So, while Muro is best viewed as an embodiment of Mai's violent side, he's a bit more than that, technically. | |||

It has been pointed out that Mutant Muro might be, at least in part, a hallucination brought about by [[Mai]]'s cold-blooded murder of [[Griffin]]. | It has been pointed out that Mutant Muro might be, at least in part, a hallucination brought about by [[Mai]]'s cold-blooded murder of [[Griffin]]. | ||

#The "wrong" choice alienates Mai deeply, but is that alienation irreversible? Does Mai redeem herself by defeating Mutant Muro (sort of like for Mukade), or is it too late for her to be "saved"? Is she condemned to be haunted by real and unreal violence forever? In her dreams, perhaps? | #The "wrong" choice alienates Mai deeply, but is that alienation irreversible?

An alternative logical explanation would suggest that timing may have played a part in the formation of mutant Muro rather than his traditional form. | An alternative logical explanation would suggest that timing may have played a part in the formation of mutant Muro rather than his traditional form. | ||
In the sense of timing, Mai had a greater period of time collecting the information, because Griffin was killed and otherwise would have provided some assistance in getting Mai to her drop zone in the Syndicate Base, having an estimate already of the location of the base from the tracking of Muro's aircraft. Griffin would also have been bringing his own strike force to assist Mai on the rooftop, as the alternate final battle in which Griffin was spared does show this.

Muro may very well have literally have transformed, as elements of his transformation are shown in the cases of [[Mukade]] and [[Barabas]]. Barabas possessing the horned head and significantly tall stature, while Mukade demonstrated lightning-fast strikes and seemingly red aura of energy about him. Muro, however, evolved in this "extra time" to greater power that easily combined the two aforementioned attributes, supposedly demonstrating the "ultimate state" in evolution from the Daodan Chrysalis. | Muro may very well have literally have transformed, as elements of his transformation are shown in the cases of [[Mukade]] and [[Barabas]].
