Xil I agree absolutely. I think from a story telling standpoint he should be dead and stay dead. Kubo has a history of not really killing off characters though. That's why I was surprised that most folks on here assumed he was dead at the end of the chapter. Orihime could fix him up, he could limp off and survive, or the RG could save him. He could be zombie-fied. R and D could pick him up and experiment on him. I see lots of potential scenarios. I personally don't like any of those scenarios. I just think there's a good possibility of one of them happening.
