Unfortunately he probably won't stay dead and continue to drag Erza down with him. He is already a ruined character but people seem to like him so his plot armor is strong. It might all be trick to confuse the demons that he is dead or Midnight just intervened and he is not dead.
You need to stop using Jellal as an excuse that drag Erza down, yeah like she needs him for that. Her fight against Minerva doesn't have anything to do with Jellal, doesn't stop her from going God Mode Sue and stomps her. Some even hate her more than Natsu.
Technically I'm not really an Erza hater, but I find it lol worthy for those who keep using him as a scapegoat for every hole in her character.
Every character has flaws and Erza is no exception. I just don't like how Jellal is now a cheap plot device for romance/drama for her. Since FT was not originally planned this far I give him some credit for ending things how they did originally: The guy she looked up to who got corrupted was finally put down for good and even had a moment of clarity realizing he became evil because of twisted ideals. This allowed her to get closure and move on with her life. Now since FT continued he got revived (maybe at the convincing of his editor like with Lisanna?) and how is just there so she can have drama over the "will they or won't they" question, and it was poorly done.
