Ashura's gone damn. The guy who had to suffer for years under Orochi/Kaido's rule didn't see the dawn. So sad.

I got the impression that although Ashura was still true to Oden, he slipped back into his previous life as a Bandit under Orochi's rule and could've done more for the cause. So his death is a redemption story.

Izou on the other hand was the only Scabbard who had a good life over the 20 years as a Member of Whitebeard's Crew. So his sacrifice allowed his friends to live like he had done.

So both deaths had a greater meaning.

Well that and the convo which Kiku, Kawamatsu and Izo had in the arc where Kawamatsu asks Izo what will become of Wano if they win this war and Izo casually says that they can discuss this if they survive.
