What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He attempted to force Kirara to be a part of his harem against her will.
- He killed an imperial envoy and had it set up so that the samurai would be blamed for it.
- Although he demands Kirara to be unharmed, this is only because he views her as an object to be kept in mint condition, not a person he actually cares for.
- He doesn't care a lick for his foster father Ayamaro, happily taking over his position without hesitation and banishing Ayamaro.
- He kills his biological father solely to take over his empire.
- He has the Nobuseri continue to rob villages like his father did, but told them to take everything, ensuring the farmers would starve to death.
- He sent samurai to protect the farmers, ensuring a war between farmers, samurai and bandits.
- When the Nobuseri realize what Ukyo was doing, he has them killed and replaced with Nobuseri who had no will of their own.
- He takes his forces to Kanna Village to wipe it out, in part just so he can force Kirara to be part of his harem since she previously refused.
- He kidnaps other clones his father made to serve as doppelgangers under the threat of death, only to have Tessai kill them anyway.
- He mercilessly beats up Kikuchiyo simply for being a machine samurai after being called out for his hypocrisy.
- When he finds his harem dead, he shows no sympathy and instead states they won't be easy to replace.
- Although his past could have been tragic, all tragedy is rendered void by the fact that he chooses to keep the status quo going and making it worse with the attempted genocide of farmers, which he was once one of, showing how much he only cares for himself.
