What I meant was none of Izumi's friends, or even people she trusted, ever had the courage to stand up to her. She's such a dominant personality and she's constantly surrounded by weaker ones, so it's really no surprise some of the insane things she gets away with.

That was the whole point of her arc in what we talked about a few weeks ago. She goes way over the edge, losses just about everything, and then comes back once things calm down and tries to do the right thing. Ever iteration of Izumi ends up either dead or alone (which is sad, regardless); I figured she might as well have her shot at being the hero for once...even if it kills her.
