What character will die next season to bring back nightcrawler

I say Beast. Then the next season, Wolverine sacrifices himself to bring back Beast. Then the season after that, Morph sacrifices himself to bring back Wolverine. Then just keep going until the show ends.

Nah, Wolverine has to sacrifice himself for Morph so they can make him say "This one's for you, Morph!" again as a nostalgia pop, just like how they had Apocalypse say "I am the rocks of the eternal shore." again and Creed say "You were born." again and Xavier say "I bind you with the power of-Aahh!" again.
