Background

Sabsosuke is shown to have a rather complex and diligent honor code despite his relatively simplistic demeanor.

Sanosuke experiences with the Sekihō Army and the Ishin Shishi of the Meiji Government, have left him particularity bitter towards the current government, who not only destroyed his comrades but framed them for dishonorable and incompetent actions. This means he is more than willing to do "illegal" things with a clear consciences as he has no true faith in those who make laws. He is very dim-witted but aware of the fact, and tries not to over-think situations. In particular he despises half-truths and baldfaced lies.
