I'll be completely honest... I never really viewed King's speech as like, killing them? Maybe it was a dub thing? Cause going back and watching the dub and sub on certain parts uh... the dub I've noticed takes way more liberties than I expected.

But anyway the way King talks is like "I've tried countless times to snuff you all out and really you all just keep coming back" and it's very much supposed to be taken as more metaphorical than literal? Like he's not literally killing the people he's showing, it's just showing that the shows are connected throughout the eras and showing the wider scope of it all as King laments how he can't seem to get rid of the Makai Order.

So yeah, I'll be real when I say I really think you just took it the complete wrong way somehow.

As for Luke... well I'll be honest. I'm fine with him not getting the deciding blow on Knight. Like, I feel like that would've gone completely against what he's being built up as? The dude's whole thing really has been needing to let go of pointless revenge, find out what he needs to protect, and gain the strength to protect all throughout the series. Him killing Knight, while potentially satisfying, wouldn't really work with how he went.

I honestly thought it was cool and a bit sad how, he's on his last legs but you can tell he's satisfied. He's not angry, he's not in despair, he knows what it means to protect, to be a knight now, and he almost pity's the fact that Knight can't understand that. Even Knight doesn't really properly get a retort in, he just vanishes on Luke. He doesn't even try to kill Luke in response either, and in a way, Luke wins in that moment.
