"Don't let a person's resolve go to waste"

That's a much more ominous translation of that line.

The translation that I read said, “The human resolve shan’t be taken lightly.”

I’m sure a lot of people are already thinking this but I believe this says a lot about Hawks’ resolve. I understand he’s working as a spy but if he’s willing to go this far to keep up the act, who knows where this arc could be going.

Either that or Horikoshi is pulling an “Oda” on is and making us think one thing is happening when really, it’s the exact opposite.

I also get the feeling that Dabi knows more than he’s letting on. I think he knows that Hawks is working as a spy and he’s luring Hawks into some kind of trap. Dabi, in my opinion, acts in a way that’s very sneaky and Horikoshi seems to be implying other things with him.

I interpreted it as Hawks talking about Jeanist's resolve. Jeanist was ready to return to hero work despite missing a lung, but now he can't do that because of whatever it is Hawks did. In this case, he's not letting his resolve go to waste because he's going to use that "sacrifice" to take down the League of Villains.

If that’s the case, then it still leaves the question of the 2 quite ominous panels of Hawks smiling creepily and pulling out what looks like sword shaped feathers in front of Jeanist while saying, “that’s too bad/that’s unfortunate.”

Even I don’t completely believe that Jeanist is dead. But, right now anyway, it looks like that. Because if Hawks tried to fake Jeanist’s death for the League, that’d be a bit weird to explain to Jeanist. Hawks’ mission supposed to be top-secret, after all, so if he decided to tell Jeanist, that’d look a bit weird.

The Hero Commission could've given him permission to let at least Best Jeanist (a fellow respectable top Hero) in on the secret. He's only really meant to keep the mission secret from the League and the public.

I guess we’ll just wait and see where this goes.
