This is why I said I grabbed the "most relevant" statement; the overall indications across Praelud and Praefat focuses on the disease being the common factor conneting all the zombies. Kyle's is just the ony one from our translated info to spell it out so far.

Mechanically, this makes sense since otherwise it creates a plot hole about why Ney doesn't just keep resurrecting the soldiers killed in combat with the Glass.

I like Octo's idea that perhaps Banica just wasn't powerful enough but I feel it may just be that Ron being "infected" was what did it.

Which now I can confirm that I have found the scene with Ron (just had to find the English text that said "UGGGAAAHH!!!" among all that Japanese).

Ron's body was apparently falling apart and he soon after "dies" while really briefly summarizing all the stuff Elluka needs to know for Gumillia to exposition about (even with Elluka's spell, he has a lot of long poses before even saying a few words).

It's possible him just being infected was what let him be revived like the others but maybe because he didn't die of the disease, his body wasn't stable? I doubt he'd be falling apart so easily otherwise.
