My Hero Academia trivia ch266:
Dabi is directly responsible for Hawks' new scar, and indirectly responsible for Endeavor's (since he was in charge of Hood).
Same spots on their faces, even.

2/ It's not just Hawks' dialogue—even his thoughts are calculating and matter-of-fact.
Seems as if the cold, tool-of-the-state version is his "real" self (at least when he's in the zone/on the job), and the friendly act is mostly...an act.

3/ A feather pierces this new double's head instantaneously.
4/ He whips out Toga's hankie here.
Does he suspect that giving it back might be the last thing he ever does?

5/ 啓悟 (Keigo) = enlightenment + enlightenment (!?)
鷹見 (Takami) = hawk + see
Nobody in the story has used Hawks' real name yet. His shock here tells us that nobody is supposed to know.
Does Dabi have a government connection?

6/ This fire blast roasts the two doubles while the real Twice ducks underneath.
7/ Easy to miss, but this is that final double being launched over the edge of the top balcony, down to the layer where Toga+Compress are (and that SFX is for that final stab).
The metaphor in the dialogue fits the action.

8/ Not the first Gamera reference (the other was in Vigilantes).
9/ The knife goes into his head here.
The SFX in that other panel indicate repeated stabbing.
The double is going to town on that one hero.

10/ His point is, being tossed from the top ledge down onto this tier caused serious damage (at or near this double's threshold), so he's struggling to keep from instantly gloopifying.
11/ The wording and splicing of this sentence just happened to work out nicely ("Searching for myself" -> "I found myself...")
12/ Looks like the hankie turns to gloop too.
Which would mean the doubles Twice was making of himself all had the hankie in their pockets. His "ideal" version of himself?

13/ The saddest part about this is...
Since the doubles don't share a hive mind, the real Twice never got to experience saying goodbye. He died without getting this reunion.
He could only hope that through a final selfless act, this last double would give his friends closure.

PS/ spoiler bump!
PS2/ spoiler bump2!
PS3/ Not exactly!
Ending isn't Takami. The thief who Endeavor caught (which Ending witnessed) was Takami. Ending was arrested later.
(But yes, random thief has the same kanji as Hawks' last name)

I play a background extra (foreigner checking into hotel in Matsushima) in the 2013 comedy, JinJin (じんじん＝仁人 = man of virtue)
