Don’t agree with the whole memory loss thing

I don’t think Aqua and Goro are different people. Aqua was Goro, Goro became Aqua. Aqua just happened to be born with memories of his past life, but I don’t think this made him any more Goro. Just like the crow girl said: he was just a kid who was born knowing too much.

It’s a good take on reincarnation imo, and it would be crappy to see goro “die” and aqua live. We’ve spent so many chapters exploring Aquas struggle with his identity and finally come to the conclusion that he is just himself.

I think the only reason aqua ever became so obsessed with his memories is because seeing Ai die in front of him was obviously very traumatizing, so he convinced himself he was really a grown up and put all this responsibility on his shoulders when he was really just a kid. And the tragedy of it all is that some horrible persons actions ended his life before it could begin, first when Ai died, and again when Aqua dies.

    Kinda like pokemon evolving, no? Sure they're one thing now, but that's doesn't mean they don't have the experiences they had in their original form
