I assure you, our top people found nothing. Neither Norton nor Macaffee found anything on the system, and we must assume the previous perpatrator was interrupted before their task could be finished.

i hated that little shit mercury last volume but I love him now

what the fuck happened?

both emerald and cinder are still shit though. hot, but shit

Merc is amazing, goddamn MVP of both his fights

So is anyone else suddenly disinterested with the plot?

I was sorta getting into the Illuminati thing, but now that we know they're just magical girl bodyguards it's lost me.

Fucking everyone is a magical girl already anyway, it seems totally pointless.

CREMN is objectively the best group

Cinder's plan is to lure the Grimm to beacon so they'll go on a rampage and preoccupy everybody, leaving Amber defenselss.

>"My Client's state of mind was clearly tampered with! Not only that but if we look at the Footage from Mercury and Emeralds fight Against Coco Adel we can see her referring to her partner when he's clearly not there. The Defendant claims the victim attacked her first but we can see that's not the case. So people of the Jury whats the one Element known to cause Hallucinations?.... MERCURY, and is it not true that Mercury himself was in both Physical contact with Coco and the Defendant? Therefore the only conclusion is that his boots are laced with Mercury causing hallucinations to his opponents!

Case closed, throw Mercury and his teammates in the dungeon with Roman while the crowd is even more angry at them, which is ABSOLUTELY NOT PART OF THEIR PLAN!

MERC DINDU NUFFIN, HE WAS A GOOD BOY, WENT TO BEACON

Yeah, I kind of get what you mean. I'm still interested, but this is all kind of far-fetched. I'd like the idea that they were like gods or something who pass their aura through reincarnation and have some extremely OP semblance but as they've explained it so far it's kind of meh.

I just hope the fact that they chose Pyrrha doesn't mean the main cast gets pushed aside but they probably will

>>78131394

>>78131340
Cinder's going to steal the power, and then get fucking rekt by Blake or Yang who then takes the power from HER

Pyrrha won't be a maiden at all

I have no idea what emotion this is meant to convey, but by god it's going in my reaction image folder nonetheless.

Who else here thinks that Yang isn't actually going to be punished? I mean, Ozpin is way too smart to fall for something like this, Qrow knows her way too well to think that she'd do such a thing, Coco knows that the bad guys have someone with an illusory semblance, and it looks like the people in the front row didn't fall for the illusion. But this might also all be according to Cinder's plan: If Yang doesn't get punished, the crowd will get even more pissed off and draw more Grimm to Beacon.

Especially the specifics. It's one shitty god to have set up these bullshit rules for passing on infinite power.

And on that, we're way too early in for all this power creep. Dust, Aura and Semblances were MORE than enough, and now we've got straight-up magic?

It's not like any characters are even in danger with the threats as they are now anyway.

This may seem like a dumb question but ctrl+f "sponsor" had no results in this thread

>>78131475
yeah, while I wouldn't be surprised if yang did get punished she doesn't seem like the type to just attack someone out of the blue and her teachers and classmates would know it.

>>78131553
The bad guys have somebody with an illusion semblance, they framed Yang for attacking a defenseless Mercury. Why they did this is still up in the air, but I think they want to piss everyone off so the Grimm can swarm Beacon and they can kill Amber/Autumn in the confusion.

There was some kind of glitch that caused that, but the secret club site replaced the video, so it should work. Look at the OP, but if you just want that bit of dialogue:

>Glynda: As we understand it now, when a maiden dies, the one who is in her final thoughts is the first candidate to inherit her power.

Mercury gets his knee blown to hamburger? KEIKAKU.

Emerald accidentally drops her toothbrush in the toilet? KEIKAKU.

Cinder slams her shin into a coffee table? The last thing anyone hears from her before she passes out from pain is a weak "all according to plan."

Her intention is freaking people out so that the grimms swarm the place

When the inevitable grimm invasion happens, she's probably going to waltz into Ozpin's basement

She's an awful villain desu, don't get me wrong. There's a limit to all according to keikaku and we're way past that limit. Even Roman was a better villain despite being basically a crook only in the business for the money

>>78131973

It plants a thought that people aren't as safe as the bigwigs say they are, or that Hunters aren't as effective as they're supposed to be. Unease eventually leads to panic, which eventually leads to an uncooperative populace that's easier to deal with. It also attracts -more- Grimm, as we saw where those big elephants turned their attention toward the festival after thousands of people saw a girl blow out a defenseless dude's knee unprovoked.

It's a lot of people.

I know people say arrested a lot but more than likely she is just going to be barred from the competition rather than put in jail, they are literally fighting each other with scythes, swords, automatic weapons and explosives and just because one little leg got broken means she'll get arrested? The only thing that will happen is that she will get expelled and be in a position not to help when all the shit goes down.

>>78132110

I'm betting it was either Emerald or Mercury who pulled the illusion shit on Yang, not Neo. There was that whole shield thing. But yeah. Pretty much.

>>78132075
That's the kinda shit that gets you kicked out of being a Hunter. The whole world knows she's a crazy person who attacks defenseless people for no reason with deadly weapons.

>>78132150
>The only thing that will happen is that she will get expelled

Did nothing wrong

I think Yang vs Merc might be my favorite fight after Roman vs Blake

>>78132182

I actually thought about this. I'm assuming the protection barrier thing they have would stop people from interfering with fights. I still think this is complete bullshit though:

>Mercury puts Yang under hallucination or whatever
>Fight ends
>Barrier stopping Neo from interfering is taken down
>Yang, now under bullshit, attacks Mercury
>Neo makes it look like she hit him and broke his leg

His cries of agony sounded so fake for a guy who just got his leg smashed

>>78132203
So the people running this thing are idiots. They are literally giving them loaded weapons and explosives and saying, " Now don't hurt each other with these".

And it's competition rules, not kingdom law. Violating them would get you barred from that, not imprisoned. And as was already pointed by someone, no one would have blinked an eye if this was a hockey game, and no one gets jailed over that shit.

Fair enough, although I still think putting an entire stadium + cameras under "illusion" is too OP

>>78132405
Yea, it did. That's why they ended the fight.

>>78131165
I've just started watching the Yang vs Mercury fight.

I'm going to assume that everything that Mercury did was to facilitate the finale of it all.

From a distance of an arms length, Yang reared her right hand back, screamed, and threw a haymaker.

From a distance where the two hands are touching, against a southpaw, the fact that she thought that was a good idea is terrifying, especially as she threw it the way she throws everything, with the left hand flailing away from the body in a uncorked position. In this case it was pointing diagonally at the ground behind her.

The self control Mercury must have, to not hit the body, legs or head of Yang while she did that with his lead or back leg is astounding.

The fights still have the issue of everything being done on a straight line. Mercury's reentry into the fight was stupidly telegraphed. Instead of moving to the side, checking it or meeting him with something higher she leapt over it at a distance where the kicker would have an advantage.

There was that odd sequence where they kind of handfought. I don't really understand why they did that though. If Yang was trying to back hand she did a piss poor job of it considering that her hand met his at the elbow. There was also the issue that she tried twice to punch across her body, at a figure standing off her line, with what looked like a straight and a hook.

After the small fight at a distance where Mercury came in with a jumping flipping axe kick, she blocked high, threw his leg up high, then followed it up, with a overcommited lead left low kick and right straight, with her left hand low again. He attacked her through the middle but still she was just wide open on the left side.

The combination work after the close the distance again was just shoddy as all hell with the hand not being used to attack falling way by her hips and when it progressed to kicking, she just made a fool of herself.

>>78132420
She didn't. She put Yang under an illusion. She saw Merc attack her. Everyone else saw him walk over and congratulate her.

This cliffhanger really grinds my gears.
I just... I HATE stuff like that.
Such "oh, let's make the good guys appear bad" stuff.

>>78132420
The stadium wasn't under an illusion, Yang was.

>>78132354
But the fact that the match was over doesn't change. Anything is on the table during the fight, but once the fight's over it's over.

>>78132405
They end it when it reaches a certain point, and Yang hit him hard enough to go from still eligible to 0 in a single attack

>>78132420
She doesn't need to put the entire stadium and the cameras under illusion. She only needed to do that to Yang.

>>78132402
>Just a box of crackers with a printout of Mercury's face on it
>Keeps him just as loyal as Emerald's desperate, unrequited love

>>78132376
Because Aura fixes almost everything? I understand why they'd probably be there but you can't assume they are for an argument. Hard evidence only, not speculation, even if it's based on a logical conclusion.

>>78132425
If they did then he wouldn't be hobbling around like Old Man Potter for a month now would he?

People getting hurt during the fights is a completely different issue. No one was bothered when Weiss got burnt, and that could've been way worse than a broken leg if her aura had been low enough.

The were bothered because Yang did it *after* the fight to a defenseless and beaten opponent. If Merc had started stomping on Coco's head after she was knocked out they would have arrested him too.

Good ep today. Plot, decent action, reactions and a nice cliffhanger. Can't help but imagine Yang assaulting Merc with a folding chair now, though. Wish this wouldn't get cleared up too quickly, but I can see it happening. Also hope Merc and Em were in the dark about this part of the plan and/or Neo handling matters her own sadistic way.

Also, this took longer than I was planning it to.

>>78132433
After a breakdancing performance by Mercury there is this weird goddamn moment where Yang holds her hand out and Mercury kicks it.The angle doesn't make any goddamn sense and it looks like Mercury just did it for shits and giggles.

The reoccuring issue that RWBY has of distance rears its head again. During several of the spinning kicks the fact that they wouldn't actually land is pretty blantant. Also Yang's guard is basically her holding her hands out in front of her like a cat.

The entire sequence kind of looked janky compared to the rest of it, similar to the Arslan fight. It was significantly slower than the rest to allow for all the spinning.

The kick that let Yang counter looked odd like a soccer kick to the head. The shoryuken to elbow sequence looked neat as hell and almost Monty like.

The sequence where Mercury came back from the ring out was a mixed bag. The points where she was blocking kicks with an outstretched hand just looked stupid as hell.

The sequence where Mercury beat the unholy shit out of Yang was exactly what I expected the fight to consist of and that final fucking sequence where she somehow managed to win the entire fight by doing the exact same thing she had been doing the entire fight but with her just being angrier was just bullshit. Like goddamn.

The leg cracking noise when she punched him in the knee was amazing.

I'd give it a 7.9/10.

You mean interrogating. And it won't happen, firstly because there's no doubt she actually hurt him, and secondly because she won't go to jail for it anyways, no more than people who fight in sports games go to jail.

As far as anyone could see, Yang stood around for a bit, no sudden moves at all, then suddenly attacked Merc out of nowhere while he was vulnerable. She was acting, not reacting.

>The only note on Glynda's concept art is "TIGHT KNEE LENGTH"

Perfect.

Oh, Hey Canvas, I wanted to thank you for the Neo smut comic you did.

It makes me happy that someone liked my work enough to do art of it.

RWBY court episode when?!
>The defenses semblance is being able to see when people are lying and how much effort it would take to break them
>the prosecutor doesn't use their semblance in court, just logic
It'd be a great chance for some shenanigans and an insight into Vale's legal system.

The comedic value of the final moments with Mercury was what largely made up the .9.

Monty's touch would have been most wanted on the Neon Yang fight.

He would have actually made it reviewable instead of the incomprehensible mess of tight in camera angles we got.

Now do this with Emerald and Merc holding his leg

Hey lets do some japanese dub predictions.
Takehito Koyasu as Mercury.
Hiroshi Kamiya as Jean.

It's a sport. This shit literally happens all the time, and people almost never go to jail over it or have any other lasting effects. Yes, she looks guilty, and technically is, but the consequences for such a thing aren't going to go to some big court case. Worst that will ever happen is she can never go into this tournament again.

>>78133293
>Most guilty plead innocent
You missed my point. She's regretful and confused, she's not even sure what to plead.
>Security of the tournament is offcially in Ironwood's hands, not Ozpin's
Security of the tournament who will determine her future career and huntess viability. That's not Ironwood's jurisdiction unless she's his student. Worst he can do it bar her from the tournament unless she tries to violently attack the crowd terrorist-style or kill someone.
>As far as anyone could see, Yang stood around for a bit, no sudden moves at all, then suddenly attacked Merc out of nowhere while he was vulnerable. She was acting, not reacting.
It still wasn't premeditated. Crime of passion is a term, you know.

Why does everyone think that she will be going to court?
Gylnda: "Why did you do it?"
Yang: "They tricked me!"
Glynda: "You tricked her?"
Merc: "No I didn't!"
Ozpin: "Yes you did."
Merc: "Yes I did."
DONE!

I mean Jaune.
As for the actor he did Ararararagi in Bakemonogatari.

>>78133508
If Jon Jones can get away with hitting a car with a pregnant woman in it, while in the possession of a shitload of cocaine, Yang will get a pass.

It'll happen eventually, Yang or not.

>>78133508
And none of that matters because this is fiction, so I'm fully expecting the death penalty for attacking another human unprovoked and causing that much negative emotion.

No, it isn't. It's supposed to show the kingdoms getting along and give peace of mind to their citizens by having their guardians demonstrate their prowess.

When was the last time an athlete shot a fellow athlete after a game/match was over?
The closest I can even think of was that one Chief's player who killed himself in the parking lot during the off season or their bye week or some shit a couple years ago.

But Jaune's Jap VA is already Hiro Shimono.
Jaune's in Vol 1, which is already out.
