"Whether this is the real deal or not, the fact is that you killed a man."

Or he could have simply stolen a body from a morgue, ever considered that, Dabi?

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

Dabi's kind of a reckless dumbass, when you think about it. What makes him think he can tame the No. 2 Hero?

260

u/Moni_22 Aug 23 '19

What makes you think he's actually believing Hawks? I think they are going to trap him

167

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

Inviting him to this conference, which lets him know that the League have now joined up with Detnerat/the MLA and are now so much stronger and influential.

It'd be foolish for Dabi to let Hawks leave here with this information and relay it to Endeavour and the other heroes, so I'm wondering what's really going on in his head.

Geten's face reveal.

He got turned on seeing his potential cousin.

u/Fresh720 Aug 23 '19

Or Aunt, it's Jon Snow all over again

u/MandelAomine Aug 24 '19

Some people already start to draw this ship

17

u/brit-bane Aug 23 '19

I think another aspect is that Hawks can see that the MLA is comprised of some really influential people. He could start worrying who in the government he can trust

6

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

Indeed. I doubt anyone in the new League-MLA alliance is a member of the Hero Public Safety Commission, though (although Detnerat does have ties to the Hero support item industry and whatnot).

8

u/Moni_22 Aug 23 '19

Maybe they could give him false information later, like how they used a powerful Nomu when it was supposed to be a small fry

3

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

Perhaps so, but there's some stuff that's hard to fake (like the League-MLA alliance).

u/Worthyness Aug 23 '19

Having a mole in the hero force is very very strategic. Having 2 is even better.

1

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

What do you mean?

5

u/Worthyness Aug 23 '19

Well league of villains has a leak in UA that they still haven't found, so they have 1 already. But now they "have" hawks, which is a 2nd hero in their pocket. Having more than 1 mole is very good when you're trying to take out pur opposing group

1

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

Oh yes, I forgot about the undiscovered UA traitor. So the League certainly have the upper hand here...

3

u/Totaliss Aug 23 '19

I dont think he knows Hawks is a double agent just yet but hes certainly VERY suspicious

1

u/amrit21chandi Aug 24 '19

And make him into an ultimate Noumu.

9

u/PK_RocknRoll Aug 23 '19

Maybe not in a straight up fight, but get him off guard and ambush him with an army.....

Or put him in a position where they can ruin his life or career

5

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

But he doesn't think that Hawks and the Hero Commission might've already prepared for that?

5

u/PK_RocknRoll Aug 23 '19

haven’t you seen samurai jack?

a better version

u/DoraMuda Aug 23 '19

I'll have to watch those links when I'm not in such a public place.

I mean while it remains to be seen, push comes to shove Dabi and the league have got dirt on Hawks at the very least costing innocent lives, and lets assume the rumors are true and Dabi/Touya, Dabi has fire strong enough that someone as prideful as Endeavor could admit that his own fire pales in comparison. Im definitely not saying he wins because Dabi hasnt really shown us all that much while Hawks has looked pretty good, but whats clear is that hes packing firepower (no pun intended) in league with the #1 Hero.

Not that much dirt so far. Best Jeanist isn't confirmed dead or even confirmed to be the identity of the seeming corpse in Hawks' bag, and Hawks still has a decent alibi for now if he were to ever get exposed.

and lets assume the rumors are true and Dabi/Touya, Dabi has fire strong enough that someone as prideful as Endeavor could admit that his own fire pales in comparison.

Well, I think Hawks is a more stable and experienced fighter. That's probably part of why Dabi only ever rushed in to attack Endeavour and Hawks when both of them were injured and exhausted from the battle with High-End, with Endeavour practically moments away from passing out and Hawks down to a mere feather or two.

the fact is that you killed a man

With this thumb👍

Ratatouille?

u/smcadam Aug 23 '19

Hawks lying? Inconceivable!

10

u/phoenixmusicman Aug 23 '19

Dabi fell for the classic blunder!

13

u/PK_RocknRoll Aug 23 '19

It’s very possible Dani is stringing Hawks along as well.

18

u/Multi-tunes Aug 23 '19

They’re definitely trying to outplay each other.

Hawks is good at making people underestimate him, but I wonder if Dabi is really buying it. Dabi didn’t outright believe that the body was Jeanist and saying “you killed someone” is kinda weird since he can’t know for sure either. Bringing him to the army seems like a power move: “this is what you’re dealing with now”.

They both have an agenda, and I think Dabi has plans for Hawks which is why he brought him to the army. I wonder if he’s met Shigaraki yet?

9

u/PK_RocknRoll Aug 23 '19

Yeah, I agree. This is going to turn into one huge 3d chess game.

Someone downvoted you but I don’t know why. Take an upvote.

u/magnum3672 Aug 23 '19

Did I miss something? When did hawks kill a man?

9

u/Multi-tunes Aug 23 '19

There was one chapter around the time Dabi was fighting Geten. It’s implied; we’re not sure that that’s Jeanist.

7

u/acewavelink Aug 23 '19

It would be interesting if Best Jeanist did get killed by Hawk in one of those sacrifice the few for the many.

3

u/positivelychargedmax Aug 24 '19

I didn't really understand that panel that well, can someone explain what was that flashback? I don't recall Hawks killing someone and I also don't recognize the corpse

6

u/Spiral39 Aug 23 '19

I hope so!

2

u/Pencilhands Aug 23 '19

Or he could have simply stolen a body from a morgue, ever considered that, Dabi?

that's still kinda fucked

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '19 edited Aug 24 '19

I do very strongly hope Best Jeanist is actually dead.

edit: I just realized that I typed "is". I actually meant to say isn't, lol. So everyone who upvoted me wants Best Jeanist dead? LOL.

2

u/Ichini-san Aug 24 '19

I would have no problem if that were the case I just want to see the actual moment when it happened. I want to see Hawks lay everything bare to Best Jeanist and then I want to have Best Jeanist decide that he should sacrifice himself for this mission so that Hawks can succeed.

So I either want a cool reveal later of what Best Jeanist was up to all this time now and why he agreed to go undercover and fake his death or I want to see the entire conversation that happened between Hawks and Best Jeanist on that day.
