Oh no. The super nice guy turned out to be a massive dick. Who could have seen this coming?

I hope for this guy that Ranna never discovers he punched Rokudou.

Wow. I was totally wrong on this one and I love it! The revelation, that and how Tateshima is evil could have been handled a bit better, but not without spoiling it before hand. Face it. Most readers are too good at spotting and interpreting hints. Giving non at all leads to those ass-pull feelings, when there is a surprising event, but at least we are genuine surprised. The author understood that and I just did so myself.

That revelation was just expected, the idea of forcing someone to become "good" is laughable....
If they don't want to change then there is nothing that can be done.
In Rokudo's case it just make them fall in love with him but don't change who they are so they can experience being "good" and decide for themself not to act like trash anymore but it doesn't stop them from applying their will to things, like banchou for exemple.

Glad to see Rokudou's rage finally, I guess the Kung Fu training also let him express his anger better as well.

Seems like the tanned girl is gonna be interesting, I wonder what her twist will be, hopefully I won't just be a simple as her just being a gyaru.

I feel like the Saiyuuki gang thing should be a reference to Journey to the West, no? The guy's even standing on a pole like a monkey

I am really bad at not seeing things like this happening beforehand.

Well, the chapter name is a bit of a spoiler, lol. This whole concept of 'suppressing evil to become good' is a bit of schlock. If anything, and what has been shown in this chapter explicitly, when the true persona reemerges, the feelings of betrayal and resentment only become all the more intense the longer that the individual was forced to behave. It is a band aid solution, at best. I did see this guy turning out to be a 'traitor' though; this author is very formulaic when it comes to this. All the while during the training montage, Tateshima was the only one who wasn't actively helping anyone improve, instead only dropping a taste of his skill and quickly downplaying his overall abilities. We might have seen a few more hints at his powers when he was nearly pressed to engage evil Chun Li, but Rokudou unintentionally helped him maintain his cover by intervening.

As a side note, it seems incredibly short-sighted that neither Tateshima nor the exorcist had noticed Rokudo's incredible ability to calm Juri Han down with seemingly little effort. The master exorcist should be well aware of the power of the mark on his head, even if he doesn't know its true purpose. Will Erimo succumb to Rokudo's charms, as well?
