Did Muro plan | Did Muro plan to eliminate everyone alive who did not already have a Chrysalis (that is, as far as we know, everyone but Mai and himself)? If so, why would any "normal" support this plan? It's possible that Muro misled them; he could have used the same notion that Konoko had, that he would be selling Chrysalises to the public, thus making the Syndicate rich and super-powerful. (He would no doubt promise free Chrysalises to those who served under him.) Wouldn't they have demanded the Chrysalises before his sabotage of the ACCs went into effect? Since the plan was triggered prematurely, we will never know how that would have turned out. | ||
But if Muro left some humans alive, by some means (the most obvious of which would be implanting a Chrysalis in them), he might gain complete power over the new civilization that resulted. Might he have had some plan to make their Chrysalises dependent on him, thus making him a world ruler? | |||
Despite speculation, his own words make it likely that he viewed humanity as an inferior species, a la [[Knives]] of Trigun, and simply wanted them gone. |
