#Thou shalt not kill season 3 cast code#

In one arc the villain is revealed to have altered the past of Ichigo's friends and family, making them believe him to be their friend and turning on Ichigo when he attacks him. Renji still lives, but Ichigo was able to put the thoughts behind him and kill him if necessary. During his fight with Renji, he gets over it. It's debateable whether Ichigo avoids killing because he's following a code, or because he just doesn't feel like it.

This is somewhat jarring when compared with Fake Karakura Town, where both of the Espada's Token Good Teammates are cut down without anybody batting an eye. Oddly enough, Ichigo didn't kill a single Arrancar in his invasion of Hueco Mundo, at least not consciously he let Dordoni and Grimmjow live, his Superpowered Evil Side took out Ulquiorra, and the mooks he cut down were revealed to be fakes generated by another arrancar.The fact that it was someone who had shown up simply to try and torture her for no reason other than spite is just icing on the cake. Unfortunately, she tends to believe that this makes her a burden on her friends, despite that she can reject reality to the point where she can heal a corpse with half of their brains blown out. Inoue Orihime not only hasn't harmed anyone seriously since her powers first emerged, but can't due to her personality. In Bleach, most of the main cast members who aren't dead at least try to follow this, save for when fighting run-of-the-mill Hollows.It appears to trend towards not killing people as he is very reluctant to use any form of firearm, and when pushed to use one will shoot at objects rather than people.

#Thou shalt not kill season 3 cast code#

Roger Smith in The Big O lives by a self-imposed code of ethics.

He has only had to explicitly forbid his students from killing humans twice: once before they went up against Gastro, and the other to prevent Nagisa from murdering Takaoka.

In Assassination Classroom, everyone except for Korosensei is off-limits for Class 3-E.

It is less nice than it sounds, as he wants them alive to remove their 'light' and soul, turning them into living but unconscious, twisted husks.

Oddly enough the Big Bad Kaiyanwang enforces this trope on his minions regarding humans: since his final objective is to gather again all the light which was once unique and was spread among all humanity when the humanized Sanzhiyan and hominids bred, he doesn't want any of them to die.

Still, if the situation calls for it or against mooks, he will resort to lethal force.

Yakumo is usually merciful and a Nice Guy, so it is very rare for him to actually kill monsters, even those who just tried to kill him.

It makes for an interesting political subtext and one that might be deemed as unacceptable for television nowadays though the problem I had has nothing to do with the politics, rather in the simplistic way they're presented. They're not the old style mythical ' we don't hurt women and kids guv ' type of criminal - they're portrayed as out and out psychos very much in keeping with the character of the show, but it's revealed they've been treated rather leniently b the authorities in the past and this compassion from the state as had no effect upon them. But would it have ? We all know that hindsight is the best sight of all and perhaps the episode doesn't focus enough on dilemma Hskins faces It's also interesting how cold cruel and callous the robbers Wands and Morris are. The episode ends with Jack Regan whining that if Haskins had only listened to hi advice the outcome would have been very different. There is a slight problem with the episode and that is that things are painted a bit too simplistic. A bank is raided and the armed robbers realising they're trapped take some hostages and it's left up to DCI Frank Haskins to try and resolve the situation. One can' help thinking Graham would have been more at home in Hollywood writing thrillers This episode Thou Shalt Not Kill is easily seen as being inspired by The 1972 Olympic Massacre in Munich. Perhaps these aren't criticisms but it's noticeable how different some of the writing style is from episodes by other writers. Graham also scripted THE SWEENEY film from 1977 and that was more akin to a political thriller with the characters from the shoe clumsily shoe horned in. Nightmare is one of the most violent pieces of television ever made in Britain featuring a drugs cache and the IRA. Supersnout sees some West German detectives find out how their opposite numbers in Britain operate, though it's slightly let down by failed attempts at humour. His episodes aren't usually ones that are simplistic tales of the Flying Squad catching slags doing a blag - they're often of political importance. Ranald Graham is something of an auteur when it come to writing for THE SWEENEY.
