Well I know the ending of Rave so okay, it does seem to be going in a similar direction, though I don't know if he'll do a fake out death with Natsu or not. I'm fine with Wendy not changing and staying an eternal loli *shrugs* Not every girl needs to have giant breasts.
Well, when I read the Manga the first time I missed it as well, but there was more than just the Main character death fakeout.
In the last chapters several characters sacrifice themselves. Let loses his humanity and it´s implied that he dies from exhaustion, Belnika blows herself up and receives a hole through her chest and Nibel sacrifices his lifeforce and turns into an old geezer. Furthermore the whole world was destroyed severly in a Vortex of Armageddon.
But during the final chapter everything is fine again. None of the characters remember how all was fixed untill we get the answer in the form of the Deus ex Machina that´s responsible for the whole story to begin with, which brings the main character back to life.
And I don´t blame Hiro. If he went through with all of it he´d have written the most bleak Battle Shounen I´ve ever encountered. And now this chapter Acnologia unleashed Hell on earth. Those houses he burned probably had people in them, you get my point.
