initially, it’s important to understand that concepts such as morality and humanity are corrupted in mukuro’s view. as a child, enduring the experimentation inflicted upon him at the hands of those christened family stripped him of the innate trust and underlining principles of ‘family’ especially when conceptualised by existing members of the mafia. within the powers granted from those who participated in those excruciating experiments mukuro was stripped of his sense of humanity. in a way, mukuro existed outside of the realms of what was recognised as humanity in his eyes atleast. ascending to something above what he saw them as, especially members of the mafia, as they were now seen as individual to direct contempt towards. it’s also relative to the trust both ken and chikusa have towards mukuro and the fact that whilst tsuna is astounded that he would use their broken bodies as tools to advance his own ideals they do not feel in the same way. they, as well as the other children who were subjected to the experiments were abandoned by their families, forsaken in entirety, for them, mukuro was a saviour. he gave them a sense of liberation, a purpose and a place and more so the ability to direct the hurt and anger they no doubt felt towards their oppressors. it’s undoubted that within those times mukuro fostered a great disdain towards the world around them and what it had come to stand for. as for hibari ( which i’m going to touch on briefly and expand upon as i rewatch, as i will most of this ) within hibari mukuro has found a sense of grounding, reality even. as he, himself, has ascended from this level or mortality that others find themselves grounded within this equal he had found within the cloud guardian gives him an anchor within the reality in which he dwells. hibari forces mukuro to recognise his own humanity and vulnerability and in a way he abhors him for that. hibari, as a fighting partner, coaxes mukuro from the sense of being above others or acting upon this fixation / obsession with the mafia and to actually exist within the present time. he finds hibari, equally vexing as he does amusing.
