(Almost) Literally Every Sus Thing About Hagakure

Alright so I’m regretting never posting my theories about traitor Hagakure in the past cause now people are saying that there’s no real evidence against her. So here’s a list of every piece of evidence I can remember over the last 300 chapters!

The mystery behind her quirk

We, and the UA students, have an extremely rudimentary understanding of her quirk. It’s never been fully explained, and Hori even said all the way back in volume 2 that the time wasn’t right to introduce her quirk. This was weird considering that he included this on her character page, which is exactly where he typically explains quirks. Speaking of character introductions….

Hagakure is the ONLY Class A student who has never been featured at an episode break. I went through and checked literally every episode. Even though all 19 other students have been featured multiple times, she hasn’t been even once.

How she got into UA

People have been debating her ability to actually pass the entrance exam since the beginning. For that matter, how she scored above Midoriya in the physical exam and made it past the first round of the sports festival too. None of those things should be possible with just her quirk, but we also see in the training montage leading up to the sports festival that she (seemingly) can’t even do a single pull up. 

This means that she must be hiding either some kind of physical prowess, support gear, or additional quirk(s) to enhance her performance. Her very existence at UA doesn’t make sense otherwise.

We have literally NEVER seen her seriously fight

Let’s take a look at all the battles she participated in, shall we?

Entrance exam: not shown

Heroes vs Villains exercise: immobilized immediately

USJ attack: not shown, assumed to be with Todoroki but she could’ve been lying

Obstacle course: not shown

Calvary battle: sat on someone’s shoulders, that’s it

Final exams: snuck up on Snipe and ended the fight immediately. Never had to fight

Beast forest: acts as a distraction (runs around some)

Training camp attack: unconscious from the beginning

Provisional exam: We finally see one of her moves!!! For like a second and that’s it

Joint training: threw some punches for a bit. This is the closest we’ve gotten to see her seriously fight but it was uncoordinated and messy

Class A vs Gigantomachia: receives a dose of the knock-out drug from Momo but isn’t shown the rest of the fight

In other words, we have NO IDEA what she’s capable of. Absolutely none. If we did, we might’ve caught on to the fact that she fights with more than just her invisibility.

Hints that she’s not invisible all the time

She slips up every so often. Forgets that she’s invisible. It’s played for laughs, but it’s still sus. 

Ex: Telling Ojiro to look away when she changes in the Heroes vs Villains arc, getting mad at Snipe for bumping into her chest when he would have literally no way of knowing he was doing so

These incidents suggest modesty on her part, but she’s also the only girl who ISN’T mad at Mineta for tricking her into dressing as a cheerleader. These two personality traits don’t add up

UA never discovered which League member snuck in and stole intel because the person who did it was invisible

This refers to before the USJ. The heroes that the League must’ve taken advantage of the media frenzy to sneak in and steal the class schedule, but that should’ve been easily confirmed by security cams. It wasn’t because the cameras couldn’t see the culprit.

No way was she actually with Todoroki at USJ

I already touched on this, but I firmly believe she lied about her whereabouts at USJ. Here’s why:

Consider who she claimed to be with and who she told about it. Ojiro is the only person she’d worked with so far in class – when they fought against Todoroki. When she tells Ojiro about being paired with Todoroki, all she says is “He’s strong!” No details. Just a simple statement based on how little she knows about him, told directly to the only other person in class who had been on the receiving end of that strength. She engineered her lie so it was most likely to be believed.

Her stats in the Ultra Analysis book don’t line up with her actions

As listed on the wikia, Hagakure has a perfect score in cooperation. Yet when she’s working with Shoji in the final exam, she runs off without strategizing with him at all, leaving him in the dark without a plan.

The famous sleeping bag scene from the forest training arc

Early on in the traitor theory, the scene of all the students sleeping was picked apart for any clues regarding the traitor

Hagakure’s bed is unmade with the covers at the bottom. We can see an indent where her body supposedly is, but it’s missing arms. This means that her arms must not be on the mattress, but we don’t see her holding anything. Two likely explanations are:

she’s mad whatever she’s holding invisible, something she’s supposedly didn’t know how to do at the time

she’s not in bed and what we see is a left over impression

Nobody ratted out the Kacchan rescue squad to AFO

This is one of the things that sold me on Hagakure back in the day. When Kirishima makes his intentions known to rescue Kacchan, all of Class A minus Yaoyorozu, Jiro, and Hagakure are there. Yaoyorozu, of course, is part of the retrieval squad. Jiro and Hagakure aren’t there because they’re both passed out from Mustard’s gas. This means that the traitor MUST be one of them because everyone else in class would’ve had a chance to alert AFO

Hagakure is the one who suggested Class A go to the mall that Shigaraki was wandering around in

Just a popular suspicion, but AFO could’ve asked her to do this to help Shigaraki develop 

Hori said Toga wouldn’t turn invisible if she drank Hagakure’s blood

Another hint that she’s not invisible all the time

In “Make My Story” Hagakure is shown front and center, posed as if she’s holding Deku in the palm of her hand. MEGA sus and makes me worried about what she’ll do next

bees in the brain

there are bees in my brain

and i know youre probably thinking "there isnt actually bees in your brain right?" like no of course not but it feels like there is.

theres lots of sound in there all the time.

whether it be a song im listening to all the time (theres a few) or a kpop dance that im learning or homework that i know is due but i cant be bothered to do.

they are very loud all the time.

and sometimes i feel like some of them are actually just wasps in disguise. jabbing self depricating thoughts into my brain like a fork through your food. why do you look like that? do you really sound like that? your laugh is annoying. your friends aren't really your friends theyre lying to you. your better by yourself yadda yadda the list goes on.

learning to acknowledge these evil evil wasps is not easy

im not making this inspirational i just needed to rant i think

idk where this is going

bees arent bad just annoying i guess, they're ok sometimes.

I am currently raging at this mistranslation in the anime.

I noticed it was “You’re different than your brothers,” in the manga and it hit me as odd. I went to check the anime and it’s translated as siblings in both the sub and dub. But if you listen to the Japanese he says niisan, or brother. He does not say sibling (kyoudai). The anime mistranslated this.

It seems like a minor thing to mistranslate but this one line from Endeavor says a whole lot about him. Endeavor didn’t even consider Fuyumi because she was a girl. Shouto is different from his brothers and only his brothers. Fuyumi never mattered simply because she was born female. 

Endeavor is misogynistic and that fact should not be erased.

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”
