Unless the pod is going to remove the arrow somehow. So she'd still drown in her own blood even if she was revived. That is one of the many assumptions being made by Arkantos. We don't even know the arrow pierced her lung. Presuming she died of heart failure from shock, then even if it did there would only be bleeding from the point where she was revived until Pyrrha was incinerated and her Aura able to restart Amber's Aura. It is also assuming that the burning-hot arrow did not just cauterize any wounds so as to stop any bleeding from occurring. Yet another assumption is that the arrow is like glass and would shatter like glass, even though it is composed of Dust.

It is, in fact, the reverse. You make far more assumptions than I do with what you call an assumption typically being regular speculation. Saying we don't know how two Auras in one body would interact is not an assumption and speculating what could result is also not an assumption. Only things you could call assumptions are thing like me assuming a skilled huntress, or more accurately two skilled huntresses in one body, would be capable of escaping a Grimm-infested area. That is not even remotely unreasonable.

Second, explain to me exactly how Amber would get out of the elevator shaft, because if she's the dominant one like your theory suggests, that mean using Pyrrha's Semblance is a no-go. Here you are again making assumptions and here you are making assumptions about somebody else's speculation. I have said several times that I do not think it would start out with Amber being dominant and even then I suggested elements of Pyrrha would remain. You can mix milk in with coffee, but that doesn't mean you lose the flavor of milk or the flavor of coffee. What you end up with is both flavors blended together. Ambyrrha could very easily have two Semblances with one being Pyrrha's and the other being Amber's.

Thidly, bringing Amber back makes no sense from a storytelling perspective, because it adds nothing. Amber, at least as far as we knew, had no connections outside of the Brotherhood, and has only said two words in the show. The only reason she was important to anyone in the show was as a plot device, not as a character. All bringing her back would do would be drain screentime from the main characters.

You are not really paying attention to anything I say. Before you once more went about dumping on my speculation in an arrogant manner, I profferred an idea for how it would work. Ambyrrha would be Amber consciously, but many aspects of her would be reminiscent of Pyrrha and she would know things Pyrrha knows and feel things Pyrrha feels. Even though she would be effectively a stranger to JNR, she would also know them and be familiar with them, while they would be able to sense Pyrrha in her knowing all the while she is not really there anymore consciously and that the conscious person they are dealing with is a stranger. Not too hard to imagine the storytelling potential involved.
