Different authors - different morality. Hana/Aguilera is in many ways still a child, incapable of making decisions. She is not as vicious and ossified in her evil as Asakura. And just because she said she wants to die doesn't mean it's her real wish. Rather, banal stubbornness due to their own pride, which Olteka and Giff had previously trampled on well.

Aguilera shouldn't affiliate with someone who consciously breaks a promise.


Part of being a Kamen Rider is the willingness to do unpleasant things for the sake of justice and carry the burden of those sins. Ikki and Daiji have already killed three Giftex collectively, so Sakura killing one would be a bigger deal to them than it'd be to her.

A broken promise is also quite unpleasant thing. Hana could well be offended, considering this another betrayal. Even so, she would have survived in the end.
