Ah t if you read my Glynda analysis you would know that Ozpin is not the true protector of Beacon, that's Glynda. It's has nothing to do with where or how he is deafeated. The main purpose of killing is still there if he survives. He can still advice Ruby, even defeated. He is the character that is being established as the one who knows what's coming and will prepare Ruby for it. That's his main purpose in the story. Once Ruby is prepared and the main baddies arrive, it's time for him to make way for the new generation. For the hero to grow you must remove the security blanket she  has and let her grow into her role. By removing the heroes support structure, They can only rely on what you want your story to be centered on. The New generation in this case, RWBY, JNPR maybe even CRDL. The story isn't about Ozpin, Glynda or their generation. They're moment to shine is in the past, they are now only supporting character and when you need one of then to stop supporting...


 * ) It's nice to see he's made an impact on you, that means Monty and friends are doing good because if we don't relate to the character, his death would amount to nothing. Right now it's difficult to see where i'm going with this because I'm focusing on individual trees. But once i'm finished with those I'll focus on the forest and show you where I'm going with this.
