I mean, the only entity there after Thordan was Nidhogg. I don't recall ANY mention of Lahabrea's soul or consciousness remaining in the eyes. Heck, we offed THREE Primals (counting Estinihog) with them; if Lahabrea's essence had still been in the eyes, you'd think he would have body hopped into the very tired Estinien, or that Zenos would have mentioned it after taking over Shinryu.

I don't think Lahabrea will be a physical presence in Pandemonium, but rather that it'll deal with his legacy. Not unless Lahabrea's character is heavily reworked in EW.

I don’t think it even needs a rework tbh. Again he’s an Unsundered. Plus they’ve had the protagonists live through far worse without any real plot explanation(Graha comes to mind). The fact they didn’t outright say he’s dead is very telling.

Stormblood spoilers:

Gosetsu got shot a few times from close range, probably tore a few muscles trying to hold the roof of a castle up long enough so everyone could escape, had said castle fall on him, nearly drowned and washed up on a deserted island with the person who tried to kill him in the first place. The first of those things should have killed him, followed by an entire castle falling down on his head. But...you know, details. I wasn't unhappy with his survival though, even though he probably shouldn't have survived at all.
