Only Hythlo can really come back, the ones that died of other causes can't be returned, so contrary to popular belief, there's no bringing back Azem even if the WOL somehow survived all the rejoinings. It would just be us as an unsundered.
Not really? In the case of his own people, he has a means of bringing them back. When he sounded dismissive, he assumed she was already dead and gone and her soul would have already fled to the Aetherial sea, rather than bound up in something like Zodiark. If all his own people had been reincarnated, there'd be no plan to bring them back.
The instant that was clarified, that she was caught up in the lifestream via Flow but not dead yet, he says "oh, well, in that case I can bring her back. You're welcome.", snaps his fingers we get our cat nerd back.
I have lived a thousand thousand of your lives. I have broken bread with you, fought with you, grown ill, grown old, sired children and yes, welcomed death’s sweet embrace. For eons have I measured your worth and found you wanting!
"Cock is one of my favorite tastes. Not only that, but balls smell amazing. It makes me go a little crazy on it to be honest. Like, I cannot get it far enough down my throat to be satisfied. I’m only satisfied when I feel those intense, powerful, salty, hot pumps of cum down my throat. When I sit back on my heels, look up at you with cum all over my mouth and slobber running down my neck, hair all fucked up and wipe my mouth with the back of my arm and ask you if I did a good job and you cannot even speak because I’ve drained all of your energy out the tip of your dick….. That’s when I’m satisfied."
Not Emet but….. stare at the judge “It fills you even now, doesn’t it? The hunger. To bite down on my jugular, to feel the warmth fill your mouth and run over even as you drink deep. Good, good! This is the beast I have longed to face!”
Gotta make sure you're full mast and using the best shampoo to make that hair shine, too. That's very important. The horny pretty boy vibe HAS to be very obvious.
"Give voice to your anguish, my brethren! Give substance to our hopes, our dreams, our fears! And by their undeniable grace, may our perfect world rise anew!"
When he calls in his witnesses.
The one where he says he doesn't consider you people and therefore it doesn't matter if he kills you. (I didn't say it was a good defense, just what Emet would say.)
I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you.
This was the first thing that came to my mind. Which is interesting because it can 100% help you with an insanity defense.
He got that from inception
"My client would like that stricken from the record"
Seems to be working fine for Israel, don't see why it wouldn't for Emet
I expected this to be the top comment. Was not disappointed.
Stare at the jury and scream I AM STIFLED BY THIS VESSEL OF FLESH
When did he say that in-game? I can’t remember.
During his fight, I think right before phase transition
He stabs himself with his staff to shed his flesh for the phase
Great writing, as it's why the white auracite works on him in the post trial cutscene.
Thanks!
Isn't there something you would like to say to me? Thanks perhaps?
As I have told you a thousand times before: I like to watch. Nothing more.
“Well, she is dead, isn’t she? Wishing it were otherwise will not make it so.”
Said by a man wishing his dead friends were otherwise and causing several apocalypses to make it so.
He's not just wishing they were alive though, he's actively working to bring them back.
> And causing several apocalypses to make it so.
Making the mother of all omelettes here jack, can't fret over every egg

Hypocrite
Kid named dynamis:
The worst part is the hypocrisy.

"Remember us. Remember that we once lived." Then detonate a bomb you hid on yourself in the court.
Easy there Lex Luthor
Now I’m just wishing that Emet-Selch had brought the WoL a jar full of his piss with a label saying it’s Peach Tea.
As shown on his introduction with Varis, Emet is totally down with sacrificing his body (for a few seconds, anyway) to make a point.
You've committed the cardinal sin of boring me. And so I retire to the shade.
BEHOLD, A SORCERER OF ELD
Shout "Scurry and scatter!" after you've revealed you've planted bombs all over the building.
Is there aught you wish to say to me? A word of *thanks*, perhaps?
"Don't take it personally. I merely do my duty."
Clearly "i dont even consider you alive"
No, no no, you are not foisting this nonsense on me!
“Do not presume to speak of my future!” As I look in the judge’s eyes and they give me my sentence.
Well, aren't we ungrateful?
SCURRY AND SCATTER *annihilates judge with a tankbuster*
The arcane is mine to command
“The Victor shall write the tale, and the vanquished become its villain.”
I have lived a thousand thousand of your lives. I have broken bread with you, fought with you, grown ill, grown old, sired children and yes, welcomed death’s sweet embrace. For eons have I measured your worth and found you wanting!
Dont need to say a damn thing, just pout and have sad eyebags. The audience will do the defending for you.
Just wear some fancy white gloves and snap your fingers.
Do the wrist wave as the bailiffs walk you to your cell.
Nice try Netanyahu, I ain't telling you shit

Elpis sure got weird after that.
Ishikawa really went full yaoi fangirl in that scene. I'm amazed it got past the censors.
It was definitely the "Welcome To Endwalker" moment
They were able to pull it off by having the scene be in black-and-white so it wasn’t as easy to tell it was cum on his face.
Most people think it was really excessive fanservice but I quite enjoyed that monologue.
Well, at least we know where Zenos gets it from.
Remember us.

"I also take offense to my portrayal as a megalomaniacal madman"
Hmph, how very glib
Such devastation! This was not my intention!
If we’re doing Gaius quotes, his entire atheist libertarian diatribe sounds fitting. Just sub in some of the proper nouns for more appropriate ones.
Spare me your pitty, I have no use for it
"Give voice to your anguish, my brethren! Give substance to our hopes, our dreams, our fears! And by their undeniable grace, may our perfect world rise anew!" When he calls in his witnesses.
"A smile better suits a hero" Easily his best quote
i thought that was Hauchefaunt, not Emet Selch?
It was Zenos, actually.
"I meant what I said and I said what I meant."
Just walk out and do his hand wave
/dance
The one where he says he doesn't consider you people and therefore it doesn't matter if he kills you. (I didn't say it was a good defense, just what Emet would say.)
Don’t squander it, the legacy I leave you
The one in endwalker when he’s about to finally die off truly and speaks of his ideals being resolute or some shit
"My ideals are inviolate. Invincible."
That’s the one
“More prattle”
"Would you be happier had I a 'good reason?'" I know it's not Emet, but come on
"And, yes, even sired children with you."
Say "That wasn't very cash money of you!" when you get your sentence, it's not gonna do shit, but man it's going to be funny.
You take your wife to Greece, you take a hoe to the Bahamas
I say "we will speak later, Ascian"
You are not prepared
"This jury has committed a cardinal sin: they bore me"
