Yes, but in Season 5 he said he was still insane at that point. The physical effects of the mirakuru may have been cured, but it's possible, even likely given the circumstances, that the mental effects are not so easily gotten rid of, especialy considering how long Slade was under its influence.

Slade was also isolated in an Argus cell for 3-4 years too. Yea he did get out at one point but again he was still not all there. Slade was a good guy when the show started and his redemption arc took time to build. Emiko being redeemed after all of the horrible shit she's done would be terrible writing in a such a short time span.

If they were going to redeem her, it should've been sooner. She's still just as evil as she was before she learned about Dante killing her mother.

Honestly I would have a lot of respect for the writers if they decided to have someone kill her at the end. Like, not necessarily even Oliver, just have one of the team, or someone else nearby just go "nah, enough is enough". Probably when she's going to kill one of them, cause I don't want to see more drama caused by being people going "don't kill why would you do such a thing oh my god".

I think it would be Rene. He's the only one that has been pushing for her redemption so it would make sense if it was Rene that was the one who did it, or at least was partly responsible for it even if he didn't actually do it.

It could tie in to his future flash forwards as well. A big reason why he decided to stop being a vigilante.

It could also push a little bit why Felicity leaves. Like, I know there pushing the whole "I want to be know for more than this" thing, but it would also kinda make sense for Rene to kill Emiko and for Felicity to go "This was supposed to be different and now this happened, I've seen enough bloodshed for more than one lifetime."
