Well some good character has to die in this series. We can't have a series where only the bad guys die. He's just way too beloved. He has done so much for the alliance and for Rias and her group. He has more death flags than everyone in Akame ga Kill combined. And plus Kurenai said that he was Azazel's successor in Sacred Gear research. I know that could be because of anything. But I can't see Azazel letting go of his passion like that and passing it on to someone else.
