Here’s an idea: a video ranking the war crimes of the various factions in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Which warlords were the greatest villains?

I can help with Dedue. If we count transformation via crest stone, he does that to several people in the army at least in CF (during Tailtean Plains). That is at least 1
@SentaiYamaneko4 ай бұрын
If we were going by all forms of international law (not just the Geneva Convention), then even if Dedue committed a war crime, it wouldn't count. As a refugee from Duscur living in the country that invaded his, he'd be protected under the Refugee Act. So any war crimes he committed, as long as they were done in the service of Faerghus, would be considered self-preservation.

Almost none of your "unecessary damage" examples were warcrimes because none of them were unecessary or excessive. At least according to the definition you read out.

Claude casually commits war crimes every tuesday. There’s this in Three Houses and then in Three Hopes Golden Wildfire he casually commits another war crime in a false surrender. So Claude and War Crimes just kinda go together. The complete package one might say. XD

I hate how every fan is complaining that Edelgard is never called out for her actions and yet most of the fans turn a blind eye to all of horrible things Rhea did, even before the war began. Rhea is like, “Obey me blindly and never question our stupid practices or else I’ll have you executed without a fair trial and be branded as a heathen for the rest of your life.” How much blood was on Rhea and the Church’s hands and how people has the Church of Serios pissed off with their questionable decisions? Even without Edelgard starting the five year war, people are going to say enough is enough and start to revolt against the church anyway. And maybe Edelgard is right about the crest system, so many people like Sylvain, Dorothea, Lysithea, Ingrid and Mercedes have been screwed over by the crest system as some of them are meant to be breeding cattle to birth children with crests for their families while being trapped in a loveless marriage for the rest of their lives, probably with some creep way older than them. So tell me, whose in the right here, Rhea or Edelgard?

Generally, a lot of theories on Paimon reference how all the Gods in Genshin have an alternate name based on the Ars Goetia demons (including the Unknown God, people datamined the game). Though the idea of this Paimon having similar powers and camel ride as the original is really funny

@stevenchoza639111 ай бұрын
Does setting fire to the monastery really count, though? It’s not setting fire to an enemy location, since Alois, Gilbert, and Shamir all work at the monastery and Byleth, who takes over the Church forces due to Rhea being indisposed, clearly gives consent. They’re setting to their own property, is what I’m saying.
@mynedracobirn924511 ай бұрын
Shouldn't Edelgard explicitly aiming to kill Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn count as genocide due to her knowing they're the last ones of their race? Similarly I suppose everyone in Silver Snow and Verdant Winds should get smacked with genocide of the Agarthans.
@33link33310 ай бұрын
There are also Indech and Macuil, both of whom survive CF. Though that is only due to Edelgard not knowing about them, she would 100% hunt them down otherwise. Linhardt even says specifically not to mention Indech to Edelgard due to fear of what she would do with that information. On a completely unrelated note, I vote to absolve the Blue Lions of the crime of flying enemy colours, since they aren't normally part of the offending armies.
@Bryan875Ай бұрын
Edelgard is actually trying to get Rhea to step down through diplomacy, She even asks you what terms she should impose if Rhea actually accepts the surrender that has been demanded of her. The option that gets you support points with her is one that says to strip her of her titles and position of office, not anything like killing her, because Edelgard doesn't actually desire their deaths.

Dedue organizes the use of crest stones to turn his men into demonic beasts in Crimson Flower. That's biological warfare and torture. Of his own troops. Also, a argument can be made that, since the Geneva conventions and Hague convention don't exist in Foldlan, unless they have a similar agreement, then they can't be war crimes. We can still consider them such, but in a legal sense, they aren't.
@lucastacchi4385 Жыл бұрын
to be fair, Edelgard didn't order either Remire Village invasion nor Flayn's or Monica's kidnapping. She wasn't aware Kronya was replacing Monica (which was probably done to keep Edelgard in check, since Kronya could spy on the Emperor to see if she was still on their side) and it is said that the Death Knight was working directly under Thales when Flayn got kidnapped.

I personally wouldn’t classify the Fire Spells as Fire Based weapons; and there’s a good reason for that. I think they’re more like explosives rather than solely incendiary, as they each explode upon impact with the target and do the bulk of the damage, rather than inflicting a Burn condition. You wouldn’t classify a grenade causing something to catch fire after the explosion to be a fire based weapon in warfare.

Didnt Dedue have the Kingdom Soldiers turn into monsters? I guess since theyre neither enemy soldiers nor civillians it might not count? Also how connected was Dimitri to Rhea in CF? Like, I think if Edelgard is responsible for everything those who slither in the dark did it feels kinda inconsistent to let Dimitri off scot free for The Church/Rhea.

I mean, don't the characters *technically* commit genocide against the Agarthans in every route except Azure Moon? Edelgard is planning to wipe them out post-CF (Jeritza/Byleth S-support confirms this as it's them killing Agarthans in Shambhala), and in both SS and VW we basically slaughter everyone in Shambhala under the order of Rhea and Claude/Seteth, with Hubert being an accomplice since he provided the location of Shambhala. The only reason we don't genocide them in AM is because in Azure Moon we accidentally kill all the main members: Thales in his Lord Arundel disguise, Cleobulus as Cornelia, Solon in Part 1, and Kronya also in Part 1. We can therefore probably add genocide to everyone except Dimitri and Dedue (unless you want to argue all Blue Lions are exempt due to recruiting not being necessarily canonical).
