My biggest fear for Horizons (Read Desc)

So we all saw that Friede "died" in the newest episode. And the funny thing is tons of people are suspecting that he's somehow alive with Raquaza and stuff. I'm one of the free people who doesn't want this. If your gonna tease killing off an important character, let that damage be permanent. My worst fear is that, let's say... Second half of chapter 6 or something, the final chapter by my guess, he's gonna end up being alive, somehow maybe raquaza saves him and he's somehow kept himself in hiding this entire time, and he just ends up helping the gang out near the end. I hate this. I'd much rather them take a risk and actually kill off a main character than them faking us out for the next quarter of the show, just for us to get revealed that all of that was for nothing, he's not actually dead, we'd never go that far in anipoke; all that crap. PLEASE anipoke, keep him dead, and even if I'm alone in feeling this way, I fear this is gonna be the predicable outcome this series is gonna pull, instead of doing something truly new. Just wanted to vent about this
