Krishna shows his universal form to Arjuna. He tells Arjuna that all the warriors are meant to die, and killing them would only change his destiny by making him king. Also, Krishna mentions that those who understand him are to not come back to the material world. He shows his importance through telling many things to Arjuna, such as telling him that he is the universe and stuff.
It appears that Krishna is using 'ethos' (persuasion through character) to persuade Arjuna. He is making himself 'trustworthy' by emphasizing that he is a god and that he knows the way the universe is (He IS the universe. -_-).
When Krishna mentioned that it would only change his destiny, I don't think it is entirely true, for the warriors were meant to die later, and maybe that would have affected their destiny. Is there such a thing as changing destiny? Destiny means that there is already a path destined for you. Weird.
If Krishna is so powerful and a know-it-all, why isn't he doing what he believes is right? Is it because he is meant to teach others of the divine yoga? I guess so. Never mind. Case closed.
Although Krishna is showing off and doing all kinds of stuff to try to convince Arjuna to kill, it seems it's not changing Arjuna's will; it's only giving him more questions and confusing him more. Although Krishna is a god and everything, I still don't want Arjuna to kill. I want him to keep the peace between the families and stop it through non-violence. Sorry Krishna.
