Explaining that the President gave him purpose in life doesn't handwave away all the other relationships the story has been trying to build. It only makes his motives feel cheap.
* Characters have no real sense of self preservation, and they act for shallow reasons. Hell, they will flip on a dime when the story suits it too. Howling Blade will go from "I don't have any purpose so i'll die in the arena" to "I don't care if you lose, i'll continue fighting anyway" to "suddenly, I care about my reputation" to, after you beat him, smiling and saying "I guess i'll retire" like it never meant anything to him.
* Our big bad, the President, supposedly doesn't care that you're wanting to cure Psychonecrosis, but he tries to undermine you at every step from doing so? He has two opposing motivations at once, and they don't go together. Yes, I get that he's trying to preserve his fighters, but curing the condition would allow him to have his cake and eat it too.
* The solution to the problem is literally pulled out of thin air by a child at the most opportune moment. Then, conveniently, she's spirited away before she can do anything about it.
