Just because Roman is entertaining doesn't mean he should be brought back solely for that. What relevance does he even have to the plot at this point? He's a subordinate, he was meant to be disposable. Yes, it's a shame he's gone, but would you rather him stick around, say a couple one liners, and then have nothing else to do while the world burns?
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?- They can't discuss his Semblance because that would be a spoiler.
- They all agreed he's creepy, abusive, and uncomfortable (for the RT crew) to work with.
- They said he's not a stable person.
I can't remember if they said anything else.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.I'm not believing Adam was abusive to Blake in the past until word of animation proves it wrong. They said Neo would do something that would make us hate her in this volume and that never happen so I'm holding judgement.
Hyped for Hyperdimension Neptunia V 2Also, completely unrelated to the live-stream, but this is kind of interesting.
In my binge-watching of RWBY, I noticed something:
Ember Celica makes nearly the same sound as the Dah'ren Mohran Heavy Bowguns from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. And trust me, I should know as I've used that particular series for a while (in fact, it's a part of my permanent stable as it packs one HELL of a punch).

Kind of a shame. I was hoping he'd be an Evil Is Cool type. Alas.

Oh shit, that's something I could see; Roman and to a lesser extent Penny being dead struck me very much as a Shoo Out the Clowns moment, and Zwei is pretty much a character that exclusively exists as part of a series of drawn out jokes.

I don't know what Tweet triggered it, but they did go off on a tangent a couple of times trying to think of ship names for Zwei/Ozpin and Zwei/Ironwood.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.So yeah, from what people on the official forums are saying, during the stream, they mentioned Roman was dead, and didn't really talk about Penny's status after episode 9. One person said they specifically talked around the issue, which makes me think something's going to come of that.
Hope springs eternal.
If you couldn't tell, Penny was one of my favorite characters. Second favorite even, the first being Ruby because I'm the kind of boring person who tends to like the protagonist.

Hey, Ruby is a perfectly likeable person. I still want her to get some character focus, because for someone with top billing she hasn't really gotten much development yet.
And for the record, I believe someone being entertaining is a fantastic reason to keep someone around after his or her plot relevance has ended. This series is meant to entertain, right? Roman helps with that. Him staying alive doesn't hurt the plot in any way, whereas killing him deprives the show of someone genuinely fun to watch.
Besides, if you have to write someone out of a story, murder isn't always the only solution, or the best solution. Never throw away perfectly serviceable tools; there's always a chance they could be useful later.
but HOW?
Honestly, she did get development, but it was rushed to the point of straining the Suspension of Disbelief; she started out shy, more interested in weapons than other people, incapable of working with others, and unable to talk with anyone other than Yang or Jaune without making a fool of herself. Now she's...Well she's not unreasonably shy anymore, just awkward and occasionally inappropriate.

I can see that.
"Screw this. Fuck Cinder, I'm laying low." -pulls out his scroll and texts Neo If you're okay, I'll be in Vacuo. Done with C. Meet me there.-

Roman's only chance of survival is The Stinger or something like that. Okay, not his only chance, but if he's gonna make a comeback, that's by far the most appropriate time.
It'll feel forced if he randomly shows up 2 volumes down the line.
Exactly.

If that is what Neo is going to pull off, i don't see why i would hate her ![]()

Neo's illusions seemed inanimate, meaning it would need to be Emerald who bailed Torchwick out.
So update on what was said in the livestream; . In regards to Velvet's weapons, they said that the last weapon had to be Penny's so we could see it one "last" time. That does not bode well. It's not a flat out confirmation of "she's dead and isn't coming back", but barring a scenario where she's rebuilt with a totally different weapons system, things look bleak.

Hey, Wyld. What did they say in the livestream about Adam?
