It's also too focused on major character dead. If the meaning behind the dead is to show us that sh*t is getting real then there is really no need to murder a major character. They could have done that with Breach by showing us a bloodbath but instead we see that the people were saved, the problem was solved quickly and everyone was proud of their work, even those who didn't do anything at all.

So I could argue that we can use something like that but sadly, they already did it and it failed greatly.

Next point is about how much impact it will leave to the audience. Shadow mentioned the time each Volume lasts and that's a good observation. If we watch it from that POV, we really can't give any f*cks about any death given the poor development we received so far. The only one who can die and we could care for is Jaune since we've seen him struggling, suffering and fighting back. His death would add a pretty dark tone to the series and show that Heroic Resolve doesn't mean Plot Armor. But apart from Jaune, no one else really means anything to the audience since we have yet to meet them. We know nothing about JNPR, SSSN, CRDL or CFVY so their deaths wouldn't have a big impact on the audience.

However, the big impact would be on the characters which is what Miles and Kerry have been doing this whole time. Everything is for the characters, not for the audience and examples of that would be the plot twists which honestly were only for the characters because it was obvious for us that Blake is a cat and Penny is a robot. So I'm starting to think Anon might be right about Major Character Deaths being a thing in the future even if it's with my own reasoning.
