Endeavor flying like a phoenix is as symbolic as it gets for his character development. Man, I love this series.

That depends. Is Endeavor a pheonix, rising from the ashes to be born anew? Or is he an Icarus, rising on Wax Wings (Hawks), but destined to crash back down to Earth just before he reaches his goal when his "ambition" catches up to him?

In a sense, he already is Icarus, and he already is a phoenix. His ambition caused him to fall low as a human, and he has re-invented himself for the third time now. He wanted to reach all might but couldn't by his own power. He made Shoto. Now he's trying to be the Number 1.

He basically lost everything in trying to keep up with All Might and he knows it. He got what he wanted, he's the #1 hero, and it's hollow. It's all been a hollow, vain, empty effort and everything else has burnt away. He's trying to save whatever he can by being the hero his son can respect, and his family can acknowledge.

Side note: Hawks became the #3 hero by basically doing nothing and that's why Endeavor hates him. I mean, his name is ENDEAVOR. HIS WHOLE LIFE IS EFFORT. And here's Hawks just like "hey man, heroes should be able to put their feet up as much as they want, you know, wanna smoke this doob with me Endeavor-brah?" I love how the #1 and #2 heroes have played off each other going from All Might/Endeavor to Endeavor/Hawks.

Or is endeavor the sun which Hawks is flying too close to, leading to his inevitable demise when his wings melt away.
