@KageKageKing:
I demand details on this.
I had extensive discussions during those chapters. Serves me right for even mentioning it. Basically, it was a spur of the moment decision, a move that only looks cool in cartoon fiction, a move that would have almost definitely ended his, his king's and his family's lives, even if he managed to do what he wanted to do - killing Dofla on the spot. He was offered a way out of sorts, and that would have been a safer option for most people involved. Didn't Viola and Lepanto, for example, survive and got as chance to fix things later on? Kyros wife could have survived as well if he had tried to bargain. Or at least he could have tried bargaining before going Leeroy Jenkins.
Now I get that Kyros wasn't much of a thinker, at least not that that time in his life, but that doesn't stop me from cringing at the thought, every time I remember it.
Oh and those seastone cuffs being there just for the hell of it, even though they weren't expecting to meet any fruit users. Monet the spy should have made Doula family aware of that.

@Strooger:
I wasn't being serious, of course. My point is that Kyros was written in a way where he came off as needlessly martyrish.
This. Go and fix yourself you moron, might save more lives that way.
