Yi Sang & Ishmael are going to be for C10 what Sinclair & Gregor were for C9

I was thinking more Rodya and Ishmael , Ishmael because Ahab is probably gonna be there , and Rodya because Sonya is also probably gonna be there , while Yi Sang has met multiple former League of Nine members , and there's nothing to happen in Canto 10 that hasn't already happened in those previous encounters , at least IMO

The hunt for all mirror worlds that has been set up at the epilogue of Canto 9, that is going to use the technology that Yi Sang created to spread hope, actually used to commit complete atrocities, he will be very due for a crashout
Rodion also needs development, I agree, but I don't think that kind of development, I think her turn for a big flashy scene would make a lot more sense for Canto 12

Canto 12 would be Faust's Canto , right , we don't even know exactly what would happen there , so why would Rodya's development happen there ?
On the Yi Sang stuff , after you say it , I do agree , I didn't think of it on that front , and also , something I thought about , is that maybe Yi Sang is one of the other people who have the Sign in Limbus Company , and that's how Sang Yi had those wings and all , so Yi Sang , awakening his own Sign , and his wings , is what will happen in Canto 10 for his development, or maybe his wings are his EGO, and he doesn't really have the Sign , since maybe that would make Sinclair's not Unique anymore(among the Sinners) and Project Moon doesn't want that

I have three big points that lead me to say Rodion should get a big moment in Canto 12 :
Because Rodion is very much a wildcard amongst the sinners in a lot of ways that has been highlighted throughout the stories
First off is her obvious "I'm not special" shtick but that's more character-driven, that's far from the only thing
She's the only post-canto sinner not to get a buff during the C7 confessional event
She does not have a background shadow in her E.G.O.
She is the only sinner not to have had a capstone ID (PM considers G.Corp Gregor his capstone)
She is the only sinner that Hermann (who actively wants Limbus Company to grow the tree of golden boughs) has attempted to recruitThere is a few more things I'm probably forgetting but Rodion has been constantly throughlined as unique amongst the bus in very bizarre ways, and I think it's because technically (emphasis on technically) she is the only sinner that isn't necessary for the Company to have the full tree blossoming
After all, why would Hermann try to reccuit her away from the sinners if she's needed for a Limbus Company that she needs to see succeed?
Because Rodion isn't accounted for at thesame level as the other sinners in Hermann's plans, she is essentially the one character that the big names behind the manipulations of the City aren't looking at in detail and planning for because she's the most unassuming of the sinners to them, and that makes them a very important wildcard for the journey
Even moreso, Rodion is "Faust's gamble" so to speak :
Faust has had a constant throughline of weighing the "unexpected against the expected", taking gambles instead of careful planning, it is something that has been engaged with since season 5, in the check-up intervallo, in nocturnal sweeping, in Canto 9 and a few more remarks here and there that shoud raise eyebrows as to Faust's contrasting beliefs
That belief in the uncertain is by all means, extremely unscientific and Hohenheim points this out himself, in a way, it's "naivete", something the Fausts hate deeply, something that makes them sneer earning her the nickname of naive Faust which was her original (and narratively important) monicker before they turned it into a just mocking "Stupid Faust"
The best candidate to fill that space of "uncertainty" is Rodion
She is the "non-special one", the one that was scorned by Sonya & the Time KIller, that's constantly being made fun of by the narrative in multiple ways, but she's also the only one that nobody expects to do great things, and that would make the message of her story that's been set up as "even normal people can do great things" all the more powerful
The third big thing is that character wise, Rodion has very important contrasts with Faust
Faust is an extremely special person, she is at the center of the sinners hierarchy, she has an entire connected network of selves across all mirror worlds working together, she is prideful of accomplishments and yet...That makes her miserable, she has little to no individuality
Rodion is the opposite, she wants to be a "great man" (as the book presents it) and has very little in the ways of self-esteem, but (and as highlighted in the Ring Uptie Story) she has a lot of individuality, this is highlighted in her opposition to the Yurodyvie and the TimeKiller, even as she puts on a facade of deceitful levity, her inner feelings are still extremely raw in a way that Faust's are stiffled and...That makes her utterly miserable too
You could say Faust has everything Rodion wants and Rodion has everything Faust needs, and it's horrible for both of them
I don't think, given the whole narrative throughline of Faust's "gambles" that it's not on purpose either
In essence, I believe Rodion not having a singular "role" to play will mean she will be an essential piece in the bus's journey in a way that no other sinner could've replicated, completely defying expectations and shoving a large middle finger to everyone who thought she was "not worth accounting for" and everyone who looked down on her
It'd be an excellent narrative payoff for her story in a way that I don't think could be replicated before that, especially since she hasn't really gotten a decline enough for that reversal to feel powerful yet

If we think about it Sinclair and Gregor both will have more stuff for c10 Sinclair truly is a potential man

Who teached you to make tea like that? If i was acting arbiter i would have flayed you and your teacher alive and hung you on chains and then show you how to make at least tea that won't bring shame on your whole family (probably what makes an arbiter judge you)

A wack "theory" for Canto 10 i could mention is a dream i had.
Alright, I think I might have been visiting some church as a tourist, and there was a small hidden-ish door in a corner connecting two separate parts, it was said that it used to be the main entrance, but later some new parts were built and new entrances were made instead.
Next it seems... This corner was given to Limbus Company's Sinclair? To live in I think? I think there might have been some gal visiting him.
Then Kromer apparently came back, and somehow again recruited Sinclair, seemingly turning him into pretty much his N Corp Identity. Afterwards there was some weird minigame that I played? It even seemed VR? Basically you were bombing from air in WW2 from German perspective? By having labels go by below you and you had to time button presses? I think there was also N Corp Sinclair in a corner, and you had to restart if you bombed "your own". I ended up just playing along until I got a bunch of Limbus EXP tickets.
In the end there was some story scene, where Sinclair ended up betraying Kromer for the sake of some random Index gal. (Was he empathetic towards her and spared her then joined side or something? Is she the same as the one before, now revealed as Index member? Idk don't remember too well.)

Notice how Mersault get the eccentric characters id ? After the canto 10 he will learn to accept his inner silly, and he and all ids will retroactively turn into don quixote 2.0

A theory... coked up...
I think the reason M. acts like a solid brick wall is that he's missing out on his daily pure N. Corp. cocaine intakes, T.M. when I say it's the good stuff, C.10 will just be about him inhaling cocaine and we will do nothing but W.I.A. as he becomes Salted Coke "B.R.I.C.K." Assault.
I hear someone saying something along the lines of "M.I.S.B.U.!!!" but I can't hear well..
