Hmm honestly Iasked myself the same question maybe this whole flashback is supposed to show us that that there is no sad backstory that explains why kirishima is the way that he is. He mostly is just is like this by "nature". Maybe the twist in this that there is no twist yk?

I mean..I see it as important? There’s always been a mystery to kirishima’s backstory. Even if we knew he’d have a messed up one, no one knew the details. I don’t see the issue and it doesn’t look like it’s delaying anything especially when the man just got injured pretty badly lol
This flashback actually gives us a clearer insight on his background as well as the truth behind the death of Yoshino’s parents. There were speculations about whether he Karishima had something to do with it because he knew more than he let on and we now know for sure what’s what. Plus like @plinky25 said above me, he’s injured so it’s a good way for readers to gre the time pass before he actually wakes up.
I agree that's what I also concluded after thinking about it and I think it's adding to his characterization, as I said (no majorly tragic backstory) he is just the way he is
To clarify I'm not debating it's importance of a flashback from his POV. I'm staying I think it's a plot stall.
**stating
literally where is this manga even going anymore. It's just another flashback showing how warped Krishima is. which was known. It's been hinted everyone in the Yakuza space in this comic is off. But it's just delaying the plot again to explain why did yoshino specifically get the same vibes from her kidnapper and him. and what's their connection. just waiting and waiting for the big plot twist...
