Why does Nemo call himself the last of the Atlanteans?


In the final episode of _Nadia of the Blue Water_ , Captain Nemo reveals to
Gargoyle that there are no more Atlanteans, and that he (Nemo) is the last
one. But Nemo has a daughter; Nadia, and he may or may not have made Electra
pregnant. So how can he be the last of the Atlanteans?




From what I can tell, you are correct in saying that Nemo is technically not
the last of the Atlantians. The most logical reason that I can think of for
him saying it is that he was the last person to grow up and experience the
Atlantian traditions and society. Because Nadia grew up as an orphan who
didn't know her background, she didn't have experience with that society. The
society was gone, so Nemo was the last person who would experience that
society.
