>>192952691The "video game lives" glasses dude has already brought up some of the existential, ideological problems that come up with the whole immortality and Cosmo Entelechia thing, so for Tota to end this manga by "saving everyone" is already a failure since people have already died. For thousands of years. Thousands are dying every second. Billions are upset at some point today.
Based on what we've seen, it's most likely Tota will achieve "Negima Happy End" just without Asuna (because HE'S basically Asuna). Ialda will need to die. She can't be convinced, she's been alive since the beginning and her 1000% empathy means she experiences the feeling of everyone everywhere since forever...and that doesn't feel good. Ialda tried to save people with the whole Magicus Mundus thing, but people still acted like humans, so now it's Cosmo Entelechia or nothing. Tota either needs to agree with her and let it happen or he needs to kill her. There's nothing to convince.
By the same token, Tota isn't allowed to do "worse" than Nagi or Negi, so he can't fail in defeating Ialda (or be possessed, or let anyone be possessed). But then...why stop there? Is he allowed to stop there? He's immortal. Shouldn't he always be saving everyone, constantly? Is it excusable if he didn't know someone needed to be saved? Is it bad he isn't strong or fast or smart enough to save everyone instantly everywhere? Is he bad for not being a perfect savior...because maybe he could save MORE if he was even BETTER than before? So shouldn't he BE better?
...and why does he need to be limited to the present? Apparently time travel is possible, so why isn't he going BACK IN TIME to save people? If that's possible, isn't he BAD if he's NOT doing it? Why isn't Tota "God," making everyone, even throughout all time, instantly MAX HAPPY? Doesn't free will make people unhappy if they choose the wrong thing? Aren't humans better off without free will? Or just not existing? Or inside Cosmo Entelechia? Or or or...
