are you just going to ignore that knives was always a huge ass hypocrite in the manga? He preached about liberating plants but merged with his sisters against their will, as well as with an independent who wanted to stop him and he literally tried to do the same with vash. Don't try to woobify him, he was always a fucked up genocidal villain and you only dislike him in tristamp bc you hate that they dialed up the sexual/incestous undertones that you apparently didn't pick up on in maximum
