When are the Scions gonna get the memo...

And then there's the Warriors of Darkness, who get a full-party rez using "the power of the Echo" every time you wipe them, until they're finally defeated by the power of plot.

Admittedly there may be special circumstances in play there (eg how they used the Echo to travel to the Source in the first place).

While this is understandable, no where is this mentioned within the story with regard to us. Remember, the WoDs had to die in order to get there in the first place. They are powerful because they are undead. It is one thing for the characters to say you are valuable because you are skilled and gifted. But to say you are valuable because you are immortal says a different thing altogether. Admittedly Middy's arc tried to fix this, but it is a fundamental issue with the character's "humanity" as they are.

One of the hunt marks in kugane was a red kojin accused of killing 8 people. EIGHT. Gosetsu killed 1000 men for the imperials, yet is still a respected hero.

When does our character, with their actions and abilities, cease being human and become a weapon? a monster? a god? The loss of that relatability is not something to take lightly.
