Pop quiz, first answer that comes to your mind only:
How many times has Joss killed Buffy?
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.
Buffy ,'Lessons'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Exactly what I thought. What I had no idea about was that there was contention she died when she was shot by Warren and was then revived. Which I think is a bunch of non-Occamy bullshit.
But he did kill her in the Wishverse too. So while I say Buffy died twice, Joss killed Buffy three times also seems accurate.
Follow my intricate semantic steps without getting dizzy.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I go with three times, myself (with The Wish).

I knew there was technically one other death. The Wish definitely counts. I also though about Nightmares, but I don't think the dreams ever became real reality.
Warren's shooting of Buffy definitely doesn't count.
Edited for an attempt at clarity.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeah, Warren didn't kill her. It was a close thing, but she didn't die then.

Did she die before time got rewound that time Angel became human?

It's all kind of a blur. Somehow my brain came up with "3" right away but wouldn't show its work.
