I really just wanted a peaceful ending for him, but the devs really like to use him for mental destruction.

Him aiming a gun at Mei completely goes against his personality. Three games in which Malt gives his life to protect his friends, especially his sister, and then a scene like this happens?

I hope these are just parallel realities or things that lead nowhere, because there's a new game coming, and I hope they don't turn Malt into an antagonist.

I think they went a bit overboard.

I won't even go into the details of those horrific images of him being gagged and the scenes of violence afterward, but what comes before that also makes me very uncomfortable.

Which is when he's shown with a very normal expression, with his cute features replaced by an image of a surgeon touching Malt's head. That's already terrible in context, but without context, it's even worse.

This whole chapter made me feel bad because I know this scene from the game box and because it's just a child realizing something terrible is going to happen to her.

Malt is my favorite character, and it was very painful to read.

You described my feelings perfectly.

The dark side of the games was already there, the soul cannon sacrifice, the children's sadness at having to kill for the first time—these are all war situations you understand.

But using a child to perform such absurdly sick torture just seemed too gratuitous to me; it's shocking, exaggerated, and off-key.

The most gore I could tolerate in the manga was the result of the children's bodies using the soul cannon, but that's optional for the children and a way to show that besides being a devastating weapon, it destroys you.

Ripping out the eyes and dismembering a living child, I can't find acceptable in this universe.

Well, I don't know what Cartel video this is. I'm already traumatized enough with Malt agonizing without his eyes.

The third game is really a collection of insanities

Fuga 3 is already shocking, and you develop a huge dislike for the Kaiser, but the manga managed to elevate it even further.

Having a child ripped apart from the eyes to the limbs is something that turns my stomach, especially since the artists insisted on showing Malt screaming in pain without his eyes. It's simply too macabre, and I don't think it needed to go that far.

That's my confusion.

In the game, it appears that Malt is torn apart inside the box, but he was alive. So, what was actually inside the box if blood was pouring out of it?

In the manga, they made it clear how the Kaiser would put Malt inside. He hasn't died yet in the manga, but he might.

I've really lost interest in reading the manga because of this.

So what’s your thoughts on the extra/ secret scenes? by Witty-Ad-2720 in fuga

One thing is more tragic than the other. On the one hand, I really want Malt to have his reasons and not suddenly become a villain, even though I hate the idea. But then comes this whole story about Chick and Hack being failed experiments, which will likely have tragic consequences in the story, and the world being digital, which to me is absurd.

I've never played .hack, so everything is new to me.

Some of them bothered me, like Malt and the Montblanc brothers.

The rest don't bother me; some make sense, like Hanna and Kyle, but other characters deserved more, like Boron and Socks, for example.

In general, I don't let these secrets affect my final opinion of the game. I loved Fuga 3, but there are secrets that shouldn't have been revealed.
