[DreadBringer]

Another villain going down.

It seems that Shoma is on better terms with Nyelv and Lango compared to Jeebh, despite the fandom generally viewing Jeebh as the less villainous, with Shoma seemingly genuinely worried about Nyelv and agreeing with Sachika thanking Lango (despite her outburst to him before) for being a help in their rescue mission. Though dunno why Shoma addresses Lango with '-niisan' suffix but not Nyelv.

Hanto's outburst is understandable, but yeah, though he talks about logic in Nyelv manipulating Shoma, he's acting based on emotion, about the grudge of Nyelv killing Soji before. Despite how him holding a grudge to him is understandable, he's the one portrayed in the wrong here to apologize after his outburst. Shoma thinks Nyelv is being honest, but yeah the better explanation would be that, villains can dislike each other, where the Stomachs don't like Bocca taking over their business.

Though Nyelv died for real, not at the Rider's hands, but at Bocca's hands, I wonder if this, and Shoma seeing Nyelv's bloodied face, would make him or Hanto realize that Nyelv isn't backstabbing them, but becoming Bocca's prisoner. I wonder what damage Nyelv would do to Bocca, if his plan to blow up his Gochizos succeeds. Nyelv seems stupid to openly reveal his plan in front of Bocca, but it seems to be done upfront to the audience so they know Nyelv is conspiring against Bocca before his demise.

Nyelv wouldn't be the final boss of this series, unlike Bishop from Kiva, and by this, it seems that Shoma wouldn't face the potential dilemma for Nyelv's plan, other than him being separated from Earth, also him likely still opposing the other Stomachs for protecting the other Granutes from them, unless the Stomachs will actually obey Shoma as the actual president. The Granute World might be better off without both the Stomachs and Bocca, with Bocca 'helping' in getting rid of the siblings.

Sachika is now the one being made happy due to Nyelv's Gochizos, not realizing that she technically gets what she wants in making everyone happy. As a full Granute, Rakia now has to use even more drastic methods to stop her and Masaru; turning them into Hitopresses. Like Nyelv, he's also caught in a bad time where Jeebh accuses Rakia of being hypocrite, without knowing the full context. This also can be used by Jeebh to frame Rakia as turning against them by kidnapping humans again as a half-truth.
