Future Zeno, also known as Zeno from the Future Timeline, can be argued to be amoral rather than explicitly evil.
While he doesn't possess malicious intent or actively seek to cause harm, his actions demonstrate a profound lack of empathy and responsibility. He is depicted as willing to erase entire universes due to simple dissatisfaction, as evidenced by the Dragon Ball Wiki. This suggests carelessness and a disregard for the lives and civilizations within those universes.
Here's a breakdown of why the "amoral" label is more fitting:
- Lack of Understanding of Good and Evil: Zeno's childlike nature prevents him from grasping the consequences of his actions in terms of good and evil. He operates on a basis of personal enjoyment and boredom.
- Absence of Malice: He doesn't destroy universes out of spite or a desire to inflict suffering. His motives are rooted in eliminating things he finds uninteresting or unpleasant.
- Godly Perspective: As a being of immense power, Zeno's perspective is likely far removed from the understanding of morality held by mortals. His actions might be seen as simply maintaining order or correcting perceived flaws in the universe.
However, it's also important to acknowledge that the consequences of his actions are undeniably devastating. Even without malicious intent, wiping out entire universes and all their inhabitants is a destructive act with significant implications. This is why the debate on whether he is evil continues. Ultimately, his amorality arguably makes him more dangerous than if he were actively malevolent, as there is no moral compass to appeal to.
