'I think that a ship being "sunk" is it being made explicitly non-canon. Rennora is basically canon at this point, and Nora dying would be an opportunity to explicitly canonize it. '

I think Neo is going to try and kill off Cinder this Volume, but will ultimately be killed off for real by her and join Roman in the afterlife... It may suck, but Cinder's character arc is far from over, and I think the one that's ultimately going to kill her off once and for all is Ruby, so until that happens, Cinder can't die. '''What character arc does Cinder have to complete? '''

Calling it now: Qrow's will be a fake-out "death" just like Volume 4. We need to know more from him about Summer Rose and Team STRQ's backstory, so he can't die just yet.

'''Not having faith in the writers seems to be common in the fandom, but I don't think they will repeat themselves like that. ''' ...

Hazel is probably going to die at Salem's feet in a "you have failed me for the last time" sort of way. A means to "provide an example" to everyone present (mainly Emerald if the trailer is to be believed; who knows...this might take place immediately before Salem's speech in it...) why failure is NOT an option for them. Calling it now...

'''I think that's likely, but you could argue that Tyrian's V4 blunder was much worse and that didn't cost him his life. '''

Maria is just a sacrificial lamb once she teaches Ruby everything she knows about silver eyes. She'll likely be the catalyst for Ruby's mastery of them via her death...
