What Pyrrha‘s “Destiny“ Talk COULD Mean.

A lot of people are focusing on what happens after Jaune enters the scene neglecting the former scene before he enters. Lets examine that scene first, shall we?

A leaf falls in front of Pyrrha reminding her of Amber in a commatized state, and she seems very afraid thinking about it. At first, I thought she is afraid of becoming like her but that didn’t make much sense to me. She did agree to becoming a maiden after knowing what happened to Amber and she was enthusiastic about it even though she knew the dangers BUT THAT WAS BEFORE she learned about the aura transfer process and her response was “that is…. wrong!!!“ which is the key to understand why she was upset at Jaune’s words.



Now, Let’s talk about the scene between Jaune and Pyrrha.



Pyrrha says:



“what would you do if something came along that you never expected. something that had the potential to stand between you and your destiny“



“or what would you do if you could fulfill your destiny but at the cost of who you were“.

“iv always felt that i was destined to become a huntress…. to protect the world. and it has become increasingly clear to me that my feelings were right… but.. i don’t know if i could do it“

Then Jaune replies to her that she should “if you really believe it’s your destiny to save the world….. you can’t let anything stand in your way”.

So:

Pyrrha is constantly flashbacking or thinking about Amber.

She wants to protect the world but at the cost of losing who she was. Ozpin and co did not mention split personality in any way shape or form as the fandom believes including myself. Getting Amber’s aura is “wrong” as Pyrrha puts it which heavily indicates that amber will die if her aura was taken away from her, but Ozpin and co tell Pyrrha to do it.

Pyrrha says that she always knew her “destiny” is to protect the world but she says that something stands in her way.

Jaune tells Pyrrha to fulfill her destiny not letting “anything” stand in her way which results in her gasping in shock and crying because of that response.



See, Pyrrha isn’t afraid of having a split personality losing her identity in the process. She is afraid of killing Amber which is most likely the result of getting her aura and that goes against her principles.



She talks about herself being destined to “protect the world” but at the cost of who she was while thinking about Amber prior to this conversation in her weakest of moments in a coma.

She talks about something standing in her way to “protect the world” and that something is her morals where she doesn’t want to kill Amber.



Unknowingly, the person she values the most ,Jaune, tells her to fulfill her “destiny” not letting “anything (her morals) stand in your way” which is Jaune’s last line before Pyrrha cries because he too is telling her to kill Amber.



That is why she cries telling him to “stop“ after gasping in horror at his response. From Pyrrha’s perspective, Jaune is yet another person like Ozpin and co who wants her to abandon her morals in order to fulfill her “destiny“ losing who she was in the process and become a “murderer“.

And what does Pyrrha say in the FIRST EPISODE OF SEASON 3 AND IN THE TRAILER FOR THAT SEASON?.



"We should be looking forwards to a fight with actual guidelines and not…. well, murderers”.
