Another theory i've been thinking about similar to my jaune theory about him and ruby's similarity to taiyang and summer, when they revealed that Ozpin can reincarnate into unwilling canidates i thought about why we didn't get any foreshadowing of that other than blake calling to it in the first volume when she tells ruby about the book she is reading; "A body with two souls fighting for control." Then it hit me. That maybe Ozpin's power is considered a curse because the person he reincarnates into disappears over the course of his stay.

Think about it, Ozpin's memories are slowly replacing Oscar's, we never see Ozpin switch personalities or act weird(act as if he's a different person for no unexplained reason) in any volume before his "death" or talk to himself. What if the the person Ozpin was in before Oscar( or any version before that) wasn't willing to become a fighter for his sake? Would he take control and never give their body back? If so that makes Raven kinda right when it comes to not trusting him as he see's his needs above all others (which doesn't make him evil necessarily because it's for a good cause but it is a bitch thing to do, given if im right Oscar had his whole life ahead of him.) he probably see's it as a necessary stepping stone to sweep under the rug just like how he could have fought cinder off without pyrrha(stillwoulda died but now we know that doesn't matter) but decided to use her even if it meant sacrificing her. And well all know what happened to her.

We don't REALLY need Oscar as a character to be honest writing wise all we need is Ozpin. so what if the current episodes with Oscar in them are to bond the viewers to him only for him to disappear once it's revealed that he steals bodies and not just shares them?

I'm aware this sets up continuity issues with the writing if it were true, like if he doesn't steal bodies then why didn't we get forshadowing of it in the early volumes other for the reasoning that it would spoil the suprise and a few other things like everyone around him being okay with it. unless they don't know. What do you guys think? Should they or shouldn't they?

Just some food for thought.
