#traitor theory

Big fan of this theory

Nigel after realizing he’s been completely bamboozled by TWO overweight aliens posing as people he’s close too with glasses and a blue yellow color pallet.

This theory is actually somewhat ironic, and you'll understand why is just a moment.

It goes like this: we, the audience, will watch a new episode or read a new chapter and, in our excitement, will comment on it, some even analysing it or posting pages or clips.

As readers, hidden behind a fourth wall, we able to see and learn a lot more than the characters in the story itself, such as knowing Izuku used to be quirkless, All Might has a debilitating injury, 1-A is taught by Eraserhead, Aizawa's quirk, and so on.

And we will comment on it without even thinking. We will makes posts about how cool a character's quirk is, how heartbreaking a backstory is, even theories that prove to be correct.

What we don't realise is that All For One has a quirk that allows him to see past walls - including the fourth one. He is able to find our comments, our posts, everything about MHA.

As such, we are the traitors. We are the ones who posted about All Might's injury and declining time, we are the ones who outed Izuku's past quirklessness, and we are the ones supplying information for All For One.

Now, this was an early theory, and it has holes. Such as the USJ being a surprise to the readers/viewers too, meaning that we weren't the ones to leak this information to the League of Villains.

The irony serves in the point that Yuuga, the real traitor, is the only one to consistently break the fourth wall and stare directly at the audience. Which could also lead into the viewers being the traitor, as it could be how he knew of Izuku's quirk, but, again, there are holes.

If AFO could read our comments and messages, he probably would have found Izuku early on and just killed him when OFA was passed onto him.

And if Yuuga could see past the fourth wall, it would require a quirk, which he wasn't born with, (though, it is established that quirkless people can handle more than one quirk), and it would mean that he would have reached out to Izuku earlier with the audience being highly aware of how compassionate Izuku is.

The idea is really cool, and makes me kind of wish it did happen, but alas. Holes early on in the USJ, and it would have led to different arc for Yuuga.

UH GUYS LUXU ISN'T THE TRAITOR AND I HAVE PROOF AND IS IN FACT SOMEONE ELSE

But you aren't going to like it. Theory below.

Okay so we all know about how the Master has said that Luxu is traitor. But I don't think that is all there is to it. Luxu is the traitor to the Master of Masters (MoM for ease of use).

Luxu and his lack of sigil connection

This is from Gula the man with the Lost Page, which is the key to finding the traitor and contains information about them. This is where issues with the "Luxu is the traitor" MoM statement comes up. Luxu has never had a sigil to claim as his. With the reculence symbol it was given to him by Master Xehanort and is arguable lost its importance to the story with Xehanorts death and the death of the organization.

2. Has prime opportunities to fight or heavily defect yet doesn't

The second and biggest reason that Luxu isn't the traitor is that the master lays out all the faults with his plan and even tells Luxu that the foretellers, the MoM, and himself will be killed for his goal. Luxu from then on has every justification and opportunity to rebel with no one else around for generations, yet continues to follow his role.

Now for the second item. The actual traitor is the Master of Masters. Heres the evidence.

MoM actually has a sigil connected to him.

This is the "sigil" that appears on the MoM book, coat, and in the middle of the stained glass for choosing a union.

All of these can be more tied to the MoM than Luxu as the book of prophecies is something he wrote and would have a hand in picking out the cover. Along with that, union member seem to not know of Luxu but know of MoM so his sigil being in the middle of the stained glass wouldn't be too far gone.

2. Scaredy-cat

This is when MoM is talking to young Xehanort about the coats that ward off darkness. The thing is... His plan hinges on him letting darkness into his heart. Yet, due to his statement he is unlikely to follow through with absorbing darkness into his heart, becoming a traitor to his own plan. Now in speculation, Luxu would likely retaliate due to the fact that wasn't the plan and due to the fact others have suffered just for the MoM to back down at the last minute, making him a traitor against the MoM.

3. (Most unstable point) MoM goes behind everyones backs.

A. Plans to murder the people that follow him and does not tell them.

B. Pretends like the traitor is among the foretellers when he actually gives the traitor role to Luxu, and doesn't even tell them.

C. Does B to get darkness into the foretellers hearts unwillingly (based on their actions).

Final Thoughts

People are accept the Master of Master's words at face value when its been shown that he believes in a more "actions speak louder than words" philosophy and I think we should take that same idea to him.

i think it's incredibly funny how all might tells nezu that he's sure there's no traitors among the students. one of your students was being abused at home by his father, number 2 hero, and none of you knew. how the fuck do you know there's no traitors among the students.

WHY IS THERE AN ACE TRAITOR THEORY, WHAT IS GOING ON I HAVEN'T FINISHED BOOK 5

[mikithewooloo]

GUYS IN THE TRAINING CAMP TOKOYAMI GOT AWAY BECAUSE AOYAMA SHOT COMPRESS, HE WAS ALREADY FEELING GUILTY FOR BEING THE TRAITOR

[crymeariveronceagain]

Hear me out, Hear me out. This is quite a bit of a stretch, but what are theories for if not for stretching. Alden was faking his reaction to his son joining the Neverseen. Obviously, he had to pretend like he had no clue to avoid suspicion. If anything, he was mad that his son made it public knowledge that he was in the Neverseen, and paranoid that his son would reveal his involvement too. After all, with all of Alvar’s talk about the “Vacker Legacy”, maybe he was referring to more than we first thought.

*sits down*

You, anon, have too much power and understanding, and you should be feared. And now I'm going to be disappointed in canon, because this would be so much better. This whole idea puts a whole new kind of spin on the whole "Vacker Legacy" and... y'know...

And maybe they don't find out that Alden's a traitor at the end, in some dramatic reveal. Maybe they find it out through documents scattered around his office. Maybe they find it written down in Alvar's memory journals, as he tried to piece back his understanding of reality. Maybe Sophie shuts down when she finds out, doesn't tell anyone for weeks, until she breaks down in front of Fitz, tells him in a blur of anxiety and terror, hoping that Fitz isn't on his father's side. Maybe Fitz denies it for weeks. Maybe Biana sobs on Sophie's bed, but says, over and over, "I knew it. I knew it. I knew it was us." Maybe Dex grits his teeth and becomes the strong one in the friend group, he pulls himself in front of them, he never trusted the powerful, but he knows how much all of them are hurting. Maybe Keefe comes home to find his friends in complete disarray, but really, he's not surprised. After all. It all adds up now, doesn't it?

It does not end in a bang, it never will.

But this is the nails in the coffin, pressed gently through thick, dark wood. This will be the final blow to every child Keeper, that someone they trusted so innocently and completely could do this to them. That an adult, that so many of them depend on, has been constantly lying.

It does not end in a bang for them.

It ends in a whimper. Because all along he's been driving them apart, driving them away from the end, telling them not to worry, that the adults will take care of it.

But he never has. He's never wanted them to be safe. He never wanted them to be okay.

Alvar ran away to find himself, and instead he found his family's legacy, tainted in murder and fire and espionage.

And he's impressed. He wants it, he likes it, and he can pretend to keep on hating his father, and his father can pretend to keep on hating him, because maybe both of them still do. But at least they're united.

As families should be.

[whichuniverseisthis]

This whole situation is so funny to me, it's like the author just remembered that one plot point he totally forgot about, so he went on the Internet to look at the most popular theories and picked a random one. Not like I'm complaining though, it's hilarious watching the reaction of people who thought that would never happen (including myself).

Oh well, I'm glad it's not Denki since I love him way too much.
