Jaune's semblance was litterally tailored to allow him to save Weiss life.

Add other things like Ozpin's reincarnation.

These things show that the producer can and will save character's lives.

So, why killing off a favourite one, Pyrrha?

They wanted to prove the point that the show was not all laugh and comedy, and they did it in the worsth way.

Pyrrha's death was pointless and avoidable. A deliberate attempt to show us that they are badass and can kill off main characters just for the sake of it.

I would have forgiven them if they were coherent and in the end of Volume 5 killed off also Weiss, instead of creating the " oh so convenient Jaune's semblance " that saved the day.

They don't fool me. Pyrrah had to die for no particular reason save for showing " how mature and dark the show is, even main characters can die ".

What a joke. Well, no, she needed to die because it needed to be a real defeat in addition to all the other reasons given. It also was needed to serve as motivation for the characters to move on to the next battle. Also, Weiss is one of the few characters who just plain can't die, at least not until we get to the very end. She is a titular character. Plus, her being saved is partly about Jaune as he was unable to save Pyrrha, but being able to save Weiss is a boost to his morale. Killing off another girl he fawned over so close to the last one is the kind of thing that would take his character down a much darker path than they obviously intend.
