Does Guren Die In Seraph Of The End

Let's talk Seraph of the End. Specifically, Guren Ichinose. Does he, or doesn't he, kick the bucket? That's the big question!

Look, I'm just gonna say it. My unpopular opinion? Guren has died like, fifty times. Maybe not literally. But spiritually? Absolutely.

The Undead Guren Experience

Seriously, this dude is less alive than my houseplant after I forget to water it for a week. And that thing is a succulent! They're supposed to be immortal.

We see him "die" in flashbacks. We see him possessed. We see him… well, being Guren. Which, let's be honest, is basically a walking corpse most of the time.

So, does he *actually* die? In the sense of "lights out, curtain call, end of the show"? That's debatable. But a part of him? Gone. Forever.

The "Actually Alive" Argument

Okay, okay, I hear you. He's breathing. He's fighting. He's making questionable decisions that somehow keep the plot moving. Valid points!

But is that *really* living? When you're constantly burdened with guilt, betrayal, and a general sense of doom? Sounds like my last tax season.

And let's not forget the whole "reincarnation" shenanigans. It's all very confusing. Did the old Guren die? Was it just a personality reboot? The world may never know.

Death of the Soul

I'm arguing for a different kind of death here. The death of innocence. The death of hope. The death of… well, the old Guren we maybe saw glimpses of.

That Guren? The one who presumably cracked jokes and maybe enjoyed a decent cup of tea? He's gone. Replaced by a cynical, strategic mastermind. A bit like turning into a super edgelord.

So, while his body might be walking and talking, his soul? I think it's filed for a permanent vacation. A one way ticket to "Not Dealing With This Anymore" island.

The Grand Conclusion (Maybe)

So, did Guren die? Yes. And no. Confused? Good. That's how I feel every time I try to unravel the Seraph of the End plot.

He's Schrödinger's Guren. Both dead and alive until the series actually decides to give us a definitive answer. My bets are on "complicated."

Ultimately, the question of Guren's mortality becomes almost philosophical. Is survival always worth the cost? Is there a point where living becomes worse than dying? These are the big questions, people! Deep thoughts for a Sunday afternoon.
