This is kind of a bad translation tbf. It is literally correct but not figuratively. It’s more like “Nobody can escape the finality of death.”
Caveat: I don’t know Japanese but I have seen this frame discussed before. I’ve also heard some other odd death related sayings in JP media, like “He wouldn’t die even if you killed him.”
Played for laughs in Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha (Misfit of Demon King Academy), where the immensely overpowered protagonist often asks things like “Did you think killing me would be enough to make me die?”.
this is why we need anime. you simply don’t get these life lessons anywhere else
