Talk:Tooru Mutsuki/@comment-26190399-20160604181138

I see Mutsuki is getting a lot of hate for killing Torso. Admittedly, it was overkill but in the context of the story, Mutsuki was pushed over the edge from repressing his memories of killing his family and also killing animals while collecting tongues as trophies. If Mutsuki had not killed Torso then some in this fandom would say he's weak, useless, and always in needs of being rescued. However, since Mutsuki killed Torso in a gruesome fashion now he deserves to be killed and he's a monster? What I find messed up about the whole thing is that the CCG was fully aware that Mutsuki was/is deeply troubled yet still made him an investigator. They might as well have lit the fuse since Mutsuki was/is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode. All that was needed was for him to be triggered and Torso holding him captive, possibly raping him, beating him, and verbally abusing him is what finally set him off. I think Mutsuki is a fascinating character and I don't think he's a monster that deserves to die. Of course, only Ishida knows where he's taking this and I hope Mutsuki can be saved.
