I agree. I mean, I think we've seen his humanity already. I don't think it's a coincidence that Kanae was spared during the night that he killed the Rosewalds. It doesn't make sense for an investigation as skilled and as precise as Matsuri to let a child escape, in fact, it seems like he would have killed him first. It would have been easier.

But he let him live, and I believe it was done on purpose. I'm praying that they have interaction in the next few chapters.

Also, we saw that he was getting anxious during the Auction raid. He spilled his coffee, he was upset that Atou died (and considering that Atou didn't think much of himself, I found it touching that someone as respected and valued as Matsuri was concerned about him), he was actually shocked when he found out about Nuts actual ranking, he even allowed Mutsuki to return to the vehicle—escorted!

He cares about people, I think he just has a nasty reputation that the CCG has attributed to him. I'm aware that he lost many lives during the Rosewald investigation, but they were investigators. He sent them on that mission expecting them to be investigators, not expecting them all to die. And if the casualties were so high, then perhaps the Roesewalds were stronger than they thought, perhaps he was taken by surprise (just like he was at the auction raid).

All in all, the Rosewald causalities weren't all his fault. Not to mention, he fought during the battle. Typically, Washuu's stay out of battles, but he actually fought on the front lines. He was prepared to die with those people.

I don't think it was his intention. Also, he was just 18 when it happened, so with a reputation that thick overshadowing you at such a young age, it isn't all to easy to erase.

Not only that, he's obviously under a lot of pressure. He was called back to handle Aogiri because the current director—his father—couldn't, so I'm assuming Tsuneyoshi is looking towards his grandson to do what his own son could not do. That's a lot.

I think he wants to live up to a reputation that his father could not, whether he likes it or not, which is why he's practically acting how he is now. I noticed how it was strange during his conversation with Marude, when he was reprimanded for his way of thinking, he didn't fight back. He let Marude speak his mind. It almost seemed as if he didn't believe in what he was saying himself, that he was just repeating something that Grandpa Washuu instilled him him.

I kinda get the feeling that since Yoshitoki couldn't live up to his Father's image, that Tsuneyoshi is placing the burden on Matsuri.

And also, another thing, Matsuri may be apart of the main family (either by birth or default), so the responsibility is more than it is of a branch family member (which would be Yoshitoki).

And another thing, because Yoshitoki Is so different from the Washuu's we've seen so far (you can read my thoughts here too ->http://lidsworth.tumblr.com/post/126389959084/theory-as-to-why-matsuris-name-breaks-the-yoshi)

, Matsuri may be trying to bring the family back to the “Washuu” reputation, because his father strayed from it. That's why he's an elitist, because his father wasn't, but his grandfather was.

Not to mention, people are already slightly upset with the way that Yoshitoki is running things, so it may be shamming the Washuu family.

So all in all, Matusri may be under a lot of pressure, which is understandable. That explains his personality, but I think it's too quick to call him evil like so many people are doing.

Idk, I really agree with you contributor. I think we're all judging him too quickly, based off of only a little that we've seen.

And along side that, his reputation is only being based off of one huge investigation (the rosewald investigation) which closely mirrors the Auction raid in success and in causalities. We've already seen that many causalities from the auction raid came from things he didn't expect (Seidou, Big Madame, and Nuts), yet he succeeded. I think the Rosewald may be the same. If they had the Washuu's on the Rosewalds, then they weren't a weak ghoul family. So like i've said 100 times, I don't think the casualties are all Matsuri's fault.

<p style="margin-bottom:0in">Anyway, I like your way of thinking. Matsuri is one of my favorite characters, and it upsets me when so many people ride him off as evil without looking into his character. All in all, I think he's a pretty good guy, just with a lot on his shoulders. =)
