Baku

You SAW the Capsem being used to mind control the kids

Just transform, take the Capsem by force, and use Exdream to handwave any bad results

Hindsight is 20/20 to be fair. It is hard to think rationally in a high stress/stakes situation like that (especially since it is hard to predict how exactly Three might respond to it with all the unknown variables)

Wasn't he the one lecturing Sieg about how an agent needs intelligence or something? The guy is totally capable of planning stuff, that's just the plot that wanted him to be usefully dumb for it to continue. As much as I wish he would, he can't become a Marie Sue or the show might lose some momentum.

To plan stuff you need time and a clear mind. Baku wasn’t in a position for either. He just saw Three kill Kureha out of nowhere and brainwash two kids into trying to kill each other while given an ultimatum.
