Not enough screentime in Force for their deaths to have any impact.
Could be that some Hucks who switch side will kick the bucket. I can see Cypha dying in some final act of redemption, sharing a few final warrior words with Signum. ...The image alone is already terrible. But cliche enough that I can see it happen. |

Now if you made one of the Strikers kill someone in cold blood with their blood and viscera splattering all over the wall like a rain of crimson...ah now THAT's something I wanna see. Or maybe not lest the butchering of the scene give me an aneurysm. |

Not that Zest's scene was all that well done. I mean, I feel sorry for the poor guy when Signum told him they already fix everything and he just waste his time.
I think see him cut in to pieces will only make him serve some purpose, even if is just gore service.

While i more or less agree on the Wolkenritter also hijacking the plot (i complained about them as well when i first watched A's but since they were so damn cool and likable i forgot that pretty quickly, obviously not the case with the Hucks but that's just me i guess xDU), i think people exaggerates a bit about Fate.
Yeah, while it's true she occuppied a good deal of the first Season (and even a good chunk of A's as well) during the original series we were also getting introduced to Nanoha Takamachi and her world, we had sub-plots involving her relatives and friends, we had shades of her inner corncer, we ahd her learning and getting introduced into the world of magic and also we had her finding motivation in rescuing Fate. I agree on Fate's struggle being one of the main highlights of the season but Nanoha was a proper and very proactive main character despite not being as appealing with the audience as her rival. It was The MOVIE 1st where Fate finally hijacked the plot almost entirely xDU I think i should check supplemental material for A's first but as much as the Wolks took over the plot back then it wasn't as sudden or blatant as with the Hucks. The manga and every related piece of supplemental material goes out of it's way to portray them as the coolest thing since packaged bread (okay, maybe i'm streching it a bit but watch the NEXT images dedicated to members of the Huckebein family ...and i mean the translated ones xDU). To make a point, even when the Wolks were portrayed sympathetically and an important reason behind their actions was explained it was never doubted they were in the wrong and that they still need to be stopped/helped by our heroines. The Huckebein on the other hand look like outright Villain Protagonists, their actions so far goes unpunished and unquestioned by the narrations ...even the heroes struggles to stop them are more or less put in doubt about being the right thing to do (Tohma is the main character of the season and he's a-ok about hanging around with those guys and we even got to see Cypha in an almost "heroic" light on Ch. 23 despite being the same murderous pscho i love to hate when she tried to off Quinn right on the spot xDU). Maybe Tsuzuki is trying to end this with a twist "Shakugan no Shana F" style xD? I can almost foresee the heroes having an epiphany and realizing the Hucks were in the right all the time and then they'll spend the last chapters of the season aiding them in their dark quest while claiming how noble and awesome they are xDU

Well I think the Hucks being so much focus actually is a flaw of the series. As well as not focusing so much in the Numbers was actually a good thing in StrikerS. And I say this because, after seeing both groups, I must say that they are not as good when I compare them to Fate and the Wolkenritter.
With the last two we spend time to see their motives and feelings, seeing why they care about what is going on and kind of wanting them to succeed but knowing they were still antagonist as Akiyoshi says. However the Hückebein family? All I see them is acting like clowns who doesn’t seem to care about what is going on, really have weird motivations and, so far, no clear goal. I just don’t get them at all as I did with the others despite we keep seeing them over and over. So really is comes down to the fact that we first saw then as violent murders and know we are suppose to like them? Because I really don’t think that is working.

Except the numbers were in the same corner as the Wolkenritter for the most part, but we never really delved into that because they didn't get enough screentime. This led to a lack of empathy for them in the season overall. It wasn't until SSX and Vivid rolled around that most people started to warm up to the numbers. Why? Because those actually helped develop them.
