"That's why Bubaigawara was such a great guy. At heart he desperate to be a help to others. I also want to be like that"

TwiceHawks is the slash ship between Jin "Twice" Bubaigawara and Keigo "Hawks" Takami from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
The flashbacks of Hawks and Twice's pasts shows that the two didn't have easy lives and how it lend them on the hero and villain paths they took. Even though Jin's parents were killed by a villain, the traumatic event of his self copies turning on him was the staring point that led to him becoming a villain. Just as Keigo's villain father being arrested by a hero and chose to use his feathers to save lives begin his path of becoming a hero. Similar to how Hawks is a high ranking hero, the Meta Liberation Army had Twice becoming one of the nine lieutenants of the Paranormal Liberation Front. This shows that the two are similar, despite the fact that their hero and villain paths makes them enemies.

Twice meets Hawks when the hero was tasked by the Hero Public Safety Commission to infulata the League of Villains. Because Dabi vouch for Hawks and had set up tests to prove his loyalty to the League, Twice believes that Hawks can trusted and welcomes him to their cause.

Because Hawks' damaging past was used to "explain" how he was able to kill Twice in Dabi's hero damaging broadcast, Keigo was forced to hide his face from the public. He took no pleasure in killing Jin and after Best Jeanist accompanies the injured hero to his mother's house, Keigo tells the other hero that Jin Bubaigawara was such a great guy. Along with how he wants to be live him. Since his mission for the now shut down HPSC is the reason why he was forced to kill him, and now that he is free from them Keigo wants to be a help to others, like Jin did before him.

Fanon
Despite the fact that Hawks ends up killing Twice, it doesn't change the fact that the hero had wanted to help the villain once he realised that Twice isn't a terrible person. This has inspired fans to support the ship and created an AU that has Twice expecting Hawks' offer, before they fake the villain's death so Hawks can help him to start over.

TwiceHawks is also the rival ship of Hot Wings and TogaWice.

On AO3, the ship has 30 slash fanfics and 52 gen fics.
