What did the Warriors of Darkness stand to gain by acting smug and condescending? The fact that they never seem conflicted or regretful in their attempt at mass genocide made them completely unsympathetic in my eyes.

Yotsuyu never choose redemption, she was inflicted with brain damage caused by her own malicious actions. So what's the surprise when Yotsuyu choose to be herself? What was at stake? Yotsuyu was never sympathetic in my eyes. She attempted to purge a fishing village, one whom hadn't done anything to her. She never regretted these actions, especially when she had amnesia. Yotsuyu never goes through a character arc, she goes from being herself, to being brain damaged, then back to being herself. There's a reason amnesia is considered hack writing.
I m not agree

we can consider brain damage due to her past, tell me who grow up with a saint mind in this condition? I remember you that kind of case exist in our world, there is many of it, (so this story first deserve to approach this topic that make a good point for me) I dont find her sympethetic, at start i was bored to see another cliché, like a femal version of zenos, but after seeing her background i found that more interesting. Yotsuyu has been tortur and captiv by two very criminal person who deserved 150 time their fuking death. Of cours he doesnt excuse her own crime, i dont excuse my father crime because he got an asshole as father too, but still we can understand. And the major problem showed by yotsuyu, is the fact that the society did nothing to save her at all, and today this might be highlight some probleme of this kind on our current society.

How many people heard their neighboor beat their wife or children, and do nothing?

i see her story like an social idea from the author and an criticism of traditionnal society in asia, from what i heard from south korea japan or even china, this is not surprising. So i think we better see yotsuyu story like an engage from the writter on this topic, more than something to be "original" or deeper narrativ.
