I just saw someone laying out all the foreshadowing for this plotline, and it was surprisingly extensive. (Although the anime cut some of it, making it more difficult to predict).

Hagakure wasn't a voter in the class elections, which was about the time the class schedule got stolen.

She claimed to be with Shoto during USJ, but he flash-froze the area instantly, which should have shown her outline, and she commented on Ojiro being alone which she had no way to know.


Going off those two

The fact that the USJ villains weren't aware of her classmates' quirks means she might have protected them in a way.

When the students are separated by Kurogiri she's on the opposite side of Shoto when they're teleported.

Also, Aoyama was the only other person unaccounted for and he brought attention to the fact that no one knew where he was but that it was a secret. He might not be able to say what he knows but I feel like there's something between the two.


It's fun to think about.


I wonder if AFO gave her an invisibility Quirk and she's similar to Spinner or just a Nomu of some sort.

If Toga hadn't shown up this chapter I would have suspected a kill and replace.

Ironically, Hagakure is a red herring so nobody suspects the real traitor, Eraserhead.

I still don't trust Nezu.

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.

Now I'm just imagining him writing about cute boys, shows he recently started watching, something cute he saw in the mall the other day, etc.

But all with the same gravitas as when he tells All Might who Shigraki really is.

Hagakure has got to be a decoy, why give up the dramatic twist of a traitor reveal on a stinger page?

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.

Twice would've lived if only he polled stronger.

I had a crack theory where the Twice we saw during the war was a clone, and that the Tooru we saw was a Toga clone using that quirk.

Oh well.

SyntheticPolygon posted:

Yeah Twice dying was one of the high marks of the comic and nothing since has really been quite as strong.

Better send-off than Midnight, for sure.

I'm glad we got that scene of Bakugo apologizing, though. That was one of the moments I'd been looking forward to.

Lol Monoma would lose his poo poo if he found out Aoyama was the reason his class almost died. Somehow I don't see that coming up, though. Unless 1A decides to keep this underwraps and it comes out to everyone during the last battle.

I don't think it's a coincidence that the panel where AFO talks about tossing aside a cheap lighter is the same panel that focuses on Shigaraki and Spinner.

the whole thing is just not well-constructed. you're right insofar this is probably about the best a middling plot could be done

I hope it backfires on them, with someone in 1B overhearing that Aoyama is the traitor and that it's likely to be covered up. 1B almost died during the forest raid.

Mineta will die heroically and Shinsou will take his place in the closing chapters of the manga. I've got five bucks riding on this.

Which part was rushed because everything after Sensui was stuff he didn't wanna do.

I'm almost positive those chapters with the cultists at the very end was a 'springtime for hitler' (making it look like an earned attempt while going out of your way to make it bad) deal. Though I liked the closing chapters after that, running through all the characters' lives, even minor ones from the Dark Tournament.

The main manga will end next year, and this fight will still be going on, with Crawler extending his quirk a 15th time, while Number 6 morphs into his 20th form.

I'm speculating entirely here, this is spoilered because it's about the current chapter:


Endeavor needs to personally resolve Dabi, Deku needs to be fighting Shigaraki instead of having Bakugo fight him and die, etc. Who "should" be fighting AFO? All Might.


It'd be some poo poo if AM just pops in Mirio-style at full power.

If All Might shows back up at full power then there's been no point to literally this entire story since the beginning.

You're not wrong, but I've kinda felt that way since the Star and Stripe fight. For one, whatever depth the villains had seems to have been thrown out the window to focus on "cool" (I can't really make out half of what goes on in the fights anymore) shonen stock and that was a big hook for me before.

No it's Fast Forward

ZenMasterBullshit posted:

The 2 brothers finally facing off in an effort to finish their family drama where both of them have surpassed the father in their own way and the heroic one has done it by stepping entirely out of the drama and trying to find a new way forward is not a mismatch and flows completely from all 3 characters arcs. The father having to step in to do it personally is just personally it's just worse writing

The only outcome I'd accept is Dabi showing up at Endeavor's fight and getting out a "FATHEEER" before spontaneously turning to ash.
