A main character died, so what? With Mashima they never stay dead. Every main character has been to death's door or maybe even got wiped off the face of the earth, but never really died. Erza was fully absorbed by the tower of heaven, she was saved by plot-armour. Natsu was trapped in Genesis Zero(in other words he disappeared from this world), how'd he get out? Plot armour. And let's not forget the Acnologia incident. All of them supposedly died but it seems they were simply in suspended animation for 7 years, again, plot-armour. None of them died. Similar thing will happen here. Albeit without plot-armour hopefully.
