Can't wait for aventurine to see what we can do next.

Why is "Strife", a calamity titan, necessary? (Mydei character analysis by @obsessedwMydei)

Imo the idea of "strife" is necessary, also exemplified by Mydei's character and arc, because it can also be "PROTECTION" and "rebellion/defiance".

One of the major themes of Mydei's arc, is that sometimes you can fight to PROTECT. Or, sometimes to protect others, you will fight - against an enemy, against the cycle of violence and pointless deaths, against fate itself. Mydei is, many times, directly framed as a protector.

Nikador, the Strife titan, was originally the protector of Amphoreus against the black tide - this is a role Mydei takes up at the end of his arc, as the Guardian of Amphoreus. At the end of 3.1, in their farewell scene, Phainon even related this to the path of Preservation.

And obviously, in cycle #337 PoleMos600/Mydei split his own soul into five just to fight and protect Amphoreus against Lygus. Mydei's arc is very much about how you can use strength to protect what is truly important, instead of causing harm and perpetuating meaningless war.

Now, onto the topic of rebellion/defiance - we all know that Mydei's design has many, many elements that defy "the norm". For example, tattoos, the way he dresses, one could argue his AU profession as a rock star as well. He also openly criticizes and challenges CK traditions.

In fact, the main conflict of his arc was about his unwillingness to yield to the "bloody fate" of his people. This defiance against destiny is also a core part of his character - also in the preset of his code: "internal world always in conflict with external environment".

Mydei refused to accept the mantra of "glorious death before valorous return". He was willing to take away the "honour" perceived by Kremnoans in dying in battle, by sending his troops away/fighting alone. Strife, is a fight - it is ALL types of conflict, and they are necessary.

Why is conflict necessary? Because there will always be injustice, there will be a "destiny" that seems too cruel, there will be "traditions" that are obsolete and immoral. Naturally, there WILL be those who fight against it. Those who go against the current and rebel and defy.

In summary, even though one side of strife is undoubtly a symbol of war, violence and discord - Mydei's character and his story arc very much focuses on how it is a symbol of protection and rebellion as well.

NOTE: This is NOT my analysis. It belongs to @obsessedwMydei.
