There's no confirmation whatsoever that he's dead. No funeral - no death. He could have lost consciousness due to the injury. Just because the set up of the series looks like he's about to die, with people crying over him and such, doesn't mean he's dead.

I'm not a "Shirazu fan", never labelled myself as one, but something is off about the way his "death" is shown. When Ishida decides to kill major characters or any character for the sake of it, he does it abruptly, not in this type of set up.

I'll admit he's dead once I see further proof, meaning after the Tsukiyama operation is over if he's still somehow around. There's many ways a writer can fool the audience into thinking a character died, for example if the next chapter, the focus is shifted to Urie somehow ending up the roof with no further mentions of Shirazu, we can see that Urie thinks he's dead. But what if he comes back and somehow Shirazu is still alive?

People changing the status and acting like their word is law isn't confirmation in anyway. This is not the first time the fandom has turned their judgement wheel into action. I prefer if it's changed to unknown until further confirmation.

Once I see a funeral, or anything in further chapters that he's dead, I'll make my peace with it. But right now, when there is no solid proof, I'm not taking anyone's assumption as a confirmation. I'm sure other reasonable people around here would agree. Besides, berating "Shirazu fans" that they need to get over it isn't helping. I'm not the type to get emotionally invested in characters, like when people raged over Hairu being killed, but this just feels halfway to me as opposed to Hairu's head being completely blown off. I just want my logical explanation and not some other fan thinking they know better when no one has seen further than what we have.
