Damn, the big lads went full beast this chapter. It is always nice to see the minor characters of the HSU get their (final) moments. I hope Denyuu pulls through, he did survive a whole wave of arrows hitting him while protecting Shin during the Ai Rebellion. If he doesn't though then damn this is going down as perhaps the harshest battle so far for the HSU.
That sounds like a good idea. Denyuu is a pretty important bloke within the HSU to kill off.
If Hara wanted more members to die to really drive home how harsh and desperate this campaign is while not losing anyone too important then Chuu Tetsu might have been a better pick for this last stand scene.
Chuu Tetsu is an original member but he has rarely ever been given a chance to shine. Even with this "HSU monster trio" moment, he is just an extra wheel. The man has never had a bone thrown his way from the author. Lol.
