Redda's death was too kind as retribution

dmxratedWell let's see: He took Rockna hostage, held a fake Rockna at swordpoint when confronted again, and after receiving the Knights' share of the Monster Items, put the real Rockna inside the Terror Dragon. So far, Chelle has suggested that if Mondo and Zaha had failed to save her (or if Mondo became paralyzed with shock from having this happen), what would have happened to her later on would likely be the worst way anyone could die.
Honestly, I can't possibly think of a worse fate anyone could possibly suffer than that if she weren't saved. Just imagine the shock that one must experience from having even their friend ripped away from them, let alone one's daughter or girlfriend. Redda simply being killed by Zaha's sword hardly does justice. Even the cold-blooded torture that I originally planned on having Katsuo put Nicole and possibly others through would have arguably been better...and of course, that has been toned down to a single No Holds Barred Beatdown.
Well, I think I might have found a loophole to let Redda live to fight again. For those of you who saw the last episode, notice how, instead of falling to the ground and bleeding, he simply vanished after Zaha slashed him.
With that said, even though his body died, his spirit might have escaped into the mask (which he wasn't wearing, if I recall correctly), which in turn sought a new host. Towards the end of the first fic in Monster Collection Chronicles, someone will be seen wearing the mask, which will later revive Redda (possibly at the cost of the host's life). He might be the one to reveal to the Knights what Katsuo had done (assuming he could somehow read anyone's past), but Katsuo then vows to give him the same ass-kicking that he previously gave Nicole (after already having known what Redda himself had done around the same time).
So, the Knights fight him again, but with the skills they had acquired while he was "dead"/inactive, the fight turns out rather easy for them, ending with each of them, one at a time, using their respective Aerial Strike on him, and then someone cutting his torso open with his own sword and pulling his intestines out, and leaving him to writhe as they victoriously hold them in the air. And to top it all off, someone had already smashed the mask while all this was going on, which means he'll die for real this time.
