Agreed.Nagant's character deserves a far better way to kick the bucket than that. It might just be me, but I'm simply bitter with how this series has handled character deaths for characters with a lot of potential.
Nighteye was kinda okay I guess, but his death suffers due to the overall quality of the Overhaul arc.
Curious dying was an absolute shame and waste of character with high potential that Horikoshi didn't have plans for. Curious would've been perfect for the current arc, she would've spearheaded smearing the name of the heroes and the hero society because that was her specialty. Then again, all of the remaining MLA members got shafted so perhaps it wouldn't have made a difference even if she actually lived.
Midnight's death was just blah. I wouldn't have felt as much emotion for her death if I haven't read Vigilantes where she actually got significant screentime. It was a sad death, as people argued, due to the reactions of Class 1-A to her death. But IMO it just made it worse, it's a lose-lose situation where either we think of her as a wasted character who got killed off for the sake of having a significant death for the hero's side of the series, or she was just a minor character anyways that was only there to make an emotional impact for the students who are similarly minor characters themselves, so they actually all matter so little.
And now Nagant, who honestly is the type of character that would usually die at the hands of the villains. I think another thing that grinds my gears is that she's far cooler and more interesting than the majority of the villains ever introduced in the series, and now she's probably gonna bite the dust.
