Unlike Tite Kubo, whom I'm surprised is still a published mangaka at this point, Kishi knows the value in a character death. If Guy dies, and you're right, its looking likely, don't see it as: "Kishi's crazy! He's killing a good character!" Just like Neji, Guy has fulfilled his character. He is indeed a very good character and that is exactly what will make it meaningful and impactful. A story is neither realistic or likely when good guys live unscathed and all the bad guys drop like flies.

If Guy goes out in the next chapter or two, he'll go out with a bang.
