I actually want him to live! Because, he's advanced through so many changes in terms of look and art and realism, and he looks so good now in terms of realism, it'd be a shame for all that to go down the drain.
I wanna see Ninjai fight Takagawa at his best! ANd I believe that is what we will see at one point, perhaps.
Or maybe, Sakuri, the guy that threw the rope down for Takagawa, maybe he will kill Takagawa after having killed all the men. Maybe, he saved takagawa because he wants to kill him himself. Just a thought that came to mind..
