That's why you introduce new characters and are picky about who you kill.

Is it possible to bring a character back without ruining the power of their death scene? I say yes as long as you don't go wild with ressurections

Killing characters for the sake of killing them is the problem in writing. If character death is a planned, integral part of the storyline (as in, there's a specific reason for the death to occur), that's probably a different matter - the issue then is whether or not the death (and consequences!) is written well or badly.

I don't see Pyrrha's death as being an example of encouraging people to take the risks of the show seriously. To me, the point of Pyrrha's death was to awaken Ruby's powers. The question is, is there a reason why Ruby's powers can only be unlocked through something so deeply emotional, or is that the case for all power (Jaune's Aura had to be unlocked, suggesting his power wasn't easily accessible either)?

Guess Pyrrha was a literal key character then.

Only useful in opening the potential of others. Guess it's too late for Blake tho...tongue

I'm afraid that I also expect her death to be a key for Jaune as well - both in terms of power and mentality.

Maybe if they collect those scattered ashes, they could somehow...bring Gladiator back to life.

Clearly more people must be sacrificed to awaken Blake's hidden powers.

Alternately, she go to Namek and ask Super Kami Guru.

They brought Donut, Church, and Tex back so I don't see why they won't bring Pyhrrah back

[up] Because it's not the same show, and given that the original creator died, I doubt they're going to deviate much from the original concept he gave for the show. If Pyrrha stays dead, she stays dead.

Pyrrha was a poor catalyst for Ruby. If it were Weiss or Yang or Jaune himself then yeah that would make sense, as they were very important to her. They'd barely interacted for the show. She was a friend yeah but they weren't that close. If anything it should have been Penny but that didn't do it for Ruby for some reason.

I think Ruby's awakening could be seen this way:

Firstly she was smacked around by Mercury, ultimately failing to save Penny on time. Then the Grimm invasion comes, she gets into the main ship and she gets smacked around by Roman some more. Then she is called by Jaune and he tells her that Pyrrha is in danger and she also fails to save her and she watch as Cinder gruesomely executes her.

And that happened on Roughly the same night. So it's understandable why she awakened her hidden eye powers

So I should support their stupid practices? That I should make something what I would otherwise have no intention of doing? That I should create an account I would do absolutely nothing with and probably forget I even have that so I might possibly end up creating another?

Nah, screw this crap.

Yes, just look at Spock's death in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. However, Pyrrha didn't have ANYWHERE near the build-up to it like Spock. Also, way back in the original 60s story where Superman died.

Honestly, the only way for Pyrrha to come back would be if she was on team RWBY, but she's not, soo... Yeah.

It's called "if it isn't broke, why suddenly fuck everything up"? Again, I would have literally no other reason to make an account to RT, so why force me to? That is just dumb, and I will not let them have their ways.
