I think that if Spoke becomes a villain after all this, it'll be really poor writing.

One of the leading metaphors in uu is the repeating of cycles and the needing to learn from the past to never repeat it, and I want Spoke to get to that ledge, to be so close to becoming what everyone has feared he would, and say no. He's not Ashswag, he's not like JamatoP, and he's better than the worst assumptions people have made about him. Spoke actively choosing to care, even with everything that he was just put through.

Not sure if anybody mentioned or noticed this before, the most interesting part that fascinates me about Spoke’s character is his arrogance against his opponents and refusing to be at peace with the server. Even when himself and the people around him are at risk.

For example, when Spoke met Jamato for the first time in forever at the farlands, Spoke had a choice: either escape from Leo and venture into the farlands or continue fighting Leo and kill him. In the end, he realizes what Jamato, Mappic, and Zam were planning to do. Due to this, he tries to kill Jamato and FRAMES IT as Leo attacking and killing Jamato, in order to convince Mappic and Zam to join Spoke in his goals to kill Leo.

After a while, when Spoke ends up in the farlands maze after his argument with Mappic in the cave, he suddenly stumbled upon an exit. I almost didn’t notice it the first time I saw the staircase, but it reminds A LOT of the farlands. The white marble-like walls, the flowers and the grass, and the STAIRCASE resembling the ones in the lighthouse are way too prominent to ignore.

The exit symbolizes freedom, because Jamato gave Spoke a chance to escape from his problems and explore the world with Jamato and Mappic (and Zam), However, even after everything, he does not climb the staircase. Instead, he goes back into the maze and tries to reason with Mappic, but upon doing so, Mappic attacks Spoke because Mappic finally knew about Spoke’s assassination attempt of Jamato at the lighthouse. Thus, it resulted in them both getting captured.

Another thing to mention, in the newest spoke video near the end, Jamato told Spoke he had to return to the main server because keeping him in Purgatory would destabilize the prison’s system (because he takes advantage of it). Now, if you weren’t aware of Spoke’s mentality, you would assume he would follow through with Jamato’s orders and go back to the main server. Yet, behind Jamato’s back, he throws another pearl in order to stay in Purgatory (more specifically, the hunger games), so he can resume his plan of killing Jamato.
