What you're suggesting is six significant deaths over the next five hours of show. No, I'm suggesting at most 6 deaths over 2 seasons... assuming they have the first possible cataclysm(like the beginning of a war, another breach-like event, a natural/Grimm disaster, or the destruction of Beacon) occur in one of those 2 seasons, most likely not even 4 deaths, and this number is including ALL named characters... even those that don't exist yet.

The death/injury of Pyrrha I still see as possible in Volume 3, 4, or 5.... so when I say maybe 4 deaths in S4 I am really including that death, as well as the deaths of Ozpin or Glynda and one other professor, which I include as a necessity of any disaster that requires RWBY leave Beacon(aside from deputizing them in a war... at which point I can still see 2 other characters dying as part of the war effort).
