in the weeks since, it's felt like the whole beyond's secret prince baby reveal has sort of overshadowed the other, equally interesting IMO question of who amongst the guards could be secret beyondspawn. i have my own theories, and i've seen some others mentioned offhandedly, but im curiously to know where the general consensus is. keep in mind that the criteria of a beyond child should be:
born to a kakin mother
probably under the age of 30
awakened to nen at birth
has been training to be a kakin royal guard/ soldier their whole life
talent with nen made it easy to land a higher-tier assignment (so likely not a foot soldier... unless a foot soldier is specifically resisting promotions to stay out of the limelight)
so for these reasons I've eliminated Volksen, for instance- we know both from her internal narration and from the fact that Sodom was able to teleport her back to the hideout that she is not awakened to nen (if you want to argue that she somehow wasn't awakened at birth or is being suppressed or however, pls feel free). I've also seen talk of characters like Bill or Beleriante- i.e. confirmed Beyond spies from the hunter association- but as far as I can tell they are not from Kakin. Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments/tags, it was legitimately difficult to find discussions on this subject on reddit or whatever so I'm eager to hear more perspectives.
and again this is specifically amongst the guards/kakin royal army.
in addition to Longhi, who amongst the guards is a Beyondbaby plant:
Theta
Salkov
One of Tserri's other guards, pretending not to know nen? (Otocin, Momolly, etc)
Babimyna
Furykov
Rihan
One of Camilla's untouchables (Beyond double-dipped) i.e. Moswana, Sarahell
what if... Silent Majority
There are several people on this list I would pick (specify in the tags!)
You didn't mention my guy (specify in the tags!)
I don't think we've met any of them yet.
Longhi is lying the boat isnt real its all a dream (just show me the results)
keep in mind there are most definitely multiple on the boat (although we don't know how many will actually appear in the story) and i wish tumblr polls let you pick a 1st 2nd and 3rd favorite option bc i think there's a chance more than one of these guys is right.... but alas.
my personal pick is Babimyna (i'll do a post on it at some point), Salk, and maybe perhaps Theta. (For plot relevancy purposes I wouldn't object to her being the beyondspawn, but it's just that I like the idea of her just being a normal ass person facing insurmountable odds. Same goes with the Volksquad tbh.)
