This special episode was so fun and I was laughing at the ages and order of the brothers but then it started clicking.
What if this is the actual order or the Mugos in the main story, we just call Elder Mugo "Elder" because of his vibe and mental age, but in cases where there are multiple personalities in one body, the newest and most recent personality could be the oldest theoretically (they manifested a child personality first then an old person personality as the newest) so what if monster Mugo is actually the oldest personality, born out of the basest and most primal instinct of "Hunger" when, going by the bits and pieces of info we're given, he was stuck in a jar with other snakes/beings that he had to fight and consume to survive.
What if the reason we think 'Elder' Mugo is the elder because he seems to know more than jerk Mugo and monster Mugo, but maybe it's just that 'Elder' Mugo is a Mugo that the family curated to be able to bargain and ask for favours from, since he's the most reasonable. He might be the most recent of them, but he knows more because the family constantly brings him forth using sweets and incense and he has to witness all their sacrifices and filth and wishes, so he knows more about the current world and era than the other Mugos. That's why he's more in touch with modernity than the other 2.
Food for the brain.
I think too, the order of appearance of the personalities is their age. The sex maniac is the original, and he is the oldest.... and the eldest, although he is the youngest, because he is close to God, as he understood everthing... has a experience and knowledge.
No this is real
Okay, not to say this is ooc or anything. It's not.
I just... I truly dislike this arc, so so much. My main reason for hating amnesia arcs is because the one forgetting is usually very hurtful and mean and ends up hurting the person they're with. What happens when their memory is back? When the one remembers everything and returns to normal, their partner is now left with a permanent scar of what happened and how they were treated.
If amnesia arcs happen early on before an established relationship (especially a very long and deep one) it's more understandable and tolerable, and even if not that early on if it's handled well it can be presented nicely and with a purpose, but whatever the fuck is happening here is just a mess. The whole point of this manhwa and Owen's journey is to get over his imminent and crippling fear of Nux dying because of all the cycles he went through with him, and to learn to live freely and be happy with Nux now, knowing how to give him his own freedom while still being by Owen's side. He even started to be less jealous than before. Everything was going smoothly only for the author to ruin it and push us 100 steps back or even way lower than the beginning with this arc because now all the confidence Owen had is gone, he has worse ptsd, he cannot live freely or peacefully knowing regardless of what they achieve now he can lose it all in a second if Nux changed, and he's now left with a permanent wider and worse scar of it all. Idk how the author expects us to believe everything will get back to normal for Owen after this when Nux's memories are back.
Realistically speaking, I'd imagine and not blame Owen for losing his fucking sanity even more, and avoiding intimacy and touching or being near Nux after this when his memory returns. He'd be too terrified. There's no coming back from this actually. This arc is useless, and it does more harm than being useless too. Gosh how I despise it.
