After seeing the comments here, I think it's worth mentioning that Kyros' life is the real tragedy, not Rebecca's. Fighting was literally his life, as he would have been killed otherwise. Just when he finally got a chance to get rid of that, however, Doflamingo came. Now his wife's dead, he's a toy, and his daughter, who doesn't even remember him, has no choice but to fight, as like him she would be killed otherwise, and the only thing he can do to alleviate her "sentence" is to train her himself, so that her hands would remain sort-of clean. It's well-known that the goal of many parents is to give their child an even better life than they had, and Kyros couldn't do that. Even though he somewhat gained redemption now, if he doesn't die (Which is likely) I'm pretty sure he'll still have many regrets. But in the end, Kyros and Rebecca stood tall. Remember, it takes a big heart to stand and fight, but an even bigger one to know when to fight is not worth it. You may call Rebecca a coward, but if Kyros hadn't trained her the way he did, she probably would have gotten mutilated long ago (if not died).
