The Balaclava Maniac was a special breed of monster
For context, to enact his roleplay, Minoru Kagenou developed this persona and unleashed his pent-up blood lust onto bikers and criminals.
Just the fact he was able to get away with it all, despite being a normal guy that would have been easily tracked by the police shows Minoru was always a smart bastard.
What's worse is that a former soldier, who took up mercenary work to fulfill his own blood lust, is outright terrified of him, making it clear that the Balaclava Maniac is a brand of monster that not even psychopaths would dare cross paths with. Heck, I won't be surprised if the psychopaths and pedophiles are afraid of him busting into their homes.
Also, for the VA, it genuinely sounds like the soldier was in sheer pain when Minoru busts out those crowbars.
