I don't think you're reading the same manga as everyone else here... you say it's clear he wouldn't hesitate to kill innocents, but that assertion is about as flimsy as me saying that you're a rapist. Not because you have, but it's clear that you would simply because you are male. And I'm making the assumption that you're male based off the flimsy rationale that your name starts with "Rafael".
Cid doesn't ever claim to be "righteous". Indeed, the things he does is to amuse himself and his delusions that he's a mob character when he has so much power. Yet the things he does just happen to align with "defeat the bad guy, save the damsel". For Cid to start killing innocents... not happening here. Plot armor is ultra-thick here to keep Cid from that, and we're not expecting the "tragic hero" archetype here.
@Eksentrysyti No need ad hominem attacks just because I talked about something I didn't like in the series.
Yeah he wouldn't start killing innocents, but that's just because of the plot armor, not because he personally is against it. He is like a loose cannon constantly on the edge of going off and causing a massacre at any time. If there was a group of innocent people united to do something peacefully and it mistakenly aligned with his delusions, he would have no qualms in killing all of them.
The plot wouldn't allow so, but there is no doubt that this is his personality.
I don't want him to be a tragic hero, nor do I expect it, I just said that I despise him because he is undoubtedly evil and only cares about himself.
I do like reading the rest of the story, though.

@xSauriaNx I would have to say, my favorites are Alpha and his sister. I honestly don't know why I like alpha so much, maybe because of the first girl syndrome, I really like how the sisters really loves him and really believes in him.
Yep, he would always pick his code, but the maxim in his code is "fulfill the power in the shadows fantasy at ALL COSTS", so he's basically a mad villain with luck enough to not have killed innocent yet, but that wouldn't be against it. He's more like an SCP than the foundation itself. And Keter at minimum.
