For your theory to work at all, we need;


 * the gods to not control something that only they have been shown to control.


 * The afterlife which we have a single escapee of with thousands of years of experience, access to a lamp with the being most likely to know alternate methods, and not one person has mentioned the paranormal outside of the "death->afterlife" one-way highway.

Irl we have nearly every religion mentioning ways back, ghosts, etc... but we've heard nothing of the sort in Remnant, not even so much as a Scooby Doo mystery ghost back

when comedy was the norm and the protags were "those meddling kids and that dog".

That's just too big a detour NOT to at least hint at, and RT's best indicators since Pyrrha's

death of Pyrrha's potential continued existence all point to ->NOpe with a capital NO. I tihink that you are asserting certainties where none exist. We simply don't know what the status of "ghosts" are in RWBY's world. We simply know that the God of Light brought back Ozma. That's really it. RWBY is a still-developing world and it has only addressed what it has needed to address. We know nothing aboutt the extent of the gods' powers or their limitations, except to know that they are not omniscient, which may suggest they are not omnipotent. As for evidence of Pyrrha's potentiol continued existence, I addressed this in my very first post on this topic. There is some evidence that something is going on re: her possible spiritual presence. The leaf/statue incidenti in vol. 6 is the most compelling, but we also have the still-unexplained incident of Ruby hearing Pyrrha's voice in her dreams in vol. 4. The evidence is sparse, but not entirely lacking. As I said before, I am entirely against the idea of Pyrrha coming back to life - nothing would cheapen her death more. But there is some reason to think that she is not entirely gone and the show itself has made those suggestions.
