I've recently finished Demon Slayer (yeah, I know, late to the party) and holy shit it was so bloodthirsty. Ofc the story had it ups and downs, but I legit wasn't sure who will live and who will die from the Demon Slayer corps, especially in the last big fight. Out of 9 hashiras they got about 2-3 alive? They lost arms and other body parts?Sure, the author found a way to have some sort of happy ending, but it was really unusual after OP. In OP I feel chill, if even Pound and VP are somehow alive, there's no way Oda will kill, say, Loki. I am still surprised some scabbards died (and am still salty about Izou). The death of Yasuie is probably one of the best recent deaths we got, very impactful imo. I'd say Gaban still has a death flag, but I root for him to live, his family will outlive him anyways, they deserve a few more happy years together.
But Loki, Hajrudin, Dory & Broggy, even the old guy with the sword in his head are all very likely to survive Imu's descent to Elbaph. Some random giants nobody really cares about might die tho.
