Nikolai was the only one with a soul, and therefore could be the only one to do what was needed to get them out of the horrible time loop upon different reality’s. Don’t you ever slander my boy Nikolai again, when he was the ONLY one who had the balls to do what was needed.
sure, I love Richthofen, but he kept on trying to find ways to cheat death, and therefore caused more suffering. Richthofen was out for his own wants and needs, not caring if he tore the universe apart if he had to,
oh? You think DEMPSEY, the one with the actual lowest IQ of them all *its stated in cannon* would be a good fit? When Richthofen did all those wacky tests on him, he got all fucked up in the head, and therefore is now incredibly stupid. He’d probably forget the book somewhere, maybe even accidentally destroy it.
The only thing I agree with you on is takeo. Kinda. Because, takeo is also out for his own needs, seeing as how he learned about his emperor being a dick. He started “fending for himself” per se. And plus, I don’t think he’d have the heart to let everyone else have one last good night together, drinking, playing songs, swapping stories, and ultimately getting closer, LIKE NIKOLAI DID-
Nikolai knew what had to be done, and he did it. He even made sure Samantha finished him, so he wouldn’t chicken out of doing it himself.
he thought of everyone else even as he had to kill them, making sure they all had fond memories of eachother before they died.
Nikolai was the perfect choice, and If anyone disagrees?
Die mad
argue with the wall.
because sure, your opinions matter and all, but your opinions are also wrong.
thank you for coming to my tedtalk
