@Tersione and
@Ghostdevil - I had been feeling the same, and when I brought the matter up to the translator, he also said he'd had the same impression, but he added that this might be a little of circular reasoning. Since non-repentance/reincident behaviour is one of Ji Young's criteria, he ends up targeting these guys
because they're twirling their moustaches, giving him all the evidence he needs. The ones who don't repent shit, but also aren't openly gloating about it, are probably safe from the Vigilante.
