I had such hope for that boy, it kind of died when he ordered his men to kill Takizawa though. This, his ex-subordinate, who has largely been put into this situation by forces beyond his control, which he knows, shows signs of his old personality in what can best be described as a blatant (if psychotic) cry for help, and Hoji knew Haise had been recovered in a not entirely disimilar state. Yet, he still gave the order.

Doesn't matter if Hoji didn't have it in him to kill Takizawa deep down he still ordered like five people with no such problems (& Akira, talk about cruel) to *kill him*. Like Owl boy has a lot of very real red on his ledger, but this kind of falls under self-defence.

For the record, I'm a big fan of redemtion through *living*. So I still would have loved if Hoji had gone down a path like Akira's after this. Alas, this did not happen.

Wonder if I can find any fanfic on the subject. *off to look*
