“Death” is just a writer’s copout from Oda lol. Who cares if Absalom died if he isn’t actually going to be removed from the story?
That’s ultimately what the whole “Death” conversation in OP boils down to, the idea that Oda is too scared to actually remove characters from the story in a meaningful way, so that when he actually does “kill” someone like Pound, there’s no point in believing it anymore because Oda will undo Vergo’s, Monet’s, and Pedro’s Death in a freaking heartbeat if he thinks it’d be funny to see them cooking some obscure Japanese dish in a cover story.
I don’t care how many characters Oda “kills”, I care how many of them Oda is brave enough to remove from the story for the sake of narrative weight, the number of which is basically 0.

What a great moment for the scabbards! I guess this attack will actually do some damage, he froze in fear and remembered Oden and his words before he inflicted Kaido's only scar!
Luffy awareness of where is the heart of the problem is exceptional, Yama-o is finally free and Kaido really intended to kill lmao
That was a great start to the war, Kanjuro and Orochi's deaths were the first of many to come.

Lmao, then kick Zoro out, Jimbei has way better feats than him. So yeah, headcanon.
And why does it have to be a trio? It was always a trio because there were only 3 strong guys in the crew. With Jimbei it already changed.
That's not a rank or a title and it is not limited by anything. If the SH's have 6 strong guys, then there is no trio anymore. Simple as that.

I just think people focus too much on "real death" in a manga written for kids. Yup, Oda has tarnished his own reputation by repeatedly killing and miraculously bringing his characters back to life, so naturally we as the readers are going to be skeptical. At this point, I take his deaths only for face value. If the die, ok cool. If they come back, ok cool. Is it 100% bad writing on his part, absolutely, but it doesn't deter me from the reading the manga in its entirety. So for face value Absalom did die, and if he comes back as a zombie, ok cool
