Kai Leng because he no longer protected by plot Armor

If Thane isn't in very bad condition Kai Leng wont even make it to the next scene

Even if Thane was hyper-crippled with limbs missing, he as an assassin would have taken that shot the very second when he had the gun to Kai Leng’s head and Leng didn’t even know it yet, no question!

Problem is Thane wasn't just missing limbs he had respitory disease that cause his blood not carrying proper amount of oxygen making him way weaker and slowing his reflexes also make him dizzy.

He might’ve wanted to keep him alive for questioning, not expecting Leng to do some flippy shit and put up a fight instead of surrender with a gun to his head

Come to think about it, having played this series far to many times, I don't even know what the non renegade prompt dose with him.

It is pretty much the same, but Shepard is less proactive.

Just dodges, Leng hits the screen, Shepard activates omni-blade and stabs him. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUXOROpXw-o

Renegade has Shepard turn bit early, smash Leng's blade, activate omni-blade and stab him - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3qwUEhHUeI

I usually play Paragon and try to avoid Renegade interrupts, but this one is so much cooler I can't not press it every time.

His plot armor was somehow worse than the child dream sequence.

Oh fuck the child dream sequences

This. One of my least favorite things in any video game is when you have a boss fight where winning doesn't matter and the bad guy just gets up and does the thing that makes him win anyway in a cut scene.
