I'm confused for some of the people that want Pyrrha to be alive. Is this post about a hypothetical resurrection for Pyrrha, or wanting Pyrrha to resurrected in the show? Personally I want Pyrrha to be alive, but realistically, she's staying dead. It's like I DIDN'T just explain the stance some of us are taking on this whole debate. If you look at my posts beforehand, I describe what the point of this thread is. But if I must, I will explain again. Like many speculative pieces, this thread is dedicated to the theoretical scenario of a character, in this case Pyrrha, being brought back to life in RWBY.

However, we're not just simply being wishful thinkers. We're putting real thought into the possibility, making use of what knowledge we have, such as how RvB has set a precedent for bringing back characters that were assumed to be dead via alternative means, and the RWBYverse possessing magic and technology able to interact with the soul.

The next step is figuring out how to properly set up the idea of bringing characters back to life in the story and universe, and how to work around the contrived connotations that the concept seemingly carries with it. Remember that creators can retract statements all the time, such as when Akira toriyama retconned Majin Buu's origin from the original manga.
