Jellal is obviously (?) not dead. It's too anticlimactic for a great and badass character (imo) to just die like that as his story (everything with Erza, redeeming himself etc.) needs to be resolved with some sort of payoff. What would make it even worse is that he would have been killed by something that barely did anything to him 7 years ago when he only possessed a fraction of his power (not to mention being all suicidal, hopped up on Etherion and floating around in the depths of the ocean for a couple of months) whilst Brain/Zero's been doing shit-all in a prison cell during that time.

Also, on a side note, is Sayla in her human form or her demon form or does it not really matter?

Furthermore, Zero needs to be dealt with; he just does not do it for me.
