This is one of the few instances, I can actually agree somewhat with the Central Government, since Cinderella got corrupted, even though she has never been outside or even come close to a Rapture, who's to say the rest couldn't be corrupted too, especially since we still don't know how Cinderella got corrupted
My guesting answer: Nanomachines They are so small that a person cannot see them. The Rapture's Nanomachine corruptors are Airborne *(Just like C^VID-19 and any other plagues in history)*
Abe and Little Mermaid might be the reason why the Goddess Squad was banned from the Ark. From the Central Government POV, Cinderella was suddenly corrupted and murderous. The first Nikke to do so. So they had to check other Nikkes. But Abe arose further suspicion by sudden appearance of Hansel and Gretel. And yet they were proven to be uncooperative with the authority. Little Mermaid restrained the soldiers, Abe knocked them out, and hell, Gretel suggested killing them. These soldiers would notice the higher up about this incident. The conclusion would be that Nikkes were compromised. The CG would want to check the goddesses out, but given that every member of that squad was an one-woman-army and Anachiro was a nightmare at that time, did they want to risk the survival of humanity to find out??? Such tragedy...
I believe there were more instances of NIKKEs becoming corrupt before Cindy. Red Shoes mentioned this previously. It’s sad, but the actions of Abe, the Little Mermaid, and Cinderella may have contributed to the severe discrimination against NIKKEs in the Ark. Remember the scene on the map where a pile of government soldiers' corpses was shown? They said they trusted Cinderella as their goddess of victory, but she betrayed them.
You can hate him because overzone arc but remember he already told that HE IS ONLY FIELD OFFICER WHO FOLLOW TOP BRASS. In the red ash event you can see how he respect goddess squad (Red Hood scene). Its bit disappointed that liliweis choose Dorothy because she is the one only member that can fill her role little bit.
Never hated him. He’s a military officer, after all. He got his orders. And, ironically, Abe’s actions here might’ve contributed to the c. gov. decision to not let The Goddess into the arc.
What makes it more ironic is that Dorothy wanted Pinne to go the Ark the most. Abe/Grave who looks similar to Pinne to the point that there were fan theories that speculated they were the same person, probably ended up leading the Central Government to make the decision to deny entry for the Goddess members.
I don't think being a military officer is a good scapegoat. Both Anderson and Commander are both military officers, but are able to make decisions that are just when the systems above are clearly working on their own agenda. Being a good soldier doesn't make him a good person. One way or another he chose that path. Besides, even if Abe's choice here pushed them to not let the Goddess squad in the Ark it ain't really her fault either. From the start the dude probably already had a crap ton of mistrust for them the second Cinderella went haywire. From there he probably just wanted an excuse.
@ 1) They’re not actively sabotage the orders they receive with their actions, at least not to the eye of others. Remember, they do their stuff either during private talks (room or messages) or outside of Ark’s jurisdiction, there it would be impossible to prove their disobedience. Not in front of a whole platoon. 2) Sure. But still, he’s one person during a literal world end. It’s one of these things that are hard to comprehend if you haven’t served in military, law enforcement, or have a relative/friend who did.
it's understandable tho, they literally almost had a mental breakdown about cinderella's corruption, and now tell them that they are being viewed as traitors for basically no reason at all by the people they wanted to help
Oswald is just a man doing his job, protecting humanity. Why he didn’t let Goddess into the Ark is still a mystery. Something we may need to wait until the 3rd anniversary to see. The fact remains, the CG had no idea what caused Cinderella’s corruption despite never even setting foot outside her chambers. It is very reasonable to ask questions on how this happened and do everything to make sure another Anachiro doesn’t happen.
My little guesing is that the reason why the central government is no longer making Grimms-model level Nikkes is that not because they are expensive but rather because that Raptures will make them a high priority corruption target *(Aka, Cinderella's corruption gave them a HUGE leasson, a traumatizing lesson)* so my guess is that Central government is no longer taking that risk. They decide to start focusing on making Nikkes to be overall "balanced". *(Strong enough to decently take down a horde of raptures yet not strong enough for the raptures to make them worthy target of corruption and Heretic-fication.)* Just look at Chatterbox. He tried to corrupt Laplace, Drake and Maxwell.
@@melsuppatlol4565Point still stands. They are the strongest of Missilis but they can still be brought down. Cinderella is so powerful that you could make an argument that she is the strongest Nikke developed and it took the Goddess Squad to even just incapacitate her.
@@misora25chan Don't forget that the bastard tried to corrupt Marian even at the end of his life! I know he isn't dead, but at that time, he was very close. Still, he chose to prioritize corrupting Marian over saving himself.
I mean , over all they had the right to actually think that there was a spy among them since Cinderella was never deployed and somehow got herself corrupted. Over all they were afraid of losing their life in the end and somehow it would have been a common reaction especially after seeing those hostile soldier in front of them.
The fact I'm agreeing with him shows how suspicious and traitorous Abe is acting here, like sure I saw the leaks Red Shoes the traitor somehow even though she never left just like Cinderella and got her ass handed her to her multiple times, but Abe is clearly written here to be the traitor and it makes way more sense she manipulated or lied to every single person in this cutscene and shows no apathy no remorse no human decency she only cares about getting her masterpieces up and running/back Im reminded of the DBZA quote "great look at what you made me do, I'm agreeing with HIM!"
Im around 80% sure that Abe didnt contact the CG cuz it was Her Masterpiece thats pretty much going haywire on Humanity and i think her not mentioning it might has propelled more deaths cuz its close to impossible for non-nikkes to even leave a scratch on her. 2nd point is prob she was working rlly hard for 2 months and knew CG will try to get rid of the 2nd gen grimms models and thus cut comms. But then again the most strangest thing for Red Shoes's great mind...why did she think communicating with CG was a good idea is frankly a bit odd.
Oswald... The time when the Central Government was 10% competent and actually make logical decisions ( I bet he proposed using the "experimental" suppression bullets as an excuse to let them live since the higher up initially planned on using live ones) (just my theory)
I haven't came across him yet, but he is somewhere in Lawful Neutral base of from this interaction. He simply following the order regardless of what they had when through, his prioritize is to serve and protect humanity.
personally, i dont hate oswald, if anything i pity the guy, as he essentialy keeps getting the short end of the stick jobs, 2 months after 1 of the 2nd gen grim models went full corruption despite no contact whatsover with raptures or the battlefield, and suddenly a message from the others of the same batch? lets send in Oswald to retrieve them. if anything here id say he was the one who was the most forthcoming, he didnt lie about how the newly formed central government saw them, and he also told them what was gonna happen in order to prove their innocence, the only reason they even shot was to show that they were capable of stopping them non lethal. only for abe to not be cooperative for some reason, wich is shown in that hansel and gretel were not reported to exist, and red shoes somehow being aware of a still in development research called brainscan, Oswald even asks her for proof on where she saw those probably documents, probably hinting that its very recently made tech. hansel and gretel il give a pass cause they dont really seem interested in the cloak and dagger game, and it seems they also werent aware of abe her lack of reporting, siren also gets a pass cause poor girl has to be mostly focused on not speaking else she activates her 'voice', and her jaw is stil not fully healed.
I can't say that I like him, but I personally don't think he's evil. Most of the circumstances were beyond his control, and I believe he tried to be as reasonable as possible given his limited authority. You can't realistically expect him to suddenly act like a "giga chad" and abandon everything to go against central command just for someone else, like the Commander did for Marian. Particularly since I don't think he had anyone like Anderson to support him if things went wrong. So, while I don't like him, I don't consider him a bad guy either; he's just doing his job. by the way GJ on your videos as always
This scene if anything just seemed to point something very wrong with Red Shoes. Clearly the high mortality rate and the whole 'surgery for brain scan' are nothing but lies meant to corner Abe and the team into thinking their only way out was escaping. And she was part of that shady VTC religion before getting turned into a Nikke. With all her memories, no less. And the sad thing is, I don't even think she's corrupted herself. Either she corrupted Cinderella because of orders given from above or that's how her organization rolls. Worst case scenario, they deliberately made the mission fail in order not to let mankind see Nikkes as saviors instead of whatever the hell they believe in. Which would also explain why the Central Govednment turned on Dorothy and the remnants of the Goddess squad later on.
I wouldn't be surprised if raptures were made by the VTC as a means of recreating the world in their image. They possibly lost control somewhere down the line and helped to create nikkes to regain control of the raptures. It's just a theory ofcourse, but it is also strange how compatible nikkes and raptures are.
There's no reason to hate Oswald at all. I can understand if there's hate towards Oswald if you just watched Overzone, but as you read through more of the lore, Oswald is just a common soldier under the Central Government, just like how the playable Commander once was in the early game: a solider with no power. Any hate should be directed towards the Central Government. But even then, they're just doing what's best for humanity at that time.
I don't think Oswald is a bad guy but something about him is definitely off. Also i feel like he is way more important than what the game makes it looks like.
We don't hate him Oswald is just doing his job....he's a great man, a special man, a great man, a special man, a great man, a special man, a great man, a special man Now can you tell me what kind of *M A N* Oswald is?

Okay, i may read way too much into it, and it may be a bit weird; But Chatterbox.

Oswald's shares the same traits as Chatter, if only to a lesser extend, he even goes against his higher ups, feeling sorry for what he had to do, in a way hating humanity.
