Alright, Aizawa! You got through to Black Mist! But, at the same time, buddy, I think you just signed Hawks’ death certificate.
As I said time and time again, nothing good can come from Hawks looking for the Nomu and Ujiko. Well, yeah, there’s finding out where the Nomu are made and Ujiko’s secret identity but it’ll be a great cost. Basically, Hawks may not be alive much longer y’all. But, hey, we’ve seen heroes dodge death flags before (Looking at you Toshinori and Endeavor.), so it’s not impossible he’ll survive, just less and less likely.
Especially, with Super Shigaraki there too. Hawks would make a tasty fodder for his new powers. So, Hawks, can I have your microwave after you die? What?! I’m just hedging my bets here. I don’t want him to die either.
By the way, (in case you didn’t realize) according to Caleb Cook, that text he got was a code for Hawks telling him Shirakumo said “hospital”.
Speaking of Shigaraki, Ujiko rambles about how he and All For One always wanted an ultimate being with their sense of self fully intact. Hmm…for what end? As a minion only? Maybe try to make an army of them? Well, I guess one ultimate being is enough, right? It could be All For One simply wants more than controlling Japan from the shadows. Maybe he always wanted the world. And, with Super Shiggy he just might get it.
A nice chapter. The art was great (a special shout-out to the Kurogiri double-page spread of his face), the story is moving forward, and Shirakumo may just end up joining the good guys again. Loud Cloud. Hmm, that doesn’t fit him anymore. How about Classy Cloud?
No?
Well, I like it and it’s my blog, so there!

I came up with a few theories just now while reading your post. I might post about it soon. And I agree that the art in this chapter was absolutely PHENOMENAL. The art in this series can be amazing when it really needs to be.
Hawks dying soon? He won’t be the only one; I see some of UA’s staff and even some of the students kicking the bucket when Tomura’s comes for Izuku. I imagine this great, big, Marine Ford Level event that ends similarly to how Ace died, but much more………not “gorey,” but definitely a lot more intense.
I can also see it leading into a potential time skip that sees Izuku going to school in America and living with his dad for the last parts of High school. I don’t think he’ll be in UA the whole time. Unfortunately that would mean no second Sports Festival.
As for Hawks himself……maybe not die. Endeavor and All Might; definitely. But Hawks might very well end up being #1 without the Front’s help. In fact; this could be when he’s revealed to be a “Triple Agent.” He might lose limbs, but not die…..just yet. And again, if he does; he won’t be the only one.

I don’t see U.A. students dying unless there’s battle all over Japan. If it’s just U.A. the school would finally be shut down.
I don’t see Endeavor dying. Death is an easy way out of his family drama. I do like the idea of Deku going to America for awhile (just like All Might) but I don’t think that’ll happen unless Bakugo and other important characters go too and that would seem too troublesome.
You think Hawks is a triple agent? Totally disagree with you there. He’s loyal to the heroes.
As for Deku’s dad. I have a semi-serious theory he works for a superhero overseas. Maybe Captain Celebrity. But, that’s probably just my love for MHV leaking out, ha!
