If anything, I've never seen an antagonist in an Adachi work you could classify as just simply malevolent or just someone who wants to make life hell for the protagonists. Every character has their motivations, even if they aren't always crystal clear. Nepotism is still nepotism, but you can still sort of understand why Nikaidou, his father and their manager did what they did. Any good father thinks the world of his son, and he did with the knowledge that while confident that his son would survive surgery, to make his own son's wishes come true. This was a lesson for the characters to not judge a book by its cover.
