A good comment from ya, AWC and I enjoyed and appreciated it!

You have correctly stated the main issue with Kinemon's death, about his purpose being introduced into the manga vs his so-sudden decease. This is what veteran manga readers will definitely feel at the first thought (I did too). Therefore, his death is not really seriously accepted at this moment. However his revival will definitely ruin the plot device (shinokuni), which definitely ends the chilling-ness feeling we readers should be feeling about a weapon of mass destruction (since it does not effectively kill).

And you know what, while CC should have been the real proper person to die, its these kind of irritating scums / villains that (usually) gets the longest life (in manga) until somewhere near the final arcs or so when they are really put down for good by our protagonists. Until then, they will continue to cause death (to manga characters) and annoyance (to us readers). In many manga or TV serials, this is usually true. Just stating the obvious ;-)
