Nikei doesn't just care about the process, but also the results; everything is meaningless if he doesn't succeed, but the process is enjoyable too. Compare this with Mikado, who only cares about results. Nikei doesn't think he can reach the top, so he pulls others down.

Was Nikeis blessing authority, or power? Not purely power, in which case he'd be a politician. But he says it's more accurate to say power than authority, but... ultimately, Linuj goes back and forth, and says it's up to interpretation. This is really interesting I wish I wasn't just synopsizing this, please go look!

All members of Void are adults! "Barely in their twenties", which also gives us placement for KF trio. Note that Nikei made a name for himself in high school, but is an adult now.

Nikei's works aren't very credible, but they're really sensational, so they still sway public opinion.

About how the loss of fortune affected Nikei; effectively, the ways he'd dragged down others hit him cumulatively?

...? About Nikei's parents. His mom wanted him to succeed, his dad went missing/had a fall from accolades due to chasing power?

Question about if he'd choose family or power, makes it sound like in side story, he wanted a happy/peaceful family life. At the time of the game, he's forgotten a lot of his family, and is blinded by power.

Nikei probably wouldn't be helped by people genuinely loving/caring about him, but things could have been different if Void had succeeded.

How would Nikei be in a relationship? He still cares about being above people, so it's not a good idea.

He isn't bothered by people who excel at a specific skill (example given, Hajime being stronger), so long as he's still above them in some regard; ex, Hajime following his lead.

Nikei hates Mikado for taking away his power/authority.

Nikei went along with the killing game to try and find out more information about Utsuro, but was looking for a chance to betray Mikado the whole time. By Chapter 4, he had lost his mind so severely he only cared about killing Mikado.

Initially, Nikei might have been trying to get Teruya to kill Yuuki, but Linuj changed Chapter 4 so often while writing it, that he doesn't really remember.

In Chapter 4, Nikei wasn't sure who he was aiming for, but would've been fine with anyone other than Yuki or Mikado.

At the end of the last Void theater, Nikei was more resigned than acceptant. Linuj remarks that it's sad how he didn't have any other opportunity to reflect on himself.

Following Mikado was the only option the CoU had.

Nikei's note in DRA 6.5 is more a general note that could allude to his behaviors, than a reference to anything in particular.

The question references Nikei seeming gentle as a child. Linuj notes that his extroverted behavior in early SDRA2 was acting.

Nikei was created with his execution in mind.

Nikei was relatively wealthy (as were the rest of the CoU) prior to luck issues, and spent most of his money on hiring Syobai.
