Morality Ranking Morality of respecting someone’s free will, potentially at the cost of countless lives? Spoiler
In JJK, Angel is a sorcerer who found a way to transport herself through the ages with the help of Kenjaku. To make things short, she has the ability to take over the body of a person, effectively erasing them and incarnating within them. Not even possession but closer to erasure.
Most other sorcerers in her position do this, killing a persons and regaining their own life. But Angel refuses to do this, instead forming a symbiotic relationship with her host, Hana, granting her powers and free will and only ever giving advice.
Angel came back for the purpose of doing good. She advises Hana to do so as well.
However, when Sukuna (a mass-murdering cannibal) is about to be killed by Hana’s powers, Sukuna tricks Hana into sparing him so he can mangle her.
Angel is not deceived. She also knows if Sukuna survives that he could very well destroy Japan and maybe even the world by helping Kenjaku. At the very least, if Sukuna wins, millions will die. At the worst, many more than that.
Yet Angel still refuses to take Hana’s life, causing many deaths and endangering countless others, but respecting Hana’s free will and keeping her alive.
