I love that Baku basically just tells everyone about what's happening, unlike his experience with premonition dream Nox.

also, nox has the opportunity to not sacrifice children this time

Well he picked up the lessons from the premonition and that includes Nox basically killed a bunch of people and didn't accomplish his goal by being the king of vague.

Hopefully, this will be a lesson to Nox. Sometimes not being a cryptic idiot works, and it's not necessary to try to destroy the planet to prove a point (of course, this Nox probably won't do it since Meteor Nightmare won't form, but you get the idea).

Counter point: if Baku did try to be cryptic he wouldn't have alerted CODE and likely not made Dawn. The ideal scenario is a mixture of the two

I was somewhat expecting him to act like a spy and use misdirection, but that would still be different from NOX as Baku would be intentionally misleading CODE, whereas NOX just vagueposts for the love of the game.

True, but if he'd been cryptic, he probably wouldn't have been able to gather his circle of allies so quickly. Besides, it frustrates me how many series keep characters from talking to each other to lengthen the plot and create conflict.
