HAWKS VS TWICE & DABI WAS HEARTBREAKING!! | My Hero Academia S6E3 Reaction

[@DukReacts]

this one hurt. twice had some SERIOUS depth as a character that really shined through in his last episode.

[@Daesma999]

I wasn't ready even though I already saw it...

[@akshayrawat609]

1st child Nomus die then twice die then hero died by twice last double 3 deaths already and this episode 3

[@lzreacts]

wouldn't call it depth. just a system failed to account for people with who's quirk might manifest and interact with their mental health. which is kinda weird for a superhuman society. but yeah, as a viewer you can't help but feel for someone in this position. the only crowd left to accept him is labelled "villain".

[@lzreacts]

which if anything makes villains like Stain have more depth to them. too bad he was a half-arc villain in the same category as that magician dude in season 4😂😂

The first character we see Twice interact with canonically(not chronologically because that's Giran) is Dabi back in the forest arc. So the fact that Dabi was the one with the real Twice in his final moments, encouraging him, is so wild. That little high five too. Pain. His little speech to Toga is sad. And the way they changed the ED to show how sad Toga was without him. The villains aren't necessarily right in what they're doing, but the idea they're striving for isn't exactly wrong either. The destruction of the current hero society. A society that pushes people to the side if they have quirks that make them look different from other people. There's actually a group of people who hate people with heteromorphic quirks that got completely cut from the anime in S5 and kinda tied into Spinner's arc. A society that saw Toga's quirk and just said, "Ew. Gross." Instead of helping her out(granted, most of the blame on this one falls on her parents but still). A society where if you trip, the world will keep kicking you as you're down so you can never get back up. A society where a hurt and traumatized child can wander the streets with hundreds of people passing him by saying, "Oh. Someone else will take care of that." The world rejected the League. So they made sure to be there for each other. They started as a band of misfits but slowly became an actual found family. Twice thinks he ended up letting his family down again. And the worst part is, the real Twice doesn't know his clone was successful in saving Toga or Compress. He doesn't know that they aren't upset with him at all. R.I.P. Twice. You were an amazing character. A complicated villain. He would consider his days with the League to be the best parts of his life. So in that sense, you could say he was happy. R.I.P.

[@danondivanov8316]

[@maniac7452]

And here we go... No, Hawks is totally wrong in this scene. It baffles me that people can think otherwise when even the anime and manga's staging portray him as scary and emotionless in this scene. Secondly, heroes don't kill. This was made clear by Ending, which is the very reason he targeted Endeavor, and this statement was never contradicted afterwards. Hawks had no right to do what he did, and since he ambushed Twice and the latter was running for his life after Hawks tried several times to kill him, there is no notion of self-defense in this. It was just a murder that is not rationally justified at any point. Thirdly, no choice ? What ? In his first apparition, we saw him knock out a criminal with a single feather without even looking at him, what was stopping him from doing that here ? Or from asking other heroes, with a quirk that can counter Twice's like Midnight, to be ready to intervene? Or, randomly, to try to really reason with Twice rather than setting a trap, attacking him, taunting him and forcing him to betray his friends ?

[@ThePOPcultureHashira]

I understand

[@ThePOPcultureHashira]

I cried like a baby in my reaction vid….I really thought hawks and twice were gonna end up doing some major power move that turned the fight in the hero’s favor…but obviously that didn’t happen and I know it was hard for Hawks…But at least Twice died saving his friends

[@timothyswindell4833]

Not you guys but the more I watch reactions, the more I think people don't understand that what melted wasn’t the main body. I got the impression that people didn't realize that what died was a double and Hawks had already killed Twice by evidence of his corpse bleeding on the floor above. If you pay close enough attention you can see the double falling off the balcony before he stabbed the hero

[@Kaempfdog]

Seeing Tokoyami freak out when Redestro BRIEFLY holds him back only for him to refer to Machia. Let’s not forget Tokoyami in full power could DEFINITELY destroy a city. So for HIM to freak out, we all know how much that stands for the big guy. Dabi by the way knowing a hero’s name is not impossible. You get licensed by the government to act as a hero. That’s why there are licenses. I mean Ending learned where Endeavor lived last season. Villains don’t normally target heroes because they ALREADY can do things like fall from the stratosphere and live. Not much villains can do. Hawks…is a VERY different story. He was trained SPECIFICALLY by the government. He’s the public safety commission hero. That’s why he was the spy in the 1st place. And we all hate to see it. But it HAS to happen. Twice is among the most dangerous villains. He can destroy the country on his own. He can LITERALLY use his quirk CONSTANTLY. If he ever copied AFO, Machia, or Shigaraki, it’s over. (Considering the force to break THEIR bones at this juncture, it’s no different than having the real deal on the field because AFO didn’t break anything after fighting ALL-MIGHT in season 3 INCLUDING the United States of Smash.) And the fact a mini Nomu had double means they were ONE step away from getting that quirk copied to AFO or Shigaraki. Morally it’s wrong because Twice is morally harmless. But the choices are country destruction or put him down. And outside AFO and Garaki, these villains are only monsters for a moment. And that’s what makes this so hard.

I cried like a baby even tho I read the manga and knew we are losing Twice. He wasnt a good person, he was GREAT person. He was sefless, caring, kind, friendly and so trusting in the good in everyone. If you take the fact Enji - the abuser is a hero and Jin the nice person is classified as a villain..it truly starts raising questions. The thing is he protected the villains coz they were the only ones willing to give him a chance...RIP Jin Bubaigawara, always remembered as the kindest "villain" of any show I ve ever seen.

[@kathycoleman4648]

Yes. Heroes and Villains are determined by the outside world. To the LoV, Twice was a hero to various members on various occasions. So was Toga, or Dabi, or Shigaraki. The challenge in MHA is that the 'side' we see this from consists of a bunch of niave teenagers being thrown into a seemingly corrupt system against a series of villains who are often more sympathetic than the forces that have deemed them such and decided to wipe them out. It makes for compelling story.

[@Chipster321]

Now, before people try to paint Hawks as the bad guy here and Twice as doing nothing wrong, take note that Twice was not “running away” from Hawks. It was not him “fleeing in surrender”. It was Twice running to join the fight and kill a lot of heroes, including some kids as there are some students there. Hawks killed him to protect them and tried to avoid doing so until left with no option. He was rendering him incapacitated when Dabi burst in, not killing him. That’s why he avoided his organs. He saved Twice from Dabi burning them both alive, and was planning on flying Twice out and away until Twice got away. Hawks killed him to protect the others. JUST LIKE TWICE DID TO THE HERO TO PROTECT TOGA AND MR. COMPRESS. And Toga and Mr. Compress were not in any mortal danger either, they were being arrested. The heroes? They would have been in mortal danger had Hawks not taken care of Twice.

[@bulegele2128]

hard agree, he's far way too dangerous to be left alive. Even if one of his copies manage to stay alive prior to his death, the hero would've lost but thanks to falling and rolling from concrete was enough to melt the copy or else it will start doubling like there's no tomorrow.

[@bulegele2128]

@Rising×scorching×sun ikr? The broken thing with his quirk is that his doubles can also inherit the quirk of the person he intends to copy. The hero, nah scratch that the world is soo f-ing dead if he double Gigantomacia as well as those high-end nomus.

That’s the main reason why I likes them, not only because they are cool, but the unbreakable faith they have.

That was still really reckless. I don't know if this is a hot take but I honestly think Dabi doesn't care about the other league members at all. Like even Tomura displays camaraderie with them, but Dabi never does. Like here he's "comforting" Dabi but it seems to me like his intention is to spite Hawks much more than it is to make Twice feel better. As opposed to Spinner, Toga or Twice, who actually crave human connection, Dabi doesn't seem to care.

Remember heroes do kill, as there's quite literally no "rule" against that. If a villain is actively threatening lives and needs to be killed to stop, then they will kill. All Might himself went for the kill during his fight with AFO and would have died if he didn't. Hawks gave Twice every chance to surrender and stop (even saved him from Dabi.) Twice refused, and then went to supply an army of himself to help a terrorist organization. (Which would have resulted in the destruction of Japan and lots of death.) Not killing him at that point would be wrong.
