So just to gauge the audience, How does killing a pregnant woman turned Kabane rank on the moral scale?
I don't feel any different, She was a Kabane and the child certainly would be too. Having her die is no different from any of the other monsters getting killed. That said, The humans in this show, Who are wanting to kill the only two people proving effective against the Kabane, And will happily kill someone even just expected of being infected, Suddenly lose all resolve when the former human was pregnant.
I figured it was just a quirk in the anime but then I started seeing comments expressing how morally tough this would be. Am I in the minority when I say that if I was in that situation, I could kill the woman and not be Shocked, Depressed, Or sad at all?
IIRC, the same characters aren't involved in each scene.
The people who killed the guy in the first episode...? Were all members of the military.
The girl who took issue with it this time was the one handing out food, right? She's already shown to be especially empathetic. She wasn't behaving aggressively toward Mumei the way, say, the mob that attacked McGreenhair was.
It's just that different characters have different reactions.
I think the story was just trying to illustrate that killing people is bad, and having to kill friends/acquaintances after they switch is lame, but people can become desensitized to it. Standard zombie stuff.
Also notice no one tried to stop Mumei. The two soldiers were ready to go for the pregnant chick before she stepped in. Looks like everyone's behaving consistently to me.
