The fact that Zero says \

The fact that Zero says \\\"the only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed\\\" does not mean that the show\\\'s Aesop is that \\\'\\\'everyone\\\'\\\' who kills will end up being killed. (If that was the Aesop, they could\\\'ve just quoted the Bible and said \\\"them that take the sword shall perish by the sword,\\\" although that one probably wasn\\\'t intended to convey that every single person who uses violence will end up being killed by it either.) It\\\'s more like \\\"if it\\\'s worth killing for, it\\\'s worth dying for\\\" or \\\"don\\\'t be both a killer and a coward\\\" or \\\"be warned that if you kill people you are putting your own safety in danger.\\\"

People like Cornelia were certainly willing to risk being killed, it just didn\\\'t happen. She was prepared to be killed, but through luck, skill, PlotArmor, etc. it didn\\\'t happen. This almost certainly applies to Ohgi and probably to Viletta as well. In fact, a majority of the killers in the show are willing to put their life on the line, so a majority of them pass this particular statement by Zero.

Hell, if you wanted to give an example of someone who killed without being willing to risk being killed, Clovis and [[spoiler: V.V.]] and [[spoiler: the High Eunuchs]] and [[spoiler: Charles]] and [[spoiler: Nunnally]] would be better examples. Of course, since at least one of those people is a possible contender for the title of BigBad, it hardly breaks the (alleged) Aesop to have them violate it.
