Decapitation is extremely messy, and somewhat irreversible, so it really depends on the degree of pushing around. I mean, look at her duel with Saionji in Wounded Rose; she doesn't even bare her steel until he's drawn blood. She doesn't see deadly force as a first or even second option most of the time.

There are conditions, though, under which she would say, "If you do that again, I will kill you," and mean every syllable of it.

>And that doesn't even touch on Utena...

If they know what's good for them, they'd better not, too. :)
