Who will betray Buffy?

[Lukee]

Willow didn't say she wouldn't betray Buffy.... in-fact she said something like not as much as she has to or something.

Well i voted Willow because well what we saw and read in 'Anywhere but here'. Although i think Giles will too I'm even thinking Dawn may do too.
But i think Xander will stay Loyal to Buffy.

If it's someone VERY unexpected, then my vote goes to Xander. It seems as though everyone else in the comic so far has shown the potential. Everyone seems a lil detatched from her, except Xander.

it may still be willow thou becuse it looked like they couldnt remeber the conversation that happened wich could mean their friendship is getting more distant. That i do not like.

I haven't got Issue 10 yet, so I don't know as much as some others. But I chose Xander. Itd be hilarious to see him scratching Buffy.

Exact quote. She says she won't betray her.

You answered it for me. Any more then she has to so yes she will betray her. There was even the flash of Buffy laying all cut and such. Because of Willow.

[buffysmglover]

now im being spoiled. lol

[eriktheslayerboy]

now i get it. No more confusion for me.

I don't think you understand her "Anymore than I have,". She was referring to her and Tara being happy while she was dead, and keeping her feelings from Buffy.

I get what you mean. My bad.
But still theres that image of Buffy laying bleeding. And its Willows fault.. so thats where I'm seeing the betrayal.

I think a lot of issue 10 is very suggestive of Willow's mystical walkabout being a walkabout in time, in the future, particularly the 'we haven't met yet' line. I think Willow knows what's going to happen, who's going to betray Buffy, and that - by not telling her - she is in some way responsible for what happens to Buffy in the future, and that's why the demon is showing it to them. I think events will eventually link Buffy to Fray, and that Willow believes in 'the end of magic'; whatever she's not telling Buffy, I think it's for the greater good.

I'm going to say that everyone is going to turn their backs on Buffy - in the way that Giles already has, and Willow seems to be distancing herself, too - until there's no one left but her and Xander. That's when Whedon will pull Xander's 'unexpected' betrayal out of the bag. And the rest of the Scoobies will save her. Yay!

Why on earth would you think it's Willow's fault that Buffy is lying down, bleeding?

Buffy asked her if it was because of her. She didnt say yes or no so its 50/50 to if she will do this to her.

lmao Go read it again. Buffy asks if Willow would do it. And she replies "No. I won't betray you."

Oh kay feels mega kay yer your right just looked at it again.

However the minder states "Betrayal the closest the most unexpected" Si could still be Willow i mean its not hard to lie really.

I think Giles will play a part in betraying Buffy. Imo he already has by not letting her in on Faith and such.

I really dont want it to be Xander.

It could still be Willow, but from what I know of Willow and her history, she wouldn't do something like that to Buffy. And she's not a liar.

Giles is a good candidate, but he's the obvious one...maybe too obvious.

Characters change. They have been through hell and back there not the same as they used to be. If Willow truly believes that if she has to betray Buffy for the great good i think she would but not with out feeling the pain.

Yer Giles is a little too obvious but i feel he has already betrayed her. By not telling her about Faith and such even when he knows about there history.

I think Dawn maybe be part of the betray gang. Shes feels Buffy doesn't need her now and all. She has her new 'sisters'. Maybe Dawn will do something.

[hitnrun017]

Someone close will betray her... I'm actually going with Buffy on this one. Maybe she will betray herself without even realizing it. She seems to be going down a path that in the future will have bigger consequences that are bigger then the one's she's dealing with now.

[buffysmglover]

Because we are thinking OH, ITS SOMEONE VERY UNEXPECTED, its not going to be who we think it is because its supposed to be unexpected. Joss has proven well enough thats not how he works. If people start saying IT MUST BE XANDER because thatd be so unexpected, well... its not unexpecting to you because now you're guessing him. Joss ALWAYS surprises the fans, not just the characters.

Because of this, I say Riley. I doubt it would be dawn. Faith's not as close to her. A bunch of people think its xander. Giles should be working on rebuilding his and Buffys relationship right now. Her father isnt close to her at all, as far as Im concerned Giles is the closest thing she has to a father. Angel would have to come from IDW and I dont think thats what Joss wants to do. So, I say Riley. He's closer to her than Faith anyways.

EDIT

as an add on, What if its not someone Buffy is currently close to but will become very close to? Like... Satsu, maybe?

[buffysmglover]

mikey said:

Who knows, maybe Satsu will get closer to Buffy during the next arc! And maybe she really is the "inside man". Which would be why she'd betray her. OMG. lol Maybe...

Plus those 2 r on the cover of A Beautiful Sunset. Maybe they get closer next month.

[CowboyGuy]

Seems to me like Buffy has been pretty much holed up at the castle with Xander, Dawn and her Slayers. Primarily Leah, Satsu and Rowena.

After knowing that they robbed the bank together, as well as gone on many other missions together I'll bet that Buffy feels a sister-ly bond with the other Slayers. It could be Satsu.

It could be the reason the gang travels to Toyko.

I think Riley is Twilight. The body build is the same, and Riley was never a big fan of the magicks, or the demons. Although he did once love Buffy. I'm sure that after finding her in the act with Spike, that must have done something...

[buffysmglover]

Hah! You think Twilight is Riley! Hah!

You'll end up being right and I'll feel bad for laughing. Hehehe

[emarie]

I want to say Giles but Xander seems a little too "safe."

[dane5by5]

I feel it could be Giles. He's been keeping things from Buffy. Although he already betrayed her (in my opinion) in "Lies My Parents Told Me". I'm not sure if he'd do it again.

I think the "most unexpected" would be Dawn. Or now Willow because she has reassured Buffy that she wouldn't betray her.

[Melissa]

I can't believe Xander has the most votes so far! Nobody is ever on his side. #1 Xander fan for 11 years now!
I can't vote because I have no frakking idea who will betray her. They have all turned their backs on Buffy before.
I don't want it to be one of the main three Giles, Willow or Xander. That would just crush me. But for the biggest shock and impact I guess it would have to be.
