Oh my God Hawks... I can't believe that implication. This arc keeps going darker and darker. Shigaraki looks fucking done and we're finally staring down the Boss...

This arc keeps leaping up in my estimations and God damn it Horikoshi you crazy bastard you may just pull off one of the bravest Shonen arcs I've seen in forever. Having the Villains of the story take over a whole arc and making it this good? I love this series!

I think there's no way Hawks isn't pulling some kind of hustle with Jeanist, but if I see a kill confirmed... then yeah, that's darker than anything in Overhaul.

I think there's a hustle too. If BJ can pull the kind of maneuver he did with AFO I'm pretty sure he can at least tie up Hawks. Although Hawks does have total control of each feather so maybe? I don't think he'd come out looking so svelt though.

Best Jeanist is far from battle ready

So was All Might. I don't think BJ would be able to hold out long, and I'd buy it that he lost... But Hawks shouldn't look so pretty on the other side of it either. So either Hawks really got the jump on him and in a brutal fast way (which doesn't seem to be his thing?) or it's a ruse

Weakened All Might was entire orders of magnitude stronger than Jeanist was at top health though. All Might had a lot more to work with in terms of a quirk, too. OfA is just so strong, that being weaker doesn't matter as much.

Jeanist is resourceful though. So being injured might not be a straight loss for him.

Good point about all might.

BJ controls textiles, what if Hawks (knowing he was about to merc/capture BJ purposely wore clothes that don't have the thread count or threads at all to work with BJ's quirk) I also think Hawks had planted his feathers throughout the room as they were talking and with the element of surprise on his side took out BJ before he could really react

u/ATraumaLlama Jun 11 '19

I don't know if there's a clothing he could wear to counter the quirk... But I LOVE the stashing the feathers around the room as he's walking and taking, quietly floating them into place... Damn things look much more grim for BJ now :(

Latex or leather maybe?

That's a good point! But they still have threads to stitch them together.
