I definitely don't think that, and I don't think that's what I was saying? I'm not trying to judge Daiji, I'm trying to point out that categorizing Kagerou as somehow outside of Daiji -- rendering him a villain that can and should be defeated -- is sort of exactly the trap that Daiji himself falls into. Daiji's negative emotions, expressed through the manifestation of Kagerou, are inherent to Daiji; he needs to confront and accept them, not refuse to take responsibility for them by "defeating" Kagerou. Hope that makes more sense.

As for the other stuff... I gotta be honest, I'm not ever that keen to chime in for or against what "some people" say. If you want to personally make an assertion or push back on an interpretation or complain about a story choice, great; that's the stuff I want to hear. But I can't respond to second-hand accounts or generalized conjecture. That's all personal interpretation disguised as objective reality, and I kind of can't put much energy into that sort of dialogue. Sorry to disappoint!
