You know, at first I was kinda against Mumkhar biting it so soon after his reveal (even though it was obvious even without spoilers) because he was literally the driving force for this entire adventure. Upon reflection, I think it actually makes a lot of sense since everything has escalated and the stakes seem to be bigger. He represented a more naive and simple Shulk trying to fulfill a simple revenge quest, and now Shulk is beyond such concepts. Literally stopping Dunban from murdering him and even going so far as to try and save. It is a really good example of story growth. This is why the story is so damn good. At every point it's totally driven forward by really strong motivations for everyone, but it also continues to evolve those motivations without obsoleting the previous ones. So many JRPGs will try to escalate from "personal village" to "galactic war" and trample everything in the process, but this one always brings it back to the characters and the growth. --- _foolmo_ 2 + 2 = 4 ...
