I like when books/manga explain a villain's motives. And this series has a cast of villains. 
I think this is the first time in the series when I almost sympathize with one of them.  Renji has good reasons targeting certain people. But the way he does it is a little misguided, he's trusting the wrong people. I have a feeling they will betray him when he's no longer useful to them.
