Haha, remember when the only infrastructure damage Glynda was worried about was after Winter and Qrow’s battle? Hahahahhahahaha good times I’m dying
I’m gonna throw all my reactions/predictions out here again. Some bits here and there are copied+pasted from the reaction thread.
So, for Ruby, Torchwick and Neo…
RIP Torchwick. You came, you saw, you...got eaten by a griffon :(
^ Felt kinda bad for him there. “I can’t afford to lose...You can’t stop them, I can’t stop them...”. Yeah, he’s a psychopath, but...I don’t know. Idk where I’m going with this. He’s got no choice. He’d be...less of a criminal if he didn’t team up with Cinder. To be honest, his death actually gave me chills.
Neo’s going to live. She has the umbrella.
Ruby finally being the hero. Even not watching while things explode behind her. Way to go!
So if Ruby’s back on Amity and we’re right about Amity falling next episode due to the dragon, she’s going to be the first one to square off with it, unless she finds a way to escape.
The concept art in the credits...Is that Torchwick?
For Blake, Adam, and Yang…
Adam=confirmed rapist. I was hoping that the whole “‘I’m not running’...’you will’” from the preview meant that him teaming up with Cinder was just a ruse and that he did actually care about Blake getting away from that but I guess not. No redemption for him now.
Adam also=confirmed edgelord. Stabbing Blake like that to get Yang to hear them? Holy shit.
Yang’s arm...Since bleeding out clearly isn’t a thing in this show, she’ll be fine, and we can hope for an OP bionic replacement in the future. But still… No more sanctioned fights for her, I’m guessing. By the way, in case we needed more Yangst, she’s crying when she rushes to hit Adam.
After that ^ fiasco, I actually thought for a second that he beheaded Blake. Might as well rename the show Game of Beacon. Game of Remnant. Game of RWBYs. ...We’ll think of something.
Soo Yang’s out for the big fight, and Blake will be too to tend to her wounded spouse.
For Weiss and the group…
Weiss summoned! An arm. foreshadowing for later
That moment of realization/clarity from Weiss was so cool. Loved it.
VELVET CONFIRMED OP AS FUCK. Momentarily. She can copy peoples’ exact fighting styles, which is hella cool. Wonder if she can do semblances too. And they played “I May Fall”!
For Ironwood, Glynda, and Qrow…
Lol Cardin stayed to fight. Way to be useful. In all that’s happened, he looks like a sweet innocent do-gooder compared to all of the big bads.
Ironwood is half cyborg! So cool! Also immediately reverts to “the general” pose every time someone refers to him like that. You know which one I’m talking about.
We finally get to see Qrow’s scythe. Thankfully, for once Ironwood doesn’t shoot first and ask questions later.
That clip of the ship crashing is gonna be used for a lot of couples in the near future.
For Jaune, Pyrrha, and Ozpin…
Ozpin’s ded.
To be honest, that “such arrogance” line is the first time I actually really liked Cinder’s VA’s voice acting.
I’m not surprised Pyrrha didn’t get the powers. I still feel like RWBY maidens is the endgame.
Still no Jaune semblance. It better be damn good, RT.
“The tower cannot fall”. Jinxed! Thanks a lot, Ozpin.
...Well, looks like we’re ending this volume on a cliffhanger, kids. Buckle in!
