Sokka's character arc is so interesting to me because, as much as Avatar is a show that celebrates tradition and culture, Sokka doesn't begin to thrive until he starts to travel and learn from different kinds of people. He actually parallels Zuko in that way; they both begin with a closeminded perspective, and have to spend a lot of time being exposed to new ideas to realize their own potential. Zuko's arc is so much more drastic, though, whereas the way Sokka changes is almost subtle.
Crucially, he never lets go of his roots. Sokka is a warrior and a hunter and a tracker, and those skills are the base on which he builds his abilities as an tactician and inventor and politician. But Sokka needed to leave home and let go of the ego that his culture encouraged before he could accomplish any of that. He needed to learn to acknowledge women as warriors, and respect bending as an art, and think of the fire nation as people instead of monsters. He needed to meet other people who could help support and nurture his strengths like Piandao and the inventor. Sokka trades pride for humility, and then builds himself back up to real, earned confidence. It's kind of incredible to see. Just compare how stiff and unhappy he is in the first episodes to how easy and free he seems late in the series.
And after everything he's learned, I really can't imagine the Sokka at the end of the series just, going home and taking care of his tribe again. I think that he would do it, if they needed him to, but that environment would be almost stifling to him. I imagine a Sokka who travels, meets new and interesting people, uses his big whirring brain to solve problems. But who, of course, always has a familiar place to go back to when he needs it.

Makoto just seem very much the type to put others' wellbeing above his own I think. While Komaeda tends to be very self-sacrificial for the sake of hope (or maybe he just didn't value much of his own life? I need to read more into his character), Naegi (in FF era) just seem like a person that would do anything (even if it risked his own life in the process) for the sake of what he thinks is right. It's not just for hope, it's for what was generally viewed as what could bring justice and a fair end in both side.
Which ends with me thinking that, eventhough there was a risk that he'll be executed by Future Foundation for act of treason. He won't have any regret since 1.) They only want him, so his friends are basically will be left aside, 2.) His sister is safe, 3.) The remnants have returned back from their despair state, and despite their rocky situation and awkward relation, he still believes that they could get better in the future.
Even if he's nervous- scared even- as long as he had those 3 thoughts along will be (partially) enough to ease him a bit from the upcoming judgement. Because he knows that there won't be anymore regrets for he had done what he could to keep the people he loved safe.
Idk this is just my general idea of him, while Nagito never really sees worth of his own life than to serve the ultimates, Makoto never put his life above his loved ones (that's left).
