Seriously, what kind of question is that. If the creator plan to kill off an entire team I dont think it would be one of the main teams. The reason or justification for prryha's death was for Jaune's growth. It's been mentioned that Jaune has great aura and potenital but even with Prryha's help he still wasn't any help. His love and his loss will help make him grow as a character and in strength.

You guys who keep saying prryha should/can come back, it defeats the purpose for this set up. Jaune can't grow if he keeps depending on Prryha's strength. I'm not advocating that Pyrrha should or must come back. My position is that she was a wonderful character that I really liked and I find it fun to theory craft ways that she might return so we can have some more (without any expectation that it will actually happen).

My favourite theory at the moment involves a corrupted Pyrrha fighting against Jaune et al and the emotional struggle that would result for both parties - I think that's a valid avenue for growth. I'm not really on either side of the argument, She's probably dead but on the other hand who knows. I will say that from a literary standpoint this would be one of the more interesting ways for her to come back. I agree. it would also resolve some of my concerns about Jaune's future.

I think we can all agree that, while he isn't a title character, he is central. However, without Pyrrha, his narrative is sort of flapping loose in the wind. Apart from a possible (but, for me, totally unwished for love story with RWBY) he's just going to be a broken toy from now on. I'm sure Miles and Kerry can resolve any issue with direction over the next few volumes, without re-introducing Pyrrha, but if they try anything that does not involve Pyrrha it will need to include long periods of push-back to be at all believable. That doesn't sound like something that would be very interesting, as a side story.
