thats true! i liked him for that, too; the brute strength and absolute arrogance he gave off was certainly interesting, and i loved how it took gao literally kicking him in the face for him to change. i'd love to chalk up his attitude/personality to something traumatic that happened in his childhood, but like i said before, bushiroad isn't too keen on providing fleshed out backstories (ranma may be the first true exception to this aside from ikazuchi)

wisdom's ideology is so explicitly stated that i was sort of EXPECTING him to hate monsters for a very specific reason - and that's what disappointed me the most, there really... wasn't anything. (but x fell flat in a lot of ways regardless. not as bad as triple d but the dip in writing quality is still apparent) in these instances i suppose its best to formulate one's own headcanons, but i really do agree with everything you and everyone else have said thus far.

on a more final note, there was something interesting i saw in the fact that wisdom was so quick to forgive grimoire for disobeying him - it seemed as if grimoire was the only person wisdom really 'cared' for in the CCC (though im aware thats far-fetched). i just found it cool how grimoire was basically given free reign to do whatever whereas if sakate, brutal, and keisetsu were to fail they'd be chatised.

the scene where wisdom tries to re-recruit sakate at the very end was cute, though
