Its pretty obvious why he stopped and why he called himself weak. He loved his granddaughter there was no doubt about that majority of the things he did was to insure her safety, but instead she joined the very organization that is the cause of Japan's suffering to him that was unforgivable it was a betrayal. But his love for her is what made him stop which is why he stated he had gotten weak. It is no easy thing to kill your own blood.

Or taken a japanese history class? If not, then wtf do you know about the samurai code as well) or whether I'm complaining about how grandpa should have killed arisa.

I have taken Japanese history and continue to study it today samurai codes were simple yet complex and in a matter of honor within the family it was not unheard of for wives or children to kill themselves to maintain honor within the family and it was not unheard of for them to ask for help in killing themselves in a way this is what Arisa's grandfather felt he was doing. I dont think its a big deal and i do agree that no one should bitch at you about it.
