Jean - yes, he's killed humans before - both Marleyans and other Eldians. The former he justified to himself, the latter he did in order to stop Eren. He still regrets both immensely, but he can and will if it comes down to it.

Bertholdt - oh god, yes. Both directly, in Marco's case and the various scouts he annihilated in Shiganshina + the city he blew up to test his transformation into the Colossal, and indirectly by knocking down the wall to let Pure Titans in. Again, he regrets it, but he can and will if it comes down to protecting the people he cares about.

Marco - Capable of it, yes. Willing to go through with it in any case? No. He would have died in the Uprising arc because I don't think he would have been able to kill anyone if it came down to it. Possibly in extreme cases, like if he became an MP member and didn't leave or if it was a stranger threatening him or someone he cared about.

But more than likely he's just going to let himself get killed.

Exarch - for gloriousrikkaidai . Yes in general, I don't think he wants to kill people but he could justify it to himself, especially if they're transformed and you can't reverse it. Technically he doomed an entire timeline, and while he obviously regrets it he doesn't know they ended up enduring. If Summer was threatened? Without even thinking about it

He is a good guy, but he is 5 degrees off being the bad guy/Emet in archetype

Post 5.3 Raha - also yes, though less likely to do so. He promised Summer he would stop trying to self-sacrifice himself for her, and I think he'd really only kill in order to defend others. But he makes every effort to be nonlethal outside the blasphemies. Again, if Summer was threatened I think he'd do it no question, but they're both trying not to be

-- the people they were in Shadowbringers, to an extent.

I like how you just knew I'd be in here askin' if you didn't already do it

:3c

Interesting scenario for you to chew on -

We just replayed the scene in Thavnair with Ahewann and the panicked people transforming and I believe G'raha is the first person in that cutscene to arrive at "we have to kill the transformed people to save the others"

Like, everyone else is still kind of just aimlessly freaking out and he's the first to really say concretely "okay so those people are going to die and here's what the rest of you need to do"

yup! he's also the one who starts directing people in ahewann's absence

he doesn't even know for sure at that point that they can't be transformed back

but he does know if they're not stopped, more people *will die

so it becomes a very needs of the many situation for him

And I found that really, like...I mean obviously he's in Exarch mode at that point but there was something about his straight up willingness to NOT consider any other possible option that had me like oh well then

But yeah, an interesting point toward the capacity to kill thing and the bit I wanted to pose for you to chew on is, how much of that did he do for the people and how much did he do for Summer specifically

Because he's also the one who gets you out of the situation and sends you to palaka's stand

MAN...

like obviously we know why G'raha pulls out his Exarch mode there so the point isn't to try to rewrite game history so much as just presenting a kind of AU of the circumstances

but it sure would be interesting if, with the suddenness of Ahewann getting bitten in half doing something a hero would do and more potential for that to happen all the time springing up all around them, G'raha went a little batshit on Solving The Problem
