I...want to kill this man so badly I can't stop

Ok Heihachi is quite a dual faced character.
He said he usually cut wood, in fact he told Gorobei he never cut a person...
BUT he seems to slip into the role of killing people with no problem.
On top of that he seems the harshest when it comes to betrayals, immediately going for his sword on Nodoka...
To top it off, in 12, he's REALLY mad at the peasant, and even states his desire to chop his head off quite plainly.
The fact that he SMILES ALL THE TIME with those damn niko nikos ^_^ just makes it weirder.
Does he have some issues?
Cause a normal woodcutter wouldn't make a jump to being a merciless samurai so fast...

Interesting, no? I think more than likely Heihachi is a person possibly traumatized in the past by the betrayl of another, and maybe even lost a loved one, or someone special because of it. His constant niko niko face may just be his way of coping, and when confronted with circumstances much like those which caused him trauma, his facade breaks.
