canto 8 ending prediction

[G-sai]

"From today on, I will live proudly as Hong Lu" ---> tearful mill song in the credits

I seriously hope it doesn't happen, the plot is already becoming too predictable.

It's predictable in that the generic possible outcomes are either positive character development, negative character development, or no character development for the main sinner of a canto. Same goes for the rest of the sinners as well.

Mili songs for bosses have become a pattern since Ruina, and Pass On variations became a pattern since Limbus' release

I think most of us have no clue on the whats, whys and hows of it all though, so I just focus my enjoyment on that instead of the ending.

We already have precedent for none or even backwards character development in the form of Rodya, so it would be reasonable to say that anything (that doesn't involve our Sinners dying permanently) can happen, including a Sinner entirely failing to properly confront whatever is tormenting them, and being forced to limp on while still carrying leftover resentment. What I would like to see personally is at least one or maybe two more cantos where the Sinner in question actually unambiguously fails similarly to how Rodya did, and perhaps one canto where the Sinner actually gets an unambiguously happy ending instead of the bittersweet and hellish endings which almost everyone has gotten so far (unless the contract the Sinners signed was just too cursed for this to be possible). As long as something like this happens and not every single ending follows the script of ''extremely, extremely bittersweet, but ultimately uplifting in the form of overcoming extreme adversity'', then I will be satisfied.

"Hey what you doin' there bro? That's a might long pole arm you got there!" More seriously, I hope our little fan companion lives through the next canto.

What I expect will happen, based on the LCE event, is we'll end up in a situation where Hong Lu's mask of civility cracks finally. They made a point of having him talk a little weirdly about rage and planted him the cell with Sinclair. This was also the same season we got his fang hunt ID, which showed us just how cold and angry his character could get in the right situation.

My only thing will be whether it'll be good or bad for him. I can't tell what actually allowing rage to take hold will do to him and his character. Would be interesting if he just got more distant for a while after something happens during the canto.

Unlikely.

There is no ending for inferno, only eternal lament.
This means that they are living an eternal loop in hell and none of them will get a good ending.

Regular check-up made it clear that they are nothing but sinners and scum. They're probably only using their suffering for powering the Golden Boughs and then they will be discarded at some point.

I mean there is that theory about sinners with metal tags aren't using their real names, so that could happen, although I'm still waiting for one of the sinner cantos ending with "LCB means family" or something similar
