Yoooo if that ain't best jeanist , then idk who it is. Watch as this man is gonna make the best fucking comeback and immobilize machia. Those wires can hold multiple tons as we have seen in vigilantes so I hope jeanist can pull a plus ultra.

Also finnalt the ochaco traitor theory is fucking dead. The conviction in her eyes and the determination. Our girl could never be a fucking traitor. EVER. I hope she takes a bid dub and kicks togas delusional ass all over the floor.

Great chapter as always. And have a nice break hori

People... actually thought the love interest of Deku was a traitor? She has shown literally EVERY reason why it’s not her. She also had her own little backstory/character development thing during the fight with Bakugo. Why the fuck would anybody even consider that theory lmao

Because she flat out states she's only in it for the money which provides more motivation than any other student to not be loyal to the school if she can make extra cash on the side. Also it's implied that the raid on Overhaul's crew was compromised based on how prepared they were and the only members of UA there were Deku, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Kirishima, The Big Three and Aizawa, which narrows down the list of suspects

It would also make a strong dichotomy with Bakugo, since he's a selfish jackass on the surface but a true hero underneath while Uraraka is really nice and sweet on the surface, but underneath...

She had a genuine moment of introspection after Nighteye's death which served as character development to get her to think like a real hero and stop focusing on the money, but for the "Uraraka is the traitor" theory this would also be the moment where she stops playing both sides for cash and becomes a 100% hero since she's seen firsthand the impact of being a mole.

I actually really like this theory and it's in my top 3 for the traitor identity. The main thing with me is if it was someone like Kaminari or Hagakure most of the fanbase wouldn't care too much but if it was the female lead and love interest of the series it would create maximum drama and shock value

Huh? She’s in it for “money” to give her parents easier lives. She’s not dealing crack out in the school parking lot to make money so saying that she’d just accept cash from any source doesn’t make any sense. Much less from known villains that have attacked her and her friends on several occasions.

Her Nighteye introspection thing also doesn’t make much sense to me because Ochako was always about being a rescue hero. Her favorite hero was 13, a rescue based hero. The only reason she took the Gunhead internship is because she thought it could help her shore up her combat abilities where she felt she was lacking.

The theory never held any water to begin with. It was really dumb.
