    I think it’s more of a book reference to his fight with bonzo, who was bullying ender. Ender was a few years younger and knew he had to win the fight “permanently,” so it’s inferred that he knew what he was doing (not intending to kill him but that’s obviously a possibility).

    Iirc, the officials told ender that bonzo was sent home. In reality, he did actually kill bonzo and was lied to about it.

      Fair but ender himself says he never meant to kill bonzo or the kid in his earth school.

        That’s fair, though he was trying to permanently end the bullying, which is what i think OP was referencing at least. Since, you know, that would end bullying permanently
