I don't mind if Kubo kills off Cang now, but from the point of interest, I hope he doesn't, cos I wanna see more of Cang's abilities.

4 Sternritter were killed almost right away in the first invasion, 3 of them off-panel. Even though there's 22 left, I don't want to see more of them killed without any character development and use of their powers. It's boring to see captain-level characters being killed when we don't even get to see it.
