I d say especially Eijirou, coz he took Katsuki´s kidnapping the hardest, and ot find out one of his best pals was behind it....that d cause some serious damage to his mental health. Jirou too. As for Kacchan, I think he d just get pissed and get over it gradually, to be fair we can assume that he will have through the whole series probably a lot bigger problems than Kaminari being the traitor, but who knows, he has just learnt to trust people so it could actually affect him more.

It would be better if his quirk was actively destroying his personality. Imagine him receiving permanent damage everytime he pushes his quirk too hard just like Dabi.

If Hori remembers, then a lot of those small things could definitely become bigger soon.

What makes me love this theory is the fact that Denki would get a lot of screen time, we would get to really know him and his split personality as he grows up, and in my opinion he would have total control of his quirk and because of the UA training it would be n early impossible getting close to him without getting shocked

[@hokai9878]

Honestly that was the main motivator behind this theory lol. Even tho now I sell more to the idea of Aoyama, this was essentially just because I think Kamniari is criminally underused in the story. Like he's got one of the coolest designs and powers and while his jokes are funny, for someone they market as heavily as the other MCs he is not nearly as relevant as them. I just thought it'd be cool if he was a villain

@@hokai9878 True, it would be awesome

[@jackiethecockatiel6967]

If Kaminari were to prove himself the traitor, it would be interesting from a narrative point of view and also to see the reaction of his closest friends (Jirou, Kirishima and Bakugo). Then Horikoshi is a good writer, all the little clues he leaves us, seem insignificant but nothing is random, you have to be able to grasp the details.

I think that somebody should start to suspect Kaminari and call him out when their either alone or in a crowd basically exposing him, I know it kinda cliche but in my perspective I think it would be cool.

[@krishnavinesh5638]

^this

[@dspace4514]

The split personality is a theory that makes sense and it connects with something that i found weird throughout MHA. Throughout the manga, everyone quirks weakness has evolved in their physical form: - Izuku has found a way to use OFA without breaking his bones. - Uraraka has increased the amount of weight she could use her quirk on. - Todoroki has managed to get his body more used to the extreme temperatures of his quirk. - Even freaking Mineta has managed to increase the number of balls he could throw. And so on. And then theres Kaminari. Now, im not saying Kaminari hasn't improved since the beginning, quite the contrary, he has managed to find a way to use his Quirk without hurting anyone, that being his support items. But thats the thing: he is the only one who needs to rely on his support item to actuall work properly, with the exception of Jiro, but Jiro quirk is more of a scouting position rather than Kaminari who is obviously an offensive quirk. I believe that when Kaminari fries his brain, the real Kaminari comes out, even if temporarily. When he goes into 'Wheeeey', thats the real Kaminari pretending to be dumb, so no one suspects him. Kaminari is training in order to increase the limit his brain can take, but what if its the opposite and its allowing the other kaminari more time to take over until he can fully take over Kaminari? At least thats my opinion.

[@brigittepaj7336]

That could be true, but I feel like Kaminari’s good and bad side is trying to keep all of his actions on the same page.

[@billystokes3917]

Well Kaminari also absorbed a massive surge of electricity during the war arc, and didn't seem to fry his brain at all during the fight. When Midnight said "think of who you want to protect the most" Kaminari thought of Jiro. Kaminari also saved every hero from being fried because he absorbed the electricity. Kaminari also seems to have a thing for electronics.

[@obrienjackson6907]

There are people with quirks that rely on equipment. Ida needs equipment to not overheat at fast speed too long, the hero with the gun, hero that sucks things at the first training arc through her suit. Most likely more. Present mic too

[@fatimagreatfatima]

BRO THAT WOULD BE SO COOL

[@akacoco727]

If Kaminari is the traitor, I always assumed that maybe he was trying to recruit villains as well. During the Joint Training Arc, he was particularly interested in befriending/gaining the trust of Shinsou, a student whose Quirk is known to have the most villain potential. If this was the case, I also think it'd be an interesting arc for Shinsou to reject Kaminari's offer to be a villain.

[@hokai9878]

That's a really interesting point actually! I always thought Shinso would replace the member of Class 1-A that ended up being the traitor so that conversation between "The Hero who was dubbed a Villain" and "The Villain that played a Hero" is such a badass idea. I'm in love with that.

[@diostaku2]

What a good observation, Kaminari always acts friendly but he also did the same with Bakugo (another "bad" boy in theory) and unlike Kirishima who was more clearly seen as the reason for making a connection with Bakugo, in the case of Kaminari he was almost out of nothing.

[@tar4825]

I'd rather be accused of villainy than telling people the real reason why I tried to befriend Shinsou ////

[@tatejenkins4846]

I personally love this theory and this video perfectly describes the theory. If he is the traitor the that would lead to some great moments in the series and I would love to see how the characters would react to him as the traitor, Jirou in my opinion would be affected the worst she would be heartbroken, Mineta would be depressed knowing that he lost his only friend, Aizawa would also be depressed knowing that he lost one of his students and that he couldn’t tell he was in trouble and I have sense Bakugo would be also pretty crushed by his betrayal knowing full well that he let someone get to him and befriend him when Bakugo is clearly the most observant of the class, also the whole school would pretty much hate class 1a for having a traitor. Denki would also be in some big trouble and if him being the traitor is the endgame and that he would have to fight his friend I think he’d ultimately return to the side of good and probably have to sacrifice himself probably even killing a member of the league in the crossfire. If he isn’t and there is no traitor I’m fine with it but I’d be kinda bummed.

I just always found 2 things weird about him. 1. He has probably the best quirk in the entire 1st year class, making triple the amount of electricity a house uses in a day in one attack. Then he recovers from it in like 20 minutes and can do it again. Practically all electricity users are over powered in anime, yet they Literally sleep on the character with the most potential. 2. His confidence is uncanny. He’s always making jibes at Bakugo, and even went as far as to sit next to him at the sports festival when everyone else scooted away from him. Even kirishima sat like 2 seats away. 2. His face whenever he uses his attack, is probably just as unhinged and wild as Bakugo’s.

[@tythegreatttg]

Ikr talkinf about great story telling i would love to see this. I always thot kami way stronger than what we have seen. He could kill almost anyone with one attack. He can easily be deku lvl with his quirk bc you can do some crazy shit with lightning. Then his personality would change he would be more badass. Kinda like killua how he is friendly but he has that darker side would he can kill you with no problem. Like image kami with the Chidori killing a hero that would be lit.

While yes, it was revealed in the latest chapter that Hagakura was the traitor. You have to remember that AFO said that he has a lot of friendS (plural), meaning there could multiple traitors. It would make sense as it would explain how the league found the training camp, and how the signal was cut off at the USJ, cause it was also Kaminari. Plus I personally think it would be a smart move by AFO to have multiple traitors

[@gianbs1]

I got the theory that Denki works with AFO but not because he wants, I think that he's part of a yakuza family like Overhaul and he has the mission to be infiltrated in UA, but he ended up loving and caring about Jirou, Kirishima, Bakugou and all of his friends and now that the families of the class are living in UA the yakuza and AFO are planing to attack UA (Denki's parents are part of the yakuza too) he needs to decide if he's going to continue the mission or he's going to betray his family to save his classmates, if my theory is true I think that Denki can already control his split personality (the negative side is his powerful side), so if he decides to betray the yakuza we can see a pretty op Kaminari

The most extroverted character in the whole series, also has a quirk that makes it extremely difficult to borderline impossible at time to fight alongside his comrades. Perhaps a piece of irony thats also ironic to him being a traitor amongst a group he cares for?

[@sage-qp1ph]

I definitely agree with theory. As much as I don't want to believe it, Kaminari is arguably the character with the most potential to be the UA traitor. However, at 13:17, I do agree that Kaminari isn't actually performing the Meta Liberation Army signal with his hands or anything, but in the Meta Liberation arc, during the fight between Toga and Curious (specifically in chapter 226), Curious uses her left hand to make the make the Liberation sign -- just like Kaminari. This might be a bit of stretch, but I thought I needed to say this.

Even if this theory may have been incorrect. As of right now I prefer this theory over the canonical itteration as hagakure wasn't a kind of person I was as invested persay. This theory covers little cliches although the concept is phenomenal especially of how uniquely the creator portrayed his quirk in this theory. Of course Hagakure did need some kind of development and something to latch onto rather then some one kind gag; with how mha has shown its recent developments its anticipating to see how Hagakure performs still under the guise as a traitor. But personally I feel let down that Kaminari didn't end up being the traitor with this approach.
