(Please note that this post will be going into spoiler territory all the way to V6E2)

RT should kill someone this volume, and I trust that they will.

The only major character deaths in the series thus far all happened in Volume 3, with Penny, Pyrrha, Ozpin (sorta), Amber, and Torchwick. Since then, all we've gotten is Fennec Albain, Leonardo Lionheart, and Vernal. The first two were minor antagonists, and the latter was sorta impactful, but none of them were anywhere near the 4 from V3. They've been doing fake-out deaths since then, and while some (like Qrow) kinda worked, others (like Weiss) definitely didn't. They need to actually kill someone again in order to raise the narrative stakes again.

So who?

1. Maria Calavera

She's an obvious kill. She's a charming, sassy old lady that Ruby is likely to bond with (going off of the V6 OP), so killing her may activate the Silver Eyes in a more refined way and finally give us a bit of explanation on that. Still, I don't think killing her will acomplish the goal that will ultimately better the show.

2. Qrow Branwen

I only think he's in danger because of the opening's imp-like arms. He may be in danger, and killing him would certainly change the show later down the road.

3. Nora Valkyrie

I really hope I'm wrong about this one, but she's seperated from Jaune and Ren in V6E1. Ren makes that comment about them promising to return, and... I really hope I'm wrong, but Nora might be in danger.

4. Antagonists

The show has a few too many villains, and I think some of them are bound to die.

Adam Taurus has completely devolved into rage, as judging by V6E1. His character has reached the end of the road. I am fairly confident that he'll show up during the Volume's final battle surprisingly, we'll see him maskless for the first time, and then he'll die.

Hazel is combatatively not very threatening. I think he's run out of value as a character, which puts him on the chopping block. Unless his new tail is fucking fire, Tyrian is on the same boat. However, it's questionable whether Mercury is in that same boat. He did kill Marcus Black, who was a professional assassin, but we don't know enough about that battle to scale Merc based on it.

So, do y'all agree that someone's in trouble? Do y'all agree with my guesses at who? Am I stupid?
