>>56334963I highly doubt it. The mochi is canonically sweet and delicious that people eat it out of their own volition, most of the time, anyway. He definitely knows there's something up with it given that he also shoots it if sufficiently desperate, but for all he knows it's the stuff of dreams that makes others love him and listen to him and can even unlock their hidden potential. Mochi Mayhem prolly being the first time he's used it to puppeteer people directly, and even then the most wretched, evil thing he could think of is to make them do a silly dance. I don't think there's a scenario where he naturally realises the stuff is actually brainwashing poison.
