1: 2nd characters Well heres the thing they are not main characters or even 2nd characters that deem airtime. Really off hand i thank Marechiyo Ōmaeda has more airtime then Rose and Kensei (since R/K were introduced).

2: Side effects. If they were dead then they would not be breathing so no air to the brain nor air in general. And since that is a side effect of Gremmy using his power to kill them they would likely have suffoacted to death for real.
