I................ You know what, that's fair. Bakumatsu gives you a weird perspective on what is a normal amount of bloodlust, I guess (again, Matoba dryly, 'you have enemies??')

"Don't worry Sakamoto-san, it's not murder if they are not human" (it is definitely murder)

Matoba draws banishment circles and hexes when he's bored in meetings, it's (semi, gag manga) canon
