Aaarrrgghh's sudden change of character


Until ep.8 Aaarrrgghh is a committed pacifist, why would he torture someone like he does in ep.8?

What is the basis for your assertion that Aaarrrgghh is a "pacifist"? Because he said so? [Spoiler Alert] In a later episode, where Toby cries "Kill!" over and over while playing a video game, it's revealed that Aaarrrgghh has a violent side. Thus, pacifism is a goal. Much like an alcoholic's determination not to drink again.

I suggest you listen to more than the words coming out of the mouths of the people around you. There is, often, more to know. Learn to read between the lines. Listen more "deeply".

If one is awake enough, one might wonder, in the presence of a towering Troll like character claiming to be a pacifist, like Aaarrrgghh, WHY they are a pacifist? What is the story behind such a seeming incongruence?
