1st, while it's true she was able to notice it, it also just shows how advanced their video game tech really was.Again, the ONLY reason "the kid" is being spared, is "because he's a fellow (Japanese) player". In-groups are human, Out-groups are sub-human. That is what annoys me on a cultural level. Take away that one magic excuse, and the inevitable and oh-so-annoying 'redemption arc' becomes impossible.
Sure, some people could notice faster than others.
But that should be a reason for her to be more merciful. She herself should realize that he might have had chances, but it's still possible to miss it.
Plus, with his power, he could be used to do a lot of good for the world, because there is a good chance he's not an actual bad person.
2nd, the main reason he's actually being spared is because he was defeated and her granddaughters wants to try her legally (cause her granny wants her to take credit for it).
So the real reason he's spared is because her granddaughter got there in time... and he was stronger than the mob bandits so he didn't die instantly...
The only reason story wise is cause he was Japanese, but that's just because being Japanese gave our MC more time to talk and question him, giving time for her granddaughter to save him for a court trial.
So he's not actually being spared.
