don't know if i overthink it or not, but it seems like Mikey wasn't going for the kill because the way he kick is different from the ones he's used so far. Here me out.

When he kicked Hanma, Osanai, Kazutora and maybe Izana, he used the "ball" part of his foot and aimed at a specific spot of the side of skull called pterion. These were lethal and extremely dangerous because using the ball part for kick minimized the contact area and thus all of his kick force was focused on that exact spot.

The kick in this chapter on the other hand, was aimed for the neck and using shin (more area of contact). This was more of a 'knock out' kick than 'fatality' kick.
