Wow, so many people missing all the "she's not really dead" indicators.

No it doesn't, but it raises the chances by at least double.
And paired with all the other indicators that she's not a throwaway character?

She will break the record as the fastest to die at episode 1.  |
All of whom had very significant death scenes well into each of their series-es. Shouko suddenly gets blown up by a beam out of nowhere in the very first episode with no teary-eyed scene with the MC before she kicks?
To quote my full list of why I think she's not dead:
Quote:
1. Defintiely not the kind of end you'd expect for somebody who's supposed to be so important to the main character. We didn't get any real scene of crying or wailing from Haruto. (and any Sunrise veteran knows they're experts at this, even to a fault)
2. In fact, it was way too quick, and showed way too little; we didn't see any sight nor sign that her body was actually vaporized or anything. We've seen this oh-so-many times before, especially from the very guys at Sunrise; no body, no death.
3. For such a quick-death character, she's at the top of the cast list in the credits, and at the top of the characters list on the webpage. We all know it's an unspoken rule that, unless otherwise stated (order of appearance, alphabetical, etc.), all film media lists characters in order of importance.
4. In the opening, she appears right there next to the very live other girl that's also at the top of the credits and character lists.
