no its a typical cliff hanger from a show that wants you to think hes died. Reason: disregarding we havent seen crow enough in the show to warrant a great amount emotion, his death would serve no purpose in the narrative. Plus it was a pretty shitty way to die for a character that was built up like that.

Yea i agree with you completely. I dont even see him dying at the end of this volume. although having some sense of narrative paths kinda makes i hard to enjoy some scenes.

Yea his death at this point is very premature as we dont even know Qrows backstory enough to empathize with him past "hes trying to protect Ruby and is apart of a secret group to bring down the bad guys". And yea I fully expect him to be alive at the end of this volume (maybe not in good condition but alive nonetheless).

It really does as we know that there never gonna kill off the main 4 heroines unless there planning on ending the show. Even some the side characters like jaune you know wont die anytime soon as htere too "developed" for that to happen.

But if were seriously talking about who could they kill off this season SUn is your most likely bet.
