high five each other.
