There was something I was curious about but it kept slipping my mind until now. In I-No's Arcade (forgot which route), after defeating that bloodlusted version of Nagoriyuki, what did Nagoriyuki mean by I-No being 'maternal' or 'motherly'? Is he referring to her desire to bring a brighter future to everyone as a god or something?
Most likely referring to the latter in concept, though the story itself goes a roundabout way of explaining it.
The Universal Will (Ariels) warned Happy Chaos that I-No would become deeply connected to the world's origin, which was originally "cut off" from itself to prevent a paradox.
And because of that origin, she symbolically became like a "mother" to all of Mankind (hence the reason certain individuals cried when witnessing the "giant I-No phantom"). Somewhat like a nostalgic reaction to something that is familiar and close to the core of human emotions.
The only one who actually didn't cry was Ky (for reasons linked to his own paradoxical origins which I-No herself created, see Side Red/Side Black Drama CDs for details on that one).
ANYWAY... Because of I-No's link to the origin of humanity, even Vampires like Nagoriyuki could sense that origin... but that's not all there is to it:
I-No was also herself a paradox, so the conflict caused her to choose her "past self" and preserve that future instead of her own (asserting Megumi's future). That decision was "altruistic" in nature, which is what saved Nagoriyuki's life, despite I-No's darker nature.
So in that "sense" she herself was behaving "motherly" in both her power and her choices.
