Either real world function or sport,

Franken Stein has a legitimate function he needs to serve, if he goes around doing that to even his allies he will be severely hampered in his everyday pursuits, also it's not like he is going to run out of baddies to take apart for fun so why rock the boat. = Functionality

Kenpachi is so powerful he actually limits his own powers so of course he isn't going to get off on killing someone who won't give him a good fight, which is not just about power but attitude, someone who will go all the way in said fight, since all his allies exist in an organization that encourages everyone to work together the very few who could hold a torch to him still won't, so fighting them wouldn't be fun nor would picking fights with the local civilians who have battle skill on par with frogspawn compared to him. = Sport

Unohana is a combination of both. On the one hand she has a very important function to full-fill and to waste her time fighting everyone she felt like killing wouldn't leave her with enough hours in the day to so much as pick her nose. She is also a part of a organization that needs her attention in non-combat manners. Like Kenpachi though basically nothing can stand up to her. There is no fight that will scratch that itch for violence including Kenpachi himself. When you can look at someone like Kenpachi and go "Meh I guess I could fight him but do I really need to tie my hand behind my back again?" then it sort of puts fighting into a wasted perpective. So the only people she can justify fighting as not being a waste of her time are the people who actually want to fight her who could survive for 10 seconds and who actually take the time to intentionally piss her off. = Functionality + Sport.

Sociopaths have emotion but it has no guiding conscience behind it. So generally when a Sociopath acts heroically it's when their interests line up with happening to do the right thing at the moment.
