never really saw what happend to the last subject, so fill me in while continuing the debate whith the people they killed!

who killed more DANGEROUS people? I mean, sure, Bean only killed one guy, (that we know of), but wasnt Achilles just as dangerous as Bonito de Madrid? I guess the question is, WHO DO YOU THINK DID A BETTER JOB, given the resources and upbringing that they did?

Good Question

But i do want a slight caveat before answering:
the better kill or the most important kill?

to the first part I find them to be more or less even.

But to the second part I think Ender's kill(s) have been more important to his development as a character because without the stillson death or the bonzo death (though to a lesser) degree he never would have been given the commmand of the fleet. I find this to be especially true as they seemed to be really wanting that "killer"
attitude, though this was really only explained in ES.

Best,
Matt

IMO - The more dangerous opponent was Achilles.
{{SPOILER}}
I mean, he kidnapped Bean and Petra's children. Even though they were still embryos, they were people.
Also, Bean shot Achilles through the eye, if I remember correctly (I may be completely off though). And that seems so smooth and...yeah. But Ender just totally beat the guts out of Bonzo...
I'd say how they did it was even. But Bean definitely killed the more dangerous enemy.
