Some people are saying he didn’t know killing was wrong….I don’t agree. From this chapter it seems very apparent to me he well aware of his affect on people.

Guwon knows people are afraid of him. He knows people are just “yes and”-ing him because he’s physically undeniably dangerous. He know that people think his mentality is “crazy” and wrong” but no one says or does anything about it.

I’ve said before he’s very much like a child king he’ll do something—anything he thinks is right do if unchallenged. He’s not socially, emotionally, nor logistically intelligent but he will listen if counseled and advised.

I think he values Teach’s bravery and steadfastness where his morals are concerned. He himself doesn’t have those qualities (at least not innately). So when presented with a person who will not only teach him some of these things but actively push back against him I think he’s allured by finding an “equal”.

Guwon has shown many many times he is flagrantly arrogant and I imagine he’ll value the life and thoughts of someone he’s deemed as equal to himself. He’s found that in Teach.

It will be interesting to see how the MC navigates this. It’s a dangerous position he’s in.

    I said “like” a child king. His judgements aren’t really rooted in any logical manner that a competent leader would subscribe too.

    Competent leaders know that the value of a person can only truly be capitalized on when they’re wants and needs are met. Guwon is ruling via barbarism because he’s unchallenged with a more measure methodology which it seems he’s expecting to glean from Teach.

    And you didn't understand a thing i said. Guwon is probably a supernatural being who came to judge humanity. Do i have to repeat it in a more simplified way???
    Should i use "angel" or "god" or "end of time" words? Because this is different. Same concept different beings

    I wasn’t saying you’re wrong I was just clarifying my original statement.

    I find the idea of him maybe being a supernatural judge as you put it interesting. I see your point. Nor do I disagree especially because I was addressing his ideology/motifs operandi not the nature of his existence.

    Also You said “testing humans likes some judge” which can take on a open connotation that could be taken many different ways. For instance I read that as maybe he a mutant “Negan”-esque charecter or like Frankenstein as some others have suggested in the comments. A “supernatural being who came to judge humanity” is a great succinct statement that clarifies your position! Adding details to support an argument isn’t simplification its good communication.
