That would probably happen later in the series unless somehow Adam is in the dessert and want to fight Blake there
>>
>>88806948
>>
>>88806960
No. We still don't know the full extent of Ozpin's plans.

When the show started we joked about him being some sort of shipmaster, playing everything so that the ships happen in a way that he desires. Recent revelations are making this line of thinking oddly dark yet believable.
>>
>>88806960
Monochrome is

>>88806948
I never understood why Jaune is always blushing or being shy he would be happy as shit and go everywhere declaring he got him self a girlfriend
>>
>>88806569
Yeah, she knew fairy tales. There was already previous discussion that that was a reference to the Brothers Grimm. No one just expected literally every fairy tale they have to actually be true.

Actually, I don't think anyone wanted RWBY to go the usual light and dark gods.
>>
So do you think we will get any of the following in the next 4 episodes.

1. Ruby Development
2. Nora Backstory
3. Ren Semblance
4.Jaune Semblance
5. Yang back on the Wagon
6. Blake & Sun heart to heart talk
7. Blake Mellowing Out
8. Sun learning to read people.
9. Raven Shenanigans with Qrow
10. Oscar meeting RNJR

It would require a lot of work, mostly on Pyrrha's end. She lost a lot of points with Jaune with the whole, not being open to him about secrets when he was open about secrets with her. The going to die thing.

>>88807031
Who ever could this dashing devil be?
>>
>>88806748
No it's actually totally fine. They don't live in it because the faunus women fucking break your shit and beat them at any time over fucking nothing. They just can't sustain civilization in the face of such uncontrolled damage. So instead they live by the sea and live largely with wood so nothing of value is lost when the miss hurls a cheap coffee table though the door cause her eggs weren't perfect. They've accepted living there and that maybe it's best that animals such as them stay away from humanity due to the faunus' innate and uncontrollable Animalistic need to destroy everything.
>>
>>88807205
Some OC, obviously. Also, holy shit, they brought back (you)s?
>>
>>88807178
Yeah, Jaune seems to blame Qrow and Ozpin, but I wouldn't be surprised if he blamed Pyrrha to some extent, too.

I wouldnt call what she had a choice. Plus Ozpin was an idiot, why not have Qrow and Glynda guard Amber? They would be able to talk a half maiden easy but no send them out to deal with scrub tier Grimm.
>>
>>88807302
>>88807251
>>88807346

Pyrrha chose what she believed in: destiny. It was no one but her own fault that she died. Even if she had not been chosen as the maiden, she would have still gone up to the tower and fight Cinder because she saw it as her duty as a huntress.

Pain
Is your reward for being near me

Fate
Would be afraid when I'm around

Fade
Before the tragedy that follows

Flee
The situations I surround

I'm a hole in light
I cannot lie
I will change the karma of your life
I don't mean to bring you pain
But I will, just wait, I can't explain.

I am no one's blessing
I'll just bring you harm

I'm a cursed black cat
I'm an albatross
I'm a mirror broken

Save yourself
I'm your bad luck charm

I was partial to the idea that silver eyes genes affect her brain in some way making her simple minded and giving her an innate desire to kill Grimm and help people and little else to make her the perfect warrior that doesn't sweat the small stuff because it might cause her to stop the heroics.
>>
>>88807436
I dont see how that would possibly happen. She would have never seen Cinder if it wasnt for being chosen as the next maiden.
>>
>>88807436

If she wasn't selected to be the maiden she probably wouldn't have been such an emotional wreck that wanted to bet it all on fighting Cinder in the first place.

Well it's not really thought about much but she's a backwater redneck. Being around Qrow is suffering. People around her didn't want to bring her up to speed with the war because knowing always has a way of sucking you in. She's been pretty sheltered so she's never really considered the consequences of powerlevels autism being a problem for her because apparently up until a year ago she thought hunters were all roses and sunshine or something to that effect. She's got a lot of lasting trauma from people treating her like a kid in the fallout of summer's death. She's clearly never had a major powerless and consequences event that affected her. She also was 15, now 16 which doesn't mean a lot when you're treated like a kid and therefore haven't hardened up nor reigned her energy in.

In this episode Blake said "I'm not here to fight the White Fang. I'm not here to fight anyone."

In episode 5 she said "Who said I'm done fighting?" to the Albain brothers.

So is Blake having trouble making up her mind?
>>
>>88807780
Cats are territorial.
>>
>>88807780
She's fronting like the bitch nigga she is. It's also referring to how while she's not fighting the white fang's way she hasn't turned her back on faunus rights.
>>
>>88807780
It's almost like they don't know what to do with her character. Or they're doing a poor job of showing that she's conflicted with her...Past? Motivation?
>>
>>88807827
I'm convinced the problem is from that Monty, M&K know Blake from a whole plot and all the little motivations perspective. But because RT wont show some real nitty gritty racism it completely takes the piss out of all the faunus arguments making them at best exactly what they're rallying to stop.
>>
>Black Sun happens
>twist: it's an extremely toxic relationship in which Blake acts emotionally and physically abusive towards the cinnamon roll that is Sun, who can't understand what he's doing wrong and why she keeps hurting him

I wouldn't. You don't see a lot of abusive relationships in fiction where the girl is the abusive one and it's obviously meant to be abusive. As long as Sun gets out of the relationship and Blake gets her shit together, I wouldn't mind.

I'd prefer if it never got to that point, however.

Will Adam kill Khan and take control of the white fang? I could see it happening if Khan went full house faunus.

>>88807923
Yes.

Need to wait and see how Sienna Khan is like. If she does represent the better, more good White Fang who still believes in equality, then she's fucked. Adam's side is likely growing in influence and and numbers.
>>
>>88807860
I'd probably be even more invested in this show, even if only out of dark fascination. Like sure, it's only natural for protagonists to have flaws but to portray a "good guy" as so blatantly bad would be interesting

>Blake slaps the shit out of Sun and throws stuff at him as hard as she can because he went out without calling or texting her every 2 hours
>Sun's friends don't understand why he's feeling so hurt by this, as his aura easily absorbed the blows
>Sun can't explain adequately that the pain isn't just physical

>Blake doesn't see the problem because that was just Tuesday night back at the White Fang compound
>>
>>88807923
No. Khan will simply use Adam's blind extremism and finally crush Ghira, who is apparently so powerful politically to the faunus and Menagerie that they have to keep up appearances around him.
This way, he'll be able to put forth the extreme philosophies and force Faunus who don't want to be associated with them to work towards the full destruction of their human oppressors
And then Hazel will command them from the shadows and trap them along with humanity for Salem
>>
>>88807923
I'm pretty sure we'll already see that kind of struggle between Khan and Ghira, since they already fit the peaceful leader/aggressive leader conflict. I honestly expect Khan to be more or less on the same side as Adam, maybe they don't quite agree on supporting Salem, but killing humies is killing humies.
>>
>>88807917
I would prefer Blake to have an epiphany, that she's starting to get abusive as Adam, and have a breakdown where Sun comforts her.

Imagine if Blake smacking Sun around gave Adam an epiphany.

Blake did have a moment of geniuness when she was basically telling her father she thinks she's a horrible person and that he should forsake her. But then Sun showed up and ruined that and she got all defensive again.

So, how would you have handled the Amber situation if you were Ozpin?

I would have brought in two or three candidates and their closest team member for support (not the entire teams, that'd be a clusterfuck), given them a "you're about to learn some heavy shit, be sworn to secrecy, and one of you girls might get mindfucked hard" speech, and see how many stay. They're probably the types that will if they're being considered for maiden status. The ones that stay get inducted into the Ozluminati right there, given two hours to process the infodump, and then the rest of the day in the vault (with refreshments) to discuss who gets the pod, and just get it over with. Putting all that pressure on one girl and expecting her to bottle it up was a disaster waiting to happen, and the attack means the secret is already compromised, so I'd take the risk of bringing a few more people in.

Girls can be bigger and stronger than certain guys, too. Furthermore, there are things like drugs, taking advantage of an injured state. Or hell, even rely on knowing that if he laid a hand on her, even in self defense, it'd be her word against his.

And while a grown woman might have trouble raping a 6'3 bodybuilder (and please note that I say she'd have trouble, not that it would be impossible), pretty much any adult woman wouldn't have trouble if her victim were a child.

I wouldn't have waited until after the tournament, which I still can't believe Ozpin was entirely clueless that wasn't the time when the guys he KNEW were around and up to something would do whatever.

I'd have had Pyrrha get in the pod right there, rather than waste time letting her pointlessly angst about it.

And I'd just again like to point out how mind boggling it is that Ozpin, a guy with apparantly ancient intellect, was so taken aback by the Tournament attack.
>>
>>88808201
Jaune was in the wrong yeah but I'd give him a pass as he's a teenager.

I also like how he doesn't immediately trust Qrow or what he says. A lot of what he says is pretty sketchy especially as Qrow had no proof whatsoever in any of that. Sure he's sorta seen Cinder but what she does can't really be said to be too far from what other people in the show could already do.

Maybe, Qrow will show them some magic if they ever get to Haven.

Weiss didn't deserve the slap at all, especially since it didn't teach her anything. She DID deserve to lose have her inheritance though.
>>
>>88808242
Ozpin handled it the best. There were no guarantees with it being certain that one way or another the girl as she was would be consumed Ozpin just got out fukken played is all. In another great case of tell, don't show, we know that the go team avatar! didn't go too hot. Remember, no matter how bad things are, they can always get so, so much worse. There's worse motivators than near-unlimited power if they rated Amber's fighting strength as a newbie.

There was zero reason that amber didn't have 3 guards to just be a "team"

>>88808201
It's like you can hear the tone of ten thousand lancasterfics change in a moment. Ruby was a girl, but now Rubes is a man.

>>88808264
Is that's "abuse" then Weiss needed a hell of a lot more to straighten her out. Weiss' failures are a direct manifestation of the failure of her parents. The same with Blake too.

>>88808291
He stayed at a distance at least. It was a well done ambush all told.
>>
>>88808201

I'm glad Jaune of all people is actually not ok with the Ozluminati stuff.

Way too many people including Qrow are willing to worship the ground Ozpin walked on even though he ended up being a massive fuck up.

>>
>>88808440
A part of me thinks that Ozpin himself would appreciate that. The way he talked to Oscar made me think that Ozpin himself didn't get a choice in having a creepy voice in his head merging with his soul and suddenly finding himself in a position of power regardless of whether or not he'd be the best person for it.

Maybe that's why he gave Pyrrha a choice.

>>88808483

Pyrrha never had a choice. It was either take the power or let the bad guys have it.

They acted like they gave her a choice, but when there's only one option that doesn't fuck everyone over it's not a choice.

And they all have to known based on knowing anything about her that she'd pick that.

If Qrow seriously is trying to write off what the did to Pyrrha with "But we totally gave her a choice guys" he's lying to himself.
>>
>>88808483
I feel bad for the kid. Can you imagine remembering another dudes life like it was your own. Like, you'd never had a kiwi and one morning you'll drift off reminiscing about how you really loved those kiwi's kali sent. Just the feeling of inevitable doom washing over you as you realize you're fading away and nothing can stop it.

>>88808531
One life for countless is worth it. It sucks but that's reality. Plus nobody forced her to go protect Ozpin's coffee beans. The powers were already gone. It's not like cinder was leaving the place. There was no reason to go up let alone right then and there.
>>
>>88808454
Yeah, he really shouldn't,

Jaune, circumstances withstanding, was pretty smart this episode. I mean he was pretty angry about Pyrrha but that seemed more at the whole system. Besides that, he went straight to the point and asked what the fuck is this all about, if it were true what could they do about it, and then he even called out Qrow's use of Ruby as bait. He also pointed out how Qrow wouldn't really be of any use thanks to his semblance but that was more spite.

Compare this to Ruby who mainly cared about why wasn't her uncle didn't tag along her adventure and didn't trust her to tell her everything.

People said Jaune stole Ruby's concern in asking questions but I think RT showed their characters better quite well.

I like how Weiss was actually surprised that she is no longer the one to be in charge of the company.

Especially since that was after she already announced her own intention to leave

It was her own choice to die but at that point I don't think she had any choice in becoming the maiden.

>>88808613
but anon, every bruise, every insult, every piece of blackmail is just a testament to how much Blake loves him. at least, that's how Adam taught her how to show love

>>
>>88808610
>Besides that, he went straight to the point and asked what the fuck is this all about, if it were true what could they do about it, and then he even called out Qrow's use of Ruby as bait.

Honestly, I think that's more his cynicism talking than fact. Ruby is Qrow's family, S+Q=R or not. He trained her personally and is shown to be quite close to her. I don't think he'd be cold enough to let her be bait. Especially when he seems to dislike the Maiden system enough to mouth off about it in Ozpin's presence.

Guess we'll go choose another" The truth of the matter is that Pyrrha was prepared to put her own life on the line for the sake of others, just like most people at a huntsmen academy would be. It was a scary and daunting process, but it's what she's here for

>RWBY and company all meet up in a field for the first time in years.

>In the heat of the moment Blake and Sun kiss
>Black Sun happens
The sky goes black as the sun becomes eclipsed and the landscape warps into a nightmarish hell scape. Everyone stands in awe of the twisted faces that make up their surroundings. From the black sun comes a horrific entity, vaguely human with what appears to be an exposed cerebrum. Four more follow in it's wake. A pillar erects as a hand takes shape, separating Blake and Sun from the others.
On the ground below, the familiar faces we've grown to accustomed are being torn asunder, others wander in a stupor, convinced that they're merely having a nightmare.
Yang Charges toward the pillar calling for Blake but is pinned to the ground by a creature, neither Grimm nor animal. What closely resembles a claw begins to penetrate Yang's right eye as a brand burns itself inter her flesh on the back of her neck.
A figure begins to fall to the ground.
It's Sun. Or what appears to be a twisted bastardization of Sun. It's humanity stripped away for a stronger, more agile form.
A creature resembling an Imp glides to Sun, Blake lying motionless in it's grasp.
Sun takes Blake, now bare in his arms, and looks at a Bloodied Yang unable to escape the beast's hold.
Close up on Sun's gaze as Blake makes pleasured moans.
Yang Calls out Sun's name as he continues. She breaks the monsters hold as she charges toward Sun, Ember Celica cocked and ready to fire as an Unfazed Sun holds her in the air with his newly acquired semblance.
A flash of light as Raven appears and takes a failed swing of her blade at one of the Demons at the top of the pillar. She opens a portal to Yang's side and take her daughter under her arm. Sun drops Blake as he begins to retaliate, but this only allows Raven to retrieve the faunus and make her escape.

And when Qrow did leap in it was in a moment where he would look the most cool.
>>
>>88808727
That was back then and this was now.

His attempt in saving their lives led to him getting injured and they barely fought off Tyrion as Ruby got a lucky break.

Then he's going to tell them he's also a bad luck charm.

There's also that Jaune thinks Qrow used Ruby as bait and sorta was the reason Pyrrha died.

I think it was still fueled by spite but Qrow isn't exactly a hero in Jaune's eyes. And him being injured doesn't help much either.

>>88808811
To be fair, it does seem that Qrow got blindsided by Tyrian's appearance. He was definitely panicking in his rush.

>>88808845
I kinda wonder what the range is of his bad luck is. I don't think it's too big considering he was fine where JNR were standing, but I dunno.

Except he could have warned them high level assassins would come after them, and told them he was there, and told them he has a bad luck field.

He should have told Ruby about this years ago when he started mentoring her.

>>88808726
Weiss wanting to be a huntress was never the issue. If it was, going to Beacon never would have been an option. Jacques wouldn't have even done the knight test, he would have shut the dream down hard and sent her to learn economics like a good girl. The issue was her constant defiance of him and Atlesian high society.

Yeah, she couldn't literally run the company and hunt at the same time, but there's no reason she couldn't build the necessary skills and be ready by the time she's done hunting. Barring patricide, Jacques probably isn't keeling over anytime soon and she never knew Cortana was about to wreck the world. She had plenty of time, and Jacques clearly wasn't 100% opposed to the idea.

Even more, the Ozlumminati deserve and SHOULD know about this sort of thing happening as it could very well lead to their plans being fucked up. If he couldn't tell his family, how the fuck am I to believe he told people like Ironwood or Glynda.

They just have the most obvious flaws.

Of the adults, the only one with an obvious flaw is Ironwood, with is inability to step out of the military mindset. (Like seeing how the Dust embargo will only make people hate Atlas more, even if it keeps the kingdom safe from attack)

>>88809090
How does one grow past the issue of warping reality around you so anyone you interact with can suddenly have something horrible happen to them at a moment's notice?

I wouldn't call them teenage issues but he should really grow up. He wears a cape for god's sake.

I guess all Branwens are like that. At least Raven doesn't try to make excuses.

Salem hadn't made a move in years. If they'd thwarted Cinder they could have finished their schooling and become pro hunters like they all wanted all intact and alive and been fully prepared for her next attack if it ever happened in their lifetimes.

Instead they'll never get to go through school like normal, Pyrrha's dead and Yang's maimed and all of them will have mental scars.

Thanks Ozpin.

Age doesn't define maturity.

I'm starting to wonder if that character is Taiyang...
>>

I don't know about having his shit together, he's just playing the cynic. Ruby can't do that and I guess they Ren and Nora aren't allowed to question things since they're just secondary characters.

I don't think it's right to treat Sun so horribly though, especially when he actually cares about her for some reason. What if Adam was in an abusive relationship with Blake too and he just has very poor coping mechanisms or is just straight up to autistic. Adam might be the way he is because of Blake, think about it.
>>
>>88809240
It feels like Ren and Nora don't belong in the show anymore. They're just there, but they don't really do much. They should just take the same place as SSSN and go away.
>>
>>88809155

Ironwood was the only one with sense, showing up expecting trouble and a major battle, while Ozpin just wanted to chillax and was blind to the whole thing.

Sure enough there was a massive fucking attack at the most obvious of times and Ozpin was completely worthless in doing anything about it.
>>
>>88809252
Yeah, since he does have that overprotective dad vibe. Qrow telling Ruby stuff probably does him no favors in Taiyang's eyes. But it's not difficult for me to imagine him snapping at Qrow when he was at his lowest after Summer's death.
>>
>>88809212
Alright.

What systems did Ozpin have the power to put in place that Cinder wouldn't have been able to subvert or work around, that would have thwarted the scheme? Remembering that human agents of Salem were not an expected factor until Qrow relayed the message that "Queen has pawns".
>>
>>88809155
>That exaggerated headcanon
Again refer to>>88808902 this. He's just blaming himself that it's his semblance. We don't know how bad it is.

If it was that bad there would be no reason he'd ever be allowed near the Ozluminati. Yet Ozpin trusts him to do shit like guard Amber which he fucks up as well.

Okay so let's say his semblance caused the shit to fall on Ruby. Was that his fault? Of course not. Ruby really shouldn't have been there.

Bad stuff happens in real life. Fine. People have the shittiest luck in real life too. There are actual unlucky people. But does that mean they should only run away and keep away just so "no one gets hurt". No that's just an excuse.

Everything bad couldn't have been his fault but he chooses to believe it is which is just an easier cop-out than confronting it.
>>
>>88809281
They've always been extras honestly. With Nora getting more fighting time because of her hammer. I'd hope they'd try and rectify this sometime, but I kinda doubt it.
>>
>>88809177

Qrow really didn't either. He just parrots the same Ozpin excuses and nobody really took his side.

Even Ruby who was the only one to agree with him because she's totally fine with putting herself out for the common folk was still a little disapointed in him for keeping her out of it.

>>
>>88809297
I wouldnt be surprised if people his whole life blamed certain things on Qrow and his semblance

to blame himself on any misfortune that happens around you, that could be something that he grew up with, and he grew up with ruthless tribe people, so I doubt they were the most kind to the kid with the semblance that brings bad luck to those around him.

doubt MK would think that hard into something like that though.
>>
>>88809322
He just did this volume.

Bad things in that context is different from what ge was talking about last episode
>>
>>88809335
Part of the problem is that yet again they seem to have their own thing going on, rather than actually participating in the overarching plot.
>>
>>88809283
At the same time, however, Ironwood's army DID make the people nervous, and his robots ended up getting hijacked.

Both Ozpin and Ironwood had a point, but there was pretty much no way it could have ended completely in their favor.

"Can't stall the unstallable", indeed.
>>
So what is the name of the Tai/Yang ship?
>>
>>88809322
You mean him acknowledging that bad things can happen which is what happens when he's around?

Sounds pretty self depreciating to me.
>>
>>88809349
Ozpin however could not have forseen that Ironwood's robots would have been hijacked.

The entirety of the aruguement against Ironwood's soldiers in the city was only justified because of something entirely out of left field and unexpected happened.

True, but he was right about the army making people nervous.
>>
>>88809342
How? I doubt he'd go around telling people it's his semblance when he can't even tell his fucking neice/possible daughter.

I doubt the Ozluminati even know about it exception to Ozpin.

And I highly doubt Raven's the gossipy type.
>>
>>88809324
>my daughter and this guy I don't like are mating right in front of but at least she doesn't look like a slut
>>
>>88809342
Well, they did name him after his power. Hard to let him forget it, even if they weren't actively antagonistic about it.

Makes me wonder if that's why his name is misspelled compared to the actual word crow. Like in an attempt to dilute the effect by not mentioning Crows by name. Like how there's a bunch of different euphemisms for bear. Because people were scared of bears.
>>
>>88809375
And Ruby and Jaune are basically the only family they have left.
>>
>>88809329
Three people can hold a secret if two of them are dead anon.

Guards on the Maiden are just asking for a leak. The only reason she was able to find the vault was because she saw Ozpin leading Pyrrha to it, else she would have found it when she first went to the tower to plant the virus. Oh, right, and the tower was guarded normally, just for different reasons than the maiden... not that the guards helped.
>>
>>88809126
Jaune is likely going to grow up to be more happier and loved than Qrow.

He still has a shitload of issues.
>>
>>88809382
The possibility that he doesnt tell anyone about his semblance because of the past shit where people blame him and his semblance for misfortune.

Raven doesnt seem like the kind who would be silent about something that would ruin an attack on a village, like a bad luck semblance that could go against anyone, not just enemies.
>>
>>88809375
>Implying Jaune and Ruby wouldn't have actually made the whole trip undetected due to overdoing it on costumes and fake identies.

I think the whole bad luck semblance is a bit stupid, I'm worried it's gonna be an excuse for some anti-climatic 'trips and head hits rock and dies' death.
>>
>>88809371

Fuck that guy. All who side with Salem are traitors to their own kind that deserve death. Him getting maimed was the first active mark of much needed justice delivered.

I can't wait til he gets his head cut off next time.

>>88809382
I do doubt all of the ozluminati knew about his semblance through.
>>
>>88809348
>>88809335

Ren and Nora have never felt to be part of team JNPR. It was more like team JP + Ren and Nora. They barely interacted with Pyrrha. Nora and Ren only said a few words to her, but I don't think she ever said anything directly to them.

I was hyped for volume 4 because I thought Ren and Nora would finally start to get some focus, because that was impossible while Pyrrha was alive.They haven't said or done anything to show that they miss Pyrrha. Only Jaune does that. Except for Ren talking about his past, they haven't said or done anything special this volume 4. They just follow Ruby to help her with her mission.

It feels like Ren and Nora are another two characters where RT just don't know what to do with.
>>
>>88809394

That too. They literally have nowhere else to go.
>>
>>88809393
You're working under the assumption that when Qrow was younger his tribe people just randomly told him that they named him after that cause he was unlucky when he was a fetus.

He or even Raven could have made that up later on in life when they realized how unlucky he was.

I could see Raven doing it as a kid in a joking manner (or even super serious) to mess with him.

Or they did just that because he can turn into a crow.

Ren is clearly going somewhere which I'm kinda excited for especially with how he spoke about the dying hunter.

Nora's problem is that she's pretty much just there for fanservice. She provides nice quirky comic relief as well as a safe shipping option. The show refuses to take her seriously as that goes against what she contributes to it.

The true problem with Ren and Nora is that people are doing the exact same thing they've been complaining about: They've been lumping Ren and Nora together. RT seems to know where Ren is going but people want Nora to be a part of that.

Bear itself was a euphemism. Technically we don't know the real name, it died out because people didn't use or record it, and all we can do is try to reconstruct it from similar language groups that weren't spooked enough to purge their version of the word.

Aside from the attack and Pyrrha being in that situation in the first place, Pyrrha was no threat and Cinder went out of her way to execute a defeated and helpless opponent anyway.

Pretty much everything was treated as unforeseeable, but that's just because the good guys have to be idiots to make the plan work; that or the bad guys who be so infallible that the good guys never had a chance at stopping them.

I mean, if you think about it, Jaune deep down probably blames himself for Pyrrha's choice. She was unsure and he basically said "go for it".

His anger towards Qrow and Ozpin and possibly even Pyrrha is just a negative cycle brought out by the fact that Jaune can't stomach the fact that he caused all of this. His little pep talk was the thing that pushed her over the edge.

It terrifies him, but deep down he feels that this entire tragedy just another dismal, pathetic failure of his.

Add that to the fact that Pyrrha meant so much to him and their goodbye was so jarring makes Jaune even more of a mess.

Jaune is suffering.

Well, RWBYg, it's New Year's Eve, and what better way to spend it then posting a summary of some bad fanfiction I'm planning on writing? Takes place between Volumes 2 and 3.

>Meet Dr. Sterling Asimov, former Huntsman and currently working on the PENNY Project for Atlas
>Sterling is disillusioned with the system of Huntsmen and Huntresses now that they are so close to developing artificial warriors with Auras
>His daughter, a student at Beacon Academy, is badly injured on a mission and falls into a coma
>Sterling believes that the mission was too difficult for his daughter, and blames Ozpin for putting her in harm’s way
>Vows to make him pay
>Five years later
>Team RWBY are training in preparation for the 40th Vytal Festival Tournament
>Get news from junior detectives Sun and Neptune that two Beacon student, Cobalt and Lujayn, were attacked and killed last night
>There was evidence of a fight at the scene, but no fingerprints of an assailant were found and the only sign of damage either had was a small injection hole on the neck
>That night, Ruby is attacked on school grounds by an unknown assailant
>She holds her attacker at bay until WBY arrives, at which point the assailant stops, appearing to be in pain
>He reveals himself to be a robot-unusual, since he was shown to have an Aura during his fight with Ruby-and identifies himself as Cobalt
>Seems like he is going to ask for help before fleeing suddenly
>The next morning, RWBY learns that another student, Titania, was found dead under similar circumstances as Cobalt and Lujayn
>Ruby goes to Penny, thinking that she might have some insight into her attacker and what’s going on
>They go through her manuals and creation documentation, and besides Penny’s “father”, come across several references to the work of a Dr. Sterling Asimov
>>
you know for a shitty lore dump, this episode half that bad.

Jaune wouldn't know shit about that, even Ruby wouldn't know about it

>Looking further into him, they find that his daughter just recently passed away while in her coma
>Penny finds a spare tracker like the kind Atlas military use on her, and gives one to Ruby to use
>That night, using Weiss as bait, RWBY succeeds in drawing out another robot attacker; this one is not Cobalt
>After a brief battle, they plant the tracker and allow the robot to flee
>RWBY traces the signal to a secret laboratory, but are quickly confronted by four robots, and a voice speaking through them identifies them as the Beacon students Cobalt, Lujayn, Titania, and a fourth victim, Midas
>Team JNPR arrives, having been called by Ruby, and they fight Team MTLC while RWBY goes on ahead
>It seems Pyrrha would make short work of the metal foes, but Midas is revealed to be able to use his Semblance; touching an opponent causes the touched body part to become heavy and rigid, and Midas immobilizes Pyrrha
>Jaune comes up with a plan to turn this ability against Team MTLC, and they win
>Meanwhile, Team RWBY has made their way through the lab, and they confront (surprise) Dr. Sterling Asimov
>He reveals that his daughter did not truly die, but instead that he extracted her Aura from her himself and has been preserving it
>Sterling was not satisfied with mimicking Penny, believing that she was a pale imitation of life, and wanted his daughter’s real soul
>His goal was to use Beacon students as tests subjects for extracting an Aura and transferring it into a robot, while also keeping the person’s personality intact
>All of MTLC were failures in this regard, even though he considered Midas, who kept his Semblance, his “gold standard”
>Sterling claims time is running out for his daughter’s Aura; it was already very weak when he extracted it, and he will be unable to preserve it for much longer, so he needs to accelerate his plans

Damn character limits.

>In his new robot body, Sterling states that he should be able to maintain his personality and wits long enough to kill Team RWBY
>RWBY is outclassed by Sterling, who beats the four up good
>Ruby uses the power of DETERMINATION though and beats Sterling
>In his last moments, Sterling laments his actions, realizing that he was also taking the sons and daughters away from others
>Says that Ruby reminds him of his daughter; they have a similar look in their eyes
>He gazes at his daughter’s Aura, and they both flicker out at the same time
>Team RWBY and Team JNPR leave to report to Ozpin, bruised but victorious
>THE END
>Ironwood comes to talk to Ozpin in his office
>Ironwood tells Ozpin that they were able to gather all of Sterling Asimov’s data from his lab
>His work on transferring a human’s Aura from one vessel to another was the last piece they needed
>Ozpin wonders how soon they will be able to apply it to their problem, and Ironwood claims within the week
>Cut to a sleeping Amber, and fade to black

>>88809566
Fallen petals/gemstones is pretty good shit too. Just all the character development and plot that's have to happen for it to work.
>>
>>88809898
I think Grimm used to have more proper roles.

Like without Grimm, there would be too much life. That was their original purpose after all but what we're also told goes against that.

It's possible they've been perverted into something that only attacks humans/fauna/etc with souls that feel negative emotion.
>>
>>88809937
Okay. Then why didn't [Insert member of Illuminozi who isn't Ozpin and is therefore human] grab each of the relics and wipe out the Grimm?

>>88809934
I could see it.

>>88809943
Also sounds legit.
>>
>>88809943

Considering how much of RWBY is ripped from SE rpgs I wouldn't be surprised if they were like the Heartless in KH. An important part of the universe that has to be around in some number, but something happened that caused them to go out of control and they're causing more damage than they're naturally supposed to.
>>
>>88809954

The Ozluminati doesn't really seem interested in wiping out the Grimm. Just keep the kingdoms secure and stopping Salem. They seem to want to preserve the current status quo rather than shake things up, even for the better.

In fact not a single person has ever even suggested the idea that the Grimm can be permanently destroyed forever. They seem to just accept that they'll be a foe they'll be fighting forever.
>>
>>88809954
But we do see Salem someone Grimm from portals and shit.

My theory is that someone DID wish away the Grimm. They locked them away into this shadow dimension Salem accesses. Maybe even the moon.

However, someone acessed this/messed with it/set them free and now all that isolation has changed them from what they truly were.
>>
>>88809979
How else would they keep up the charade of having hunter schools as safekeeps for the relics? Their reason for the achools is so that the students themselves would defend it.

>All Grimm are gone
>No more hunters
>No more hunter schools

Well, they could always just dump them in the deepest part of the ocean so no one will ever ever find them. Or wait until they have a way to end them into space.

>>88810010
You know the best way to do it? Throw just one in the ocean and start pretending there were only three.

>>
>>88809943
I think it might be an oversight or something going wrong during humanity's creation.

Like, the god of darkness (come on RT, you couldn't give us a better name than that?) was fond of his creations and didn't want to destroy them, so he made them stop attacking life. But they were still inherently destructive, humanity was a fundamentally different form of life not covered by that command, and the gods weren't there to add them to the whitelist, so they did what grimm were originally supposed to do to the one thing they can still do it to.

>>88810021
Any of them can probably be used as superweapons, just not literally god tier ones.

I really wish that Roman and Neo were more of villains hired by Cinder just to do ground work for the Keikaku.
Not Salem levels of pure evil.
Sometimes helping Ruby, and making her realize that the world is not black and white.
There can be good in all people, even criminals.
During the Grimm storm they try to get away with their loot
Inadvertently save Ruby from a giant Nevermore.

I like how episode 8 really illustrated how much of a tacked-on concept the maidens+wizard were.

Weiss meeting Henry again, being told she sounds very different when she talks

I really love the way they did backgrounds in Season 2. Where the background would have solid colored silhouettes representing structures and stuff. It looks really good at Beacon

>>88811297
I think the Maidens could work if they were established to be early prototypes of what would eventually become Hunters; powerful humans meant to safeguard humanity and the relics simultaneously.
>>
>>88811394
But then you'd have to ask where the wizard came from, and, as far as we know, the actual remnants of the gods are the relics
>>
>>88811405
The wizard is clearly Ozpin, so he's either just a wizard back from the days when magic wasn't a secret (or when magic was wild and free, because you just know that trope is coming)
Or he's clearly Ozpin, and he and Salem were installed as the caretakers of the relics by the gods before they departed. But, years later, Ozpin was so distraught at the suffering of humanity he reached down a helping hand and pulled them up (making his speech to Oscar a call back to the original Ozpin's motivation) and gave them the training and the knowledge to unlock aura's, semblances and how to use Dust so that humanity could protect itself and begin building the Kingdoms
Salem, appalled at this display of arrogance, begins to command the Grimm to re-balance the world, but is thwarted time and time again by Ozpin and his Guardians (either the Maidens, or what would become the Hunters). So she turns to capturing the relics to reset the world back to its "intended" form, while punishing Ozpin along the way
At least, that's how I'd do, fuck if I know what M&K are thinking

Yeah 'Dark vs Light gods' seems to me to be a massive fucking mistake
>>
>>88811552
Never mind. It's in there upon rewatch. I must've missed it. The line about Winter being at the SDC when weiss calls
>>
>>88811552
When Weiss goes to the CCT and phones up the SDC to get information about Dust shipments into Vale, the SDC receptionist says that Winter is available, if Weiss wants to talk to her.
I assume that was a relic of Winter's previous design being the rival heir to Weiss, which now makes sense after they rewrote the character to be Weiss' own version of Qrow
>>
>>88811576
At least they aren't falling face first into the usual "Light is Good, Dark is Evil" dichotomy just yet
That and there are some pretty major flaws in that story that people are picking up on, like how different the Grimm are and such. There's more than enough holes in what Qrow was saying for you to drive a barge full of "Aha, but this is the REAL truth!" through.

Yeah they are leaving alot of leeway for a 'ALL PART OF MY KEIKAKU' to occur. Qrow's story is built on like 2 possibly false narrators (himself and Ozpin) so.

Still, I really hope the 'Life doesn't care about spirit' "morally grey" RWBY doesn't suddenly become a star wars rip off with the light vs dark motif.
>>
>>88811627
If you're not looking forward to Star Wars rip offs, I feel obligated to tell you to fast forward any and all scenes with Oscar now. Boy is on a fast track to finding his farm destroyed and his aunt dead faster than Ruby heading face first into trouble
And I don't see them losing the moral grey any time soon, as you said Ozpin is the nominal leader of our heroic faction, and so far every single thing he's done has been a degree of morally skeevy. Hell even just this volume the way he is with Oscar just feels off, and despite being inside Oscar's head he's still not telling him the whole truth, or the reasons behind it.
>>
>>88811627
Doesn't seem like they will as the gods are already out of the picture, the relics though a little weird still leave room for stuff like a negima moment. Inb4 Emerald yoinks the destruction relic and benny hills off into the distance. I could really go for some gemstone/blood mint clumsy confused hurt and comfort.

>>88811673
Yeah, Oscar basically skipped right along to the "Obi-Wan's ghost gives me guidance" stage, with a brief stop over in Avatar town
Considering how Ozpin talks like all the previous versions were also him, but there area also things Ozpin himself does, I think the two personalities do stay intact through the bonding process.
Which is good, because I really like Shannon McCormick's voice for Ozpin. That and there's some delicious cross series poetry in Agent Washington now being the voice in someone elses head giving them problems
>>
>>88811700
I like Oscar, he's a fantastic vehicle to get the plot with Ozpin explained in a way that isn't the info dumps that Qrow seems contractually obliged to give out to people. That and I think this whole "Ozpin can body hop" was very much planned from the start considering how he's the one named exception to the Colour Naming Rule in Monty's notes

From the way it sounds, basically you're you but the past memories and major motivations slowly and subtly assert themselves. since ozpin's not bitching about ozpin 0.5 I imagine that the previous personality slowly fades as it melds with the host and the process repeats again when the current one dies.

Since we're apparently going for two opposite brothers, you know what would have been a cool parallel?

Instead of fiery, cheerful Yang, maybe giving Ruby a sister who was more cynical and realistic about the world, and had a no-bullshit attitude.

That doesn't mean she'd have to be a bitch to Ruby or really anyone. Just have more of a somber tone to play off Ruby's fairytale bullshit.

Jaune has a very limited perspective. He's not the viewer and Qrow knows damn well that the very personality traits they picked her for weren't gonna let her walk away even if it killed her.

I get that, but I also really don't think it was good for the scene for him to have a tantrum about it in that moment.

Ruby could have been mad about it, he could have angrily complained about it privately later, there were bigger, more important things for the plot line that RNJR is supposedly pursuing than his personal angst n that moment.
I'm just honestly fed up with Jaune overall and wish M&K would have toned their shit down for one volume.

What? He never shut Qrow up. He listened to him regularly.

Better yet, his reaction is warranted and feels genuine which, even if it annoys you, is still something that is much better than Nora and Ren's apathy.

Add to the fact that is basically trying to not become Pyrrha who ate that shit up. He questioned Qrow because he KNOWS Pyrrha ate that shit up.

He's realized that this is the same sort of shit they told Pyrrha and, even after it led to her death, Qrow is now feeding them that same kind of shit.

Wouldn't that warrant some form of anger?

How was that in any way a tantrum? He questioned Qrow. He tried to find fault but it's because he's angry and he's a teenager who has always been way over his head. His questions were very much important. What does that all mean? If it were real, what do we need to do?

He doesn't even know the guy and it really feels like he and his team are just being used.

If that was a tantrum he would've walked away but he went back, sat down, and listened properly.

You need to understand these are not people. Nora and Ren aren't apathetic, they are written to appear so because Miles and Kerry couldn't balance the scene otherwise.

Jaune is the one that is mad because he was written that way, they were apathetic because they were written that way, even though by rights they should be as mad as he is.

I was really impressed with how he immediately thinks of Qrow using Ruby as bait which Qrow doesn't even outright deny.

You also see that he really understands the situation when Qrow mentions that they'll have to be the ones who fights and he looks away. You could interpret that in many ways like he looked away knowing Qrow was right but didn't want to admit it or he looked away because the you was aimed at him who is obviously too weak to fight.

I want to say he should've been more considerate seeing Qrow injured but the guy was drinking Whiskey. I mean, c'mon.

Anon, even if you say that, what I see in the show is what will be whatever is considered canon and in canon Ren and Nora are pretty apathetic to it.

We should at least believe the show is like that if we really want to compain on how the characters feel.
>>
>>88812156
There are also the instances of him directing PRN to kill the death stalker, and him winning against everyone in the Remnant board game.

The dude clearly has a mind for strategy, maybe even more so than Ruby. I just wish they would let him be that instead of the "LOLJOKECHARACTER"
>>
>>88812198
If we take that view (which I think is right, because otherwise we just collapse the whole conceit and rag on the writers unnecessarily) then Ren and Nora are probably more in shock than anything. They were asking questions during the shadow puppet theater WOR, but afterwards when Ruby, Jaune and Qrow started talking they kept pretty quiet, like they didn't know what to say
Either that or they're still deciding which side they want to be on as a pair, and are torn between Jaune's logical but trauma driven arguments and Ruby's admirable desire to help but equally troubling ability to just accept this bullshit
>>
>>88812198
I'm not arguing about its canonicity, I'm telling you that what I'm complaining about is the writing. Telling me "Jaune's reaction was better than Nora and Ren's" doesn't mean anything when both are a result of what Miles and Kerry decided to do.

I would have rather seen everyone get upset than just Jaune, or even have the more emotional Nora also be upset while Ren tries to focus on the bigger picture. Since she's just as smart as he is, I would have rather seen Ruby also realize she was bait, but forcefully remind Jaune that she's fine with risking her life to save the world.
>>
>>88812210
>More so than Ruby
Ruby has no mind for strategy. She however has absolute combat instinct which often trumps most forms of strategy.

I just really hopw Oscar jooins them and they make Team ORNJ.

You got Knowledge from Oscar/Ozpin, you got Strategy from Jaune, you got Wisdom from Ren, and you got Brute Force in Nora.

Oscar being a powerhouse yet still untrained would have better chemistry with a strategist in a team than Ruby who doesn't need it with her sheer combat prowess.

I think Jaune's sort of getting there this volume. Ren too is heading someplace exciting. Hopefully, Nora gets more love character wise that isn't Ren related.
>>
>>88812229
Ruby might be as smart as Jaune is, but she's nowhere near as strategic, or she would have followed Qrow's advice and stayed back until it was appropriate to provide support
That and she doesn't have the degree of cynicism to realize that her beloved uncle would use her as bait

She's good at killing Grimm, and her entire method there is to essentially slice and semblance boost until they're all dead.

>>
>>88812228
Maybe Nora would be in shock, no pun intended, but I'd say she's more overwhelmed perhaps.

Ren, I think is apathetic because in the end, this doesn't change anything. For him, the point of the journey is to help Ruby with her mission and learning of the mission wouldn't really throw him off. He's up immediately the next morning saying they should go.

Its almost as if Ruby is incredibly hard to develop as a character because her character trait of being the innocent, simple minded slayer of Grimm is actually a plot point

She used to be, unless you want to argue that her plan for the nevermore wasn't tactical and Jaune's plan for the Deathstalker was. The relevance of her ability to think in a fight went away because now she's on a team with Jaune, who is nothing but that.

Ruby is not as smart as Jaune in the strategy sense.

People are saying Jaune stole the scene or it was all about Jaune when it was not. Why is it that Jaune being the one angry makes him steal the scene? It's within character of Jaune to be open about how he feels about something.

You have to stop thinking how they should've done this or they should've done that and isntad go with the flow and present an explanation that satisfies you. Ask Why instead and it'd be much deeper than you think.

Let's look at Ruby's showing this episode. She mainly asks things about why didn't he join them. Or why didn't he trust her enough to tell her.

At this point, the only thing on Ruby's mind is her uncle. She doesn't care about being used as bait, she doesn't even seem to care about a huge-ass reveal which would normally leave her exited as fuck.

Right now she's sad and the only thing she asks is why didn't her uncle go with her them and trust.

At this point it's obvious why. It's because all of that stuff is second to Qrow. Being a hero, what her uncle has done, Pyrrha, nothing matter at this point to Ruby rather than her uncle who got hurt because of her.

Note how she mentions things like trust while the last episode had her go against what he's telling her to do and saying stuff like "It's my fight too".

And as a foil to Jaune, Ruby does not confront him about any hidden implications. Or what to do next. Or what any of what she experienced means. She just cares about her family.
>>
>>88812403
And he wants to make sure that the others don't eat up Qrow's words and let him off the hook that easily.
>>
>>88812403
Nah. I think Jaune knows Pyrrha really chose to do it and they didn't force anything which was why he had no rebuttal.

He knowd there's no one to really blame but it won't stop him from being angry.

>>
>>88812444
I don't think it's possible for me to disagree more with the sentiment that I need to accept how it was.

The reason people are saying Jaune stole the scene is because there's three other people in that camp who were friends with Pyrrha. Two of which were her teammates, who barely got any on screen interaction with her. Having them quietly sit and listen as he rightly gets upset, rather than either of them being upset themselves, shows that we're back to square one with their characterization. They live and breath for moments at a time and then slip into the background to quietly avoid interrupting the story that careens along with or without them.

The conclusion we are forced to draw with how the show has presented it is that they don't care as much as Jaune. Not even close. That's kind of fucking garbage.

With Ozpin's dark, sick, cruel design and convinced her the world could be saved?

I don't know, Jaune's plan was formulated a lot faster, communicated faster and executed quickly. He took charge of a melee, while Ruby got to put her plan into action as the only one with an actual idea
Plus her plan was highly situational and convoluted compared to Jaune's plan, which could easily become a repeatable strategy for JNPR to use against Deathstalkers later on

>Jaune pushed to Salem's side through Ozpin's lie

>Communicated faster
This is the thing though. It wasn't really a plan; he didn't communicate it to anyone. He called their names, and told Nora to "Nail it". The only actual part that was creative was instantaneous collaboration between Nora and Pyrrha. As far as I remember he didn't even gesture to weakened Deathstalker tail.

Jaune's role in that fight could have been an egg timer that they all knew was to remind them to look for a weakness, followed by Nora and Pyrrha deciding on their own to do the combo attack that they thought up on the spot.

Yeah. They don't. That's fact.

Also, Pyrrha was brought up once which then Qrow cleared any misunderstanding about. Jaune accused then Qrow mentioned that it was her choice which Jaune couldn't disagree to.

Ruby doesn't like talking about her feelings and like hell she'd think her uncle would do any wrong. Of course she wouldn't be upset. I'm sure she'd even be the first one to call out Jaune if he bothered continuing that thread of thought.

Why would Ren and Nora even be upset when they were still overwhelmed? Pyrrha being brought up happens so fast and is then hut down immediately that they wouldn't have any time to react. They would have no reason to believe this guy had anything to do with Pyrrha's death and barely any time to react appropriately.

You know who does? Jaune. He even brings up Ozpin because he was there when a lot of crap happened as well. Jaune gets upset fast because he's most likely spent the last few motnhs agonizing the whole thing in his head like Why would she do something like that or what was going on. He's had time to get think about it every night as he watches those videos.

I agree. Ren and Nora have felt a bit out of place in volume 4, but in the camp fire scene even more. They're are just only sort of there. You can edit them out of the scenes and you wouldn't really notice them being gone.

Jaune is the only one in the team who talks about Pyrrha. Even while she lived, she barely interacted with Ren and Nora.

It's very possible the team isn't the family people here claim them up to be.

I mean, Pyrrha for them could've just been an okay team mate. It's not like Pyrrha herself tried to reach out as well.
