Indeed. There will be many sad people when some character die (especially if they are main) but at the same time I'll feel happy since its about time something like this happens.

Predictions for death: Makarov, Gildarts (possibly due to the unspecified organ loss, or Acnologia), Igneel (saving Natsu(like Haru being saved by Gale)), Tratraos GM, Zeref (unless Hiro does some last airbender crap and has all of his magic power striped from him).
