Mad Scientist-type characters... I feel like it's really hard to judge them as "good" or "evil" when there's even a little ambiguity, until the author has revealed all their reveals, and the story is over, and we as the audience have all the facts available to make our judgement calls.
Sekirei is one of those series, Minaka is one of those guys, that I find really hard to judge--yet.
I mean--well, if Sekirei exist, and were dispached to Earth because Earthlings have "exhibited the potential to become Ashikabi"--
That was a humongous atomic bomb of a line that Miya dropped, because--
Maybe Minaka's worried about that other race of Ashikabi showing up in more spaceships and being like, "Nice planet; we'll be taking it, now". That's something I'd be super-duper-worried about.
I guess my point is, Ms. Mangaka has really invoked Fermi's Paradox without actually addressing it, here.
(Anyway remember that Minaka was sad about humans being affected because that was unexpected, not because it was bad.)
So I guess what I'm saing is,
Until we know whether Minaka's preparing for like a Borg invasion or whatever, I have a hard time condemning him.

Damn, some of those assholes are really quite detached from their Sekirei. Leaving one to be terminated because she failed? Walking off like it's nothign while she cries out for you?
Yeah, really hopping Minato kicks some series ass in the final stage. Also, hopping he and his sekirei get to make some sweet love before the end.

Unfortunately for us, He got some good karma by apologizing, which in the Sekirei world is basically a reset button. Though the end of the chapter seems to imply that the lack of trust may have been from becoming the CEO of his company at too young an age and the board members using that to their advantage.
