The Power of Death in Avatars
The series arc is explicitly intended as an examination of how a siege mentality within somebody who conceives themselves as to one degree or another, keeping the peace can turn toxic. The prospect of death is very scary and it's such a powerful categorical thing that in many cases it is going to be the catalyst. I don't feel that a death is necessarily required to become an avatar. You need to make an active decision to finally cross that threshold. And death is a very good motivator for that sort of decision.
