Byakuroku*
I think that since he loves Ran, he only was jealous because he thought that Ran cared more for the brat than for him, to the point that Ran would disobey his orders and sacrifice himself for the child... Slashing him might seem excessive (at least for me it is), but let's not forget that it's supposed to happen in a time and place where morals are not the same, moreover Byakuroku isn't even human and is conducting a shaddy business so that probably was his punishment for traitors... Well, in my opinion Byakuroku kinda looked like a jealous girlfriend/stalker saying : "if I can't have you imma kill you" (￣∇￣")
So I'm confused as to why Byakurou sama slashed Ran's body? He said betrayed? I thought maybe was because he was thinking of harming the boy but I know that's not it so please someone tell what happened in that part lol.
