I really dont like Delta but valid opinion reblogging to add some ztd positivity on people’s dashes I don’t like it but we all clown on it way too much
This post is cool I’ve never thought of him that way??? The exclusive way me and my friends discuss him is motives are complex silly stupid old man but yeah you’re right
I wish I had the strength to actually seriously analyze ztd you are much stronger than me
delta is such a good villain because he's simultaneously the origin and the culmination of the entire story of the zero escape series. even if he wasn't planned during 999 he's still central to it. he IS what hongou wanted - what he created the first nonary game to produce. he can access the morphogenetic field and control people. in doing so, he can alter the entire course of human history with minimal effort. in a way, hongou was successful! because he created the nonary game, akane enacted her revenge against cradle pharmaceutical, which was essentially another arm of free the soul. because of that, she dedicated her life to preventing the radical-6 outbreak caused by free the soul with the ab project. because of the ab project, sigma met diana at d-com, and participated in the decision game with her. because sigma and diana were stranded alone in the shelter following the conclusion of the decision game, diana gave birth to phi and delta. with delta, the goal of the original nonary game finally culminated in someone who could use the morphogenetic field to control people, and control people he did.
delta is no different from akane. his motives, like hers, were complex. he needed to create a history where his life could be assured so that he could achieve his goals. his goals, however, took over 100 years to achieve. he likely had his hands in every single event that lead up to his own birth. sure, perhaps he didn't have anything to do with the sinking of the titanic at the young age of 8. maybe he did, or maybe it was just a random tragedy, just like the death of his brother, left. a probability that forever changed the course of his life. whatever the case may be, it set him on a trajectory to manipulate dashiell gordan, who in turn spurred hongou to run the nonary game. and throughout his life, random tragedies continued to happen. he set out to manipulate the course of history because he observed that there are moments when a single snail can make the whole world go extinct.
life is simply unfair, don't you think?
