Part of me was hoping that Yagura's cruelty was because of Obito's manipulation or maybe because of his jinchuriki status, but I suppose not.

Agreed. When we saw Yagura when his conscience was talking to Naruto with the other Jinchuriki and when we saw him confront Juzo Biwa and Itachi, he didn't appear to be very cruel man. I mean with an exception to Juzo; who was a former Swordsman and S-Class rogue ninja.
