Feels like a weird choice for Boutarou to survive his numerous recent encounters only to die basically immediately, but I can't imagine he'll be able to survive all that cumulative damage so... rip, you were hot if nothing else..
If Boutaro dies here I'm not entirely sure what the point of him was narratively? Aside from fleshing Shiraishi out a bit more I guess, but it felt like he was gonna have a big impact on things
well lets wait and see I guess
