People are still theorizing that Pyrrha is alive somehow, but Jen pretty much confirmed on her Twitter that her role as Pyrrha is over.

Still, I was hoping there was a way she could be back. My first thought was that Ozpin was the one who created the illusion of Pyrrha dying so he could intentionally awaken Ruby's silver-eyed warrior powers. It sounded plausible to me, but I really have no faith in the theory.

It just feels to me like Pyrrha's character development had gotten to a point where it was important, yet not complete. So it's really bothering me that they killed her off already. It's left a bitter taste in my mouth, instead of a bittersweet one. In any case, I'm actually a little angry at Ozpin for getting Pyrrha involved in this ordeal in the first place.

As far as the rest of the finale is concerned, I liked it. I'm glad we finally got to meet Taiyang, and I'm glad the big bad is not Raven. And I'm looking forward to next season, hoping we get some nice character development out of Ren and Nora, hoping we get to see Atlas through Weiss's perspective and perhaps Vacuo through Blake's? I guess we don't know where Blake is going yet.

To think I was so angry at Adam in episode 11 for chopping off Yang's arm. It's really nothing compared to how I'm feeling now.
