If you really think about it, Twelve-Year-Olds seeking revenge in anime isn't really that unusual.
In Persona 3, Ken's desire for revenge seems childish, only because he's surrounded by people much older than he is. He's only 12, but he also had these thoughts that seem too adult for a 12 year old.
Then I stop and consider that Sasuke Uchiha started seeking Revenge against Itachi when he was even younger than Ken. I think he was... 7 when he witness Itachi slaughter the entire Uchiha Clan? But It doesn't seem as unusual because the main characters of Naruto Part 1 are a bunch of 12 and 13 year olds.
Either way, witnessing the killing of one's family can't be good for one's health. In the case of these two, they were forced to grow up early.
