haruie notes from v1.1 update with the torii gate

torii

torii2

haruie raises the banner of "faith so the next generation can be protected (at the cost of slaughtering 'enemies')" he's got this really fucked up?? conquerer mindset of i must slay my enemies so they are dead and i can take what they have so they cannot use what they have against me, in order to "protect" my clan from the perceived threat

but you can also see haruie beginning to struggle with this concept, he talks around it but basically his elder brother is trying to sell haruie out to have sex with suzu in order to appease him and get suzu on "their" side

and haruie is like Beginning to come into conflict with like. slaughter / is our clan just a slaughterhouse

and then all these words about honor and faith and protection

like, you can See that at its root it IS a noble thing to want to protect the next generation. however using that belief to justify slaughter is uhhhh inhumane

like it's the type of "protection" that comes at the cost of hundreds of thousands of slain bodies and corpses

but haruie is Starting to realize like. is this right?

like at its core haruie does have "good intentions" (wanting to protect the next generation) but has been severely violently misled and used and manipulated into using this "pure" justification into doing "unclean" things ie getting blood on his hands
