I think it's pretty likely that Asami is going to die. Just because like someone else said on here, the mangaka built up her character almost perfectly for that role. She's the first character that seemed to have had an effort to make us care about her. I know I felt some regret when I read that *bang* sound effect, it's got that bittersweet feeling of finality.
Also I think it would help show that the group as a whole was progressing to realize that they can't always save those they care about, which up until now they pretty much have with no consequences.
