Nothing about the way they talk about his condition in the show has actively shot down that idea so far (if anything it's leaning towards it) and the longer the show goes on the less and less likely it looks for it to have such a major change in the protagonist's whole concept late in the game.

And if they did I still maintain that saying any part of Emu isn't Emu would essentially be throwing his character in the trash just for the sake of a shock value twist. Which also kind of sounds like something this show would do, but I like to think its writing has grown past that.

Maybe Chronos is some sort of Odin deal? A super powerful lackey Parad sicks on people he wants beat up rather than an actual character? Possibly made from data about Ex-Aid (and/or Genm), hence the outfit and pose? Or something?

I just hope it's pretty much anything other than M. That's an idea I've never been behind and the show would have to do something REALLY interesting with the execution to convince me otherwise.

Emu and M could still be separate beings without taking away from Emu's character because for all we know the Bugster inside, he could just be taking on some of his personality traits and exaggerating them since it might not of had a personality of its own. We know the Bugsters get the personalities and powers from game characters that they are based on but M wasn't based on a complete game so it could stand to reason that M might need to fill in the blanks with Emu's personality traits so to make itself a "whole". Granted a lot of this is fanwankery based on conjecture so who knows. I just wanted to point out that there is a way for Emu and M to be separate beings without taking away from Emu's character though I do understand your worries.
