He was the good guy...right?
Character: Risho
He was doing this for the light. He was the good guy-they were the righteous warriors, and anyone who opposed them were the enemy.
That's what he was telling himself.
He was doing it so he and his friends could live in the light.
That's why it was okay Gama died. That's why it was okay Gama sacrificed himself in that fatal battle with Kurama. It was okay that Gama would never get to see the light-he was dying for it. Gama knew that is might come down to this-he had known. So it was okay he was dead.
It really was okay.
It was okay that the rich bureaucrats were making up rules and messing with team Urameshi.
That was fine.
It wasn't his team, it wasn't his life, they weren't his friends.
It was okay to cheat.
Clearly the council knew a more righteous, and deserving team when they saw one-and Team Masho deserved a life in the light.
It was okay for Toya to fall too.
If Toya wasn't strong enough, or cunning enough to grasp victory-then he didn't deserve it.
He didn't want it enough.
It was fine when Bakken mercilessly beat up an unconscious man.
Kurama deserved it, who cares what happened to the fox.
It was also okay when Yusuke punched out Bakken.
Bakken was too much of a loudmouth. He should have stopped trash talking, and just finished Urameshi when he had the chance.
It was no loss for Bakken to get wiped out in the end.
Talk shit, get hit...that's all there was to it.
It was even okay when he Toya started doubting him and spouting off about honor.
Foolish Toya!
Didn't the idiot know this was all for them? This was so they could live their lives in the light!? Have a home? This fight needed to be beyond honor! Sometimes unjust means were needed to get justifiable ends! Stupid Toya!
Stupid Toya...
But...
But why did he lose in the end? Why was he lying here now Koto's voice ringing out his team's loss, and Urameshi's win.
Why the hell did he lose against a half dead kid? There was no way that pathetic pig should have been able to stand on his feet, and fight him! How the hell could a human take so much abuse? Why wouldn't that fucker stay down?
...It was now as Risho was laying flat on his back, aching from the burning attack of an honorable man, and reeling from the sting of disdain from his former teammate's eyes-that Risho realized...maybe. Maybe it wasn't okay.
Maybe...maybe he'd been wrong.
And that was when Risho let go of his dream of a righteous man, and lost consciousnesses as an immoral soul.
