Even tho the flashbacks that were shown almost certainly put him dead, I still believe he's not dead yet. Maybe he'll pull off something like Candy Vegito from Dragon Ball while in that soul form?

It's like what happened with Diane in the Kingdom Infiltartion Arc, people were worried about her dying when situations like that happen in Shounen all the time and the character in question almost never dies.

The worries seem genuinely unfounded to me.

But I will say this, if he were to die, he's probably one of the better ones to do it too. And he's entertaining sure but I've always felt that people have made him out to be much deeper than he really is. He's a common archetype. He's been getting more development lately but before that, nothing about him has been particularly intersting to me. Ban is utterly my favorite character and the second place is Merlin and she's no where near the level of liking I due Ban! He's probably the most interesting and unique character in the series. He's the definition of "BADASS" in the show, like how Zoro is to the One Piece universe and like Kakashi to Naruto universe! So I'm dang diggly sure he's still there, and about to pull off something none of us expected.

Either that or King will appear and do something about it, maybe even Helbram will have a hand in it since he's a soul now and all. Um, okay. Well you're free to feel that way just like I'm free to express my opinion about Ban. Which coincidentally enough is very similar to how I feel about Zoro and Kakashi, i.e. they're not particularly unique or interesting either. I will say that Ban doesn't feel the role of "BADASS" as you put it like they do. He's always come off as the weakest to me.
