I get that. I'm not a fan of heroes who kill, who play the game just as the villains do but this isn't a battle for the world, it's a petty child's squabble over dance mats. At least right now.

That is why I can't accept Kouta's moral highhorse. Baron's way of thinking makes him a genuine threat beyond that of the games themselves, Kurokage and Gridon were going to disable that threat in a non lethal way but Kouta decided his morals were too good for that, and he saved Baron.

This means now it either comes to the point that Baron does something that Kouta will always regret, or they will HAVE to kill him as they'll probably never get another opportunity like this. So he's an idiot.
