I wonder if there would be a way to do it so that we don't really realize it's a flashback and we don't know who the characters are until the culmination. This was sort of the case with Kakashi on Naruto. The only difference being we already didn't know anything about Kakashi and his team other than that he was taught by Minato. But if we were to follow a team around without strong reference to who they are (maybe Raven always wore a mask, you know, a different mask; hell, maybe Qrow wears a mask) and they don't refer to each other by name (I've seen entire arcs done without the characters ever referring to each other except maybe using pronouns... or maybe I'm imagining this) or maybe they have nicknames for each other... the point is it would be an attempt to preserve a sense surprise at the sudden death of a protagonist.

Or maybe there's some merit to having that sense of expectation to a death you know will happen but are just not clear on when... I don't know.
