@Kevo: I agree with you Dorado is still alive (only I can't remove him from the "deceased characters" category): the referee is heard asking for a stretcher. Plus, Killua had already stopped killing out of pleasure at that point, or Sadaso would be dead, unless we consider it a major error on Togashi's (or the studio's) part. I could concede his status is "unconfirmed". The referee asking for a stretcher is not proof that he is alive. It only proves that he was KO'd and could not get up to walk away. Killua was in a corner basically and his instincts kicked in; he was in control when he threatened Sadaso. Do not consider it an error on Togashi's part, if you consider it an error at all, as Dorado was a 1999-exclusive character, created for that one fight. I'll watch that episode again sometime or find a video of the fight on Youtube. If I can find a video, I'll share it in a blog or something.
