【Rambling】some stuff about Malos

[fukaimetsu]

 

I'm just doing egosa on JPs twitter and found some interesting interpretation regarding N's sword & Malos:

So basically the one who slay Na'el curse—who, having despaired over humans killing each other, was made into God's proxy—was the Sword of the End (Logos) held by N, right? And this is support Rex's answer when he said that both Pneuma AND Logos would save the world: that Malos, once Amalthus’s Blade, cut himself free from the chains of the past, became a new self, and chose to protect the world together with someone else moving forward.

This is honestly such a good interpretation omg. I feel like maybe Logos (Malos) was being “tested” in Aionios—the collective unconscious of humanity, facing the fear of the future—yet Malos still couldn’t move on from his past. After the lessons he learned in Alrest, he finally understood what his answer was and how to improve himself. He chose to ally with Noah because Noah’s view aligned with his own: that Aionios deserved to be destroyed and humanity should face an uncertain future together.

But then things changed: Noah became N, choosing instead to maintain the status quo. Then Alpha (Ontos) appeared, wanting to erase everything. Rather than fixing anything, Alpha just wanted to “dump” everything and ignore the problems, which is a big no-no. Alpha used Na’el’s hatred of soldiers and war to make her the perfect vassal for his plan. Pneuma and Logos disagreed. Pneuma’s disagreement wasn’t surprising, but Logos’s was, and it’s shown when N gives his power to slay Na’el’s core. Symbolically, that act represents Logos defying Ontos’s plan.

Maybe it’s coincidence, but what if N or Noah unconsciously agreed? Perhaps Malos believed Noah’s revolutionary side was still there, just… not the right time, or not the right version of Noah. This is also shown during the N vs. Noah showdown after the eclipse: when Noah’s Ouroboros form destroys N’s sword, it’s basically symbolic of Malos/Logos giving up on N. Malos doesn’t want to stay trapped in the “endless now” he wants to move forward.

fuck, I am crying, it just makes me excited about the possibility of Malos being in XB4....Takahashi please do not fucking disappoint me
