* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: Had the Emperor not concocted that plan to have the Warriors of Cosmos gain the crystals and kill off Chaos as well as Cosmos while ensuring his own survival and have Chaos' faction win the standard way, the consequences in the long term would have ben far worse than how the 13th Cycle ended, if Scenario 000 in Duodecim is anything to go by.
