** It turns out [[EnfantTerrible Evulz was evil even as a child]], so reverting his memories back to his childhood will not give the heroes a chance at rehabilitating him.
Added DiffLines:
** But he still wasn't ''irredeemably'' evil like he was as an adult, and thus can still be turned around for the better.

Meanwhile, his guardians and other people he comes in contact with find he brings back memories of Emperor Evulz's crimes, and they can't even look at him without being frightened or disgusted, even if they intellectually think he is truly not the same. Some of the other characters are also angry at his guardians for harboring him and don't consider this an appropriate punishment, or think they're putting everyone at risk.

Added DiffLines:
** The heroes realize that turning the adult Evulz into a child and wiping his memories (or rolling them back to his apparent age) is effectively a sort of DeathOfPersonality or MindRape, maybe not that much better than just killing him.
Added DiffLines:
** Emperor Evulz was killed and reborn or cloned as a child, so the heroes' raising him doesn't involve their mind-wiping him.
