If you kept reading you would know that each shou is an individual and literally experiences death every time, even though they retain memories the shou that dies dies.

Damn, that comment was years ago. I've finished the story by now, and I think the story is fundamentally hypocritical regardless of this fact. Akumetsu knows what he's doing has no real justification, solves nothing, and just hurts people in the end. He's doing it out of resentment and anger, he has no solution to the problems Japan is facing. This has always just felt like a rather juvenile story to me, an author realizing mid-manga that there's no true justification for the main characters actions and trying to weasel out of this fact. YMMV, though.
