Burned down an orphanage

it makes sense if he can actually turn into a monster though.

>good guys cant kill people or else they wont be good anymore!
>mysterious asspulls kill villain or villain comes back 1327 times to continue plot due to poor writing skills

He did kill people. The corpses in the background are those he killed.

Talking about the trope in general my guy. Don't even know what show this is

It's the protagonist equivalent of the villain sparing the hero's life because "I sense great potential in you" or "you aren't worth my time."

The line was drawn when the MC didn't burn an orphanage but the other guy did.

He massacres the soldiers

Obviously, but retarded authors still try to draw another line. Fuck them.

It's the Asian version of Kantian ethics, which is far more prevalent in their culture than in ours. It's very black and white, but that's how it goes for them.

It's important to Hyakkimaru on two levels: spiritually we can see he literally is in danger of becoming a demon through the eyes of the monk, and developmentally the guy is a shell of a human who needs to learn not to respond to everything with violence. Thematically it's also important to Dororo to overcome the natural state of violence that wars have brought to her life.

>when japs are notorious for not showing any mercy historically?
Have you tried actually watching this anime? Because you'd have to be retarded to think it's portraying feudal Japan as merciful and kind.

The second course is shit. I don't feel "it" anymore.

I might as well ask why it's so common in American media when US soldies are notorious for attacking civillian targets. Keep in mind that the most famous as well as the most utterly retarded example of this is Batman, the one who allows Arkham's revolving door policy to persist because killing the main cast of villains (what's their collective kill count by now? Somewhere near a million?) is "wrong".

That's when the adaptation started going off rails. A 50 years old manga is too "edgy" for the modern audiences.

Orphans are literally a blight on society, parasites that feed and feed but never give back.
They were doing their poor feudal japan a favour by getting rid of the unnecessaries.

Batman not killing people makes sense in his story. He's already a vigilante, without his rigid set of morals he would just be a criminal loon.
A samurai not killing people is fucking retarded though, unless you're trying to ape Rurouni Kenshin.

>Batman not killing people makes sense in his story
Batman stopped making sense for longer than most posters here have been alive.

Eh, Batman doesn't have to kill anyone. Killing is something that society, represented through judges and laws and official executioners, would have to take upon themselves to clamor for.
It's the fault of whatever state that Gotham lies in for not really dealing with crazy criminals.

>It's the Asian version of Kantian ethics, which is far more prevalent in their culture than in ours. It's very black and white, but that's how it goes for them.

Buddhist ethics maybe, but not "asian". If you read any Chinese or Japanese classic text, you will see that taking horrible revenge on your people that wronged you and sparing noone, not even their families, is in line with confucian morality.

Meanwhile the studio named after the guy who wrote the manga is doing an anime version of How I Met and Tutored Your Mother

It's far worse in comics and movies

What are you on

Eh, the Joker alone has killed entirely too many police officers to not fall down the stairs and break his neck en route to the cells whenever he gets arrested. That's not even judicial. It just happens when you kill police officers and then somehow manage to survive your arrest.

That's not some fruity metaphor for killing being badong, if he kills enough that his soul turns completely red he will literally become a fucking monster. Old man Biwa has said as much more than once now.

Well, if the state of wherever Gotham lies won't change its laws to somehow deal responsibly with all their criminals, then the people just deserve all that shit that is happening to them, period.

It made perfect sense here with the Japanese mythology, you even have a monk who can see into his soul to tell the viewer that it would the case. What you should be complaining about is how Shield hero did it, now that didn't make sense.

Thank god for a dororo thread.
