I am so glad I wasn't the only one disappointed by how Hayato's actions came across. I had been so eagerly anticipating his reaction to Touma's death, since it supposedly meant to have affected him and left him living a life "full of regret." But did it really? Because, from what we were shown and many have mentioned, he didn't leave a spirit behind, where exactly was that "regret" shown? Also, how could you not even comprehend the extent of Touma's pain.
I am sorry, but if you truly loved someone, wouldn't you at least be able to feel a fraction of the pain they endured? I wasn't expecting him to suffer in exactly the same way, but I did expect something that conveyed the depth of his love and the weight of his loss. Instead, it all felt rather underwhelming.
This manga has left me with such a strange, bittersweet, and frankly sour taste in my mouth. I genuinely don't think I'll ever recover from it.
Honestly, maybe it's perspective thing because we only see Youma point of view. Not Kaito inner thought. This is my view but Hayato/Kaito kinda just try to improve himself instead of becoming bitter soul. Kaito is better version of Hayato. Hayato was a coward, he indecisive, he can't swim, he has a lot of inaction. But after every past life, he kinda improve that, you can see Kaito kinda hyperactive chasing after Youma, he said he love Youma so openly, he proactive learning way to love Youma. In a way, his regret change his future for a better even he fail many time and lost so many Youma/Touma. He genuinely love Youma/Touma and he did regret it by making sure it not happen again.
