@macroblitz Exactly, I think the author doesn't know how to write a mature character. No matter how big of a gangster he was, it doesn't mean he is now such a fool.
He hasn't changed a bit. His changes and justifications are totally superficial, like changing one's color. He does things exactly like a gangster but denies being a gangster... I thought perhaps the girls would make him aware but that too turned out to be a limited stint...
