RWBY hasn't shown anything yet that can bring the dead back, so as of right now we should assume the dead cannot be brought back to life until shown otherwise.

Turning to dust is also how Alexander Anderson in Hellsing dies, and he's got regeneration that puts him on a level playing field with fucking Alucard.

The latter of whom, notably, fades out of existence instead. And he DOES come back, because Cessation of Existence is easier to recover from than turning to dust.

I this point, they should bring phyrra back only to REALLY kill them.

"Toriyama decided too late in the game that he wanted to toss out Gohan as protagonist and make it about Goku after already building up how superior Gohan is to both of them. "

to be fair that is blame of fans who always want Goku to remain as portagonist, after seen Super and more, I think this was a terrible mistake

That's because Alucard absorbed Schrodinger's Quantum Mechanics powers. It wasn't so much Cessation of Existence as "too many souls to recognize myself, therefore, I don't exist"

I agree on this, and as I mentioned before, I don't want her to come back anyway. I'm just saying the way she died left more wriggle room to bring her back.

Even then, it's an assumption at best that Schrodinger's powers work in the absolute, because otherwise you have to be willing to believe that one Nazi scientist could somehow genetically engineer omnipresence into someone, and that's just ridiculous even for that setting.

I didn't even realize he had an origin. If it was in the manga, I'd forgotten it. I just assumed he sprang fully-formed into reality one day when he suddenly noticed that he existed.

Anyways, to get this back on RWBY's track, I am hoping for Penny to come back. If anyone can be brought back, it's her. She's a robot, she can be fixed!

Her death was, in my opinion, the most tragic moment in the series. She was so excited for her friendly tournament match. T.T Came right the f*ck out of nowhere and punched me right in the goddamn feels.

I'm not hopeful for Roman to return, just because he telegraphed his death too hard. The irony in being swallowed right after ranting about how he'll survive everything more or less demands finality.

EDIT: Fun fact, we made the mistake of watching RWBY Chibi before season 3 and got spoiled on Pyrrha's death. Me and mine spent the entire season playing, "Guess what kills her!"

When they were looking through Penny's blueprints, I was expecting Team Cinder to take control of her during the match and murder Pyrrha. ...to be honest, the actual outcome of that match was way more cruel. T.T

Which, like, I'm not sure how important that really was. Penny wasn't ripped apart by magnetic force. She was dismembered by the wires that tie her swords to her body. Had she been a flesh-and-blood human being, I'm pretty sure that still would have killed her.

I'm also not clear on how anyone could mistake Penny for a human being when her weapons clearly come out of a storage compartment in her back, but I digress.

We were binging Death Battle and wanted to learn more about Yang, so we picked up the show and got addicted. Then we binge-watched all three seasons plus Chibi (in the spoilerific wrong order) a couple weeks ago.

The Order of the Stick uses the "Disintegrate, Gust of Wind" combo here and there to firmly establish that a character can never be resurrected despite being a Dn D setting. When a character is turned to dust, that's a cue to the audience that they are gone forever.
Technically it's made clear that resurrection from being disintegrated is possible in OoTS (it is still D&D), it's just that the only living Cleric that's a high enough level to cast the spell needed is one of the main antagonists on top of having no use for it.

I understood that reference.

Also, the raped by Hitler thing was part of Hirano's pre-Hellsing hentai days in a story named "Doc's Story."

That's me and my household.

Roman was certainly a lot of fun, but I'm also quite fond of both Yang and Nora. They're my favorite characters in their respective groups. Yang because I'm usually partial to fiery berserker characters and Nora because she is constantly entertaining and steals the scene whenever she's onscreen.
