The main characters weren't always main characters, though. Many people thought that Mado would survive because it seemed like he's becoming a main character, same goes to nutcracker, Jason, Nashiro and some even thought that about the bin brothers. If the time comes, even "main characters" will die.

The only reason why our current main characters are main characters is because they survived their introduction. For example: If Tsukiyama died after his fight with Touka, he wouldn't be a main character. Therefore, no one would be like "Whoa, Ishida killed a main character now!". Back then, he was still more of a minor character. If he would die now, that would be a different thing.
