Introduction
How the game is finished is just as important as how the game is played out in the mid-game. There have been countless times where the opponent had the perfect amount of Counter to survive your last attack, throwing a game that had the potential to be yours. Compared to attack sequencing and Don!! allocation for board control, Lethal calculations are a whole subset of knowledge that is necessary to ensure that the chances of victory are maximized.
‘Lethal’ is the term used for the killing blow on the opponent’s life to end the game. This means that the opponent is pushed to a point where they have not enough life, and Counter in hand to defend the flurry of attacks that have been established. If the spread of Don!! is miscalculated and inefficient, it allows the opponent to get away with countering less to maintain a relatively healthy amount of resources to push back in the following turns. Knowing why Don!! would be allocated in different ways when going for Lethal, and moreover, identifying opportunities to choose not to push for Lethal is key to improving this skill.

One Piece Fundamentals - How To Take Life(Damage)(Zoro knows how to take damage effectively)
At the GenCon TCG Tournaments in Indiana, I learned some new card games for the first time in a while. One of the games in particular, Dragon Ball Super Fusion World(a new version of the DBS card game), was a little confusing for me to wrap my head around at first. Me and Jackson Hoang were playing against each other (https://twitter.com/ClydeTCG/status/1687882080372264960?s=20) and we had no idea what was going on! Everything was Rush Zoro(all the units had rush lmao), we started with like 8 life, we were able to awaken(go super-saiyan) at like 5 life, and we had no idea what to do with all this information. I decided that I was going to take the One Piece approach of taking life/defending and managed to barely squeak out the game against Jackson, even though I had the worst deck.
I thought about that game and how I played One Piece after, and realized that how you take life is directly linked to winning or losing the game! Obviously everyone loses once they are attacked at 0 life, but an attack you decided to take damage from(or defend) at the start of the game, or at 4 life, or at 3 life, etc. may be one of the primary causes of you winning or losing that game.
