Oh, but they do Videogamep. The lack of death greatly impacts future plots and storyline emotion.

Let's say we meet Bon-chan again in the current arc, and for the sake of comparison (s)he HAD to sacrifice himself again to save Luffy from Dressrosa (typical Arabasta and Impel Down fashion). You see Luffy crying tears and snots seeing his nakama had to give himself to "certain" death. Will you still feel the same powerful emotion in that scene as compared to back then during Impel Down, knowing full well the fact that there are no real deaths to significant players?

I know myself I won't ;P
