I agree with arima no megane.

For me the only one Death flag that was risen whas Matsumae's. BTW I don't think Ishida uses Death Flag so often.

I mean, there weren't many main characters who died in the first place. The first one was Hinami's mother (her Death flag could have been her conversation with Yomo) then we had Mado's deat, Yamori and the final battle. During this battle Irimi, Koma and the manager all had death flags as well as Seidou, Juuzou and Shinohara. Ironically enogh none of these characters had been officially confirmed as Death (even if Koma and Irimi probably did). I think that Ishida's style are the "horrible twist of fate flags" rather than Death flags.

Also all the characters who died died for a specific reason which served the plot.

Hinami's mother: to show how cruel investigators were and how difficult a ghoul's life was. Also Touka, Hinami and Kaneki's development.

The investigator Touka killed: to show the complexity of Touka's character and to show how difficult the life of an investigator could be.

Mado: Hinami, Touka, amon, Akira and now even ayato's development.

Yamori: Kaneki's development, also he had fulfilled his role after torturing Kaneki and having had a lot of space. He is also linked to Naki's character to a degree and with his Death Nico was able to leave Aogiri and to give Kaneki's information.

What I am trying to say is that it makes no sense for characters like Ui and Hiei to die so easily since they have yet to do anything and to have development. Matsumae on the other hand could die since she has fulfilled her role and her Death could serve for Shuu's development. Maybe I am wrong though, we'll see.
