i dont know why people are bitching even if you dont condone honor killing (which i dont either) this is a part of the underworld life and tradition and also its obvious that her grandfather valued honor as much as any samurai. In the end he did not kill her he stopped and allowed her to shoot him. That act alone is enough to ascertain his thought process. In the end his "love" for his grand daughter over powered his sense honor. His comment before he died says it all.
I will admit the scene felt out of place but it was probably put there to develop Arisa's character further towards the end.
