Saiyuki 11 spoilers

So... a bunch of demons kidnapped and impregnated Hakkai's true love with demonspawn (and not Hakkai!demonspawn, the bad kind) and she kills herself in front of him, so he goes and pulls an Anakin Skywalker on the whole clan?

You know, he is Chichiri -2.1. Because Chichiri actually caused the death of an innocent person, not evil people. Honestly I was suspecting Hakkai's dark backstory to be a lot more sinister and morally ambiguous.

I guess somewhere along the line of Jossverse and Full Metal Alchemist I just have come to expect the very worst from secretive character backstories, and now I'm kinda disappointed because Hakkai's backstory doesn't make him a recovering bad guy... it just makes him a recovering grieving & angry guy.

Still, I do so love his English voice.

You do realize that his true love was his older blood sister?

hey, did I ask to be spoiled? especially for things that actually make this interesting

ew, what? they never mentioned that yet.

Okay... so incest (if you're not mocking me) does add a level of ickyness that ups the bad factor of his "dark & mysterious" backstory.
