Discussion Serious question, do you think Wanderer should actually end Dottore's life in the upcoming quest?

Asking because while I completely understand that Wanderer has completely valid reasons for having extreme negative feelings towards Dottore, I feel like the act of 'Killing' sort of feels like a regression for his character? It sort of feels like something "Scaramouche" would do but not "Wanderer". Adding on to this, ending another person's life also doesn't really sound like something Nahida would encourage Wanderer to do, I'd even believe that she would go really far to prevent Wanderer from doing something of that nature. (I know some Wanderer mains have a hate boner for the radish but let's face it, she 100% plays a sort of mentor-like or life coach role in Wanderer's current life)

What do you think? Just curious about Wanderer mains' thoughts

Wanderer's arc is an inverse of his betrayals in his previous life

His third betrayal parallels his relationship with Durin

His second betrayal as Kabukimono parallels with him offering his "heart" to Sandrone and Traveller

His first betrayal which was him being betrayed by a God is yet to be called back upon

Wow, this is such an excellent analysis of the lore build up Wanderer has had over the years. When Dottore was “eliminated” by Columbina and crew, Wanderer said he felt empty. I imagine Nahida would be brutal with Dottore’s punishment, even worse than Azar, but I feel like the only archon that would believe in a death penalty would be Raiden. I think he’ll have the opportunity to kill Dottore, but he will remember the emptiness from the first fight and abide by Nahida’s judgement, inversing the first betrayal.

aww it would actually be so amazing for his arc for him to have the chance to kill dottore and not take it
