There are different ways to show sadism. Mado was the theatrical type who gleefully tormented his victims, Hairu simply butchers them with that Mona Lisa smile of hers plastered on her face, but I have little doubt she has the time of her life ripping Ghouls apart.

I'm honestly confused though. Most of you read manga and/or watch anime, so I highly doubt Hairu is the first case of a smiling monster you meet. So why such shock and revulsion? Unless you react that way to this character archetype every time it pops up, then it's a different story.

Personally, I find Arima to be far more uncanny and unnerving in his emotional blankness, Hairu serenely smiling while spattered with blood was quite beautiful in comparison.
