Not even getting into Gege's current reputation about how he treats his female characters, I don't think the shock value is worth removing one of only 3 non-antagonist characters that I think are even good in the entire cast of JJK anymore up until the point I dropped it. It's not like it was entirely on her shoulders, but it's certainly a contributing reason to why I think that JJK was fucking terrible for a solid 2 years after that other than the Zenin arc, which was absolutely baffling after putting out one of the single greatest arcs I've ever seen in a modern, or even older, Shounen.
This plot point actually prevented me from getting into JJK, and
based on the stuff that came after I made the right call.
