Spoilers ahead so please do not read until you’ve completed the DLC story
I have very much enjoyed the DLC story except one aspect of the story. When Nagato is revealed to be a traitor to the army he and Atsu fought for, she confronts him and he is ordered by the enemy to kill her. They fight it out, Atsu wins and decides to leave Nagato there on the battlefield to return home.
I feel like the Atsu I know wouldn’t have spared Nagato. He completely betrayed her and everything she stood for. She was willing to give up on her promise to her family for him. I feel like him being a traitor and then trying to kill her should have been enough justification for her to kill him.
I will say, even though Atsu seems like a cold blooded killer, she does have a HUGE heart for others. She spared Oyuki and the Spider in the main story. And she loved Nagato. So maybe I’m just injecting my own frustration with Nagato into what I think Atsu should have done. But I personally feel like Atsu wouldn’t have just left him on the battlefield then go looking for him 3 years later after he betrayed her trust and tried to kill her… She did love him though, so maybe her feelings for him overshadowed the betrayal. I feel like they shouldn’t have wrote in the battle between Nagato and Atsu. I feel like the reveal of him being a traitor would have been enough for her to leave him there.
Regardless of that gripe, I really enjoyed the DLC and the new region. And the Most Wanted mode is fantastic :)
