In any case, you don't get anymore dead than being stripped of everything right to the bone (short of being turned to dust like Ulquiorra). Face it: Robert is not coming back. If his ability really was "The Necromancy" or whatever, then why was he freaking out about being a sacrifice for Auswählen? Even if it were his ability, he's lost his power, and lost his Vollständig; in which, he still got owned by Byakuya.

He's had a good crack of the whip, so he really no longer serves any purpose to the plot at all. Maybe we'll see him in another flashback, maybe we won't.
