#I understand Mu's actions being wrong yes I got that I'm not saying she's justified

Rewatched the final boss fight just now and. MAN now that I'm not hyped in the middle of the battle and just watching it, I can actually process the dialogue, and.
Mafia Boss says something like "NO, you're the bad guy! Get lost!" to Mu and. Why is this. Why. Why. I can understand literally anyone else saying this but. Mafia Boss? Yknow the guy who? Almost directly caused all the suffering Mu went through by taking over her island? Yknow? Mafia Boss indirectly being to blame for all this even happening? Since she started doing this time shenaniganry to get rid of the Mafia? His Mafia? He. He cannot say this, here. This is not. No. What
I feel like Mu should've. Yknow like. After he fuckin dares utter that line aloud, she just obliterates him instantly. Right then and there. I'm writing a Mafia Boss redemption arc I swear but also. Mu should've shattered him in the alternate reality! Point blank! We coulda just seen scattered broken glass somewhere. And then he doesn't show up during the final battle at all. Or if he has to, just. Don't have him say that. It feels almost tone deaf coming from him. Honestly I didn't think he said anything during the final battle, as it would make some amount of sense, but. No, he. Says something stupid like that. That entirely implies he either doesn't know or doesn't care that he's at fault here, too. and then it's. Never properly touched on. No ramifications past the jar thing, which clearly taught him nothing
Why couldn't HE sacrifice himself in that moment? It could've been a character growth thing, even!! Especially since he sees his goons doing it too!! Just. "Oh hell I'm one of the primary reasons Mu is doing this right now because I did awful atrocious things! I can at least somewhat attempt to right this by helping the Kid with the Hat defeat her so maybe we Can Talk or Something when reality is restored!" and then. Yknow? ough. Why couldn't it have been him instead of Conductor n Grooves. Why couldn't he have gotten more lines there. Bites and maims and kills. I'm violent.
