The RWBY Thread

It was adorable to see Ruby beat Neo through her brains instead of her brawn. Who else would possibly have thought to pop open her umbrella and send her flying? That being said, since she just kinda Mary Poppins'ed away, I highly doubt that she's dead. She'll be back.

I don't know if I believe Roman's dead or not. On one hand, it was the perfect death for him -- having his last egotistical little monologue about his survival skills, only to be eaten by a beast that HE helped release. Hi Karma, welcome to the fight! Bye Roman, hope you were delicious! But he was swallowed whole, so he may have still been alive in the stomach when that Grimm disintegrated. That would be fine with me too, since as far as the villains go, he and Neo are my favorites. They're cool-evil, everyone else is just ***-evil.

Adam is officially on my list of worst-hated people EVER. First going all King Creeptastic with Blake, then slapping her around like an abusive boyfriend, then STABBING her through the stomach (oh we are so done you shiny red assbonnet perched atop a warthog's wrinkly back-end!) And THEN hacking off Yang's arm when she tried to defend Blake, and that's not even mentioning that he tried to legitimately decapitate Blake. WHAT. I had a heart attack before I realized that her semblance-clone took that hit. Please never terrify me like that again!

Speaking of Yang, hopefully she gets herself a kick-*** robotic arm, but unless Blake managed to get both Yang AND her dismembered limb, she's short half her weapon.

Cinder has all of Amber's power. Great, just great. But I am relieved that Pyrrha didn't have to give herself up, say goodbye to her dreams, to become the Fall Maiden.

Velvet's weapon! What a babe. So the theory that the pictures she was taking weren't JUST pictures was right! Sounds like she can only use each weapon once, though, if we consider Coco's talks -- "You've spent all semester building that up, don't waste it here." and "Make every one count." Hopefully if she takes another picture, she gets access to the weapon back, instead of being truly a one-time deal per weapon. What I find the coolest about that is that it doesn't just mimic the weapon, it actually gives Velvet the full ability to use it. When she had Crescent Rose, she wielded it just as well as Ruby, with the same form and everything. When she had Myrtenaster, she didn't just have it -- she had it exactly like Weiss. And then they had to have her pull out Penny's swords and perfectly mimic her stance. Way to re-break my heart, RT!

Speaking of Weiss, not only is her summoning finally getting there, but the theory that she fought the knight in her trailer so she could call him later was strengthened, if not confirmed. But my question is, can she call anything like that that she's defeated? Or is that particular knight her Familiar, and she had to fight him to make him see her as his mistress? Winter didn't call a knight for her summon, so perhaps Weiss will be able to call anything she's killed in the future?

I really, really hope that Oobleck and Port are okay. Please?

And seriously. WHERE is Zwei?!

This episode! Holy mother of crap!

Adam is completely OP. I saw this because so far as I can tell he just cut through Yang's aura and her arm in 1 hit. There's not a single time in the entire series we've seen any character go down in a fight from a single blow that I'm aware of, until now. The closest thing I can come to as an excuse for this would be her aura being low due to the fight with Mercury since it was at 1/100 after that fight. Still, it seems like quite the long shot.

Also... given Ember's final words in this episode, wonder who she's talking about and if she has some sort of connection to Ozpin. With her new power she's definitely going to be a threat more than ever and with Ozpin calling for 3 others to back him up? I can't imagine what kinda damage she's gonna do before backup arrives, especially now that we see limbs coming off.

At least on the whole Adam cutting through her in one slice... That's pretty standard Anime/video game stuff, really. Characters get punched through a tree and are fine but when the story requires it, they're paper thin. It's the same with Torchwick. He was getting beat to a pulp in a few episodes by characters that aren't as capable as Ruby then he's whooping her in this episode.
