A multi-chapter flashback revisiting every off-color remark he's made in the entire series so far and how he takes advantage of everyone doing their best to ignore him after each one to perform espionage.

yeah all those sincere theories with amazing evidence such as "is invisible"

No, like actual evidence. For example:

During the USJ attack, when everyone's location was a known quantity Hagakure and Aoyama were left as mysteries. She claimed to be warped to the same spot as Todoroki by Black Mist. Absolutely nothing corroborates this and in fact everything else contradicts it. Todoroki threw out his ice the instant he was warped, so if she went with him then she'd have been hit as well and Todoroki realised that when she made the claim. Plus everyone was warped in groups based on where they were standing at the time, and she was nowhere near Todoroki, because she was right upfront by Thirteen where the people who weren't warped at all were. She also somehow knew exactly where Ojiro was despite that not being anywhere near where Todoroki ended up and claimed that he was alone. So, Hagakure clearly lied about her location, but why? It has literally no benefit whatsoever and she somehow knew information that she couldn't if she didn't get warped to the same spot as Ojiro (which was conspicuously not shown when everyone else was).

I'm not sure I get this. If she was standing where the people who weren't warped anywhere were, why would she know where Ojiro was even if she was the traitor? It's not like they had a plan on which students would go where, or Tsu wouldn't have ended up in the water area.

Hagekure somehow was where Todoroki was but also compliments Ojiro for fighting alone in a completely different zone like she saw it somehow. It could just be translation issues.

(Hagakure is also one of the lesser developed 1A students though, which is another potential hint to her status as TRAITOR)

I binge-watched the anime up through season 2, and in anticipation of season 3 coming out soon, read the manga from the point the anime left out on. Is there any pressing reason to read all of what I've seen in the anime?

The artwork is fantastic, especially Shigaraki. Besides that, I wouldn't say you're missing much picking up at the end of the anime.

That's pretty much what I figured. The artwork can be dope but every time there's an intense scene it just makes me wish it was animated already; possibly one of the downsides of diving into the anime before the manga.

Also, re: traitor chat: whoever it is, if it does turn out to be someone from 1-A, I feel like there is indeed a good chance Shinso will replace him or her. He's gotten more focus than most of 1-B's students, so he's definitely got to have some sort of development coming his way, somewhat like how Hatsume also had more focus during the sports festival arc and ended up aiding 1-A in costume development, as well as appearing again in preparation for the cultural festival. Plus, he has the motive of wanting to be a hero despite being told his Quirk is very much suited for villains, and MHA just loves people having valiant motives.

Oh yeah, as great as the anime can be, it doesn't do some things like Shigaraki's creepiest moments justice, his arrival at USJ being perhaps the most obvious.

Oh yeah, definitely; jhe's getting more screentime for a reason, it'd be very appropriate to replace a villain who was pretending to be a hero with a hero who wasn't given a fair chance and was told he was more like a villain.

Which is good, because I like him a lot. He's great.

The real traitors are anyone who believes anyone from 1-A has it in them to try to kill everyone in 1-A and 1-B, not to mention a handful of pro heroes. Shame on you all, shame on you.

I burst out laughing when I saw it in the manga and knew right away I needed it as an av somewhere. Mina's been my favorite character since the anime, and the manga has only made me like her even more. The world needs a bit more Alien Queen sometimes.
