Double post sorry.

I think the best case scenario would be for Kimura to issue a formal apology. From what I've seen from people like Kurona and Kiwami are that they are iffy about Revice is that not only because Kimura doesn't issue an apology yet, but also because Vice's character is obnoxious, it kinda looks like Kimura was not only being smug but also acted like he did nothing wrong, and that could easily rub people the wrong way.

I know it can be stupid because the obnoxiousness was supposed to be Vice, not Kimura, but not being able to separate an artist from the work is a common thing to do, so it's normal to see that the character the actors are playing are sort of like an extension of that person.

It's basically this, imagine Logan Paul (if you don't know him, oh my god bless you SO MUCH) never apologized for the suicide forest thing and kept acting smug in appearances. People would hate him even more even if him apologizing wouldn't really make things a whole lot better.

My point is, apologizing may not absolve your mistakes, but your remorse will help people understand you a bit even if they still hate you, as oppose to not apologize and end up making people hate you even more.
