but since that other anon brought up how shido treated goro, it's important to know that shido never abused goro.
goro knows he's already in too deep to get out unscathed but the problem with how shido actually treated him does not involve abuse.
shido was giving him the one thing he always wanted. he gave him praise and made him feel special. and goro didn't just hate shido and want revenge, he also loved him and wanted his approval. and the jp script refers to his relationship with shido as 愛憎 / love-hate.
to an unwanted kid who just wanted someone to accept him because he was abandoned by his mom and all of society, the acceptance shido showed goro was everything.
it's also why the pts giving goro acknowledgement even after seeing the real him, the him who society shunned, was so important to him.
the pts mention how their group was a place they could belong. all goro wanted was a place to belong and shido essentially gave him that.
