Debatable kills[edit | edit source]
- “Casualties. It sounds so… casual. These are girls… that I got killed.”
- ―Buffy Summers[src]
Some individuals are indeed to be accounted as defeated by the Slayer and under her responsibility, but it's notable that these deaths may involve circumstances more complex than the simple kills of driving a weapon into one's life source. Therefore, these deaths vary on personal parameters of interpretation, listed below either as included or excluded from this accounting:
Accounted[edit | edit source]
- Angel — Although he was not physically dead,[26] the event of Buffy sending Angel to Acathla's dimension was often referenced as her killing him.[126] Notably, the afterlife was often described as a type of dimensional travel.[127][128]
- Ken — While Buffy struck him violently, it could be interpreted he was only unconscious and his demon constitution allowed him to survive. His death was accounted due to the circumstances pointing how Buffy defeated him, being then necessary a confirmation for his survival to change the context.[94]
- Bezoar's offsprings — Although the number was likely larger, sixteen demons were accounted based on the number of people who were seen fainting after Buffy killed the Bezoar mother. Despite these being indirect deaths, Buffy is the sole responsible for them.[20]
- Unidentified demon — Battling two of them in the Initiative's sewers, Buffy threw one into the axe the other was holding, apparently on purpose.[47]
- Knights of Byzantium — Dante Chavalier mentioned having ten of his men dead, implying all the five Knights that Buffy was seen defeating had died. As all other mentioned deaths, his affirmation was considered true. (The other half were the three previously killed by Glorificus, one Anya had thrown from the bus, and Orlando, stabbed by Dante himself.)
- Warren Mears — He died for a second time when Buffy caused the end of magic, breaking the Seed of Wonder herself. Although his death was only a side-effect of her action, she still is the sole causer of this death.[103]
- Willow Rosenberg — Although the future event was reversed,[125] Buffy did perform the act of killing her while time traveling.[101]
Not accounted[edit | edit source]
- Weirick — Buffy threw the possessed human into a pit, apparently not expecting it to contain the danger of killer hyenas. A more pragmatic cause consider other individuals involved, in this case the hyenas for eating him.[129]
- Inca Princess — Although defeated in a battle against the Scooby Gang, the mummy had already perished when Buffy reached her, as noted in the accidental dismembering.[130]
- Billy Fordham (siring) — Buffy's negligence is debatable both as accurate and as the cause. A more pragmatic consider the cause was his sire for draining him. Buffy was accounted for slaying him as a vampire, though.[16]
- Ovu Mobani's followers — Buffy defeating Ovu Mobani caused his zombies to be dead again, but this happened by making them disappear, which indicated that she simply undid his influence over all dead beings nearby.[27] This differs from the case in which Angel destroyed a statue that had raised only certain individuals, causing them to die and fall whenever they were.[131]
- Frederick and Hans Gruenshtahler — Buffy tricked the twins so they mistakenly shoot each other, but they were ultimately their own mutual killers.[29]
- Sisterhood of Jhe members — It's known that Buffy, Willow, Giles, and Faith were at a cave after defeating these demons, but it's not clear who caused each death.[132]
- Vampires' nest — There's no objective information about what happened while Buffy and Faith were in this vampire nest. This means no confirmed slays, total or individual.[36]
- Buffy Summers — Although her self-sacrifice of jumping the tower to her own death still classifies as Buffy causing a death, it's not a relevant accounting due to the particular circumstances of not being a "slay."[64]
- Kumiko Ishihara — Although she was never seem again after Buffy stabbed her, a knife in the back isn't fatal for a vampires. It's possible that the injury made her not survive the fall, dying with the impact, but it'd be just a speculation.[100]
- Joanna Wise — Her death was unmistakably intentional when Buffy kicked the cyborg into the Shenlong, expecting the dragon to eat her enemy. The accounting, though, would be earned as Shenlong's, the direct killer.[133]
