I think that Tri-Edge is a remmanent of the data that was once Kite. That data, in my mind, had been corrupted with the Data Draining of all of the Eight Phases. Seeing how that character is not "inhabited" anymore by a player, it is much more prone to change. Therefore, I think that all of the Eight Phases have corrupted and grown in the Kite (Now Tri-Edge) shell.
Now with that being explained, my thoughts on Tri-Edge dieing:
I think that he will be killed and that killing him will release the eight phases (with Tri-Edge being the new Cubia). But- from his death, a new program will be born to take the place of Aura and the Twilight Bracelet. The new Aura- the Kite remmenant. The new T.B.- well...the twilight bracelet, but with a new look.
Beside having to Fight Tri-Edge twice I assume he well be G.U. Cubia. since he can heal him safe with Data Drain. I do have an theory about this. Tri-Edge can be an clone or some sort? but if Bandai finds out people like the game beisde PK. and Anti-Hero Haseo and an Evil Kite look a like beside the story I do think they might twist the story line a bit since G.U. is unlike the old .Hack Game. I'm not making sense I know that. we'll just have to Wait for May 17-18 win the Game come out in Japanese ver and find out what really happines if Tri-Edge is the Final Boss in G.U. vol.1. or we can wait until Fall win the US ver come out and find out there and then. btw I don't think Haseo and Tri-Edge would become allys not unless they really twist the ending story but people are right win the do meet blood well fly.
Seeing as the Phases were just "bodies" anyway with no independent AI, that really doesn't change anything. Infact, it looks like the Phases actually HAVE AI for the first time, now. Previously they were just the limbs of Morganna with no independence, but they're basically AI's of their own now, atleast to a degree.
Ew. I hate having the game end in a cliffhanger. At least give us a different storyline for each game, and somehow have each storyline connect to each other. -.-

Sorry, I'm kind of slow today, so forgive me if this is a stupid question. But when have the new phases displayed intelligence? I thought they were just a new power the ∞8.
The Phases seem able to select who they bond with, and Tarvos seemed to be the one in control. There's also those that theorize that one of Sakubo's personality is the Gorre AI, or whatever. It also seemed like Skeith came out on his own when Anna appeared.
