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!

I just wanna comment on this, I am reminded that Ikki watched Daiji "kill" Kagerou, and like I feel he should be putting two and two together that Daiji is probably self destructing cause all he did was internalize his hate for himself and his family?

Also, as a person who often feels weak and that their life is out of their control Daiji is relatable on some level. It's hard to cope with and accept our internal flaws and demons. A lot of society shames us for having flaws and being hateful or resentful when those emotions are natural. It's easy to see why Daiji killed Kagerou, he wanted to feel like he'd overcome those emotions, that he had come to love his family, but no one actually addressed the source of the problems. I don't know what the Igarashi's could do to help Daiji, but it feels like no one, not even Daiji, has helped Daiji.
