Hooded character speculation *spoilers*

[Mysterio]

Opposing factions? What are you talking about?
Anyway, no one knows why those members are being marked for death yet. It will be explained at some point.

opposing faction: Nakamura and Deveuax. neither wanted to have anything to do with the plot to blow up new york. if the attacker is going after those who were conspirators in the plot, or the principle agents, then why go after Nakamura?

 

[Katsuro]

It has to be one of the original 12. Who cares whether or not it he included himself.

Just think about it for a second. He first suspected it to be one of the group, then when he found out he said "of all the them, i never thought it would be you". That statement implies that it was indeed one of "them". It was one of the people who he suspected, and he suspected the rest of the 12.

If it was Nathan, would he have said that? That statement wouldn't make the least bit of sense if it was Nathan or Peter or someone like that. It was one of "them", with "them" being the people him and Angela just discussed as being one of the killers.

Addionally it cant be Ma Patrelli, since he'd just spoken to her and his reaction would have likely been a bit different. It's probably not anyone we thought was dead, since he also would've reacted differently. It's almost certainly someone we haven't met, or have met but didn't know was part of the group (Sammy Jenkis, Kensei, etc.)

 

[Mysterio]

i agree with you. i'm just showing how it could be viewed another way. i think the attacker is a woman, though.

 

[cyclone]

I like the thought of Kensei definately.

Kaito Nakamura said to Ando, if he's going to stay and 'Fight' he'll need a sword. The only person we know who uses one (excpet Hiro, and i can't see it being him) is Kensei. So maybe he was expecting to come up against Kensei, maybe as discussed, Kensei's power is immortality?

 

[hippy fascist]

Papa petrelli?

 

[Sawyer]

Papa petrelli?

That could be interesting. I mean, we never saw him die. Heck, we never saw him period, with the exception of the War Buddies GN. And he could qualify as the last person Kaito expected for the fact that he was presumed dead.

 

[Sebastos]

Kensei is who i'm going with.

 

[Chris.]

Tonight's episode confirms it's not Nathan, finally the reaching can stop. So many horrible "theories" about it being Nathan.

 

[GreenKToo]

whoever it turns out to be, we'll all be like *damn, didnt see that one coming*

 

[bell110]

I think it's Nathans beard.

 

[Matt]

I doubt its anyone we know...but it will probably be a fairly big guest star.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Nichelle Nichols?

 

[chamber-music]

Kensei is who i'm going with.

Its probabley Takezo Sensei as they said is David Anders playing an villian and his character is immortal. So it wouldn't be suprising if his the big bad guy.

 

[Lone]

I think it's Kensei too. Prior to Kensei, I think it's safe to assume that the Godsend symbol was not of any particular significance?

Assuming he is immortal, he might be the founder of The Company. His encounter with Hiro might have given him purpose to find other people with special abilities.

For all we know, Kensei might even be THE first hero.

 

[dabadguy5937]

this episode i think proves its may be a person of combined powers. something tells me its still kensei at least we know he could have made the fall look easy, but it seemed like angela petrelli was having dream issues which goes along with what molly is having. so its gotta be some1 with an ability like sylar or peter. but i still think its kensei until proven different.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I think we will come to find that Maya and Alejandro's mother is part of the JSA type generation...as well as Nichelle Nichols.

 

[Mysterio]

personally, i think the hooded figure is a woman as well...

from this season's first Behind the Eclipse:

Matt from Massachusetts has two questions for you guys. "Is it me, or did the elder Nakamura's killer give off a female vibe? The gloves, the oversized jacket, but a very athletic attack and quick movement (could be a power) set off a few red flags and I think the legs looked a little thin compared to the outfit.

So it could be a woman, or a man, huh? Well, that about doubles the suspects. Wish we thought of that when we were shooting the scene. Oh wait, we did.

Hiro's father says "There are nine" - was he referring to the group the parents were all part of? Are "the nine" still alive? And we always assumed Mr. Nakamura had powers, but he seemed awfully easy to kill. Were we mistaken?

Mr. Nakamura had powers, but easy to kill? Maybe you didn't look at the crime scene hard enough.

[Sawyer]

I'm starting to think its Claude. I really dont know any motivation he would have, but it almost seemed like Angela was attacked by some invisible force and when Kaito was pushed, maybe the killer grabbed on to something, so he couldnt plummet to the ground.

 

[Abaddon]

I'd be disappointed if it was Claude.

 

[Katsuro]

For some reason I've seen a bunch of people assume Claude was part of this older generation. I never got that at all. He's far too young, and was ranked far too low in the company. He was only HRG's partner, he was even below Thompson.

Ever read Watchmen? The Comedian was, like, 16 when he joined a team for the first time.

 

[Krozee]

who says that its just one person?

i think its a group of people with different powers that are putting the hits on these people. i think that nathan and claude are part of it, but i dont know why. maybe someone from the original 12 convinced nathan and claude, and probly others to kill kaito, angela and more.

 

[Katsuro]

And that has what to do with anything? Besides, the other point is more important. He wasn't high up in the company at all. Absolutley nothing about the character indicated he was one of these original 12.

 

[Sawyer]

It has something to do with this because Claude was probably that age when the original 12 were in operation.

 

[Sebastos]

Its probabley Takezo Sensei as they said is David Anders playing an villian and his character is immortal. So it wouldn't be suprising if his the big bad guy.

It's Takezo Kensei.

Second I would think he's immortal aswell. After what happened last night I think he's still alive and could have been the one that killed Kaito.

I think it's Kensei too. Prior to Kensei, I think it's safe to assume that the Godsend symbol was not of any particular significance?

For all we know, Kensei might even be THE first hero.

I have to say I really liked the idea of Kensei probably being immortal ever since it was brought up it'd be a really interesting way to go with his character even if he turns up being evil or infact good.

I'd be disappointed if it was Claude.

The one who attacked Kaito could have been Kensei, but not Claude. I wouldn't say the same for what happened with the second attack though. It seemed like it was an invisible attacker.
