I do hope the traitor plot isn't "Hagakure forced into it or All For One will kill her family/loved ones, but Deku and Class 1A promise to beat him so that won't happen, so she doesn't traitor everyone", mostly because it's kind of too late to do that plot, and also wouldn't have much of a point at the end of the day.

Hmm, well if we’re presenting crack theories for possible future bragging rights, I’m calling it that Hagakure is somehow Shigaraki’s sister and her quirk activated for the first time when her brother “killed” her. I don’t actually believe that but it’s the kind of plot beat that a superhero comic would go in for.

Personally I think it would be more *fun* if she really is just an irredeemable villain but maintains the peppy schoolgirl personality throughout (Toga could use a friend.)

I feel like the most obvious motive would be something like:

Being permanently invisible sucks rear end and despite her bubbly persona she deeply hates her quirk and how it impacted her and she just wants to be a normal girl who can be seen by other people both in a literal and figurative sense and for whatever reason she was approached by All for One who offered to take her quirk away if she helped him.

If they use the whole traitor plot as an excuse to finally give Hagakure some depth (and maybe even eventually show us her true form) I’m fine with this new development honestly.

As someone else said, I kind of hope she wasn’t being manipulated against her will and was instead just pulling a long con this whole time (also Deku and/or the other heroes having to try to fight against an enemy they can’t see (particularly if she removes her gloves) cold be interesting)

I can’t remember if I posted this week yet, but I’m going with this is a head fake. She’s there spying on the villains, overheard AFO and now will inform everyone that there’s a traitor in their midst.

Is it a double head fake and she’s also the traitor but wants to sow confusion amongst the heroes? Who knows.

Like the end of that one chapter where Aoyama is just staring at a sleeping Izuku and people were sure he was the mole?

I mean it'd be funny if that last panel was just the pov of the actual mole.

Hagakure isn't deliberately feeding intel to All for One, she's just been sharing every thing that happens with her pen pal who is also a Japanese high school girl that wants to be a hero.

Little did she know that it was merely All for One pretending to be a teenage girl the entire time.

That sounds like something he'd do. I think.

True, for all we know that scene at the end could have actually been Hagakure squaring off against the real traitor and we were seeing from the latter’s perspective.

He supposedly had some radio thing at the USJ attack, and people speculated he was lying about it being blocked so as not to call for backup. He also thought Stain's video/ethos was cool even though it was evil and scary.

There may be other things I'm forgetting but those are the main two I remember people saying.

Because the real twist will come once Tooru activates the country-wide Philosopher's Stone, only for Aoyama to reveal he's been setting up a counter measure this whole time.

Kaminari and Hagakure are the two who haven’t had some kind of inner monologue showing how they want to be heroes too if I remember right.

If he ended up becoming the traitor because he wanted to poop normal and All for One promised to fix that, and it’s treated as a deadly serious arc, I’d probably end up liking it.

He gets a moment during the war arc like back in 260 or something where he’s about to be in that charge and thinks about protecting the people he cares about (with Jiro pictured specifically) and then I think he also has a flashback with Tokoyami too. So if Kaminari is actually the traitor then his loyalties are definitely divided unless his inner monologue is lying to the reader

Speaking of Aoyama, theres a possiblity his incompatibility with his quirk is from it being given by AfO. The other people who had issues with their quirks are Deku and Dabi. Deku had his quirk given and Dabi's is only when he uses the blue flames and is a failed hybrid. Meanwhile Aoyama shits himself after a few seconds of use and that's with a support item which tracks with Deku breaking his bones using OfA.
