Ideon Deaths
Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius
A short historical digression: the words “Caedite eos. Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius” (Latin: “Kill them all. God will know his own,” popularly rendered as, “Kill ‘em all, and let God sort ‘em out.”) are attributed to Abbot Arnold Amaury/Arnaud Amalric before the pacification of Béziers during the Albigensian Crusade — albeit not in the any of numerous contemporary accounts of it.
- Space Runaway Ideon is the all-time heavyweight champion of this. The entire cast die bloody and gruesome deaths, culminating in the complete destruction of the entire universe and everyone in it. Between this series and its predecessor Zambot 3, creator Yoshiyuki Tomino actually earned the nickname “Kill ‘Em All Tomino“.
