The letter L is still not revealed, so Shaz being Sternritter L, "The Luck", is a possibility. "The Luck" is one of the possible L-epithets I've been thinking of myself, although not for any particular Ritter.

If this should turn out to be true, it still leaves us no clue whether Shaz survived or not. As the 3 who ambushed Yamajii was already shown many chapters ago to be alive, tells me that if Shaz is alive, he too should have been shown already. But it probably doesn't work like that.

Either way, if he's still alive, we'll see him sometimes.
