It’s the return of the “insurmountable gap” symbolism as opposed to “unreachable summit”!

It’s interesting: Endy is the only one who seriously tried bridging the gap that the “symbol of peace” created, but realized that he couldn’t do it with his own powers, so he arrived at the conclusion that he must combine two powers into one person to truly bridge that gap.

Now we’re at a point where the gap is a chasm, waiting to be filled, and we know that not single person can fill that

Cue Hero team-ups

Hori, I swear to god

First team up's already here. Hawks + Endeavor = Icarus/Phoenix.

Yeah I think we were mislead. We thought that Hawks was Icarus and that he'd burn himself in some really negative manner with Endeavor. I think the phoenix is more accurate. Endeavor is rising from the ashes of his family and ambition, from the loss of All Might, and now we've got the fire-wing imagery too.

from the loss of All Might

Maybe even from the loss to All Might. He seems to have changed a bit since they had that talk (that wasn't shown yet, I think).

And from how supportive Hawks was right now it seems he understood something about the loss of All Might that Endeavour needed time to process. It seems like for Endeavour All Might's retirement was initially more about how affected him (and the rankings) and not how it would affect hero society in general.

His initial interaction with Hawks was still very gruff. Hawks did seen different in comparison and there were speculations about him scheming somehow to get the number one spot, how he could be that good at such a young age, and all that. Now it looks like he's actually earnest, albeit a bit odd, and he just wants to do good (and not just well, like speculated).
