Stranger Things Season 5 Volume 3 is set up to be the most brutal finale yet—and the body count won’t be random. In this breakdown, we predict everyone who dies (and why) in the final chapter: Hopper’s real goodbye, Sullivan’s consequence, Kali’s last stand, Vecna’s final severing, and the gut-punch twist that the “powered” Eleven may die without dying. Plus: the sacrifice that saves Dustin and shatters Hawkins—Steve Harrington’s final hero moment. If you want the most detailed, scene-by-scene death predictions for the Stranger Things 5 ending, this is it.
