I don't care if QB's people slaughter each other back in their homeland; that's their own decision. But if they want to get humans involved, then human values will get mixed in.

Segregation of cultures only work when they are separated. When QB waltz into our world and tell us to get our children killed, he would have to face the consequences.

In short, if he wants the souls of our children, he would have to take them from our cold dead fingers.
Sure, QB's scum. But what he does is all too human. Getting other people to pay for our own privileges is something people do all the time. I mean, you may be wearing a shirt made by some child slave in some sweatshop on another continent. And in some contexts, giving up your life to save others is considered heroic--we hand out medals, rename buildings in heroes' honor, etc.

You know what's scary? If it really came down to it, if the universe really required the death of magical girls so that human life could go on, human culture would...adjust. QB is a mirror, and you're looking at it.
