Saga Of Tanya The Evil - How to War Time Law

Favourite scene of the whole anime

Not made for children

[afinoxi]

"We're not barbarians who'd ignore wartime law, but we're genius trolls who find loopholes around em."

[a_Lemming]

“Technically not a war crime” tends to be a recurring theme in this show

[niccolo]

Other isekais: "LeT'S maKe a HAreM"

Tanya : "let's go commit slaughter in the name of the fatherland"

[battlesheep]

The slogan of this anime: “no war crimes were committed in the making of this atrocity”

[dakotamahlau-heinert]

“We aren’t the kind of barbarians who’d ignore international wartime law.”
Says the literal child soldier

[MormonSwag]

When someone asks me what Lawful Evil is, she is who I think of

[dark-Angel]

Geneva convention more like geneva suggestion

[brandongalvan]

"That should be a breach of wartime laws! They purposefully made it seem like a little girl was talking in order to make us think that it wasn't real!"
"It was a little girl talking."
"Wat?"

[lain]

Tanya: "Sensei! We're going to bomb you, desu~☆"
Enemy troops: "Haha, oh nooo, she's gonna bomb
Tanya: actually does it
Enemy troops: :o

[mtlacunae]

My little war criminal couldn't possibly be this cute.

[rninKai]

I have a feeling that Tanya is one of the few characters out there who might survive the Warhammer 40k universe.

"Have a kid's voice to make sure they don't believe your warning, THEN NUKE THEM HARD. "
-Sun Tzu Art Of War

[Diego-zzdf]

Something that's hidden behind Tanya's cynical, calculated evil: None of her subordinates, not even the seemingly cute and kind 2nd lieutenant Viktoriya Serebryakov, ever question what she's about to do, only how to do it. Viktoriya didn't care about bombing a factory in the middle of a city, her issue was with giving them a chance to evacuate and take important stuff from the factory. When they attack the civilians of a city with the flimsy technical excuse that they were warned and therefore any that remained did so willingly and could be classified as enemy combatants, Viktoriya comforts one of her comrades telling him that it's OK because they followed their leader and she followed the rules. The only character in the Empire's military that ever questions her on moral grounds, Lt. colonel Erich von Rerugen, eventually comes around to her way of thinking.

[ShinigamiSamaH]

In all fairness, if combatants in the real world could get away with "technically not a war crime" they absolutely would.

[kawaii_milkshake]

Does this mean i can use a kid to warn people before bombing them?

[scouttrooper]

"I'm gonna make the Geneva Convention look like a To-Do list."

[sauloaugustomartino]

Playing by the rules does not equate being a good person:
The Show

[MemeatorMotivatoroftheMemes]

Oh Tanya, making the Kaiser proud I see!

Such a good girl for obeying International Wartime laws, wouldn't want to be the ones viewed as breaking them, now would we?

[rebelord]

I remember the first time I saw this scene I went through so many emotions. First shock from hearing Tanya’s little girl voice. Then confusion wondering why she was doing that. Then joy as I remembered that this is the devil in a little girls body, and a large amount of corpses was about to materialize before being incinerate in a glorious secondary explosion

[erichunsaker]

Ah yes, obey the letter of international law while breaking the spirit of it. I love this show
