Manatee Cannon posted:the fan translation that I remember was something like baron of explodo-kills The nicknames he picks out are respectively 爆殺王 (explosion-murder-king) and 爆殺卿 (explosion-murder-lord). The official translation went with the very literal King Explosion Murder, and Lord Explosion Murder. The fan-translation went with the slightly funnier King of Explodo-Kills and Baron of Explodo-kills.

Yeah, I was gonna ask for any prevailing theories re:traitor but since I was keeping my eyes peeled for any clues because I thought I possibly saw the answer on accident, and then didn't really come to any conclusions, I figured any predictions or theories would be more just guessing instead of informed speculation. It'll come up sooner or later, I'm fine waiting. PMush Perfect posted:Specifically, it's named after shoot boxing, a Japanese-invented spinoff of kickboxing/MMA. Ah, fair enough!!

Kaminari certainly would be the easiest student to fudge into being super powerful if he turned out to be a villain. The thing is wouldn't Kaminari have been able to inform the villains that his friends were going off to save Bakugo and about the tracking device stuff? He was there when they were talking to Midoriya in the hospital about it.

The thing is the big evidence towards Kaminari being evil isn't actually anything that is in the series.

And someone does need to be the traitor. So either the traitor's foreshadowing is even more buried and obtuse than Kaminari's or they haven't been foreshadowed to any meaningful extent.

There's like 3 elements to the traitor that we know/can infer that narrow it down, but there is nothing any one way or another on who specifically it is. 1: We know a traitor must exist, because its been brought up too often to be a red herring. And it has to be someone in Class A, because at least one of the info leaks was Class A specific. So that narrows us down to less than 20 people. 2: We know it isn't anyone we've spent a ton of time with, because everyone who has had an arc centered on them has been super heroic. Tsuyu, Tokoyami, Kirishima, Todoroki, Iida, Momo, Uraraka, Bakugou. It would be completely out of character for pretty much any of them, who are earnestly trying their best to be heroes in an obvious and serious way. It miiiiiiiight be Tsuyu or Tokoyami, we haven't had their heroic motivations spelled out yet, but c'mon. There's no way. 3: We can assume the traitor is someone people like and not a complete nobody, because that way it will have impact. We've spent a fair bit of time with most of the class, but some characters pop up more than others. It's almost certainly not Shoji or Koda or Ojiro, because it wouldn't have any impact for any of them to be the traitor. While we've spent a bit of time with Mineta, it's almost definitely not him because that wouldn't be shocking. It'd be cathartic to have him be a bad guy we can remove from the class. I would love that, which means its almost definitely Not Him because the traitor reveal should be a big deal, not a joke. Of the characters who show up a bunch but haven't had a lot to show for it, its pretty much just Kaminari, Jirou, Aoyama, Mina, and Hagakure. Of that candidate list, its probably not Aoyama or Mina, because Mina's too happy and popular and fun, and Aoyama's like, only non-joke moment was saving someone's life during the villain assault, which is a Pretty Big Deal. He might still be the mole, who just didn't want to see a friend die, that's still very possible. But that shot in the dark is a pretty big "probably not Aoyama" moment. Hagakure has the bonus points of being invisible, making a subterfuge angle to her character very easy to imagine, but there isn't any hard evidence for anyone. The traitor arc probably isn't getting resolved any time soon. There's gotta be foreshadowing first, and the only foreshadowing so far is "they exist." TL;DR: It can only be a small subset of Class A who is the traitor, so people are going to make theories for every possible candidate, but none of them have any strong evidence for or against them yet. Its all guesswork.

I personally would be heavily impacted by Shoji being the traitor. Less so with Ojiro because maybe it would mean he'd get to do something.

Having Hagakure be the traitor and turn off her invisibility at the point of the reveal would make for some good poo poo

Meanwhile, I ride in on the dramatic premise that the traitor will break everybody's hearts, piss half the fandom off, and make people want to drop this series. Which brings Tsuyu and Tokoyami back into play, and possibly even (extreme dark horse candidate) Uraraka playing some sort of honeypot gambit. There's also the way-out-of-left-field option that it's Dark Shadow operating independently at night while Tokoyami sleeps.

"Ha ha, it's not anyone at all!" and it being "Literally who?" would be really weak. I'm almost certain it's someone in Class 1-A or 1-B (including faculty directly connected to them), because if Shinsou is getting transferred into heroics (which it looks like may be the case) there needs to be an opening for him in either class. Yeah, they could just have 21 students in a class, but someone leaving for him to make an opening would make sense. And the dude with the brainwashing quirk being the one to catch the traitor would be a cool twist. I hope it's someone who really hurts- because it'd be interesting to see the fallout. Hori kinda keeps loving with us because everyone who has the ability and isn't clearly a main cast member keeps getting personal arcs, or alibis, or their inner monologues shown. i.e. It turns out Aoyama is just kind of a coward, we hear Kaminari's inner monologue during the license exam and he defends Bakugou/Kirishima's honor while being happy he can avoid hurting his friends now, etc

As far as conspiracy theories go, I like the Kirishima Theory. I don't think I actually buy it, but it looks like the kind of thing where if it turned out to be true I'd go "Yeah, fair enough." ...Plus I'd kill for the eventual Bakugou vs Kirishima "search your feelings bro" fight.

EDIT: ^^^ It being Kirishima would certainly explain why the villain alliance wasn't told about the kids going to rescue Bakugou though. Hagakure and Jirou were also knocked out at that time so they didn't know about it. Yeah I don't see how it can be anyone but Kaminari, Hagakure, or Aoyama. Whoever it is I hope it's done well and isn't another Sasuke. [/quote]And the dude with the brainwashing quirk being the one to catch the traitor would be a cool twist.[/quote] Yeah a while back there was a page shown of Shinsou walking and talking with Aizawa, and then another of Deku passing him in the hall and it appearing that Shinsou had bulked up(aka he's training).

I don't really know why this would end up in a fight since the crux of that theory seems to be Kirishima isn't an intentional spy. E: That theory is more interesting than "Well he wasn't in this scene so surely he was up to something!" though. SyntheticPolygon fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Jul 3, 2017 |

At first I was really annoyed that anyone would dare insinuate that Kirishima is the traitor after his incredible broment at the Bakugou Rescue sequence, but then I actually read the thing and I am 100% on board. I would so rather have this than any of the 1-A students being the traitor, and it'd be good payoff for a lot of that Kirishima foreshadowing I didn't even notice.

I'm honestly kind of thinking that either A: it's the principal or B: there isn't actually a traitor and they've just psyched themselves up believing that there is so there must be

Oh yeah the principal was one I was suspicious of too, mostly just because of when he tried to delay All Might from going to the rescue training. That would mean he's a traitor that doesn't want All Might to die for whatever reason though.

Fabricated posted:"Ha ha, it's not anyone at all!" and it being "Literally who?" would be really weak. Speaking if Shinsou, while it's pretty ethically abhorrent it'd be interesting if UA went to Shinsou and had him brainwash everyone who could be a suspect and tell them to write down if they're the traitor or not. Like a more invasive Lasso of Truth situation.
