    Pretty quiet chapter for once. Seems like all the other Vegapunks are downloaded to Lilith's brain or something?

      This entire arc has been pointing at Vegapunk not just being a person but also a huge wealth of knowledge and scientific progress. While Imu and his elders represent the bourgeois state (all of Imu's elders are "gods" of different stately departments like finance and the environment), Vegapunk's satellites are all diverse and independent enough to carry on Vegapunk's life work for him. In short, they're human in a way that the elders and Imu are simultaneously inhuman. The strawhats have a Vegapunk while the WG also has a Vegapunk, so all is not lost in terms of who can inherit Egghead island and use Vegapunk's scientific research to preserve the world (or destroy it in Imu's case). That's the "perspective" that Lilith was referring to.

      When you view Egghead as a juxtaposition of Vegapunk's scientific socialism and Imu's decadent bourgeois state it makes the arc that much richer.

        Saturn is still on the island may be him and york will still find a way to destroy stuff.

        I woul say punk is more of a long line of collaborators with the ruling class. The story already has its nazi scientists like ceasar or judge. Punk is also a useful idiot for the empire, whose biggest contribution was him whistelblowing the best kept secret that they genocided ohara for almost leaking.
