But vigilante and assassin are both confirmed as being canonical.

He technically broke the law, such as it was at the time, and worked outside its confines to bring about justice. That's vigilantism, plain and simple.

Though Low Chaos is the confirmed ending of D1, there are also certain people he killed in the pursuit of his goals during the first game. He also kills people during the novel and the comic series, again both of which are canonical works, and calls himself an assassin during those times, even though his role during those periods was legitimate.
