That is an incredible leap in logic by the two goobers. "I have to keep killing people so I can achieve my goals." Remember when they killed an innocent poor high schooler bc a rich family wanted their son to be ranked #1 in test scores over the poor kid? Her little brother waited for her to come home but she never did cuz she was murdered by the protags...
I can't say I approve of this choice but it does fit them very well. Killing people never meant anything to these kids. It's so normal to them that it doesn't even register as a bad path to success.
It would be lame if satoko can just thanos snap everyone back to life at the end of the manga but at the same time, these kids don't really deserve a happy ending after everything they've done. But there are lots of people who are straight up evil evil who have great happy lives so it's not unrealistic for satoko and konoha to face zero consequences and get a happy ending sans redemption for their crimes.
Curious to see if the author digs deeper into the ethical implications or stops here and just finishes the story without further consideration.
You are totally wrong on the "killing people never mean anything to these kid", I don't get that kill that poor girl really prove anything ? yeah that kill are morale bad, it was clear from the start. She is a assassin, who kill on order, they are doing bad thing, working a bad job. Morale bad 100%, But they don't have any remorse ? that is different topic.
They still can do it, easily even. it have become their way of life, it was easy after a while you get way too use to it, heck become instinct. Remember that arc when she have to go to a hell training mission to regain her killer instinct, after have a different childhood. Same go for all that ninja girls, they go kill their fellow classmate, sister that live, grow together on order. But on another hand they show have close relationship with someone else and care to each other, not a cold blood machine.
i jump on quite a lot of chapter to check up after the anime, yet i see plenty arcs and moments sign to show Konoha show feeling to who she killed , in fact even this chapter is literary again showing her remorse, she missed when being distract by mention about killing.
And the whole reason she keep killing is that, who she kill before her life would mean nothing if she abandone that goal. remember, she have to go to a hell training to restore the killer instinct that once art after have a different childhood. Same with, now for Satoko. She would do whatever. The point of all this is they walking the path to hell together.
And, if they truly not feel a thing, there will be no reason for this for this chapter dilemma to exist in the first place.
now, for how this would end. I interest to see how they would met her mom, That was where the goal suppose to end, that mean after that is what matter. A more epic ending would be end this whole assassin corporation once and for all ?
