>>48383688>He wants a world without "spirit" but spirit doesn't fucking mean anything.The implication, especially with how Cyrus carries himself, is that Cyrus is referring to emotions. He feels that emotions, such as anger, hate, sadness etc, lead to conflict and make the world a worse place, so he wants to create a new world without any emotions.
>You mean like Cuckrus who's crying about conflict and spirit constantly while being the only one who creates it?Anon, Cyrus is arguably the only one in the Sinnoh region causing it on a massive scale, but acting passionately against something is arguably acting with emotion or spirit.
Just look at some of the villain teams, like Team Plasma. Hell, LYSANDRE is causing conflict due to his spirit; Namely, his desire to not let the world's beauty fade via time or the lower class whom he feel is wasting its resources.
>No it isn't. Both involve Lysandre wanting to commit a genocide to preserve beauty and prevent conflict.But X creates a disconnect compared to the Y version. Lysandre's line to Diantha in Y
>I would end the world in an instant so that beauty never fades.Makes more sense compared to X:
> I would make this world unchanging and eternal so all beauty will last forever.Lysandre also implies that the weapon will grant immortality due to using Xerneas, as shown by his last words in X
>Let us live forever... That's right! I shall grant you eternal life! I'll give you the pain of endlessly waiting for a beautiful world to finally be built!Compared to Y:
>The ultimate weapon is a flower that bloomed to no avail... Just like me... But this ends here! I will show what its remaining power can do!It feels like they created this plotline with more focus on Lysandre's implied misanthropy towards the lower class, which would make more sense in Y's plotline.
