I do too, really! But from a Darwinist point of view, neither he nor Rhyme, especially Rhyme, should survive.
Yes, I agree. I am not saying he IS old testament god in the most literal sense, but rather has the basic personality, compassionate yet wrathful. However, I'm going to have to take my happy medium and say it was a mix of the two, because you bring up a very good point though I still feel compelled to partially believe it was for the good of the world. I'm not saying he loves each and every person, but mankind as a whole and thus he works to see it progress. Again, I apologize for the bible references, but I view the whole game as being loosely based off of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Kitaniji plays the role of Abraham and Joshua is god. Kitaniji is given a set amount of time to find a way to save the city, just as Abraham constantly appealed to God to find ways to save both cities. However, in the biblical tale, is incapable of finding any way of seeing potential in the city and it's corrupt people, and in the end burns them both to the ground with no remorse. It is because of that story that I view Joshua to act like Old Testament god. I don't think he's all-knowing and/or all-powerful, but his actions are remnant of that figure.
Would he be so childish as to openly imply Hanekoma's identity in a post where he knows for a fact Minamimoto is listening? That is what threw me off the most. As if he did it purposely.
Anon 1 again.
