Pirate: How dare you molest the whole world? Because I do it with a small boat, I am called a pirate and a thief. You, with a great navy, molest the world and are called an emperor. Augustine, as observed in City of God.

A trope whereby some in- universe group moral standard is portrayed as being hypocritical because the morality of actions depends entirely upon the identity of the actor(s). If it's us who do it then it's clearly justifiable and excusable — though it's not a good thing just because we do it. If others were to do it (especially if it harms us!) then it's clearly unjustified, inexcusable, and evil.

What's more, how many do- gooders actually feel remorse for all the minor evil minions they kill to save the world? How many so- called ? Watch Night Drive Online Full Movie. It's also likely at the root of many if not most Double Standards.

When it's completely egocentric, It's All About Me. If instigators are surprised that people feel this way in a setting where they have no right to be, it's Nobody Ever Complained Before.

After all, He Who Fights Monsters is a major theme of the series. Of course, not long before that the three of them had murdered Mikasa's parents and intended to sell Mikasa herself into sex slavery. Their mission has caused them to be responsible for the vast majority of tragedies in the series thus far, but at the same time they can be protective and supportive of their human comrades.

All express remorse or uncertainty over their actions, but Eren states none of them are allowed to experience human emotions like guilt or regret because of their crimes. Later on, Armin uses a cruel bluff to provoke Bertolt, describing how Annie is being viciously tortured. In response, Bertolt calls him .

Bertolt's actions as the Colossal Titan triggered the entire plot, causing thousands of deaths and untold suffering. Cycle of Revenge, indeed. In the first episode, he chastises Lelouch (he didn't know it was Lelouch at the time, though), for causing violence.

Once he gets the Lancelot, he puts a stop to the resistance under the impression that the violence will just go away when he wins.

The future Black Knights are nearly liquidated by the suddenly unimpeded forces of Britannia moving in (Lelouch saves them indirectly). As much as he claims to use right means to achieve his ends, those . And whenever he's confronted on this mindset, Suzaku simply diverts the blame and makes it sound like he was forced into doing all of it, with his usual excuse being his father's legacy. All of that, and yet somehow he always has a problem with Lelouch's way of doing things, even when the only difference between them is that Lelouch actually admits that his means are (at times) deplorable, to the point that he even suffers guilt and anguish over them (whereas Suzaku, again, simply passes the blame and doesn't so much as lose sleep over his actions).

He can read the minds of anyone and hear any of their thoughts or urges, good or bad; but he's so immature, and has so little experience with dealing with people, that he automatically assumes that these thoughts make the people bad and will do terrible things to them for it (or talk them into doing said terrible things, or, if they actually do have real skeletons in the closet, simply berate them to Heroic B. S. O. D.). He's an Ax- Crazy maniac! This completely disregarding the fact that the man in question was a criminal scheduled for execution that day, the fact that Light himself killed him, and how many people Light had killed up to the point where he said that.

When Ryuk mentions at one point that Light will be the only evil person left on the planet should he succeed, Light has no clue what he means. Even his disapproval of Mikami killing people he didn't think necessarily deserved to die yet is largely based on how it makes Kira look. This is despite the fact that not only is he in a Villain Team- Up with Lucifer, a Fallen Angel and Maou's would- be Starscream, but is actively using him to terrorize innocent people, whereas Emi was working with Maou to stop them from tormenting said innocent people. Even Lucifer himself calls Olba out on his hypocrisy. Goku counters that Tao attacked him since he was sent to kill him and he only defended himself. Neither one of them cares. He hates Goku and wants to kill him to avenge his father and take over the world.

This is despite Vegeta being a planetary pirate who destroyed a number of species and murdered his own partner, Nappa, for getting injured and refused to even consider bring Raditz back because he considered him a weakling.

Gero/Android 2. 0 show up, they slaughter an entire city full of innocent people, with 1. Goku and sucking the life out of him. Then Vegeta shows up and beats 1. Gero screams at him that it's enough; as Vegeta points out, Gero and 1. Z Fighters, and it's only .

Earth killing whoever and whenever they wanted For the Evulz. Trunks even calls 1. Trunks: You think this life is all about you, don't you? What about the others? The ones that you two killed?! Babidi's father caused the death of millions if not billions by unleashing Buu, including all of the Supreme Kais except one.

Babidi also regularly murders others, including his own men, without care. However, don't expect him to show any respect for others, even the Kais who are supposed to be his equals and counterparts. Zamasu from Dragon Ball Super hates all mortal life, viewing them as brutal, selfish beings that abuse their god- given gifts to commit atrocities and kill each other, but he himself commits similar acts throughout the Future Trunks Saga.

Present Zamasu is perfectly willing to kill his own master to advance his goals (and in the timeline where Goku Black hails, he succeeded), Goku Black's first act upon stealing Goku's body was to murder Goku and his entire family purely out of spite for Goku beating him in their sparring match, and Future Zamasu uses his god- given gifts to slaughter entire planets, as well as his fellow gods, without a flicker of remorse.
