My Hero Academia Explains Hawks' Secret Mission ✖ My Hero Academia is moving along with season five after a long wait, and the show is living up to some high expectations. If you did not know, the fandom is showing out for the anime this spring thanks to their favorite heroes, and Hawks has joined the list. Still, a cliffhanger made some fans second guess the hero after the season five premiere, but an update is letting those fans breathe a sigh of relief. And why is that? Well, it seems like Hawks is not doing what we thought he was. The pro hero hasn't become a villain, but he is doing his best to blend in with the gang to make it appear so.
