Reminds me of the note in the books for the Fourth Corporate War in Cyberpunk 2020- "Morgan Blackhand is not still alive because he's the best, he's the best because he's still alive."
I recall Legend of the Five Rings being another game system that's very big on the lethality of combat, particularly iaijutsu duels. One of the first things I hear as advice for new players is not to get into fights unless it's absolutely necessary because it can be so very easy to die.
