Asami is not the kind of person who would just ask for him to get locked up and never see him again. I don't really get that impression from her

However

Here's the thing about characters. I actually wouldn't be surprised if Asami finds it really hard to even look at her father after the events in Book 1. He basically shamed the Sato name and public cooperate with extremists. So maybe initially in Book 2 we will see some hesitation from Asami to visit her father. Maybe you are closer to your family and you think it's a bad thing, but I think this reaction from Asami would be realistic. After all, it's not an easy thing to face someone you love but broke relations with. It's not easy to face someone who tried to hurt you.

I myself am very close to my father and if he ever did the same things Hiroshi did to his daughter, I would very shocked and hurt and not really sure of what I could say to him if we ever met again. I would feel a bit angry and sad about what happened, but it doesn't mean I don't hold anymore love for him. The same applies to Asami.

I believe there is actually some hope for some repatching in the future, if the show ever decides to go that far. I think Asami turning her back completely on him is kind of out of character so I'm not really sure if the writers would even do that. You just need to give both Asami and Hiroshi a chance to prove themselves rather than jump to conclusions so quickly about who's a "horrible daughter" or not. So you said you would be too shocked to react so quickly, but then what would you have done? Just do nothing as you watch your father take down innocent people? You have to take action, and that's what Asami did.

Bottom line: I agree that Asami isn't perfect either, no matter how much I side with her, but I understand why she did the things she did. I also don't think she would cut someone out who raised her, as other people have pointed out. This whole revelation of who her father is, with the breakup drama and Equalist revolution must have really been emotionally and mentally exhausting for her to comprehend at once.

Let's see how Asami gets everything together in Season 2. I doubt it's the last time we'll see her with her dad as well. The issue is not resolved just yet.
