Discussion Saturn is one of the most well-written hypocritical frauds I've seen in a while. Spoiler
Despite proclaiming that he is a god, This guy just proves that he is a human every time he appears on screen.
He is so insecure and he needs so bad to prove that he is superior to others, even someone who is a slave like Kuma. Which is contrasted by the other gorousei who are pretty self-confident and don't need to prove anything. He fits the theme of Human contradiction so well, which is the main theme of the arc.
Everything he does gets back at him, He experimented on Ginny but ended up making a mini nika, He ordered the wiping of Kuma's personality but he was still able to protect bonney with willpower alone, and finally he allowed luffy to escape by refusing to destroy Emet.
It is ironic. in Kuma's flashback, He told him that he can't understand why humans always try to do what they are told not to do, But he ends up dying because of disobeying orders and refusing to destroy the robot. It was because of his human need to prove himself that he disobeyed orders just like the people he consider insects. It is poetic.
He is a horrible person but an amazing character. I love him so much.
RIP my fraud king.

That what i think some Gorosei might have their own agenda. They all secretly want to be or in the same osition as Imu. For me Garling seem to be a secret bose he might betray Imu.
