I'm not entirely sure where to begin, so I suppose I'll preface this simply: I condone nothing my other self has done, I loathe him for it, but I also can't help but feel some amount of pity for his situation as well. What he did was wrong and I am more than able to recognize that, though I will always look to society to see what fault lies there as well.
For two and a half years of his life, from the ages of approximately 14-15 to 17, he played the part of hitman for his father in order to bring that man to the top of the political sphere and then tear him down by revealing his identity as his bastard son. I... can't rightly explain the methods he used, but he was able to take down opposition in both a lethal and non-lethal way; it would seem he primarily did the latter, but he certainly wasn't against getting his hands dirty if necessary.
The plan failed, by the way. His father already knew of his eventual betrayal. By other circumstances, and through more noble means, that Goro Akechi died... or at least, had a probable death. I can't see how he may have survived.
While I had suspicions regarding one, I learned recently that two of the people I've come to know lost parents by his hand, one of whom is a dear friend of mine and the other something like a sister to another. So I feel some level of obligation to both to atone for that, along with the wrong he did to the others that I know, and, frankly speaking, though it is childish, it isn't fair that things in that life matter in this. I've heard plenty of people have the opinion that they don't, and I would even like to share that myself, but
well, murder is a little harder to dismiss, even in a different life.
