Unless they have extra lives.

But you still die. If you die enough times, you lose the game.

>>1815671
Death is a permanent thing. You can't just get better after dying.

>>1815687
Then what's with your first comment?

>>1815659

If they have extra lives, then they won't be considered "dead" in the first place.

Death is the permanent termination of the biological functions that define living organisms - wikipedia

When all the "extra lives" were cut down, only then it would be considered dead.

ITT: We dumbly apply real life definitions to video game conventions.

>>1815697
They were killed, but they didn't die, since they came back.

>>1815692
If they have extra lives, then they didn't die in the first place, hence they didn't die when they were killed.

>>1815697
Living organisms don't have extra lives, and computer code doesn't have biological functions so that definition of death is completely invalid.

>>1815729
But if a phoenix dies and is reborn from the ashes, that doesn't change the fact it died in the first place.

What if they die three times and are reborn twice?

>>1815759
Technically, a "new" Phoenix is born from the ashes in most myth I've read of it, meaning it's a form of reproduction.

>>1815729

Then it wouldn't be called "killing." If it got stabbed in the heart and lost a life (out of the many it had), it wasn't "killed." Killing causes death (lol). Rather, saying that it was stabbed in the heart is more accurate than saying that it was killed.

>>1815785
No, you're wrong and you're retarded.

>>1815785
If my mom gives birth to me right as (or right before) she dies, it doesn't change the fact that she's dead as a stone.

>>1815855
How does that change what I said?

>>1815857
You're trying to say that the phoenix didn't die because it's reproducing? It still died.

>>1815759 is completely right.

Dear /jp/
how would you translate this to make it unstupid

>>1815654
People die if they are killed... that's the way it's supposed to be.

>>1816324
I don't think so.

>>1816371
Eirin needs to be added to that list.

The World is against you, Shirou. And since you're not that other protagonist, you cannot win, even with GAR.

>>1816371
>'You'll only survive if you die'
wat

>>1815654

People never mention that it makes perfect sense for him to say that.

Shirou got killed 3 times in 1 day.

"Killed" being an assuredly lethal action with no possible way of surviving.

Oh, and he lived.

Turns out he's magic.

And swords.

>>1816646
>Shirou got killed 3 times in 1 day.
And he died 3 times in 1 day. Hence "people die if they are killed..."

>>1816678

But he didn't die.

He was killed, and he lived on.

>>1816691
Going from alive to dead => die
Going from dead to alive => revive

He died 3 times and got magically revived 3 times.

>>1816705

SEMANTICS HAET SHIROU

Not to mention people who are clinically dead who get revived.

>>1815780
Then you hit it with Free Range until it dies again.
