I agree with you AYET, it definitely detracts from the manga when things like that happen, it even lessens the effect and impact of incredible things like Zoro absorbing Luffy's damage and surviving, cos we all expect that. I personally, however, hold onto the hope that maybe things in NW will be different, and that maybe we'll see some real death soon, maybe even one of the SH to bring that reality back to the manga.
