Firstly, it stemmed from his bullying as a child for his mixed race and in a particular incident after trying to restrain his anger, violently beat up a bully so hard it had to be hospitalized. In order to further tame his violent tendencies, the protagonist practiced swordsmanship so it can temper his violence and have him use the weapon as a way to control himself and to honor his parents' teachings. However, the worst has yet to come.

He was later captured by White supremacists when he was 18 years old and watched lots of innocent people being brutalized in many ways including himself, the capture being the response of Alt-right groups rioting in response to Trump's impeachment (Which do not explicitly states it but implied in the story.) After failing to use reasoning with them, combined with the extreme suffering he's been enduring, caused him to snap so hard that he killed every member in the place with just a katana...even though others survived and got lauded by some circles as hero, he feels internally angry at himself because he perceived that he tainted his parents' teachings of understanding and spirituality for others once more, and thought that he doesn't deserve to be called a hero for it. Not to mention that he used his Kendo technique savagely to kill the members of the place where he and others got kidnapped and tortured. That's the reason why he's so defensive and attracted to the Alien protagonist who's a girl and faces some varying degrees of distrust from other characters because of her race, he doesn't want her to suffer the same as he and others did back then, and to see if he can be a proper hero for once in the war.
