History BlueAndOrangeMorality / AnimeAndManga

** Shinkouhyou does'nt seem to care about who win the conflict between Taikoubou, Bunchou, and Dakki, and don't show concern over the many [[KickTheDog evil actions]] the latter have comitted. He even talk in a rather casual and friendly manner no matter whichever of them he is adressing. His only involvement in the events is usually to give a little push in one direction or another to make things more interesting to watch. And yet, he sometimes personally step in and act for things like [[spoiler: trying to prevent the sons of the emperor from leaving the capital]], not because he want to help their oponent, but because it goes against his sense of aesthetics. Considering that he dress like a Pierrot, his "sense of beauty" must make for a very strange moral scale.
** And then there are [[spoiler: [[ThePreccusor the first people]] [[GreaterScopeVilain Jyoka]] and Fukki. The former claim to like earth and it's inhabitants like her own childrens, since she is the one who made them into what they are by manipulating the course of History, and yet had no qualms causing the end of the world and [[RestartTheWorld restarting it]] a unknown numbers of times in the hope of making it like their destroyed home world]]. The latter seem extremely detached about things, and while he made a plan to stop her, had no problem letting her do it several times until she had weakened enough and earth sennins have grown strong enough to put the plan in motion. When [[ForGreatJustice Nentou]] call him out on this, he answer that it is not a matter of justice or good.

* [[Characters/RanmaOneHalfShampoo Shampoo]] from ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' is a sweet and caring girl, who was raised in a society of warrior women and thus sees nothing wrong with chasing someone to the literal end of Earth to murder them just for defeating her under certain circumstances or for being in her way, savagely beating up a childhood friend for being annoying (in her defense, Mousse is ''incredibly'' annoying, not just to her), or cooking a random piglet (through she wouldn't do it if she ''knows'' it's a pet, no matter if the owner is someone she knows as a romantic rival). She slowly starts getting outsider values as time goes on... As in, she still considers them silly (and will still murder Akane if she's sure she can get away with it) but at least made the effort to respect the values of the country she currently lives in.

** Hisoka's moral code begins and ends with [[BloodKnight fighting.]] He isn't concerned with good vs. evil or right vs. wrong or even powerful vs. weak (although he certainly factors ''that'' axis in) so much as finding and/or cultivating [[InLoveWithYourCarnage opponents strong, skilled or interestingly weird enough]] to potentially give him the fight of his life, and lives for the satisfaction of killing them down the line should he best them. The world for him divides this way: [[FoeYay Worthy Foes]] (to whom he is helpful and fairly, even surprisingly, polite to...[[TheGadfly in his own way]]) vs. Unworthy Foes (to whom he's [[{{Troll}} not polite, like, at all:]] so very, horrifically dead if they push his disgust, anger or bloodlust ''even slightly'') vs. Rocks (just about everybody else -- they only wind up dead if they become unlucky, inconvenient or really, really tedious: NothingPersonal) vs. [[EldritchAbomination Nopes]] (things that are just ''too'' many shades of dangerously alien for him to find any merit or fun in messing with -- rare, but it happens). Treating him as both FauxAffablyEvil and ChaoticEvil/ ChaoticNeutral (dependent on whether he likes you, and that is subject to change without notice) are the safest things to do, but...they're not entirely accurate.

* Invoked by Cuuko in ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan''. She claims that being an alien [=/=] [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Great Old One]] means that human morality doesn't apply to her. Mahiro doesn't buy it, because she and any other Mythos entity he's met have shown all too human behavior. She said this when Mahiro stopped her from [[DudeShesLikeInAComa trying to strip (and go further with)]] a HeroicBSOD-ing Nyarko in public.

* ''Manga/HunterXHunter''

* ''Anime/{{Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita}}'' is premised on the study of the Blue/Orange morality of the fairies, who themselves are unable to produce their most and least favorite things (candy, radio waves), while conversely afflicting havoc on humanity with what they consider to be trivial assistance or entertainment.

* The Angels from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

* Mercurians in ''Manga/{{Gunnm}}'' are the descendants of the {{nanomachine}} plague left on the planet by a terrorist half a millennium ago. They've since developed into the civilization so utterly alien to the humanity's way of thinking that their ''ambassador'' (or at least the entity supposed to contact the Solar System at large) turned out to be a 20 meter tall killing machine with a phallic-shaped WaveMotionGun in the right place. Fortunately there ''[[WorldOfBadass were]]'' places where such "[[AssInAmbassador Ambassadors]]" could be dealt with.
** And then there's the whole [[SendInTheClones Desty Nova bunch]]. [[MadScientist An inconcievably brilliant scientist who's equally inconcievably insane]], hellbent on ''[[ForScience scientifically determining]]'' what's good, what's bad, and how to put this knowledge to use. The scariest thing about him (or ''[[SendInTheClones them]]'' sometimes) is that he's getting close to ''succeeding''.

* ''Manga/{{Parasyte}}'': Parasites eat humans because that's how they survive as a species, and they feel no more guilt about killing the sapient lifeforms who serve as their prey than humans do about eating livestock such as pigs and cows. They are mostly incapable of emotion, so whenever they explain the reasons behind their actions it's very cold-blooded and matter-of-fact. Furthermore, each individual of their species will do anything to ensure its own survival, and they do not understand the human concept of altruism. Migi is frequently baffled by what he sees as irrational behavior and thoughts from his host Shinichi, and considers Shinichi's objection to plans he suggests--like using his classmates as human shields in order to defeat a hostile parasite, or even just pickpocketing money to purchase a cab ride to safety--to be a misguided case of HonorBeforeReason.
* Devils from ''Manga/{{Dorohedoro}}''.
* [[TheEmperor Amaterasu dis Grand Grees Eydas IV]] from ''Manga/TheFiveStarStories'' was ''very'' weird right from his early childhood, and it only got worse with age. Some of his deeds and decisions could be only justified by the OmniscientMoralityLicense he's got because of being a PhysicalGod, and even that only by a big stretch.
* TheFairFolk from ''Manga/TheAncientMagusBride'' embody this trope as they live by there own different rules than humans. This is especially true of main character Elias who does not understand emotions, at least beyond the core logic of all being's emotions, and has a mindset towards Chise that takes a while to figure out. While he understands the idea of good acts, he's an AntiHero on a good day and a NominalHero at worst because he can't comprehend their point; the only thing he genuinely tries to protect with earnest is Chise, and even that's complicated when it's revealed [[spoiler: he sees her as a curiosity he cannot understand, and only took her in as an apprentice to see the results rather than out of any compassion. Even after the two have shared genuine compassion, his urge to save her means he's perfectly willing to discard the life of another without a moment's hesitation, because they're not Chise and thus below his concern.]]

** Believe or not ''Goku'' shows very strong shades of this sort of morality throughout ''Manga/DragonBall'' and ''Anime/DragonBallZ''. Considering Goku is a [[BloodKnight Saiyan]], it's in his blood to love fighting and combat, and that love for fighting sometimes come off as a negative to Earthlings, gods, and other aliens (as well as the show's fanbase). He is often regarded with unease whenever he shows such excitement for battle, with one of Goku's friends even calling him a monster for being so excited about a fight when the entire planet hangs on the brink of destruction. Also, his love of fighting often causes them to make decisions that many think of as bad, or even stupid. Moments that have brought up this accusation include Goku wanting to defeat Piccolo by the tournament rules, [[WorthyOpponent sparing Vegeta's life after their battle just so that he could fight him again]], [[GambitRoulette sending his own son to fight Cell, gambling that Gohan would awaken his hidden power just in time during his struggling fight and ultimately win]], [[HonorBeforeReason giving a Senzu Bean to Cell so that Gohan gets a fair match against him, rather than a better chance to win and save the world]] and [[ParentalNeglect abandoning his family and friends to train a child he just met so that child could become more powerful and protect the earth when Goku dies]]. Further evidence of this is in the movie ''Battle Of Gods'' when Goku's morality is questioned because of his love of fighting. Likewise, as shown in ''Super'', while his nonchalance towards the other universes is one thing, his inability to understand Krillin's trauma, when faced with illusions of their past enemies (and Tambourine, Frieza, and Super Buu, in particular) highlights this alien mindset further.
*** ''Every'' pure blooded Saiyan has this sort of morality, as it is in their nature to strive for a great battle no matter what the risk and such a behavior and mentality like that is questioned by several characters, good '''and''' bad, throughout ''Dragon Ball Z''. In fact, Goku is a much more benign example than the rest of his Saiyan counterparts due to the head trauma he sustained as a toddler and being raised morally by Grandpa Gohan. The only character who probably has more of an "alien" view of how the world is perceived than Goku is Vegeta; considering that his desperation for a great battle has the been the catalyst for ''every single arc in Dragon Ball Z occurring.'' There is a reason why some fans consider him TheLoad. However, with his increasing amounts of CharacterDevelopment post-Buu Saga, especially in ''Dragon Ball Super'', Vegeta is moving away from his primarily Saiyan mindset, which serves to all the more highlight Goku's continued alien mindset, such as at the beginning of the Universe Survival Arc, the latter not understanding the former's newfound desire to stay at Bulma's side, now that she's pregnant with Bra. Overall, ''Super'' borders on deconstructing Goku's mindset, in the face of other fighters who've themselves changed, especially to Western audiences who grew up with his altered characterization in the original Funimation dub.
** WordOfGod from Creator/AkiraToriyama is that Saiyans as a whole have a strange view of relationships and procreation as well. They don't generally have an idea of marriage, outside of royal bloodlines, and don't mate for romance but simply for procreation. The most Saiyans tend to feel about their mates and children is close friendship and battle companions, but not romantic, paternal, or maternal love as an Earthling understands it. This is why Goku is a relatively poor parent to Gohan and Goten and husband to Chi-Chi[[note]]Goku ''has'' repeatedly said that he loves Chi-Chi, Gohan, and later Goten, but his fighting spirit almost always takes priority unless they would be put in enough danger that Goku doesn't think they can handle it[[/note]]. It is very rare for a Saiyan to feel genuine love for their mates and children... which is why Vegeta's relationship with Bulma and their son Trunks is so much more special, as was Bardock and Gine's.
* Izaya Orihara in ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' works by an series of rules that seem to default to "I'm a troll" but have deeper and longer-reaching motivations. His morality seems to be guided simply by how boring something is.

* The main character of ''Manga/FrankenFran'' believes that life, ''any'' kind of life, is better than death, and thus seeks to save people's lives [[FateWorseThanDeath even if they'd prefer being dead afterwards.]] Not to mention that she's pretty nonchalant towards violence and murder in general. Her sister Victoria isn't much better - Fran was built as a surgeon, but she was built as a bodyguard... and so [[DisproportionateRetribution she considers killing someone the proper answer under all circumstances]]. She likes to tell Fran off on her beliefs, but Fran isn't exactly in the wrong when she calls Victoria on ''hers''.

* Invoked by Cuuko in ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan''. She claims that being a Alien [=/=] [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Great Old One]] means that human morality doesn't apply to her. Mahiro doesn't buy it, because she and any other Mythos entity he's met have shown all too human behavior. She said this when Mahiro stopped her from [[DudeShesLikeInAComa trying to strip (and go further with)]] a HeroicBSOD-ing Nyarko in public.

** Similarly, [[spoiler: Kuyo Suoh]]. She (and the entity behind her) is simply so alien in personality that she makes Nagato [[spoiler: and Ryoko]] look like normal human beings... to the point that [[spoiler: when Kuyo makes her own attempt on Kyon's life, it's ''Ryoko'' who saves him.]]
* Vampires in ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' (more the anime than the manga) are alluded to having their own set rules and motivations, this is what made the Freaks so dangerous since they were artificial vampires and thus had vampire powers but human desires and instincts. Vampires such as Incognito and Alucard seem to have taken human masters in part for this reason.
* This plays a large role in ''Anime/HeroicAge'', in which the "Iron Race" (humanity) doesn't understand the values of the "Silver Race" that is warring against them, especially considering that they are {{Straw Vulcan}}s who reject/transfer emotions to a few chosen individuals. The [[PoorCommunicationKills lack of understanding]] that [[spoiler:the SR have no emotional attachments (to home planets) while humanity does]], causes the SR to wonder why the humans would try to take back their home planet and then try to conquer the homes of the [[{{Mooks}} "Bronze Race"]] and SR, and [[spoiler:causes the human military to attack what they assumed was a well defended BR home world when it was a [[KickTheDog weakly defended mass nursery]], and attack the SR homeworld which was mostly abandoned, opening themselves up for an ambush]].

** [[FriendToAllLivingThings Gon Freecs]] has distinct shades of this. He isn't TheUnfettered, because he is guided by a strong sense of right and wrong, but as the counterfeiter he hangs out with finally realizes, "He doesn't care about the good and the bad." Mostly it's enough to peg him as ChaoticGood, but that doesn't really do him justice. Neither the readers nor the other characters can really predict where his moral sense will take him, and he surprises even his best friend (a child assassin) a lot. Notable events include:
*** A serial killer once trained him and Killua, and he cheerfully allowed the person to go free afterward even after it was pointed out that this would cause more young women to get eaten, because "he helped us."
*** After one of the Phantom Troupe is killed by Kurapika, Gon and Killua are captured by his best friend, who suspects them of involvement and rants, in tears, about [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes how much it hurts]] to have lost his blowing-stuff-all-to-hell partner. And ''Gon responds with sudden fury,'' because he had assumed that the Troupe's members could do such horrible things because they didn't understand how much it hurt to lose people, which meant he couldn't hold it against them, but if they ''can'' and still do it they're so incomprehensibly evil he wants to '''end''' them.
*** Tonpa admits how much he enjoys watching people fail miserably and die taking the hunter exams, which infuriates everyone else... except Gon, who continues treating him like a friend because he inadvertently helped them with his cowardice.

*** During the Chimera Ants arc Gon's main objective is avenging [[spoiler: Kite]], and when Neferpitou, the ant responsible for [[spoiler: Kite's]] condition, begs him for more time to heal Komugi, an innocent blind girl caught in the middle of the whole conflict, Gon flies into a rage over Pitou mutilating his beloved mentor yet showing compassion for someone else, and completely disregards Killua's feelings about the situation. He gives Pitou less time than requested, reduces the amount of time for every distraction, and even threatens to ''kill'' the mortally wounded Komugi if Pitou tries to make a run for it. Gon only lets Pitou heal her after Killua reminds him that Pitou is the only chance he has at restoring [[spoiler:Kite]], and not out of any concern for Komugi's well-being. It's quite possibly the ultimate example of how Gon's morality is derived from his own experiences instead of any traditional sense of right and wrong.
** The Chimera Ants enter this territory from time to time, as well. Though they're largely just evil. Although most of the ants are evil and some are good, the king, Meruem, is a master of this trope. All the experiences he goes through continually shape his moral code which fluctuates wildly through the arc, turning him from what appears to be a [[Anime/DragonBallZ Cell]] rip-off into one of the most deep and interesting villains in Shonen manga. And yet he always seems to have his code stuck somewhere in the Blue and Orange territory.
** Hisoka's moral code begins and ends with [[BloodKnight fighting]]. He isn't concerned with good vs evil or right vs wrong or even powerful vs weak (although he certainly factors ''that'' axis in) so much as finding and/or cultivating [[InLoveWithYourCarnage opponents strong, skilled or interestingly weird enough]] to potentially give him the fight of his life, and lives for the satisfaction of killing them down the line should he best them. The world for him divides this way: [[FoeYay Worthy Foes]] (to whom he is helpful and fairly, even surprisingly, polite to... [[TheGadfly in his own way]]) vs Unworthy Foes (to whom he's [[{{Troll}} not polite to, like, at all]]: so very, horrifically dead if they push his disgust, anger or bloodlust ''even slightly'') vs Rocks (just about everybody else -- they only wind up dead if they become unlucky, inconvenient or really, really tedious: NothingPersonal) vs [[EldritchAbomination Nopes]] (things that are just ''too'' many shades of dangerously alien for him to find any merit or fun in messing with -- rare, but it happens). Treating him as both FauxAffablyEvil and ChaoticEvil/ ChaoticNeutral (dependent on whether he likes you, and that is subject to change without notice) are the safest things to do, but... They're not entirely accurate.
** At first blush, the entire [[TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether Zoldyk family]] seems to share a fairly LawfulEvil, ConsummateProfessional code -- the kind you'd pretty much expect from a family of highly pragmatic and secluded assassins. It colours everything they do, from TrainingFromHell kinds of ToughLove to a very flexible outlook on violence and a strict approach to following good business practice. But, the more you get to know about them, the [[SugarAndIce weirder]] and [[{{Tsundere}} more emotional]] their relationships [[{{Yandere}} get]] at the core driving them all. And, the less of a convincing "typical moral spectrum" they therefore show, even for the deeper, darker, more Evil parts of the pool. Killua is the most normal of the lot, thanks to wanting to branch out and engage with the wider world in a non-commercial, (mostly) unstabby way... Yet, he is his own brand of off-the-wall, too. And, then there's Illumi. Oh, boy; he takes the family weirdness to places even the rest won't willingly go -- [[spoiler: he's after gaining personal power at any price... when the rest of the family is basically about charging others a mint to kill people over whatever power plays their clients have going on, not their own personal power trips.]]
* ''Anime/{{Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita}}'' is premised on the study of the Blue/Orange morality of the fairies, who themselves are unable to produce their most and least favorite things (candy, radio waves); while conversely afflicting havoc on humanity with what they consider to be trivial assistance or entertainment.

* MadScientist Bondrewd the Novel from ''Manga/MadeInAbyss'' is guilty of some of the most revolting and horrific acts in the story, yet seems to bear no malice or hatred towards anyone. Instead he expresses immense respect and gratitude towards every single person he's sacrificed in his research, even making a point of remembering all of their names. However, he's also saved countless lives as his research has led to some of the most important advancements and inventions in his field, arguably making him a ScienceHero as well. To Bondrewd there is no greater good than progress, and anyone who contributes to his progress should be commended. Whether they're actually willing participants in said research matters little. He doesn't even have any issues [[spoiler: turning his adoptive daughter Prushka into a barely living mass of tissue in a can]], instead approaching the deed with his usual affable optimism and commending her for assisting him with his experiment.
* Most of Eclipse Drivers in ''Manga/MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaForce'' show this symptoms. Aside they must kill in order to survive, none of them are care with other infectees and other living things but themselves or their family. However, the most worse case is the Hückebein family. With exception for their [[VillainTakesAnInterest affection]] to Thoma, [[TheUnfettered they're seems have little to no problems to doing criminal activity to get what they want]], as well as no regards to other lives. Additionally, [[AppealToForce they seem to view themselves above both civilization and society]], and appears to strongly believe in MightMakesRight.

* The Pillar Men Whammu and Esidisi in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency'' have as much regard for human life as most people have for insects, other than the occasional human warrior who knows how to use the [[KiManipulation Hamon]] (which is their greatest weakness). Evident in the moment they walked through and killed [[spoiler:Mark]] on ''accident'' and didn't even notice him.

** Kaworu to some extent. By appearances, he comes off as simply AmbiguouslyGay for Shinji, but things become more complicated with the revelation he doesn't seem to conform to human definitions of love or sexuality. He also seems to have a genuine admiration and respect for humanity and its achievements, despite [[spoiler:attempting to cause TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt]]. [[Expy A lot of Kaworu's traits come from]] Mark Twain's ''Literature/TheMysteriousStranger'' (see Literature section). It's where we get moments like [[FanNickname Evil Manga Kaworu]].

* The Pillar Men in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' have little to no regard for human life, other than the occasional human warrior who knows how to use the [[KiAttacks Ripple]] (which is their greatest weakness), but their leader, Kars, will go out of his way to not land on a patch of flowers, or kill some teenagers so they don't run over a puppy. Unfortunately, he later [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope Jumps Off The Slippery Slope]] even for ''their'' standards. Whether this was the mindset of the entire Pillar Man race is uncertain. They apparently lived in relative harmony with the rest of life on Earth and each other. They even tried to kill Kars because they believed his ambitions endangered all life on the planet.

* ''CellsNotAtWork'': The more experienced Macrophages could be described as having this, as [[spoiler:they are very much believers in “survival of the fittest” and insist that nonworking cells must eventually be disposed of]]. Yet their attitude is less about [[TheSocialDarwinist social Darwinism]] than basic pragmatism: the human body is a land of finite resources, and there is no practical justification for continuing to feed and care for cells that are incapable of doing, or simply have no intention of doing, their jobs. It’s important to remember that while the cells may be portrayed as human, they are decidedly not, and this is how things are supposed to work in the human body.

** WordOfGod from Akira Toriyama is that Saiyans as a whole have a strange view of relationships and procreation as well. They don't generally have an idea of marriage, outside of royal bloodlines, and don't mate for romance but simply for procreation. The most Saiyans tend to feel about their mates and children is close friendship and battle companions, but not romantic, paternal, or maternal love as an Earthling understands it.

Further evidence of this is in the movie ''Battle Of Gods'' when Goku's morality is questioned because of his love of fighting. Likewise, as shown in ''Super'', while his nonchalance towards his two deaths is one thing, his inability to understand Krillin's trauma, when faced with illusions of their past enemies (and Tambourine, Frieza, and Super Buu, in particular) highlights this alien mindset further.

* ''Anime/DragonBallZBattleOfGods'': Beerus, the BigBad of the film, overlaps this with JerkassGods. He's the God of Destruction, it's his ''job'' to destroy worlds so it makes sense he doesn't see anything morally wrong with his actions. It's actually established that old planets have to be destroyed so new planets can be born; the problem with Beerus is that he acts independently of the Kaioshins (even worse now that there's only two of them left), chooses what planets that he will destroy at his leisure, and he can and will destroy even important planets without a second thought if he's [[DisproportionateRetribution irritated enough]]. ''Super'' introduces his twin brother Champa, the God of Destruction of Universe 6, has the same type of morality and it's implied that these two are actually ''mellow'' by God of Destruction standards.

Although most of the ants are evil and some are good, the king, Meruem, is a master of this trope. All the experiences he goes through continually shape his moral code which fluctuates wildly through the arc, turning him from what appears to be a [[Manga/DragonBall Cell]] rip-off into one of the most deep and interesting villains in Shonen manga. And yet he always seems to have his code stuck somewhere in the Blue and Orange territory.

* ''Anime/{{Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita}}'' is premised on the study of the Blue/Orange morality of the fairies, who themselves are unable to produce their most and least favorite things (candy, radio waves); while conversely afflicting havoc on humanity with what they consider to be trivial assistance or entertainment.

** And then there's the whole [[SendInTheClones Desty Nova bunch]]. [[MadScientist An inconceivaly brilliant scientist who's equally inconcevably insane]], hellbent on ''[[ForScience scientifically determining]]'' what's good, what's bad, and how to put this knowledge to use. The scariest thing about him (or ''[[SendInTheClones them]]'' sometimes) is that he's getting close to ''succeed''.

* MadScientist Bondrewd the Novel from ''Manga/MadeInAbyss'' is guilty of some of the most revolting and horrific acts in the story, yet seems to bear no malice or hatred towards anyone. Instead he expresses immense respect and gratitude towards every single person he's sacrificed in his research, even making a point of remembering all of their names. However, he's also saved countless lives as his research has led to some of the most important advancements and inventions in his field, arguably making him a ScienceHero as well. To Bondrewd there is no greater good than progress, and anyone who contributes to his progress should be commended. Whether they're actually willing participants in said research matters little. He doesn't even have any issues [[spoiler: turning his adoptive daughter Prushka into a barely living mass of tissue in a can]], instead approaching the deed with his usual affable optimism, and commending her for assisting him with his research.

* [[MadScientist Bondrewd the Novel]], [[TheAce The Lord of Dawn]] in ''Manga/MadeInAbyss'' is essentially a second coming of Desty Nova, though with a somewhat different field of study. Their charisma, [[MagicKnight surprizing fighting ability]] and resilience, as well as [[TheUnfettered numerous atrocities]] in their wake are still the same, though.
