Some points I’d like to add:

1. Johndoe-m9 is almost certainly trolling about Ciaccolata

2. The Pillarmen(Pillarpeople?) DID attack Kars first; whether his idea was bad or not, he was acting in self-defense for the most part. I doubt he had to kill EVERYONE he did, though.

3. There is no evidence that Kars was king among the Pillarpeople. Wamuu refers to him As ‘Lord Kars’ because Kars raised him and likely demanded respect. When Kars is referee to as ‘leader of the Pillarmen’, most sources are referring to the Pillarmen as the 4-man group of villains from part 2, not the race as a whole. Nowhere in the manga or anime does it state Kars was leader of his whole race.

4. Now, Kars’s whole plan for the future, I’m split down the middle for. On one hand, it was technically unnecessary for him to elevate his race with the Stone Mask, especially as it involved certain risks. He also seemed unnecessarily belligerent towards humans in general. On the other hand, I don’t remember it being stated that Kars wanted to kill all humans. I think he just wanted them to submit to him as ruler, which with an IQ of 400, IIRC, seems pretty reasonable to me. Also, the Pillarmen don’t need to feed once they use the perfected Stone Mask, with the Red Stone of Aja in it, so that wouldn’t have been a problem. So in conclusion to this point, while Kars did perform technically unnecessary actions that would likely lead to the killing of humans(which considering how similar they are to Pillarmen, seems unethical of him), that is very close to what humans do to plants and animals: unnecessarily using them to make our lives admittedly much more comfortable, but still unnecessarily.

5. Lucy had it coming.

6. None of us should be calling each other names. It makes all of us look bad, and certainly won’t make your opponent come around to your side.

7. Kars is hot AF and I’d let him take over the world.
