he can't qualify for the same reason Kali or Vishnu can't qualify.. both Kali and Vishnu are benevolent and only harm evil but they do so via *exterminating* evil.. contrast that with Superman or Batman, who actively refuse to take lives.. Superman even fights to save criminals, as was the case when he fought Manchester Black for using lethal force.

if a Pure Good is lethal they tend to be like Goku - in that they will give many chances for even the worst enemy to surrender, they seek to defeat evil.. not eliminate it entirely - unless they are faced with no other option.

guys like Kali, Vishnu, Punisher and Kenshiro are an entirely dfferent brand of good - they seek to eliminate evil in its entirety, they don't give more than maybe one or two warnings to their enemies before they end it : they justify it as protecting the innocent via removing that which they know can not be redeemed.

so lethal heroes are still capable of being solidly on the side of "good", they just have a wildly different view on how to deal with evil.
