I've read something relevant to this a while ago, related to Litchi in BlazBlue and how the divide between Eastern and Western values made her into one of the lesser liked BlazBlue characters in the US while maintaining a high spot in Japan. I'm talking about her joining the NOL in her Continuum Shift true end.

In Japan, from what it seems, never going back on your word is important. In the West, things are different, in that it's morality before reason, and following your own desires is seen as selfish.

Back to EW, the way you said the flashback, it seemed like he broke his own word and morality with the incident. Considering Logan is Japanese-American in this rewrite, and possibly learned about the values of the two different cultures, it actually makes sense for him to feel guilt about that one incident, because of broken word and morality. In short, you successfully created a scenario that makes good use of BOTH Western and Eastern values, and on a character that practices both values as well.
