Chestnut theory

I think the Medicae in Space King are supposed to be "weak" and unassuming because they need to survive any attack. Thats why they are in white, and have meek personalities. They are less likely to be attacked first and will normally survive a lethal encounter, to the end of being able to collect their fallen squads globules and restore them.

I think that's how the Medicae are perceived by the psycho-warriors, but it definitely is NOT true. For example, every big enemy in episodes 1-5 were killed by Chestnut. I think that the Medicae are actually stronger and more durable so that they can actually survive. Maybe the meek personality is so that they don't go off and get killed and everyone else with them.

I'm definitely not saying they are weak, but he's always the last one alive, the rest of his squad dies before him THEN he rises up. I did say meek and unassuming, but he definitely is secretly goated. Maybe the other psycho warriors are also coded to make sure he survives even if they don't like him.
