Well, looks like my prediction was wrong.
At the time, Aria's death felt so... I can't really find a word for it other than "wrong"... that I was convinced it had to be a fake-out and she'd eventually be coming back. It would have been cool to see her develop into a successor for Saori alongside Koga's development as Seiya's successor. But no, she was just stuffed into the fridge to give him and Eden angst. |

They won't. He is there strictly for merchandising. Bandai won't take it well if they kill him. |

But honestly, it’s okay to “kill” your “merchandise” within the series as long as you have used it to its full potential within the story. Think of how many times Sunrise destroys some Gundams and grunt MSs like Zakus in the middle of the series (almost always) yet the model kits made by Bandai still sell like hot cakes.

He will learn the true value of friendship and die fighting for those ideals.

That's why I thought not killing a character just because of merchandising's sake is ridiculous (in case you don't get my sarcasm in my previous post).

SSO airs at 6:30 AM on Sundays. The people watching are mostly little kids. That is the demography Bandai/Toei wants, not people who aren't even Japanese who stream or download the show. They want kids with parents with money to spend. It's why they revived the show. They don't want guys who care only about minutiae and get a hard-on debating whether Saga or Shaka is the strongest gold saint. You are not going to get them to buy the merchandising if you have a character who appears then dies. Kids want stuff for the imitation play and imagination value not just as display items (like us).

Pretty epic season finale. It even reminded me to the second Gurren Lagann movie climax when they used all those artistic licenses to show the power from the main character. Looks like the preview uses the instrumental version of the upcoming third opening theme. It feels weird to see Seiya with his red shirt and his jeans even though this is Omega. What happened with the scarf? Does he never change his clothes?

looks like indeed their are trying to rise some kouga x yuna flags in omega like seiya & athena(and if follow the same pattern will be a very bad writing romance), based on all that yuna reactions in this episode, and maybe the "rebirth/return of sonya"(everyone noticed the dark cosmos leave her body too?).
