That's what I thought at first, but it's not like he confessed to her anything. She already knew how he felt without him saying anything.

My guess is that he said something that went beyond a mere confession of love. Though I'm really not sure what it could have been that would have made him a poor choice as an ally for Nachetanya - normally I'd think that those sorts of declarations of devotion would make him more trustworthy and reliably manipulable.

lol, it seems kinda obvious to me that goldov is the 2nd fake
-he would do anything for nachetanya
-he spent time alone with her, so she could have pursuaded him on following her plan
-all that amazement with the reveal couldve been faked so he could obtain the trust of the fellow braves, everything part of nachetanya's plan, in case she was discovered

There was more to it than what he said to her. She said she would have told him if he'd just done what she said without asking questions. Then she laughs and says she didn't expect him to tell her that.

So for me the question is what did she tell him to do that he balked at? Whatever he said sounds like it was part of his refusal (or questioning of the order/task).

I haven't had time to go back to see, but I suspect it's in one of those scenes when they were alone together looking for Adlet. Or we were never privy to it because it happened back around the time when she sent him out to find the Brave Killer.

Goldov was my runner up 7th, and now he's moved into first. Nacho told him that if she had been chosen, then of course he had. Since she wasn't chosen, that line makes it seem likely he wasn't either. But I don't think either of them knew the other was the fake, because I think they had completely different and unrelated reasons for their pretense.

That incriminates him even more, since his greatest desire seems to be to protect his Princess rather than kill the Maoh. I mean, he was ready to follow her even after she was outed, if she would just have explained herself to him. Well, I guess he wasn't on board for the half a million people dying plan, but other than that...

The main problem with Goldev being the new seventh is the same problem with his being the original seventh. That is that he, of all the group, is so lacking in personality and back story that it wouldn't achieve anything plot wise. He is basically disposable.

If in a sequel anime, or in a later novel, he is given a bigger role, I can see the author having more use for his overcoming betrayal and sorrow than being a fake.

@CrowLia
You make a good point. We don't know if the Goddess is still active or if the choosing of the braves is somehow automatic. If she is still part of the picture, there may be seven (or more) legitimate braves. Funny, the Deus ex machina in this show may be an actual goddess.

We don't even know what makes Nachetania tick yet.

I agree with you about the selection process. The anime has information holes you could drive a bus through. Just as an example, the Demon King's people seemed have a much better idea of how the braves were selected and when. They also knew all the details about the barrier while the braves knew very little. The whole plot to create the locked room thing was set up weeks if not months before the braves were selected.
