What I want to know is how did Hawkins get down to only 1 doll left. Surely Killer wasn't attacking him with intent to kill, knowing all the damage was going to Kid. So was Hawkins doing it to himself? And why on Earth would Hawkins straight up say it was the last doll?
This whole situation is just weird. Like Oda was going to go somewhere with it, then changed his mind at the last minute and just wanted to finish the fight.

It’s dumb that we never got to see Hawkins’ The World card, which would presumably be his strongest tarot card. We only ended up seeing 4 of 22: The Fool, The Hierophant, Death, and The Tower. Killer vs Hawkins should have had 2 chapters worth of length. Oda dropped the ball in this arc by taking way too long with the setup and then rushing the fights to end the arc quicker. I think Oda should have cut the following from Wano:
Oda should have had a lot less characters in Wano. Remove unimportant, uninteresting filler characters like the Yakuza bosses, remove Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu, and Kiku as Scabbards. They ended up doing basically nothing, and what they did do could have been done by the other Scabbards. Oda could have written Denjiro doing everything that Ashura and Kawamatsu did during the past 20 years, and it would have made perfect sense. Kiku did nothing of value, and her only role in the story was seemingly to serve as fanservice for transgender readers or the extremely SJW types. The tedious O-Lin subplot could have been avoided by having BM wash up directly onto Onigashima (without getting amnesia), and then her and Kaido immediately start fighting and then form their alliance. The Scabbards should have stayed down for the rest of the arc after their beating so that Oda could reduce the amount of moving parts. The virus plot didn’t need to drag on for so long. And Oda could have just paced some of the important scenes a little better to prevent them from dragging on.
1) Hawkins couldn't tell if Kid's arm was surrounded in metal parts or if the arm was substituted by metal parts , the first guess is the most reasonable one
2) The whole thing about Hawkins power is that there is a element of randomness , he first drew a good card and then a bad one , make sense
3) If Hawkins stabbed himself he would have killed Kid and would have lost his last extra life allowing Killer to destroy him
4) Killer COO but still that could be a play on Hawkins percentage theme

I'm at the opposite, for me it's the best fight, for backstory, psychology and artistically since the fight between Katakuri and Luffy.
Hands down, the best in WA. If only Goda remembers more often what he's good at (telling stories of few interesting character with peculiar powers and personalities), One Piece would be way better, from the pure fighting standpoint
I want to add a thing: you have to observe carefully to appreciate, but Hawkins never lost it against an admiral and with 0% possibility to win, ice cold. Well. But 2 years after, under the oppressive wings of Kaido, he's shattered, shivering, he's been conquered and hysterically yells at Killer for his faith, his determination, stubbornness of fighting against all odds. There's a huge evolution of a character in few panels, I really enjoyed that thing. It's a pity we had 50+ chapter of japanese based characters characterization and depiction of their background and only a glimpse of what happened to the supernovas.
My man Oda has a huge talent but he can't find some equilibrium, sometimes too much, sometimes too little

The only true thing that confuses me is why attacking the last doll actually hurt him. He was headbutting the wall and was fine prior, so why did cutting off Hawkins' arm cut it off for real?
But I guess what Oda is saying is thst Hawkins needs at least 1 replacement doll to mitigate the damage. That last doll will hurt him if it's devastating enough. Hence why the headbutt didn't, but cutting the arm off did.

A subordinate of Kid, defeating a Captain hypes up Zoro killing Kaido. That ish is going to break the Internet 
Other than that Straw sword of his and his scarecrow monster thing, what does Hawkins have going for him?
From what we've seen, there's no way Killer would've lost to him and Hawkins taking his Captain as hostage shows that he knew that too
That last Straw doll was for Kid, the others must've been for other people. We've seen Hawkins take Wano citizens as his dolls when he was fighting Zoro.
