The closest thing we see to \'hypocrisy\' is the resurrection of Ozma to save humanity after all the effort to prevent Ozma from being resurrected, but the way Ozma is resurrected smacks of LoopholeAbuse to that mysterious rule about defying death that the gods aren\'t telling the audience about.

I therefore suspect Ozma\\\'s resurrection is the LoopholeAbuse trope, not hypocrisy. We can\\\'t trope LoopholeAbuse, however, because that\\\'s just speculation for now.

That\'s not to say that I disagree with the trope; I suggested a rewrite in the thread below. I think the events that count as \'jerkass\' are as follows:

* The God of Light giving Ozma an impossible task: to unite humanity in peace while knowing that Salem has become an immortal force of destruction, and clearly having a very good idea of what will happen should Ozma and Salem reunite (because he gives Ozma a half-hearted, cryptic warning that serves only to pique Ozma\'s desire to see her again thereby ensuring the consequences he warns about actually happen).
* Forcing Ozma to never be alone by inflicting random humans with the terrible burden he\'s inflicted upon Ozma by forcing Ozma to reincarnate into the bodies of living humans, creating a BodySurf situation where Ozma either steals control of the body from the original owner, or (at best) the two have to learn how to share one body and one life together.

The {{Hypocrite}} trope can only be used if the subject crops up in-universe, it\'s not an audience reaction trope. It needs to be called out in-universe. So, no, the {{Hypocrite}} trope won\'t apply. I would argue against it anyway, as the God of Light applies the same rule on defying death to both gods and humans, and the whole point of humanity\'s creation is to bring the two gods together in unity. When the God of Light reveals Salem manipulated him, he immediately trusts his brother\'s word, apologises for his error, kills Ozma to correct his mistake, and then stands united with his brother for every remaining scene the pair are seen together in.
