# '''He's going to die soon anyway.''' Nux's primary motivation, as established early in the film is to die historic and earn a place in Valhalla. He knows he doesn't have long to live and so wants to find AGoodWayToDie.

# '''He failed Immortan Joe while in full view of him, which led to the death of his favorite wife.''' As stated by both the character ''and'' the actor who portrayed him, Nux's DespairEventHorizon is the moment he fails to kill Furiosa, as '''directly''' ordered by Immortan Joe, and his favorite wife dies shortly thereafter. At this point, Valhalla is denied to him, he's still dying, and he has nothing else to live for. Cheeto showing him compassion and sympathy at that point was the first time anyone gave his life worth outside of being cannon fodder.

# \'\'\'They all know the Citadel plan is a gamble, and he himself says that it seems like hope.\'\'\' All of the heroes know that returning to the Citadel is a huge gamble that may cost them their lives. Nux, I\'ll remind you \'\'wants to die a good death\'\' and says himself that this \"sounds like hope\". This is a cause he can get behind--there is no longer a place for him with Joe or his \"Valhalla\".
# \'\'\'He is very much trying to live up until the moment he has to either die or cause the plan to fail.\'\'\' Despite his condition, Nux very much tried to survive the battle. However, the second the engine was ripped out of the War Rig, he had a choice: either he sacrifices himself to bottle up the canyon, or the rest of the War Boys catch up with the surviving heroes and either kill them or turn the Citadel against them. Nux, \'\'whose entire motivation is to find a good death\'\', comes to a split decision that this is as good as it gets.
ALL of this explains why he \"suddenly\" turns away from Immortan Joe\'s warrior cult. Valhalla is no longer an option, he\'s met people who treat him with kindness, and lastly, he\'s given a chance to die a better death than merely fading away.
