[TokuChris]

All my speculation on why Micchy will be the hero:

- Micchy's actor revealed he has his own song which hasn't had its debut yet but he calls it the penultimate conclusion for his character
- Sagura tells Mai that those in the "first episode battle" are the four main chosen warriors who could win the fruit - she is the one who assumes its down to Kouta and Kaito, but Micchy is still alive (and his ghost brother with him)
- There's an image floating around with Micchy's actor wearing a blonde wig in what looks like the green room
- Micchy's character has gone from being evil to realizing he was being evil to now needing redemption ... without the final piece, his character will never have the ending that every other character who has finished their main story has had.
- - Kouta, Kaito, Minato, Zack will have their character finales soon
- - Sid and Ryouma started as and died as villains, though they were not labeled as such until much later in their own stories (both died going for the golden fruit)
- - Oren went from being a douchebag villain on teaching the kids what real fighting is to not only helping Jonouchi become a fighter, but now fighting with the kids and believing in them
- - Jonouchi went from a bumbling coward to a bumbling hero
- - Hase went from wanting power, to losing power, to grasping for it and dying as a foreshadow to all those who want power in this show
- - Takatora went from misguided villain to redeeming hero (like how Micchy needs to), and serves as Micchy's subconscious

Just wait. MICCHY FOR HERO
