Like why are people even questioning why Sakamoto’s gang stopped killing? Literally the entire reason he changed in the first place was because of Aoi told him straight up she wouldn’t be with him if he stayed a killer, and he promised her he’d never take another life. That’s not just romance, that’s his whole core now. Even if his enemies are “evil,” it’s not up to a guy who used to kill for a living to suddenly decide who deserves to die. That’s exactly why the jail arc with Shin hit so hard, if they start picking and choosing who’s “killable,” then they’re no better than the assassins they’re trying to move away from. What’s next? They just hate someone and go, “oh yeah, they’re evil in my eyes, let’s kill them”? That’s the exact mindset Sakamoto promised to leave behind. The point is to stop that cycle of violence that’s gonna bite them back in the end. And you can clearly see they’re already paying for their karma anyway with his past life as a hitman is constantly coming after them. So why would he throw away the one thing that keeps him grounded and the reason he even got to build this life with his family in the first place? Let them keep their core istg (╯°Д °)╯╧╧
