The Path of Redemption
He does not want to redeem himself for his Father and Sister. But he does want to redeem himself for only himself. When he reflects his past mistakes and calamity he caused, he wants to prove to everyone he can control himself and hold responsibility for his actions. Which is another why Izuno was important to him with the time he spent with Mortals.
Another reason he subtly respects them for the code of bushido. He really does admire Samurai lifestyle since even the violent or terrifying, to the weakest and benevolent of warriors only fight for what they believe in while honing their potential and showing resolve. He can't really say much for those who brings peril and thus chooses to avoid in confrontation. But if they need his blessing he will answer, usually for the most faith given.
As of recent his job for Warriors Orochi 3 is to be a Commander to the Mystic Army, but it's a very shaky position to show admiration to mortals again since they caused Orochi's returns plenty of times.
