In fact, it was trying to move away from "being shit" (your words) that lead to this. Karma didn't bite them in the ass, it's no good deed goes unpunished.
Tomiko didn't do this because she thought it was a "good deed". It was a pragmatic decision from her perspective. She wanted some non-sheepified people to help lead the place (and she hoped that Saki would eventually take over for Tomiko herself). And there's nothing wrong with that reasoning whatsoever.


Kazu-kun is right at a pragmatic level. Their arrogance has done them in. All of this was due to underestimation.

First they underestimated Mamorou, and his ability/desire to survive.

Then they underestimated Maria, and her ability/desire to stay loyal to her friends.

Then they underestimated Saki, and her ability/desire to not rat out her friends.

But the biggest of all, of course, was drastically underestimating Yakomaru and the Queerats. Right now, Yakomaru is outmaneuvering them so completely and so thoroughly that I can only call him "Glorious Bastard".
