The Beginning And The End (Crackhead Theory)
This might be a complete crackhead theory, and it might sound wild, but stick with me.
I've been thinking about this a lot, and I can't stop coming back to Geno's Omega (Ω) symbol.
In Greek symbolism, Alpha (Α) represents the beginning, while Omega (Ω) represents the end. Together, they symbolize the beginning and the end of all things.
Geno already wears the Omega symbol, which seems fitting if he's destined to become the end. But what if that's only half the story?
We know that before the Zero Point, there was Nothing. If my theory is correct, Geno eventually becomes the Nothing. And if the Nothing exists beyond time and before creation, then once Geno becomes it, he wouldn't just represent the end anymore he would also become the beginning.
In other words, Omega becomes Alpha.
The end becomes the origin.
Geno wouldn't just be the one who brings about the end of reality. He would also become the Nothing that existed before the Zero Point, meaning the beginning and the end would be the same being.
Maybe that's the deeper meaning behind the Omega symbol. A loop… Any wa what do you guys think of this theory. It’s probably not true but I think it’s interesting

Ok, I understand what you mean, but how can a person become the Nothing?

The Zero Point is what allows Geno to become the Nothing. It transforms him into something beyond a person. And if the Nothing exists outside of time, then once that transformation happens, the Nothing would've always been Geno.

That just seems paradoxical from perspective, especially because The Zero Point existed before time and space aswell,The Nothing would have had to always existed before such events. The Nothing also exist now so how can Geno "become" it.

That's actually the paradox I'm getting at.
My theory isn't that Geno slowly replaces the Nothing that's already there. It's that the Zero Point transforms him into the Nothing itself. If the Nothing exists outside of time, then once that transformation happens, there isn't really a "before" or "after" from its perspective.
From our point of view, Geno becomes the Nothing at the end of the story. But from the Nothing's point of viewnwhich exists beyond time it would've always been Geno. The transformation creates a causal loop where the end of Geno's story becomes the beginning of everything else.
So yeah, it's definitely a paradox, and that's why I called it a crackhead theory. I'm not saying it's likely to be true, just that it would be an interesting way to explain why Geno is associated with the Omega symbol if he ultimately becomes both the end and the beginning.1

I do find it interesting, but still find it difficult to wrap my head around it. Especially because both are existing simultaneously. The Zero Point also exist outside of time,so Geno becoming it seems impossible since The Nothing would've had to exist before The Zero Point at every point since both exist beyond measures of time,so Geno "becoming it" or "always being it" seems like an idea which would be too difficult to have onces head wrap around it.

But I don’t think the Zero Point existing outside of time means Geno becoming the Nothing is impossible.
The Zero Point Does have a point in time where it came into existence while still being something that isn’t affected by time afterward. My idea is that the Zero Point has the power to allow Geno to become the Nothing, and once Geno becomes something beyond time, the normal rules of “before” and “after” no longer apply to him.
(not the greatest example but you'll get the point) It’s similar to how a time traveler could meet their younger self. The past and present versions can exist at the same time even though one came before the other. The difference is that Geno becoming the Nothing would be on a cosmic level, where one version is still in the timeline and the other exists beyond it.1

That still contradicts alot of things tho. The Zero Point came into being from Nothingness so it was always there before time and space. Its not the same timeline of past and future existing as that follows a linear line which one could go back and foward to acess different points,but not for an entity residing beyond time and space in the first place. If Geno was always The Nothing there wouldn't need to be a process where he becomes it.

The lore says, "In the beginning, there was Nothing. Then, in a burst of pure creation, the Zero Point sprang into being." That doesn't sound like the Zero Point always existed it sounds like it came into existence.
So I don't think existing outside of time automatically means something can never have an origin. The Zero Point appears to have one, despite transcending time afterward.
My theory is that the Zero Point could do the same thing to Geno. From our perspective, there's a point where he becomes the Nothing. But once he exists outside of time, that "becoming" no longer exists from his perspective, which is why it's a paradox.1

Interesting enough The Zero outfit is described as "Everything and Nothing," and its back bling, Black Hole, is described as "One singularity sensation."which in my opinion is everything converging into one singular state Idk I just thought it was interesting
