I thought this was a sex thing.
is "not embracing the shadow" a technique? it feels more meek, like the dismissal of techniques. it's not hypocrisy. you just don't understand the synergy.
He didnt say their technique was forbidden he just wants to kill anyone who doesnt practise under him
OP if you don't want to defend your statement you don't have to lol
Feel free to pick your battles, a bunch of salty Zed fans will argue with you till the end of the earth whether you choose to argue or not
Not sure why people are too slow to understand the OP. It seems really clear and obvious.
I know If you kill everyone You cant lose
Thats the best technique
not even a fan of zed. i never even read the lore. but i do know ninja
It really isn't us assuming Zed's way of thinking. If someone has already tried to explain this to you. Think about it. If multiple people interpreted something one way and you interpret it another. I'm sure it is fine to drum up discussion but there must be a reason everyone else had roughly the same interpretation.
The fact remains. "No technique is forbidden" "Kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows" are not mutually exclusive except in YOUR version. We can sort of apply Occam's razor in this situation. "No technique is forbidden" "Kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows" Makes sense the way I see it. According to you, I'm not alone. "No technique is forbidden" "Kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows" Is contradictory the way you see it. Something you are arguing with others about. While writing these lines, the intent was most likely not to make it contradictory, thus the most likely option is that, "No technique is forbidden" "Kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows" Is not contradictory. This isn't exactly how Occam's Razor works but I'm sure you follow my reasoning.
Why is this a discussion? "No technique is forbidden" Means that any technique no matter how dark or soul destroying is allowed. "Kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows" actually reinforces the above line by basically meaning kill the ones who don;t embrace the shadows, meaning kill all who are afraid of it and stuff. It's not contradictory. He doesn't want to kill them for being on the light side or what not. He wants to kill them for NOT being on the dark side. There is a difference. "Kill all ninjas who refuse to embrace the shadows." =/= "Kill all the goody-two-shoes ninjas."
zed's master should have never ostracized him when he so obviously overshadowed the entire clan with shen's defeat. The dishonor he placed in Zed spelled his doom, and the resulting massacre was only natural. https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3SiboKlE2FY/VroWCDW11LI/AAAAAAAAHDs/HdwMASnHvc4/s1600/222-whats-in-the-box.jpg actual feelings
Zed isn't forbidding anything. He just straight up kills those who refuse to accept his technique. He isn't denying any technique but denying those who deny his technique.
