He didn't need the dagger in order to kill himself, because he wasn't the Dark One anymore. I don't know if I'm missing some pieces tbh. Honestly I don't know what else to say.......

Rumple already made "the ultimate sacrifice" in 3x11 but he was still the Dark One because the Dark One can't kill himself

So, he didn't die. He just went to the Dark One Vault, because his soul is tethered to the Dagger. And they brought him back in 3x15.

I just don't see how this is different from what we saw in 7x22. And yet this time he did die

I just don't understand the logic the show followed here
