In this Volume, we had the same number of onscreen deaths that we did in Volume 3. The Volume where everything went wrong. Now, granted, the first wasn't particularly impactful, but that should say something. I didn't say it was the tone of the first two, what I said was that it's closer to the tone of the first two than it is to volume 3. Or at the very least, the tone is nothing like the tone in volume 3.

And as for your second point: No. Drop that notion right now. Comparing the deaths in Volume 6 to the deaths in Volume 3 is akin to comparing Church's death in season 1 of RvB to Pyrrha's death. Not the same. Do you really think anybody shed a tear when Adam was kindly removed from the series he was dragging down? Nope. The emotions elicited by Adam's death are closer to the ones I felt watching the food fight in volume 2. Not joking. You said, "a slightly less funny, more serious version of volumes 1-2. And rewatch the first five or so episodes of Volume 3. The Volume wasn't particularly dark until the last half.

My comparing the number of deaths was simply to prove that Volume 6 isn't like Volumes 1 and 2 tonally. Although I will admit, the deaths didn't have much emotional weight to them.
