The Fact That I Love It Makes Me Hate It Even More - Tumblr Posts

I always wondered what was going through her mind when she asked them to sit on her magic memory chair. Did she think they were going to say "Oh, now I remember that I really am Hoshidan! That obviously cancels out all the years of good memories I had with my loving friends and family and all the years of being taught that Hoshidans are my enemy! Gee, it sure is easy to shrug off brainwashing!"

Then again, considering that that is LITERALLY what happens in Birthright (and even Conquest, to an extent), it seems Mikoto knows her kid well.

You ever wonder what would’ve happened if Corrin had sat on the throne when Mikoto asked? I tend to think it just would have caused their transformation to happen a few hour earlier. I also tend to think Mikoto wouldn’t have thought that far ahead and would have been stuck with a rogue dragon and would have died anyway.
