幼女戦記Ⅱ

No. She only used that voice when she destroyed an enemy weapons factory, after giving them adequate warning as per the letter of the law (it was their fault they chose not to heed the warning output on an emergency signal). Don't mind the spread of the flames from the explosion. The Arene incident was an entirely separate matter, where Republic troops had the brilliant idea to use a city as a meatshield, and the city's civilians had the brilliant idea to execute prisoners in full view of the Empire's forces after being offered the chance to negotiate, thereby cementing their status as willful combatants thus providing the justification (however you may feel about it) needed to kill them to the last. It's very easy not to shoot prisoners, and yet they chose to do so when told to release them. Not a very smart move by not very smart, but now very dead, people.

That’s the most terrifying part of Tanya, and why I love the show so much. The initial premise is a man who is purely logical to the point of nearly inhuman coldness, and that keeps up. Every decision made is logically sound, but gives you a really uncomfortable feeling ethically. But the story sticks to that, it doesn’t make Tanya a righteous hero after the initial premise sets up an amoral character. It also doesn’t go the opposite way into comically evil. Tanya is basically the definition of Lawful Neutral, which allows her to do terrible things while you can always see why the character is making that choice.

I wouldn't say lawful neutral, more like lawful evil. He used to take pleasure in firing people for being bad at their jobs. Tanya almost decapitated an unruly student, and she had two volunteers killed (indirectly, but that was absolutely her intentions) after they went against her orders.

Lawful Evil is certainly fair. My read on Tanya/original life dude is that the system itself is what they put their faith in. It’s less about using the system to benefit themself, and more about molding themself into being the person the system benefits. Which to me is Lawful Neutral. Tanya definitely does evil shit, but always legally and thought out. We don’t kill the people who are fucking up our life, we recommend them for a “promotion” to a dead end job. It’s the fucked up anime version of malicious compliance. Ultimately I feel like Lawful Evil requires a bit more ambition/self-servingness for lack of a better word. The alignment charts definitely have a lot of overlap though.

Death of Stalin was flanderized for comedy, but the underlying structure of it was pretty accurate. They all hated him and wanted him gone. It was only Stalin that acted a shield. Of course, they didn't kill him within a day or so of Stalin's death; it took months, IIRC, and he was a very real rival to Zhukov in the political arena, but the disgust, hatred, and desires to have him killed were there.
