If they fought for real half of them might not have died but Oh No! We can't kill anyone even when they are killing us.
Sorry, I didn't see that. The Chiko reaching for her attacker thing was slightly silly, but morally effective. In every other case, I thought they were attacking to kill. The shooter's arm just happened to intercept Ken's knife. The Skipper tried to kill two people. Muta shot people. NJM shot Tora. No-one else had a gun.

And Slice of Life, you make perfect sense about A+L and DTF -- even though I don't agree. I think this show is deep but ironic. More like a postmodern theorist than a yelling teen. Not that a postmodern theorist would be that congenial, lol. But as I've said before, I think what's important here are the powerful myths: being poisoned by your parents, being surrounded by hidden danger, being rescued by your hero, the princess among the thieves, having your family almost all killed, etc.
