Shigure, to me, was a manipulative son of a bitch.
Sure, he wasn't the one to lock her away and sure, he wasn't the one to cut her hair and sure, he didn't tell Akito to do the thing she did, but to me, he's almost just as guilty. He had that one goal and Rin was just a part of it; he probably felt 'bad' about it later, but most likely, he never regretted it and that just makes me guts curl. And it makes me furious too, because many would absolve his actions simply on the fact that he didn't actually put a hand on Rin; all he did was give her a mental and metaphorical push into hell.
