Moral Dissonance is when they don\'t notice a contradiction in their actions


* In ''DigimonTamers'', this is implied to be the most effective way for Digimon to increase their power. Most of the heroes don't like doing it because it's, well, [[MoralDissonance not very heroic]]. In addition to increasing their power, it also seems to give the Digimon [[MegaManning access to their fallen opponent's attacks]], though that might be because Beelzemon was powerful, Leomon was powerful, or just [[AWizardDidIt a side effect of shiny new superpowers]].

* In DragonQuestVII's Dharma Temple chapter, there was a sword which stole the souls of anyone it killed. The monsters who owned used it as payment in several [[DealWithTheDevil deals with the devil]] where a human would harvest souls for them in exchange for a promise, usually of freedom from imprisonment. They never really kept any of the promises, of course.

*In ''PowerRangers,'' soul theft typically leaves the victim an EmptyShell, and is [[NoOntologicalInertia undone with the death of]] the MonsterOfTheWeek (or the breaking of whatever item was used for soul theft or storage.)

A Great Weapon.Weapon can ''choose'' whether or not to consume the soul of the victim, and even manipulate the souls in other ways (one once even being used as a SoulJar for the wielder to fake death.)




to:

*In ''KamenRiderKiva,'' members of monster races steal LifeEnergy, but the way the Wolfen race does it looks a lot more like this. When the victim is struck down by the Wolfen's claws, the body falls and a translucent image of the victim is still standing, rightfully scared and confused... until it's devoured. [[spoiler: Jiro]], you're officially [[NightmareFuel scarier]] than the BigBads. ''They'' only kill you.

It is rightly feared among vampires, which is why one of the Traditions in ''Requiem'' expressly forbids it, though unlike ''Masquerade'', there's nothing that says you can't just ''kill'' another vampire without diablerizing him.

Chrono Crusade example



to:

* The contracts in ChronoCrusade. Chrono even flatly states in the first chapter "Her [Rosette's] soul belongs to '''me'''." However, unlike most examples, Chrono doesn't take the entire soul in one gulp, he just drains what he needs as he needs it. Also, both of the girls whose soul ended up being slowly devoured to fuel his powers/life offered their soul to him of their own free will. He also fell in love with the contractors, cuing much angst as he was slowly killing the ones he loved just by ''existing''.
** Aion's contractors (which were crystallized by Fiore until he needed them) might be this, or type 2B.
