Trust me, much more people are going to die before Lubbock.

I counted more than 20 named/more or less relevant character deaths in the manga so far. And that considering that we only have 53 chapters.

In comparison, FMA (which had 108 chapters of about the same length as AgK's) had a total of about 15 named/relevant character deaths. At this rate, AgK will rack up an impressive body count when it ends.

The numbers aren't precise because they depend on who you consider to be a relevant character and not cannon fodder. Of course they are greater if you count literally all visible on-panel deaths.
