Hmmm, I think the discussion of the morality of Solomon's actions here is missing a key component other then just the specific actions he took before starting this inevitable slaughter. The part where he wants someone to land just that one blow on him. Yes he is basically setting them up with an offer they refuse to refuse, they really could take that sweet deal but as the alt text said every last one of them honestly believes they have a chance, but at the end of the day his motivation isn't a roundabout excuse to use martial arts bull**** breathing techniques on people and I think that matters.
