You do have a point, though the killing Rogue matter is quite... debatable, let's say. First of all, let me mention that I wrote it in a jokingly manner, as I always do with my reviews. I almost never mean to offend anyone, nor the author neither the characters.

To the point, tho. If Rogue's existence is the very reason why other people are dying, can he still be considered completely innocent? Is killing such a person to save many other people really immoral? Clearly, through the actions of Ultear and especially Natsu, Mashima is trying to say that it's not the way to solve things.

Of course, there's also the next issue, they weren't sure that killing Rogue would solve things, that just strengthens the message Mashima is trying to convey.

And I think you're a little unfair to Jellal. Despite the fact that he knows it wasn't fully his fault, he clearly feels guilty and when facing those that were hurt by his evil actions in past, he has no will to defend himself.
