Nami's death has never sat well with me. It seems Gatoh regrets it too, though he didn't change it for Invisible Victory (of course the Director and Producers may not have allowed him to).
This has led to me musing how her death might have been avoided and how it might effect the rest of the series. Is there a way to make Sousuke hell bent on going after Kurama without killing Nami? Did she even need to be a hostage?
Perhaps a surviving Nami could have taken the role of the whispered girl Sousuke saved early in the series (Sara Millar/Mira Kudan/whatever the heck her name is) in helping realize the Fairy Feather. Though I think that girl might also have been involved in helping develop the ARX-8 which came earlier.
Alternately, perhaps after being taken hostage and everything she would wish to part ways with Sousuke (though hopefully without too much ill will).
