Ukyo Traitor Theory

(This was made based on chapter 214, entirely for fun, and shouldn't be taken seriously haha)

Anyone who enjoys mysteries or crime thrillers knows that in order to convince a jury that someone is guilty, you need to establish three things: the means, the motive, and the opportunity of the crime.

First, the means. What allowed Ukyo to commit the crime of activating the medusa? Here, his ears are a great asset: it gained him the knowledge of how to activate the medusa, and the ability to listen in on any conversations that the participants may have thought were private.

His other great ability is being trustworthy. In the Empire, Tsukasa instantly trusted him enough for him to become one of the big 3, even though Ukyo was against his killing. He later becomes one of the wise generals despite having more of a support role compared to the others.

There's no reason for Ukyo to have consistently been the one entrusted with the medusa. If they needed a fighter to protect it, why not choose Kohaku? If they just needed to keep it hidden, why not Gen, who already hides many things on his person?

This brings us to the second point— the opportunity. Ukyo's ears allow him a wider range than most to find out whether or not someone's approaching, and as the sole protector of the medusa in several cases, Ukyo has had many opportunities to either examine it or activate it.

For brevity's sake, lets assume the command was spoken after the 7.5 year timeskip. This means the earliest they acquired the medusa again was chapter 206. Ukyo seemed to be the first one on the scene, and in the chaos could have easily done something with the medusa.

The medusa isn't shown until chapter 209, where it's revealed that Ukyo and Yo had delivered the medusa by themselves. This gives Ukyo countless opportunities when Yo was asleep to meddle with the device. Oddly, Ukyo's also been in charge of locking the medusa up twice.

Now this does require Ukyo to have actually said the command to the device at some point. For long-scale commands like Chelsea said, he could have done it on the way from the US. On a shorter scale, we know he can open the safes since he was the one to lock them inside.

In the unlikely case there was always someone else around the medusa with him, he did have access to several key items (this is a bit of an extreme case, however…): a crystal radio earring similar to the one on Treasure Island, a radio transmitter, and a recording device.

As the radio operator on the ship and on land, Ukyo would not be out of place borrowing the radio equipment. He also would have had the ability to lower the range of the radio waves so fewer places would pick it up.

Why does he need radio equipment? To send a recording of his chosen command to himself at a specific time.

Where's he getting the recording equipment from? Given he was just in Corn City, he could have borrowed Minami's or Xeno's setup, since both of them have them.

The last thing he needs is a way of quietly delivering the recording to the medusa itself, and what better way than to use the easy-to-make crystal radio earring slipped into his little archer cuffs. As long as he holds the device, it'll be close enough to whisper the command.

The final requirement is motive. Why would Ukyo betray his friends and put them in danger? The truth here may be the opposite: he knows that the petrification beam won't hurt anyone, and the sudden uncertainty surrounding the device may force Senku to stay on Earth longer.

We also know that Chrome wants to avoid the "hard and fast" route so they can build a return rocket. Given how loud Chrome is, I doubt Ukyo missed all of his yelling. By causing a delay, Ukyo can give them the time they need to save their friends from doing something risky.

So to recap: Ukyo has the means, motive, and opportunity to activate the medusa, as well as being the only wise general to have fallen to the sidelines (they literally sent him away to Corn City!)

Obviously, he's the most suspicious! Why doubt it!?

The truth is, the way the story is being constructed right now is leading you to that conclusion, which could mean it's a red herring. This wouldn't have been the first time someone's acted suspiciously and it been nothing: Gen with Senku's birthday, and Ukyo's introduction.

If you didn't catch Ukyo's "menacing look" in the last chapter, this chapter makes it obvious. Ukyo is gone when the beam hits, and is only shown checking on the medusa. He doesn't join in on the discussion despite being there, and only comments when the device is brought up.

Those are also his only lines in the whole chapter, and he's still sticking close to the device while Kaseki works on it, hovering behind him. For the rest of the chapter, he's absent.

As a tangent, you may have noticed that Gen's presence was heavily felt this chapter, perhaps moreso than Senku's. This is because Gen tends to be the vessel for the readers' questions, and the reader has a lot of them right now. He's also one of the most empathetic characters.

Gen's role here is to get the reader on his side and suspecting a traitor. The panel of Gen posed at the doorway, immediately followed by him questioning Yo forces us to think of Gen's motives here. Gen first goes to Yo who, by most accounts, is much less trustworthy than Ukyo.

He then openly has a conversation with Senku, along one of the newest members of their posse: Chelsea. Who is also known for blurting things out.

His choice of people to trust by telling them his suspicion again forces us to consider other characters.

From how Gen acts, we can see that he likely suspects Ukyo, but at no point did he actually state it outright.

So what's the narrative effect being created here? Ukyo is being separated from the "main" group�� the ones in focus in most of the panels & sharing their thoughts freely. With Gen remarking that someone could have done it at any time, our thoughts go to the first candidate: Ukyo.
