I really don't like that draft, because it breaks the hierarchy by ranks, and I said that I liked that hierarchy. This is especially noticeable in the case of the manga characters, where the "deceased" section contains more characters than all the other sections together without any clear order.

My idea was to split the navbox into two parts, one for alive characters and the other for deceased ones; but seeing this example I'm not sure about it.

My opinion is that the navboxes should follow an organization in the style of "media" > "rank"; e.g.:

Manga No Regrets Before the Fall
 * Commander
 * Second-in-command
 * Squad Leaders
 * Others
 * Commander
 * Squad Leaders
 * Others
 * Commander
 * Squad Leaders
 * Others

etc.

However, this suggestion leads us to either breaking the hierarchy by amassing a lot of characters into a "deceased" section, or splitting the whole navbox into two parts.

Also, I noticed that the "former members" section represents a similar problem, so I suggest to simply keep every character into the row corresponding to their respective rank, and marking the deceased and former members with a certain symbol; for example, the cross for the deceased characters († ), and this another for the former members: § .

Both symbols can be easily modified to display an explanatory message as you can see if you hover the mouse on any of them.
