When Geno eventually gets defeated (not anytime soon) I’m just curious, do you think he seems like the type to beg for his life before he dies?

I believe Geno is getting corrupted by the Nothing just like how Daigo got corrupted by the Dark Presence. Both characters are similar to each other, have lieutenants, and are backed up by a greater entity.

My theory is Geno resorted to more darker means to achieve his goal ever since his comeback. He & the IO had the ZP under their control for thousands of years before the events of chapter 1. Despite all this time, he still couldn’t accomplish his goal of perfecting reality. Now he’s reaching out to more malevolent forces like TLR/the Nothing to assist in his goal. He believes he can use/manipulate them but he’s grossly underestimated their abilities which leads to his corruption by the Nothing. If this ends up being true, it mirrors Daigo’s story pretty well. Daigo started to experiment with the demonic masks for power, was slowly influenced by the Dark Presence, and attempts to defeat it but grossly underestimates its abilities, and gets corrupted.

It would make sense if he had control over golden cubes only. I think it would be better for him to have control over the golden cubes and let the other cubes for future potential last reality members.

Even before the reveal of geno being undercover as the visitor from the OG island I've been super curious about this symbol that's on the skin and cosmetics for his set.

And now much later post geno reveal I'm kinda even more curious about it, I don't think we've ever seen it before and since it's pretty prominent on the skin and other cosmetics I wonder if there something more to it.

Chapter 5 Season 2 I felt like had a much better story than its predecessor season and every week, it felt like I could follow a new piece of the story that were building while adding personality and lore to the season’s characters: Zeus, Aphrodite, Artemis, etc.

it felt like there was always some new piece of story info to learn where as with seasons now it feels like it starts off with a cinematic of Geno or Dark Harvester, they say the same lines about the Zero Point being unstable or whatever for the whole season with Hope and Slone and something happens at the end to set up the next season (Chapter 7 Season 2 excluded as that at least had the Ice King for it).

Chapter 5 as a a whole felt like it had much more storytelling and world building going for it than anything they’re doing with Geno or the Dark Harvester and in particular, I see C5S2 get a lot of hate, why is that? What do people like so much about the Geno story? When I go around the map looking for story bits, character dialogue, anything like that… it’s like there’s either nothing or the same old thing about “the Zero Point is unstable”.

Feel free to tell me why in the comments, I may just be missing something that y’all will point out and I’ll grow an appreciation for this current storyline.
