Volo as leaving and never comeback after failed his dream goal and He’s may continue what he’s want next, it’s currently unknown.
I'am so sad and disappointed after know he’s mastermind as made hisui trouble. I’ll gonna tell cogita about him, so…
Let’s continue next last mission: seek out all pokemon Cogita will tells to help pokedex research again after caught legendary pokemons, at something the new legendary pokemon: Forces of Nature as coming on Hisui
One of my favorite things about Volo's reveal is just how much the game builds up us having a bond with him beforehand.
He is kind to us and supports us the entire game, even initially being the only person there for us in our darkest hour, when Kamado has us exiled, and is keeping the Diamond and Pearl clans from helping us under threats of war. (And if Laventon, the rival, and Cyllene openly help us, they will suffer the same fate we do, so they can't help either.)
And while a player may have predicted he was evil prior to your meeting at the Giratina statue (I personally didn't see it coming), the player character themselves in the context of story has no real reason to distrust him beforehand. So, I could only imagine how shocking that betrayal was, to learn he was responsible for the main conflict, that he was only using us to get to Arceus, and that he was willing to murder us (and erase everyone and everything else) all with a smile on his face.
It makes him so much creepier than someone like Ghetsis, who in his person-to-person interactions with us, is clearly an asshole and not to be trusted even before he reveals the truth to N.
I can say that him being an antagonist was a possibility from the beginning, but how evil and fake he revealed himself to be was truly shocking.
I love it when we get completely feral lunatics with absolutely no redeeming qualities in Pokémon, and I hope I don't have to wait ten years until I get my next one.
excuse me sir do you have a moment to talk about enslaving our lord and saviour arceus
My headcanon is that the theory that both volo and cogita are cynthia ancestors is both true in a sense: remember, it's stated that the celestica people did not end with cogita, rather they left hisui for reasons and parts unknown. She had to stay to perform her "duty"; volo could be a descendent of these original celestica that left sinnoh and returned later on, and one of cogita or volo's distant kinsmen/cousins could have been Cynthia's ancestor, hence the resemblance.
Am I ever going to stop talking about this funky little family? Probably not, at least not in the near future eheh ;)
Pokémon Legends Arceus spoilers ahead!
Beautiful analysis
