Noa In Things Fall Apart

His destructive habits however, are something we see only after this. Noa is an incredibly vindictive child, acting on impulse toward those who have wronged him in his eyes. Soon after his breakdown he very quickly comes up with a plan to not only again escape the computer world but also destroy the computer itself...and therefore, the three who he detests so much at this time. His father, who betrayed him after all he had done for the man, and had even gone so far as to blatantly tell Noa that Seto had been intended as a body for the boy, only to declare that he would be taking Seto's body as his own using the systems Noa created. Yugi, the duelist who had defeated him. And of course, Seto... ...who at this time represented still everything …show more content…
Before he takes the boy's body, Mokuba voices sympathy and even empathy for Noa, causing the other to briefly falter before he mentally decides that Mokuba is simply being foolish--or perhaps more likely, is even still affected by the mind altering code he created.

He is intelligent, and as well as that, cunning--able to come up with and enact strategies and plots that are immensely difficult to overcome, while patient enough to set such plans into motion...and as shown in his final half hour, able to come up with equally crafty plans on the fly. His pride however blinds him--he is all too aware of his intellect, and lauds this over others, feeling as if there can be nothing that can face it in turn. What he finds obvious is obvious, and while he is absolutely able to hold a civil discussion with others for reasons beyond 'business', internally, he still clutches to this superiority. If he is proven wrong nonetheless, his first reaction tends toward irritation, and childish grumbling--or perhaps, in the case of more groundbreaking losses, absolute wide-eyed shock or
