RWBY has so many characters they could probably afford to kill off one or two of them for dramatic effect. I think most of those would be cheap shock-thrills, but I think it would be pretty meaningful in Sun's case. I could see him being killed off or wounded by Adam, giving Blake more of a personal wangsty reason for being more serious in V4. It'd also be a complete reversal of Blake's development so far, which brought her from cynical to much more idealistic. It'd be interesting and have meaningful consequences, basically.

That said it doesn't look like it'll happen just from the Ep10 preview. If anything I feel like Sun will turn up again at Beacon and be all like "Leave. Her. Alone" like he did with Torchwick in V1 E16. Then Blake and Sun fight Adam together and win. Which sounds less cool.
