"It's their decision to make, but when I swing my Colossal Blade I rarely have the luxury of pulling my blows." Because really, have you seen the thing? The philosophical arguments aside, it's just physically impossible.

No, it is those who can make the decision to stop, but persist in harming others that can be considered evil."
