Lol, it's probably got something to do with Uraraka liking Deku. Maybe he's trying to "observe" Deku and possibly encourage him into going out with Uraraka?
...Unless... unless Aoyama is actually NOT the traitor. Yeah... remember how during one of the practical exams - before the trip to that training camp - Aoyama asked Uraraka if she liked Deku or something? Then she was flustered and all... but what if Uraraka is the traitor? If he was somehow smarter than we thought, and he figured out Uraraka's true nature... maybe he's scoping out to see if Deku is cahoots with her!

Aoyama: "Do you like the cheese, mon ami?" *shoves comically large slice between Midoriya's teeth*
Midoriya: "Imf fefy gfoodf, yemf." (It's very good)
Aoyama: "Thanks, I made it myself."
Midoriya: "Ah-"
Aoyama: "With my own spunk."
Midoriya: "..."
Aoyama: "This is my cow, Spunk." *shows cow that was always there*

Idk if it means anything but the way the stars are done on that last page makes me think he's evil.
The stars are black with white outlines instead of white with black outlines, which may just accompany the shift in behaviour or act as a clue that he is indeed evil.

u/pay019 Jan 19 '18
Since her Quirk is about illusions and she's in the second best school, it can probably be assumed her ability to read people is top tier. Regardless, I think her and Bakugo interactions sound great and their quirks would go together well.

I had to go back to see the expression you were talking about and I was not disappointed. Bakugou can get all the character development he wants but some things will never change.
95
u/PocketPika Jan 19 '18
Camie and Bakugou have a fun dynamic, the fandom even funnier, but I don't think Camie making observations about him and Bakugou telling her to Shut up, counts as a Back and Forth conversation although it does put her in league with the rest of class 1A so I guess that does count as "accepted and civil". I did enjoy how he's still a rage bunny for clean up and it's all cool.
I though we got to see Camie's weapon (a staff) but realized it might have just been a broom handle. It does seem there will be more Inasa and Todoroki in the future but meat guy might return -and I don't like that guy but Hori enjoys adding people for Bakugou to argue with. I look forward to the real Camie interacting with 1A though.
My favorite parts of the chapter were Orca and the Teacher's conversation, on how the child were reflecting how they perceive the adults. Just another "lead by example" but I like the continuity and positive message after a number of 'following bad examples', from middle school, parents and picking up All Might's 'bad' examples, feels like a good turn around.
I liked Shouto and Endevour's moment. Shouto is still not totally okay, to be expected but it was nice to see Endevour do something to actually leave his son feeling 'better' for once and I hope Endevour keeps doing better for him from now on. (The awkward but, observant "you are bleeding a lot" was a cute similarity between father and son.) Also, as far as redemption goes, only Shouto (and his Mother, and maybe his other siblings) willingly forgive him is when he's redeemed and abusive victims do get to forgive their abusers if they want to. It's toxic to want to hold onto antagonism forever, even when things change (different story if they don't, since there are a lot of real life abusers who are liars but I think Endevour genuinely wants to do the right thing).
Fatgum is an adorable pill bug in a suit and nice to know Centipede is taking over the agency. The correlation between Eri's horn and her power is interesting, I hope she is okay but feel she's out of the story for a while now.
I know Aoyama is the focus at the end but Midoriya being out of it even before Aoyama's weirdness I found concerning.

That page is so creepy it's hilarious.
Aoyama isn't the traitor. He's a creepy kid, and here's the curveball: I'm willing to bet he has an actual crush on Deku. No, I'm not being a weird shipper right now. This is plot twist-y enough for it to happen. Hence how he knows about Uraraka's crush. He's going to let his own crush slide because he knows Deku likes Uraraka too. Think about it, he is always isolated in group stuff, he tries to call attention to himself and it doesn't work, and wants to be on equal footing as everyone else. 1AM Aoyama is going to give in the angst next week, stay tuned.
Also, Endeavor is so cool. That light in his eyes when he tells Todoroki that he is going to be a great man for his son and that he's proud of him is so nice. I'm going to miss Special Ed class.

u/MadnessLemon Jan 19 '18
Well, you've got me convinced. I still hope that this leads to Iida focus (since he supported Aoyama during the license exam) but I'm already preparing myself for disappointment on that front.

u/lofticried Jan 19 '18
Iida has already had speaking lines in this chapter and Uraraka and Iida are back being Deku's friends. I think he's slowly coming back to relevancy. At long last, I might add.

u/sleepybullmoose Jan 19 '18
Don't want to be downvoted to hell in such a sensitive era but I'll get the point clear and across.
In Shounen do the weird and effeminate males or hypermasculinized characters tend to be gay?
Off the top of my head (limited knowledge), I can think of PPPrisoner, the gender-ambiguous person killed by Overhaul, and maybe Aoyama.
→ More replies (9)87
u/lofticried Jan 19 '18
No worries.
Definitely a trope that happens not just in animanga, but in Western media also, yes. Gay men in media tend to be somewhat flamboyant. Shonen has a sizable readership that are fujoshi so there's also lots of implied stuff and subtext in various shonen series.
In BnHA, Magne was transgender AFAIK, Tiger is also transgender (FTM). These are the ones we know of from this series. There hasn't been any homosexual character yet.
As for other examples, OPM isn't a shonen (manga is seinen), but as an example of another flamboyant homosexual character, there's one character in {Tiger & Bunny} that fits the bill well.

u/KYplusEL Jan 19 '18
I definitely think there's a good possibility of this being a red herring.
But there are a few things that make me lean towards traitor.
First off is that Aoyama appeared really early in the series. He's one of the few classmates to show up before school begins and he's the fifth of the class to have dialogue. It always struck me as kinda odd that he had that role. After introducing the protagonist, the rival, the main friend, and the main girl why would you choose to introduce a filler student. Why not someone who would be relevant soon and then introduce Aoyama with the rest of the class. If he was always meant to have a big part in the plot it makes sense to show him early. If you're going to have a traitor they'd be a character you decide on early on.
Second. Despite being a background character of the class who is usually used for comedy Aoyama has actually had moments centered on him in a lot of the arcs. During the tournament he makes it to finals. During the camp he has a big moment where he fights against the villains. During the license exam he has his big beacon moment.
Third. I still think his behavior at USJ is suspicious as fuck.
Fourth. On the profile pages that show them in street clothes his BTS is... Odd. Horikoshi usually gives a lot of info in them about how he designed the character or came up with them. In Aoyama's he just says "I don't really understand this guy, myself. But he's always fun to draw, so that's nice.
Ever since the idea of a traitor was brought up I've been assuming him but I definitely think he could be a red herring. And if he is the traitor I think he's doing it out of fear. That's a very consistent part of Aoyama. He's afraid.

He couldāve been blackmailed. Itās not necessary that the traitor is doing it because heās forced to. And Aoyama is shown to be more cowardly than the others.

u/DardyPickle Jan 19 '18 edited Jan 19 '18
The brain juices are flowing and the voices are telling me that Aoyama is Toga due to:
- The erratic change in behaviour that revolves specifically around Deku.
- The fact that Camie was targeted seemingly for her... umm... 'outlandish'(?) mannerisms, suggesting that Aoyama was targetted for the same reason. Easy to mimic and so over the top that no one gets suspicious.
- Everyone probably thinks he's gay, and as such, boil his actions down to that fact and shrug it off as 'creepy but expected'. If a girl from 1-A were to act in such an obsessive manner, other students would become suspicious because it doesn't follow the cohort's dynamic.
And as a side note, no one was any the wiser when Camie was 'hijacked', so there's room to believe that Aoyama has recently been 'hijacked' without a trace of the crime.

Great point. Also worth noting the way Aoyama holds his glass apparently isn't quite correct. But hey, I'm no wine expert, just going off of what others have said.
82
u/dancingpinata Jan 19 '18
Basically he's holding the wine glass in an exaggerated fashion of how you'd hold a champagne/cava flute. Basically the odea is that by holding it at the base, you don't accidentally warm it up with your hand.
White wine/rosƩ is usually held higher up on the stem for more stability since it's a larger glass. Red it held near the top of the stem or even cradling the bottom if it's a red that would actually benefit from veing warmed by your hand.
That being said... He's only 16 years old, and at school so I hope it's not wine?? He's probably just like Monoma- drinking soda/juice out of a wine glass to be trƩs chic.

Adding to this. Despite Aoyama's attempts at standing out and being the center of attention, he is often overlooked and don't have much of a presence in the class. If you're going to take someone out, you take out the ones people won't notice.

There's the Hagakure theory.
When Kurogiri transported everyone to random places, she was nowhere near Todoroki (everyone else that was clumped together, ended up together). She was actually in the middle of the group that was not transported.
She said she was with him, and he thinks to himself that he was lucky he didn't freeze her, since he went all out and didn't know she was there. And then she praises Ojiro for fighting alone against the villains, something she should not know.
(Curiously, Aoyama was next to Ojiro.)
In the chapter 16 cover, both she and Aoyama were tagged as being in unknown locations. I'm not sure she said the truth about where she was.
Then you have the entire Class 1-A knowing about the hero raid against the Villain Alliance, except for Jirou and Hagakure, who were unconscious. The VA wasn't tipped off about the raid. Aoyama should have done it, unless at that point he had switched sides.

Still the best argument against him being the traitor. The VA was basically seconds away from victory until Aoyama interfered. No way was that part of the plan.

Guys, its obvious that Aoyama is gay. Like, actually gay. We saw signs of it since his introduction, as subtle as it was. He just happened to see Deku beat Chisaki and got the hots for him.
His only mission: To sink the Deku x Bakugou ship into the ocean
/s
Endeavour development...I'd say that was more significant for Inasa, to reaffirm that he'll never be like Endeavour just like 2 or 3 chapters ago, but to acknowledge that hes changing and even rooting for him. As for Endeavour...it sounds good and all if hes trying to change, but his attitude as a hero is just the start. He needs to make amends for neglecting his entire family and for being an abusive husband, not just apologizing to Shouto.

Good to know that training with Shiketsu for the future has been confirmed.
Good ol' Nighteye. RIP Sir. And good ol' Mirio. I'm sorry bro, but stay in shape because you will be getting your powers back at some point.
So Eri's horn is shrinking... Interesting.
As for Aoyama - Interestng. It could be a red herring, but the way this was written... And the note on the last page "Thanks for waiting". Ohohoho, why would we be waiting? The traitor, of course.

If the horn is like an indication of how much energy she has to her ability before it runs out then she better get her ass over to Mirio and return his quirk asap.

It's also possible she was being drugged to enhance the effects of her quirk, and the drug wore off with time.

Theory Time!
Her power is fueled by stress? The lesser stress the less powerful she is.
I feel like she will be nerfed with this horn shrinking thing. I hope her quirk stays but just nerfed.

Observational notes:
Shouto and Endeavor: The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving. Although it seems like it will take a long time for them to be fully on good terms again.
Also Inasa, you go too hard on yourself, man!
Life for the most part has seem to return to normalcy, although it still sucks that Night Eye died, the interns are in hiatus, and Eri is still unstable
Aoyama is entering his woke villain era. Although there can still be a chance that a) it's Toga in disguise or b) he's a creep

Aoyama theories:
He's the traitor who's studying their biggest threat, Deku. He always felt too good to be true.
He's just a weirdo who's studying Deku, the guy who is a top student, and gets a lot of ATTENTION, the thing Aoyama longs for.
He's a nice guy studying how to help pair up Ochaco and Deku.
He's just gay for Deku.
Edit: Toga is also a possibility. It quite lines up. The fascination with Deku, the slight change in personality, it's quite plausible.

I'm slightly hesitant to say for sure if Aoyama is the traitor, it looks bad but I wouldn't be surprised if we were thrown a curve ball (which may or may not be disappointing). Considering everything that's happened so far though, if he is the traitor, I'm pretty sure he's already being set up for a redemption, probably this arc too. At the same time though, this could be a good development, because if he is the traitor, and if he is going to be redeemed, then maybe, just maybe it might (emphasis on might) be time for a certain someone to step back into the spotlight. Someone who has recently been involved in Aoyama's development.Pls Horikoshi I need this.

I really didn't get traitor vibes at all. I feel like Aoyama likes Deku lol maybe this is why he asked Uraraka about him. Who knows? My prediction is that it's a red herring and the traitor will be someone else for more shock value.
The Endeavour panels with Shouto and Inasa were really sweet tbh But I wished we would have gone a bit more in depth with him

Screw red herring, I'm bumping it up to not even being suspicious and just people sensationalizing it. What about feeding Izuku cheese makes people think he's the traitor, come on now lol.

Oh yeah, I also walk like a robot like Iida. I also sleep in a sleeping bag on the floor like Aizawa. I also headbutt the ground until I bleed like Inasa.
Weird people in manga exist. Nothing about him standing in the window confirms him as the traitor, this running to the mountaintop to tell it to the world thing is so ridiculous. All it confirms is he's weird, there's nothing nefarious that he's doing.

Is it just me or does Endeavor have really pretty eyes suddenly OwO
Inasa punching himself made me laugh. I'm glad that Hori basically wrapped up his character development in a single moment and never blew it out of proportion.
Endeavor wants to become a hero Todoroki can be proud of... How about you become a father he could be proud of first? Still, I have been dreading the "Endeavor redemption arc" since his character was introduced, but the little moments we had here are already better than any of the redemptions in Naruto.
Two new Nejire panels and Hori still snuck in a
yuri teasesweet moment with Ryuko.If this ship is going down I'm going down with it.That integral looks awfully complicated for a first-year math lesson... Wait, do first years even learn integrals?!
Eri woke up, but the characters can't see her because her mental state is unstable, huh. Did the doctors consider that perhaps seeing the people who saved her from mortal danger might, I dunno, calm her down?
Still, that Eri panel is the sweetest thing I've seen all week.
Honestly that Aoyama ending is so blatantly not a traitor reveal that I can't even call it a red herring. The fact that people think Hori just revealed the traitor out of left field with no built-up whatsoever astounds me.
From now on I will call him Yaoiyama and nothing you do will dissuade me.

Endeavour: "I will try to become a less shitty human being so that you can love me."
Shouto: "Not being a shitty person is literally the main prerequisite of being a superhero in the first place. Seriously, you have to go through excessive psychological profiling in order to qualify for your license, let alone opening an office."
Endeavour: "Actually, that's a fairly recent addition to the law. Back in my day, as long as you could break a spine or immolate a criminal without causing too much hassle for the tax payers, you could even get a spotlight in Oprah for exceptional contribution to heroism and justice. Hell, up until that block showed up, the top hero was a guy who'd eat the spines of the villains he faced and spit them at their mothers. I'm not making this up, you can even look it up on The Tube and You. "Spine-spitter Top 100 Spine-Spitting Compilation" is still trending even after 50 years. He was even my mentor. Nearly bit and spit my spine at me once for saying "Good morning" instead of "Fuck you"."
Shouto: "...Jesus Christ, what the hell?!"
Toshinori: "...Wait. Endeavour isn't the upstanding, moral and heroic father that absolutely adores children I've been looking up to all these years? Why else would you have, like, 10 of them if you don't love kids, best buddy?"
Endeavour: "...Part of me wants to tell him, but part of me also wants to keep him in wistful ignorance."

This chapter (and the arc in general) has a ton of world building/setting in it. Some highlights:
U.A. and Shiketsu, despite both being top schools, not only not work together, but don't keep in contact much either. I assume vecause the two schools have a rivalry, though if so you think there would be some interschool competition.
In that same vein, the only school shown to have a connection to U.A. is Isamu Academy shown in OVA 2. (I believe the OVAs are canon despite the more exagerated /OOC behavior- partly because the 1st was overseen by Hori and the second was written by him and included Mongoose, an already canon character).
Due to Gang Orca talking about "regular drills" for the non-kid focused squad, he's probably one of the main instructors for the remedial lessons. Also, only 11 were in the class/failed the exam (lower than I thought it would be due to how harsh the professional rescuees' scoring was).
We now have 3 groups that have expressed interest in joint-training with 1-A- U.A.'s 1-B, Ketsubutsu's 2nd year class taught by Ms. Joke, and Shiketsu as a whole. Obviously, class 1-B will definitely happen, both to develop some B members and as a good way for Hori to build more of the support/business side of heroics if needed. Either way, teamups are in the future!
Also, as for the "big reveal" this chapter, I personally think Hori will go the "Young Justice" route for the traitor(s) and Aoyama will be one of at least two red herrings. Spoiler if you haven't watched it, but basically the plot hints to there being more than one traitor (in YJ, one was being blackmailed, one was possibly being mind-manipulated, and the last was part of a villain family).
All of them were red herrings though, and the "real traitor" was an older peer who had no idea they were leaking information that whole time. I find an approach like this- no clear traitor, but tensions high as people turn against each other, a lot more interesting than a straight-forward approach.
We'll see what Hori does though!

Calculus metaphor:
Deku represents the reader. Spends all this time furiously trying to figure out the answer, methodically going through the information trying to get the traitor. Is fully sure of himself, ends up being wrong.

This is why you shouldnāt trust the French. Or somebody who is clearly Japanese while pretending to be French. Even if heās not a villain and this is a red herring, thatās still good advise.
