The hero has finally subdued the hordes of evil, thwarted the Evil Plan, and subdued the Big Bad in one final showdown. However, the villain couldn't make things simple and die in battle. Now he's helpless at the hero's feet, and… the hero stops. Maybe he throws away his weapon and says, "I'm not like you." Maybe he was about to kill, but his companion shouts something like, "You're better than him!" Maybe the villain taunts them about being not so different. Either way, he refuses to kill. This trope is grounded on the basis that the act of killing is always wrong, no matter who it is directed against or how well-deserved, or even if it is done with the hope of preventing more evil in the future. This can come across as slightly disingenuous if the hero has slaughtered his way through dozens of faceless mooks just to reach the villain, only to hesitate or spare him at the end because "killing is wrong." In such a scenario, only Character Development can make the disparity make sense. From a Doylist perspective, it is also a common justification for maintaining a villain's Joker Immunity. Equally disingenuous is the villain trying to pull this on the hero (If You Kill, You Will Be Just Like Me), drawing a moral equivalency between the people he has killed to achieve his goals, and the minions the hero has killed trying to stop him. True, they've both killed, but most people understand the difference between killing for power or wealth and killing in self-defense. Naturally, with all these difficulties with the trope, some writers find a way to make this argument seem plausible, namely by showing that the villain is similar to the hero by virtue of being a Shadow Archetype. The villain and the hero have a similar past until partaking a morally questionable act put them on the path of becoming a Fallen Hero or Well-Intentioned Extremist, providing evidence the hero is at risk of eventually becoming just like the villain if they take the role of executioner. If a villain clearly deserves death, he may become a self-disposing villain, suffer a Disney Villain Death, be killed by his own men (often henchmen he abused in the past), another evil character, or by the hero's Token Evil Teammate. This way the villain is dead, and the hero gets to walk away scot-free and blameless for the deed. With this trope in play, killing is treated as a special kind of evil. Even things like eternal imprisonment or horrible maiming are treated as more moral than a quick death. Anything really, just so long as the hero doesn't kill. A Technical Pacifist is likely to go along these lines. Revenge Is Not Justice is always invoked in these topics. In rare cases, someone will agree that killing the villain will make them no better than them and still kill them, either because they feel that revenge is too sweet to pass up or they're cynical enough to believe that they have to go down to the level of villains to stop them. It's common to see this in Crime Drama shows where the police have cornered the killer-of-the-week, and a would-be victim/relative of a victim has the killer at gunpoint, ready to kill them; generally, the police officers will opt to use this line in an emotional speech in order to get them to stand down so they can arrest the killer. If they choose to kill, then it's a show of Vigilante Injustice. Contrast with Kill Him Already!. Compare with Save the Villain and Sword over Head. Anti Heroes are exempt. Compare/Contrast Strike Me Down with All of Your Hatred! and Sparing Them the Dirty Work. When this is played literally or when it leads to a Full-Circle Revolution, it can be a case of You Kill It, You Bought It. Often What Measure Is a Mook? gets involved as these dilemmas arise when important baddies are at the heroes mercy but rarely do such sentiments pop up when they are mowing down waves of faceless goonsnote And more often than not the story will play out in a way so that mooks never surrender or are incapacitated. A subtrope of He Who Fights Monsters and Moral Dilemma. See If You Taunt Him, You Will Be Just Like Him for when the stakes involved in this situation are lower. |

During the final arc in Book Two of The Last Son, Superman cites the trope on Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, who has Magneto at her mercy and is more than ready to kill him. Superman tells Wanda of Magneto's past as a Holocaust survivor and how it turned him into what he is, and admits that he probably does deserve to die for his crimes, but also that killing for revenge, justified or not, is a very slippery rope, and she's risking going down the same path as her father if she lets her hatred take over. She ultimately relents and decides to let Magneto live. | |

Parodied in the Sluggy Freelance story arc "That Which Redeems." When demons invade the Dimension of Lame and start eating and killing people for fun, most people still feel that killing demons would make them no better than demons. Unfortunately, when Torg tries to organize a human resistance, he discovers most Dimension of Lame residents think stubbing demons' toes or throwing pies also makes them as bad as demons. Torg ignores their protests and cuts demons into little bits anyway. | |

Played straight in many Disney Animated Canon movies: One notable example is The Lion King: Simba immediately followed this by giving Scar a particularly ironic form of Cruel Mercy, which, although to note, did lead to his death. At the climax of Tarzan, Tarzan has an easy opportunity to off Clayton with his own gun. When Clayton taunts him to go ahead and do it, Tarzan comes to his senses and throws the gun away in disgust. Hans does this to Elsa in Frozen, when he pleads with her not to kill Weaselton's guards in self-defense. This momentarily stops Elsa in her tracks and makes her realize what she has done. However, given Hans's status as The Evil Prince, it is clear that he only does it to get Elsa off-guard and purposely knock her unconscious with a chandelier so he can take her to the castle so as to maintain a good image in the eyes of his subjects. |

In With Strings Attached, John uses this, more or less, to calm Paul down after the Hunter slaughters a bunch of wolves in front of him and Paul struggles not to go berserk on his ass. It works on both Paul and the Hunter; the latter is stunned that people with such power would choose to not use it to kill, and he eventually does a Heel–Face Turn because of it. | |

Schlock Mercenary plays around with this a bit. The protagonists are mercenaries who rarely if ever care about killing or not, but once one of their foes had made it personal by killing one of their friends, and Nick offered to kill him, Kevyn told him that'd take him to a very dark place. Instead, they'd turn him in to the proper authorities... who would, as is tradition, kill him and eat him, little by little. | |

Nick then goes on to say that his experience in the universe taught him about opposites (as he earlier admits, Nega-Nick is what he might have become), and killing Nega-Nick would easily put her on the same dark path as her prime counterpart. | |

Hope for the Heartless: When Avalina attempts to escape from the Horned King's castle, she's attacked by the Mad Pack and only the Horned King's arrival saves her life. After he kills the wolves and collapses, she nearly takes her chance to be free of him, but her heart argues with her head if it's right to leave the monstrous warlord who imprisoned and nearly killed her and yet just saved her to die. Knowing that she couldn't live with herself if she did that and would be as guilty of murder as the Horned King is, she takes him back to the castle to be tended. | |

In The Last Podcast on the Left's series on Richard Chase, "The Vampire of Sacremento", the hosts mention an interview moment where the officer who arrested Chase talks about realizing this. The officer was initially planning to just shoot the family-killing murderer and be done with it, but at the last moment decided to go for the collar because he realized if he shot Richard Chase then he would be like Richard Chase and he did not want to be like that. | |

In Batman: Under the Red Hood, Batman explains that the reason he didn't kill the Joker after the latter killed Jason Todd was that if he went there, he'd never come back. Jason failed to understand the reason behind his statement, though. | |
