Ask a question about or relating to Tohru and I'll reply with a miniessay explaining my answer. It can be anything from "How would he react to ____" or "Would he ____" or "What are his thoughts on ____" or whatever. Ask as many as you'd like.
Yuu has challenged his views ever since he found out about them, somewhat. Of course, even Yuu told him he would stand by whatever Tohru's decisions were, so I realize it's not to the extent of someone outright challenging him.
Still, there are two different stories to tell. The story of what would have happened, had Yuu not gotten to him first, and how he would react now, because he is very much a different person now. He's very much the same person, but the huge changes are substantial in that they would affect how he feels toward said challenges.
Back then, he wouldn't have thought much of it. Rather, it would have been a problem, but... Someone knowing that much about what he does is problematic. If they were consistently challenging him, he'd remain resolved in his beliefs, but... He'd be suspicious of their motives, especially if they didn't seem interested in actually stopping what he was doing. i.e. going to the police or something like that. Chances are, Tohru would heavily research said person greatly to see if they, themselves, were hiding something.
Nowadays... Well, he regrets his actions, but he cannot undo the past. He still believes as he did before, but... He's very conflicted. Someone constantly challenging him might make him feel more guilty, but... Rather than feeling threatened, he would welcome any punishment that they may wish to bring upon him, no matter what that punishment might be. Jailtime, execution. He knows his crimes and he has been prepared from the beginning to receive the same treatment he had given others.
However... It's not quite so simple, still. Yuu not only changed his life so drastically. He's gone so far as to request that Tohru stay alive. Tohru sacrificed his own life the day he decided to commit these crimes. He was merely going to execute his tasks until the day came when he was careless, when he was caught, whatever may have happened. It's simply how it would be.
But Yuu's insistent on absolving him to the point where he can live a normal life. He doesn't quite feel that he's able to, not with the sins he's committed, but on top of that, he's never been in touch with his emotions, so... Hm.
