My Hero Academia's Ua Traitor Arc at last revealed a long-held mystery, but late arrival somewhat reduced the significance of this disclosure. Although the arc offers some interesting character moments, overall it feels underwhelming compared to past arcs. This essay investigates why the UA Traitor arc, despite late arrival, might still be regarded as a required prelude to the last battle.
Although a clever turn-around, the disclosure of Yuga Aoyama as the UA traitor loses the impact it could have had. Many readers expected this disclosure far earlier in the narrative, especially during the Hideout Raid arc when Bakugo was abducted. Early timing would have made the betrayal seem more significant and resultative. But by the time the reveals at last take place, Aoyama's actions have little bearing on the present affairs.
The situation has already peaked, thus Aoyama's help for All For One's cause seems little. Aoyama's past offers a logical justification for his behavior, but the lack of major influence lessens the impact of the reveal than it could have.
Though lacking the dramatic force of past arcs, the Ua Traitor Arc is quite important since it prepares the ground for the last battle. It presents the heroes' plan and introduces key components that will be absolutely vital in the approaching confrontation. The arc also offers characters an opportunity for last-minute training, so arming them for the ultimate conflict.
The way the arc emphasizes character development and atonement reveals its actual strength. The emotional exchange Deku has with Uraraka emphasizes their pre-final battle fears. Toga's trip back to her childhood house provides insight into the viewpoint of the villain, so augmenting the conflict. By means of Aizawa's conversation with him, even Aoyama's arc offers a road to atonement.
Though delayed reveal cause flaws, the UA Traitor arc is vital for pre-war preparation. It lets the viewers recover before the last confrontation. Although the main reveal of the arc lacks the impact it could have had, its strong character development and part in preparing the final battle help to transform it from a disappointment to a required stepping stone.
The UA Traitor arc provides insightful character moments and gets the viewers ready for the epic last fight even with the late reveal. Although it might not be the most interesting arc, it is quite important in tying the narrative to the climax.
My Hero Academia tracks the path of quirkless lad Izuku Midoriya, who aspires to be a hero. Entering UA, a university meant to prepare young heroes, he inherits the One-For- All quirk from All Might, the number one hero. Along the way, Deku and his friends overcome difficult enemies, train nonstop, and discover the real meaning of heroism.
