>Isn't Fukuda on record saying that they changed the scene to highlight Nicol's sacrifice or something along those lines?
Fuck no. If they wanted to do that then they need to make him be more heroic in that scene, not more retarded. In the remastered scene, Kira pulls the sword AWAY so there's literally zero reason for Nicol to not be able to hit the Strike but somehow he completely fucking misses and runs into the sword anyway
