Yeah but there's like a million different ways where he could be saved or even resurface somewhere safe. Wasn't there a rumor that Oren would save him? And if not, Kouta's on his way there right now. Hell, he could just wake up and narrowly escape.

#1 rule of fiction: Unless you see a body OR you see the person die on-screen, it's likely that they're not actually dead.

Not only are the two who've died already not been part of the main four, but you can't deny that their deaths have been very blatant. That's how death has always been in Kamen Rider, we SEE the character die. This one was a little more vague and unsure. We only ever saw Takatora unconscious, not dead.

I do have to agree with this. Of all of the confirmed deaths in the show, three of them EXPLODED, and one was crushed in between rocks.

With just how blatant the deaths are, it is a bit odd that Takatora would be the one to die off-screen, don't you think?
