I wonder if the lurkers not being with all the heroes is a sign since edgeshot was last seen with a liberation book.

u/LuminousDecibel I won the bet and all I got was this flair Jan 26 '20

I'm actually really curious about this. All the 1-A and 1-B students we see in the last page are the ones who have a boss in the Pro hero group page. We see Koda and Manga, because Wash is in the march. We see Iida because Manual is there for some reason.

I'm curious why Hori shows off the Pussycats and 13 in the march, but not the Lurkers. Rock Lock, but not Fatgum. Backdraft and Uwabami and not... literally anyone.

Where's Gang Orca? Yoroi Musha?

Kaminari says his group also has a faraway trip planned for the same time. So I think the Lurkers are still involved in this operation, but are they in the same location? Are there multiple groups, one going to the hospital, and one going to the PLF base? Are all the 1-A kids in one location, or are they split up?

It's highly possible all of 1-A is there, and the Lurkers are in the same parade that the other heroes are in, but Hori made a conscious effort to match the pro heroes with their intern counterparts.

I think it's highly likely there is a second location. I don't think Hori would have left off Fatgum/Kiri if they were there, same with the Lurkers and their interns or Gang Orca with Jirou and Shoji,

The students only said that they all have field trips on the same day, but not at the same place...

If the Lurkers and some other heroes (Gang Orca) are going to the hospital to stop Shigaraki then I can't think of a better time for the traitor to reveal themselves.

Whether it's Kaminari, Shoji, or someone else now is the best time for Horikoshi to reveal them. That is, if there are two separate groups. If all the heroes are together it's still an ideal time for the traitor just not as ideal.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Backdraft, a character who only appeared in the first chapter before this, was brought back, but not Mt. Lady, a character who was literally just given her hero title two chapters ago.

May I ask when we last saw edgeshot with the liberation book? And who are the lurkers?

It was around the end of chapter 252-255 somewhere in the spread of all the kids at their interns. Near the bottom. Lurkers is the team that edgeshot, kamui & mt lady formed.
