The current number one and number two Pro Hero on the Hero Billboard Chart JP inMy Hero Academia, Endeavor, and Hawks have been proving their worth as the strongest superheroes in history for a long time. Both of them have separate ambitions and goals, but they work closely together to remove the villains from society.
While their relationship is certainly an intriguing aspect ofMy Hero Academia, fans have always questioned it because of the correlation between the two. Their bonding as Pro Heroes is a reflection of a glaring irony of their respective past that many believed to be a mistake made by Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of the series.
However, the same relationships prove that Horikoshi is actually a genius who used Hawk’s idolization of Endeavor to develop both of their characters. Their mutual growth throughout the series is the result of what they went through individually in their past and how they overcame the issues that their past created.
The Tragic Individual Pasts of Hawks and Endeavor
One of the central themes of Horikoshi’sMy Hero Academiais the growth that comes fromlearning through past experiences. In the case of Hawks, his past was absolutely brutal and ruthless. His childhood was filled with trauma and abuse that made him into an expressionless, silent child.
Kohei Horikoshi Can Get All the Hate for How My Hero Academia Ended But His Redemption Arc for 1 Character is as Good as What Eiichiro Oda Did in One Piece
He was forced to stay home at all times because of his father’s crime, and whenever he would try to step out of the house, his father would kick him. The only hope he had was Endeavor, whom he idolized. Later on, it was Endeavor who arrested his father and put him behind bars.
However, at the time Endeavor was going through his own struggles. His need to surpass All Might as the number one hero ofMy Hero Academiablinded him to the point that he started using his children to fulfill his goals. He became just like Hawks’ father in terms of torturing his family. But as he grew older, he understood his mistakes and has been since working on correcting them.
Kohei Horikoshi’s Genius is Reflected in his Portrayal of Hawks and Endeavor’s Bonding
Despite Endeavor being the literal reflection of Hawks’ father, the number two Pro Hero idolized him to the core. He even wanted to team up with him whenever he got a chance, and the two have fought together multiple times. However, fans have never understood their equation considering their past.
In actuality,Kohei Horikoshiintentionally created the bond between the two as he wanted them to learn from each other’s perspective and improve in their own lives.
Endeavor in a way learned about his mistakes by looking at Hawks, and Hawks understood that despite being a hardcore, ruthless character,Endeavor still cares for his familyand would go to any lengths to save them.
