I still strongly belive that Bansai is equally heinous(or worse) than Manfred. For instance, he affected way more villains than Manfred did, if Bansai didn't do his actions, Manfred would be nothing. So, Bansai's definitively Manfred's catalyst.

Other thing, he didn't only wanted to kill the president, but also his own ally Ryōken. If it isn't enough he also was responsible of Souta's abuse for being a witness(Though, Mari Miwa was the abuser).

And maybe indirectly, but still twisted his son with his own truths and wanted him to belive that he was the best, only at the end, to be broken.

These are my points from what's in-canon.

I hope this helps.
