The little we've seen of Yagura shows us he's not bloodthirsty, and as little as that may be, we know that at some point this non-bloodthirsty child-looking dude is controlled by an evil mastermind. Assuming that every bad deed that he did, he did under manipulation isn't a stretch, it's a logical assumption. Considering that he was raised in the Blood Mist and is known to be a shonobi, we know that he succeeded in killing his fellow classmates. So he definitely isn't THAT nice a guy. Besides, we saw how various Edo Tensei mellowed out after their death, having lost any reason to be who they were. Edo Yagura isn't much of a representation of living Yagura.

Besides, like i said, Kagura is a perfectly nice guy until he holds a sword. I don't see why Yagura can't be a perfectly nice guy until he holds a sword.

And lastly, we don't yet know the choice the Anime is about to make, whether it's really in his blood or just in his mind. It seems to me that the whole blood thing is just a metaphor, about the choices of the past influencing the current generation.
