[up]is a efective way to make these stake matter, otherwise it become a silly show with a "can out hero get out of this?" Also this arc is enought for her, it put her in a great responsability (just like Achilles who was given the choice) in the end she chose battle to the end...and to the end it was.

Now she is only a pile of ashes....

@New Guy: Not really?

Not every person gets to get their problems resolved. Had the tournament and Cinder's Plan come up, there was a chance that Arkos would get it worked out, hooked up, boinked like bunnies and everything would be dandy.

But life is not fair sometimes.

And her death was not pointless; it was to portray Cinder as a monster not much better than Grimm; not just a cruel schemer and manipulator, but someone who would cut down an innocent just because they got in her way.

Someone, I presume, Ruby would feel less inclined to spare.

[up]x9 She mentioned throughout the entire volume that she wanted to fulfill her destiny and become a hero, which is why she opted to fight C Inder in the first place. She probably knew she didn't stand a chance, but she felt it was her job as a huntress to do something. She also finally let her feelings be known to Jaune before going.

That's a character arc as far as I'm concerned. And once again, stop getting so emotionally distraught over a fictional character, like seriously dude...chill out :\

Oh God, can you imagine. Jaune going to talk to her family and them telling him about how Pyrrha spoke of him in her letters (/calls/emails/whatever).

Oh, I don't doubt we'll get to meet Pyrrha's family. Maybe she had a younger sibling looking up to her, too. Maybe everybody in her hometown is like "Our Pyrrha is fine and kicking Grimm's asses.".

But then Jaune will break down in tears and the ugly truth will rear out.

Maybe Pyrrha will have a sister that'll take her place?

I don't know why I'm getting so worked up about this. It infuriates me to no end.

Maybe it was because Pyrrha was killed execution style on screen, seeing Yang going through a BSOD, and Roman being eaten alive in the past two episodes.

[up][up] My theory is that they meet CFVY along the road, travel for a while together, then meet the "favorite Grimm" that was supposed to appear in volume 4. Which proceeds to headchomp Velvet, and drag Yatsuhashi away to his death after the fight goes south and they're forced to flee.

@blackyakuza I have a way around that. Phyrra was sent to cortana( that's what I'm going to call Salem). Salem corrupts and twists Phyrra to her will and sends her to demoralize the team. At the end of the volume, she comes face to face with Jaune. The confrontation starts as aI know your in there somewhere fight which transitions into a kill me or stay your hand which stalls Pyrrah. Finally, Jaune uses the link between her and him to engage in a battle in the center of the mind with evil Pyrrah and a mental image of cortana on one side and Jaune and a representation of the good still inside Pyrrah. Jaune and good Pyrrah win but Pyrrah becomes even more of hero with bad publicity. She decides to walk the earth for most of the next volume and returns to JNR in the last few episodes of the season

Honestly, I think it says a lot about the strength of the writing when you felt enough for these characters that you ARE upset when something bad happened to them, such as a major injury or death.

[up][up]There's a difference between feeling sympathy for a tragic event and discerning reality from fiction; I'm upset too, but I still ultimately know its a fictional series so I'm completely distraught and breaking down either.

The only way to win is to pull a Sans, and find a way to stop the show from moving forward.

If the show stops, Cinder and Co never get to kill anyone else. We'll win before everything becomes a pyrrhic victory.

The "Do you believe in destiny?" line really got to me. Still does.

I wonder if she was talking about Jaune.

Anyone else kind of hoping that Salem is the oft-theorized humanoid Grimm?

@unknowing: JNPR is probably safe for the forseeable future, they might even be safe for the remainder of the series as far as deaths go (though other forms of trauma are fair game). Killing them all off in quick succession would lose its impact once it's clear they're all doomed.

SSSN seems more likely to end up involved in Blake's arc, if at all, and of the secondary teams (who aren't in Hate Sink territory), CFVY is the least developed, while still being fan favorites. If they're developed for an entire volume like Pyrrha was, then die at some point midway through volume 5, that would be heartbreaking.

[up][up][up][up][up] It was curious to see Cinder pause for a moment as if considering the answer.

Now the question is; how did she end up with Salem in the first place?

@Demon: Not before trying and failing to fight her and getting horrifically burned for his trouble, only to get Rebuilt as a cyborg. Got to live up to the legend somehow, and killing them all off would just be kinda lame.

That just drives the nail deeper, considering Pyrrha's fate...
