Honestly, I think people are blowing things waaaaay out of proportion. Yeah, Mutsuki is currently one of the most screwed-up characters in this mess of a series, and has done some pretty nasty things. And is currently, as the chapter itself stated, "drowning in power" ......but it's like people are forgetting that our cast are hardly angels.

I mean, I get that you don't like Mutsuki. But that comparison is way out there, and kind of fails to take into account the overall tone of the series. Mutsuki's crimes are really not that extreme in comparison to things others in the cast have done. A nice summary of the deeds in the series that would be HORRIFYING if occurring in the real world:


 * Chie Hori routinely witnesses brutal killings, and photographs them for lulz. She can literally watch people get brutalized without batting an eyelash, and gives zero fucks.
 * Ayato brutalized his subordinates, including (by his own claim) beating Banjou until it caused him to have bloody urine. He also enjoyed killing humans without remorse.
 * Takizawa went on killing sprees, and tortured Haise for fun. He also killed and ate people he personally knew.
 * Amon helped kill Ryouko and many other innocent ghouls, including helping to hunt children like Hinami. As a child, he helped Donato in his crimes.
 * Tsukiyama routinely hunted people for select body parts, including tearing a woman's eyes out and ripping the skin off an old man. He left his victims maimed by alive numerous times, and took part in the Restaurant.
 * Nishiki beat Hide in front of Kaneki, for the "crime" of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
 * Akira was almost as sadistic as her father in hunting ghouls, and took part in experiments on captured ghouls.
 * Kaneki tortured others, including Ayato and Kanae.
 * Juuzou tortured ghouls, maimed humans that annoyed him, and regularly engaged in a variety of petty crimes.

And those are all major characters that are now the good guys. Mutsuki is fucked up, but hardly alone in the series in terms of doing things we as readers find morally repulsive. It's a series where most of the cast are murderers, many are cannibals, and many have indulged in sadistic actions.
