Nakago Overload
personality
Scorpio people are aggressive, intense, moody, passionate, secretive, and quick-tempered. That is so true for the case of Nakago.
Master manipulator. But of course, I like the term motivator better (is there such a word?). He can motivate anyone to do his every bidding (this is one of the reasons why I like Nakago so I think you should read this part there).
Cool. He is the definition of coolness. It seems like nothing can faze him. Even if Tamahome blasted him with his chi, he never panicked or anything like that. He is always calm and collected. He doesn't give in to his emotions. What a nice quality in a man.
 Omniscient. Some people might say that it is intelligence but I like the sound of omniscient better. It sounds more powerful and nearer to his goal. Anyway, I said that he is omniscient because he knows his opponents' next moves. He anticipates them and they always turn out to be true. How powerful is that? He is always one step ahead of his enemies. I pity the Suzaku people.
Leader. Nakago is the general of 2/3's of Kutou's military power. All his men are loyal to him (except Amiboshi who was smitten by that slut, Miaka - ooh, what do people see in her anyway?). His men are more loyal to him than to their emperor. I don't know if that is based on fear or respect but just the same, he is a true leader.
Sweet. When Soi was defeated by Miaka with the use of the sacred sword of Hotohori, instead of Soi increasing Nakago's chi through uniting, Nakago was the one who gave her his chi so that she will get better. Also, when Soi died trying to protect him, he held her body all throughout the fight. If he needs both hands while fighting, he would gently lay Soi down and when he is finished killing whoever it is, he picks up Soi's body once again. And, when the fighting was done, before he went to the world of Yui, he promised to give Soi a proper burial. What a sweetie.
 
Savior. He saved Yui from being raped. He saved Soi from a guy who was forcing her to be a sex slave (or fuck machine - or whatever you want to call it). He saved Ashitare from being humiliated by other people. He truly is a savior of people.
Humble. Just hear me out here. Although he is confident with his powers, he does, however, admits to his own weaknesses. Like with the Genbu Seishi, Hikitsu and Tomite, he admitted that even he could not defeat them. Most people would just brag about their abilities without even realizing their mistakes but Nakago is different. He admits to them. Also, he gives credit to where credit is due. Tamahome, for instance, he congratulated him for being the first to launch a successful physical attack against him. To Miaka too, he believes that she can get the shinzaho from the Genbu Seishi. If you still don't believe me, that's your problem. I just want you to have an open mind.
Winner. Some people might not agree with me here but he really is a winner. You see, even if he died in the end, he still won. Why? Because in the long run, his ultimate goal was to die. He's just so sick and tired of his life, he just wants to die. Revenge, he already got that by killing the Emperor of Kutou. As for wanting to be a god, he wanted to so that all of the people would suffer just as he suffered. But that wasn't really him. He said that because he wasn't sure of what he wants. That was his repressed feelings talking. His true intention was to die afterwards. Everyone that mattered to him are gone anyway and he already had his revenge. In the end, he was the winner.
Evil. He's not evil. Just misunderstood. To explain, I just improved an entry in Reasons To Like Nakago: Nakago isn't exactly evil because in his eyes, he's doing the right thing. For him, the end justifies the means. Some people were thwarting his means towards his ends. It's not exactly evil to take what you want. It's all their fault for being in his way. Sure, he did things a little too far but I'm sure you'd fight for your principles.
