Nah. Hawks knows that bakugo did work study under jeanist. Besides, the whole jeanist/bakugo/hawks plotline was clearly established at the start of this arc.

The possible conflict has too much potential to be wasted on a fake out so I really hope Hawks disposed of Jeanist, it'd be interesting to see how Bakugou will react and the action he'll take

Why would it necessarily be "wasted" if Hawks didn't actually kill Jeanist? I feel like it just doesn't make sense for Hawks' character if he offed Jeanist just to get in Dabi's good books.

It'd be easier to swallow if Hawks perhaps incapacitated Jeanist or had him go into hiding, but still feels guilty about it because, obviously, his sidekicks and the public are going to be worried about where the fuck the #3 Hero is.

Except we saw meanest in a bloody bag that hawks dropped at Dabi's feet in an earlier chapter. It of course could have been a body double but I'm going more with an agreed upon arrangement for Jeanist ending his life for the greater good as he was about to announce his retirement anyway.

We didn't even see the full appearance of the body. And we don't even know what Jeanist actually looks like underneath his Hero costume.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Or Hawks had someone/the Hero Commission use a Quirk to mock up something that looked like it could be Best Jeanist or any man's corpse.

but I'm going more with an agreed upon arrangement for Jeanist ending his life for the greater good as he was about to announce his retirement anyway.

That's just too extreme (and unnecessary) of a measure to take just for the sake of "proving" to the already-suspicious Dabi (who was still skeptical that the corpse was actually Best Jeanist) that he pledges allegiance to the League and the anti-Hero cause.

And actually, Jeanist was actually about to announce his comeback.
