I get why someone like Zenos would put someone like her in charge. I get they were also going for some sort of 'monsters are made not born' thing by delving into Yotsuyu's backstory and showing her innocent amnesia version of her. But it just wasn't executed well IMO. This is just a personal thing but when you go full ham comically evil with a character's introduction it's then difficult to make me care when you peel back the curtain to show why they became comically evil.

Really though, if Yotsuyu had just died in 4.0 I wouldn't have much complaint about her, it was really the 4.2/4.3 arc that made me loathe her presence in the story.
