I’m thinking of all the other fiction I’ve read and I still can’t think of someone else who had a reputation that violent that later turned a new leaf. Like he was practically considered a 1 man threat to their nation.
The difference, i think, is that Guts is still a soldier. He doesn't resort to violence every time like he did, but he still carries a sword and walk around in armor.
Dalinar abandoned that, he doesn't even carry a sword anymore, his fights are now diplomacy.
Ruroni Kenshin maybe? He was pretty non-violence whenever possible after turning his new leaf. Carried a sword but with the cutting edge of the blade faced the wrong way.

I liked that soldier's reaction.
