Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Hawks turns him down. Gonna be kind of hard to be a spy and also teach Tokoyami.
Really wish Tokoyami interning with Hawks would come around soon so he could do something but like has been said he'll probably get turned down
I could see Tokoyami playing a role in this arc, depends on what Hawks does if/when he gets away from the league.

Such a fun chapter! Eri is peak cuteness and her getting Tokoyami's gift was hilarious and cute at the same time. Deku and Uraraka getting each other's presents was nice, though I hope they get some more interactions to make their inevitable relationship come about better and more naturally. Bakugo was a lot of fun too, and it was nice seeing Kaminari and Mina force him to wear the outfit, lol.
I still believe the traitor is either Hagakure or Kaminari. Given the previous chapter, I'm currently leaning towards the latter and I like the potential angst that'll create for Bakugo as well given how close they've become.
Also, that would result in Momo's backstory finally being explored so that's another win, lol.

Don't be silly. That sets up potential TodoMomo angst. It's still a potential win.

Honestly anyone being the traitor would make me sad. I like everyone. (Except Mineta)
True but Kaminari would hit me more as he's one of my favorite characters
Oh okay I see what you mean then.
Yeah but we don't have many main teachers left that it could be. We already know it's not Aizowa, Nezu, Snipes, or 13. The only teachers we have left tha would be surprising is Cementoss, Midnight, or Mic.
Boy I hope this may be my long awaited Tokoyami arc, but obviously the trio would be the main focus. I could see it going either way; Hawks turning Tokoyami down to keep him out of harm's way makes sense, but considering he interned with him not only during the initial post-Sports Festival run but also during the actual internships Hawks all of a sudden cutting ties with him may raise suspicion.
As far as the traitor goes, I do think for narrative purposes it has to be Kaminari if anyone. In my opinion the traitor reveal has to be a gut punch to the students, a gut punch to the readers, and should be a credible threat in their own right and as much as I like him he ticks all three boxes. Horikoshi himself has said he's the glue that holds 1-A together, he's one of the more popular students among the fans, and his quirk is incredibly powerful, especially if in a traitor scenario the brain-frying derp limits was indeed a ruse.
Hagakure is of course still an option and would tick boxes one and three (given that any student being a turncoat would crush 1-A and invisibility in the hands of a villain would be deadly) but given how far in the background she's been her betrayal would likely be an emotional dud to the fanbase.
Or it could be someone else completely out of left field.

Aoyama would make the most sense in my opinion. We know he isn't happy with his quirk. He could maybe see himself helping the LoV and in return AFO helps him out with that in some way.
Chekhov's Gun. You don't introduce meaningless information. That's just bad storytelling.
Its been mentioned by more people than just Mic. And there is literally no reason for Hori to even bring up the idea of a traitor if there isn't one. It would just be wasted panels.
Also this. Can't see them having 21 members in 1-A. They'd have to change the room layout at the very least.
And yeah, I think it's Kaminari. All it takes is him showing that his derp mode is fake to make him an actual threat.
Red herrings exist. There can be no traitor but the traitor plotline still be useful
There's been red herrings already about WHO the traitor Is at this point. And as much as people like to pretend Horikoshi has forgot about that plotline, he has consistently reminded us that it exists since it was first revealed. You don't do all that if you had nothing to do with it.
What I am saying is that even there is no traitor it can still be used to create drama
For example, imagine if the class learns that the school is suspecting them and that is the reason they are being watched nonstop?
Even in this arc they are basically being lied to about the reason the internships are coming back
But what would that accomplish narritive-wise? There still needs to be payoff for a satisfying conclusion for the traitor arc, otherwise it would have been a wild goose chase for the readers. It just being there to create drama isnt enough if there isn't some forward progress as a result of it.
There has to be a traitor at this point. Hori has invested too much into that plot line and carried it forward for too long for it to just be a nothing burger.
Chekhov's Gun, indeed.
Chekhov's Gun, indeed.
Look I am just giving an example, Horikoshi can use that accomplish a lot of things, just because I didn't say what the pay-off would be doesnt mean I am saying there will be none
If Hori does it I hope he goes all the way. I don't want it to be a halfway thing where a student was just inadvertently supplying information.
My Hero Academia Vigilantes 1-60
I'm honestly surprised an anime for this hasn't been announced yet. The first arc is more or less primed for it.
Everything afterwards kinda falls flat though. Although it is nice to see Koichi constantly thinking of new ways to use his powers.

I could see it. Have there be a whole Mole Hunt arc that tears the heroes apart, maybe even resulting in some actual hero vs. hero fights, culminating with the League crashing in and... in the end, there really wasn't a traitor. Lots of pain and mistrust for nothing. A message about the importance of trusting people and not letting your fear and paranoia get to you.
You get it, that is one of the pay-offs that could happen
We see in this last chapter how the class is really close now, have somethings that creates a rift between them could shake things up
In summary Civil War UA edition
Yeah I guess. I just feel like it being an accidental traitor would be a cop out. I would rather it be a full om traitor will their own motivations or nothing.
That last part sounds...unsatisfying. Plus, who needs to learn that lesson? The teachers? The kids don't even know there's a traitor and presumably won't until shit hits the fan.
It'd work a lot like... you ever watch Star Trek DS9? There's this theme of what an "ideal" society might resort to when something really pushes it. The heroes in MHA are living pretty high at the start of the series. It's just assumed that they'll always win, because ever since All Might, they always have - and that's a pretty big point in their favor, as a lot of would-be villains just don't try. It is, however, becoming increasingly tenuous. It was seriously challenged in the Pro Hero arc, for instance. This would be an extension of that, part of the collapse of the hero society, maybe even the culmination of it. The heroes, really truly pushed to the brink for the first time, turn on each other out of pure stress and paranoia, and the PLF swoops in. The survivors are the ones who learn the lesson.
I've never seen DS9, just bits of TNG here and there! While all that does sound interesting, if Hori does that I'd prefer he didn't sacrifice the traitor subplot to set that up. Something like that could happen independent of what's going on with the traitor, or even have the traitor get revealed and then the heroes get even more paranoid or what not.
At this point, I'd say we're in too deep. There better be a traitor lol or I'm questioning Hori's choices tough
as i always thought traitor kaminari plots devotees were just seeing what they wanted to see. Thank you horikoshi for that total vindication and complete exoneration. I knew there was no traitor plot in the students. I knew it.
Anywaycute moments with kami getting that hat on Baks, and Kami singing too best.
Shoto in festive wear was a surprise too.
ah and screaming in joy, a bakutododeku arc WITH Endeavour?! like its 75% of a dream come true! please make it happen. please.

I really dislike this attitude, you are already dismissing other possibilities without even seeing what they can be. For things like it is always better wait for the pay off before questioning the Author choices
And it isnt just you, I have seen a lot of this sentiment in the MHA fanbase, people create expectations of what should happen and when Horikoshi goes for another thing they call it disappointing or bad writing. People should be more open for other plot paths
