In One Piece nobody died at all until Ace and Whitebeard died and it took almost 600 Manga chapters for that to happen but everybody seemed to Think that One Piece was great and exciting before the war started so that proves that a Manga does not need death to be awesome and exciting. Not even small side characters ever died in One Piece before Ace and Whitebeard died and they are still the only important characters that have died so far. Fairy Tail only got 395 Manga chapters and many important characters have died so far. Not members of the Fairy Tail Guild maybe but its very possible that could happen in the future. But if people want to see Fairy Tail main characters die so freaking much they should want to see members of the Straw hat pirates in One Piece die too but i never see anybody want to see members of Luffys crew die. Ace and Whitebeard were side characters and not main characters and we almost never saw them before the war. Honestly people really exaggerate the need for death in these Mangas. There does not need to be death often for something to be exciting and great It would not feel that special when characters died if it happened often. Also i strongly prefer that characters stay alive most of the time because i want to have as many interesting characters as possible in the World of the series. Also Death can create very sad moments yea but most of the time it does not actually change anything once the sad moments are over. The characters and everything else are usually exactly the same after there has been Death. The only difference is usually that they have flashbacks about the characters that died and talk about them sometimes.
