It's simultaneously annoying and yet very humorous how wrong some of their information is! I wish I saved some of their most embarrassing mistakes for posterity.

Here's how I picture Ren's death near the end of the show!

I'm not sure how much of the wiki is actually that bad, but yeah, there's some stuff on there that requires a grain of salt or two.

Like, if you need forms or items, or names of characters, it's probably fine, but after that, there's quite a bit of guesswork going on there.

As for the Naki thing, I remember seeing that statement on the wiki before, but it's not there anymore, so I don't know.

So, why does everyone think Ren is going to die? Did I miss something? Or is it just that some people don't like him? If that's it, then, like, I can't help you. You're on your own.

I don't think lot of people are thinking that.
People are more thinking he will defect to bad guys side (or more likely a different faction side) because of what Dezast said during the "Ren episode" spin-off.

Huh. I haven't been able to find that yet. Does anyone know where I could find it?

Tv Nihon has the specials subbed.
Ren was around Ep9

Okay, thanks. I wasn't using them before, but that works. I don't really have a problem with them, other than being overly wordy. I guess you don't need to know all the details.

I remember there was also some speculation that he was going to die because he didn't have a stock footage transformation like the others. The logic went "he doesn't have stock footage" -> "the showrunners don't plan on having him transform enough times for stock footage to be worth making" -> "he's going to get killed off."

But then IIRC he did get stock footage in one episode, which we haven't seen again since, and meanwhile Kento who did have stock footage died, so it's anyone's guess now which swordsmen will survive.
