RWBY

[Master Eraqus 1,340]

Thoughts on Chapter 10:

 

 

 

This episode was AWESOME!!! So many things happening that I must see this episode about 5 more times!

 

• New Grimm
• Everyone working together being completely amazing with their teamwork
• Ruby using one of Penny's swords
• The terror brought down everywhere really makes it feel like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows... and that's a good thing!

This episode really kept me on the edge of my seats and gasped for the majority of it. Overall, (as if I even needed to say this obvious thing ) this chapter was awesome and the best so far. (I've been saying "the best so far" ever since Chapter 6 . In other words, each chapter keeps getting better and better.

I haven't seen episode 10 yet, not a sponsor, but I just now watched the latest World of Remnant. 

 

Could it be that Oz is the wizard that the four maidens helped? I have a feeling it is.

 

 

You know you can watch it right now on the Roosterteeth website, right? I take it you're watching it on YouTube, which gets episodes one week late.

It was available to sponsor only when I made that post.

Ah, okay. That's odd, though, considering that episodes should normally be out around that time.

YOOOOO!!!! THAT EPISODE WAS SO INTENSE O.O

[Emrys 3,192]

 

Ruby with a sword, mmmyeah.

Ironwoods gun looks like Hawkmoon, its looks a little too much Hawkmoon.

He stoped that neo beawolfs attack with just his right hand, thats the only hand with a glove on it.... he is based off the tin man soooo....Fullmetal general?

 Oh Ozpin gonna fight, AND HES USING HOLDING HIS CANE LIKE A SWORD!

Oh dragon grimm.... I want either Ozpin to fight it or team RWBY.... Or Qrow. Or EVERYONE.

Next week: Ruby vs Neo? Ozpin vs the dragon? Blake vs adam? And Jaune vs my expectations. WHO . WILL. WIN?!

• [*]Ruby wielding Penny's blade. At that moment I felt her determination to end this shit.

Ruby best girl remains best girl. [*]Velvet taking another picture... further supporting that it has something to do with her weapon. Also I would like to point out her symbol is another hint that's been bugging me. I can't add all these pieces together, but I do have a farfetch'd idea. Keyword: recreate. [*]Adam talking like that to Blake; prick confirmed. Cut his throat Blake. [*]Ruby vs Neo. Oh god Ruby is going to have trouble with this one. [*]Loving the new Grimm, even if I've known about some already thanks to Grimm Eclipse. [*]Speaking of Grimm, holy Motherglare! (Fairy Tail reference.) Dat Dragon Grimm is going to rekt everything. [*]Speaking of GE, that earthquake that happens due to the DG, does that mean there's another one? in Mountain Glenn or is that the same one that cause the earthquake during the game? [*]Shit Ozpin, couldn't you have called Pyrrha? Now Cinder knows where to go. Although with that being said, I can see both fighting to gain the other half and perhaps the maiden power be gone from both or for the first time, destroyed for good. [*]The animation was so firetrucking good when Weiss and Blake were fighting. Other places were a bit wonky, but overall very good compared to previous episodes.

That being said, hell is here and has come to stay. e.e

Chapter 10

 

 

Ruby with Penny's sword. T_T

Ren up front and center. Tribute to Monty. =')

Badass Ironwood.

"Huh. Nothing."

"NO!"

Emerald regret...

Camera movement is awesome.

Dragon Grimm = wyvern (first thought was Noivern, but...)

 

Also, Pyrrha walking to Ozpin, even though no one else understood why- theory by a Redditor: https://www.reddit.com/r/RWBY/comments/43ljto/spoilersv3e10_not_everyone_is_neo/

- You know, it's just occurred to me how little our main cast has actually done in this Volume. Aside from Weiss's "development" with Winter, they've literally either done things to serve the plot, have things happen to them, or just have done nothing.

- I've always found it interesting that Hunstmen/Huntresses can just mail-summon their weapons like that. You would think whatever mail service is responsible for that might come up as a plot point, but oh well.

- And once again, this entire invasion is a non-conflict. Something bring in God of Destruction Coco already.

- Oh yeah, since everybody doesn't know that Penny is a robot, shouldn't they be questioning why she's not bleeding out or anything? Like, is that even going to be brought up again in the episode or... yeah...

- Weapon Ex Machina, everybody.

- Also, hey, Coco is here. Now this entire invasion can be over in record time... of course, it won't, but hey, a man can dream.

- "Anybody got a plan of attack?" I GOT ONE. SICK F*CKING COCO ON THEM ALL. SERIOUSLY... okay, I'll stop now.

- Well, Oobleck is joining the fray. That's one good thing so far.

- Look at all these f*cking Beacon students running around like chickens with their heads cut off. You would think that these Huntsmen/Huntresses could handle themselves, but nah, we gotta focus on the "main cast" who are apparently the only ones who are "competent". I guess if you don't have a voice actor or even a miniscule amount of screen-time, you're helpless.

- ... Seriously? Ironwood can man-handle a Grimm with just a pistol and his bare hands and none of the Spartans even managed to leave a scratch? I don't even...

- Oh, I'm sure they'll pick the option of leaving and saving their skins. It's not like their exact reasons for staying in said kingdom is to go to school and train to fight monsters as a job or anything...

- Being only semi-useful as always, Neo. Never change... no seriously, don't change. I'd honestly rather have you put into this role instead of being the OP troll I thought you were going to be when you first showed up.

- Well, I guess Ruby v. Neo is next week.

- Okay, for the love of Pete, if the Spartans can't even scratch a Grimm, why the f*ck are they now being represented as a threat to Hunters and Huntresses? Is there any sense of logic anymore in how power scaling works in this damn show???

- Are people still watching Cinder's broadcast? Turn your f*cking screens off people, you're just making the problem worse!

- Looks like Pyhrra's off to get the power that was already proven to be weaker than Cinder, Ember, and Mercury teaming up in a flashback... yaaaay....

 

Alright, well, this is being even more of a non-conflict than it already was to begin with. Not to mention that the plot keeps dragging on with cliffhangers to various things happening, but I guess that's what happens when you have 3 episodes to fill with a full frontal assault. Either way, this episode was average at best and frustrating at worst. 6/10.

 

[Arya Stark 1,337]

They did show off the rocket lockers as a plot point, back in volume 1. Cardin shoved Jaune in one and shipped him off to god knows where. They're made by the school, each student gets one for their own use.

Cinder literally told everyone that Penny was a robot in her terrorist speech last episode

Ironwood is a trained Huntsman, and the head of a military. OF COURSE he can handle a Grimm better than any robot. But I will agree that power scaling is really whack in this show.

I think the Spartans are less of a threat to the students and huntsmen as they are to the populace. Of course, Cinder also has the Paladins, and those were shown to pack quite a bit of a punch.

Also, it is upsetting to see a complete lack of development for the characters, especially since it's such a stark contrast to the last two volumes that had plenty of it and managed to keep a plot going in some form. They seemed to forsake both of those for more action in this volume (and consistently worse choreography too), which is not really a good thing at all.

That's not a plot point, that's a visual gag.

I'm pretty sure she didn't because if they did, they would be questioning it like rational human beings. Then again, their rationality is also something to call into question, so I don't know.

The "populace" is supposedly full of other Hunters/Huntresses other than the main/side cast. It shouldn't be a problem. The suspension of disbelief was already thrown out the window before that point anyway.

-It didn't need to be more than a gag. HEY WE HAVE LOCKERS THAT HOLD YOUR WEAPONS AND CAN DELIVER THEM TO YOU VIA YOUR SCROLL

That's what it said, it didn't, and still hasn't needed to be more detailed.

-I am certain that Cinder did. And I don't see why they should question it. They saw her get cut into pieces and all the wiring, and they heard it directly from her. And it's well known in the world that Atlas is at the forefront of technology. Them producing a robot that can pass as a human does not seem outside the realm of possibility at all, especially when they just saw it happen.

-NOT THE THOUSANDS OF CIVILIANS THAT LIVE IN THE CITY yes the students running away is stupid though. I guess they're scared, and unprepared, and it's very possible that none of them are even close to the skill level of the main cast (I've seen this thought before, where most of the students are actually CRDL level and below, and we only see that really good ones) so they'll only get in the way. AND THEY'RE TEENAGERS

even trained kids are still kids

[Emrys 3,192]

Cinder DID say Penny was a robot. I remember it. Of course I pay attention, so that might have something to do with it.

They didn't hear shit. The only one who knew that Penny was a robot was Ruby and she didn't even say anything. Everybody else believes that they just saw a normal girl get cut into pieces. And no, it isn't in the realm of possibility because that makes no sense. Robots =/= people in this universe. Robots are soldiers. Seeing that a student they've gone to school with for some time actually revealed to be a robot should be pretty surprising. Also, since we're on the subject: A) Ruby shouldn't even care that Penny is cut up since she's a robot and can be repaired and b) Pyhrra shouldn't care because since it's obvious that Penny is a robot. Why would she care about a robot she doesn't even know nor knows is capable of human emotion? What is even going on with Penny's character in general?

First off, the "civilians" according to Cinder are still watching her stupid broadcast and causing more negative emotion to spill into Beacon. The ones that haven't smartened up and evacuated that is. Second, these "teenagers" are super powered warriors whose duty is to fight monsters. They have no excuse.

Cinder said in her speech "making a synthetic army and why would Atlas disguise a solider as a innocent little girl" (Penny, obviously) so she did in a way say that Penny was a robot.  Yes, it should still be surprising to everyone that didn't know she was one. A) Yes, Ruby should care that Penny got cut up because she was her friend doesn't matter if she could be repaired, hell she doesn't know that if she dose get repaired she will be the same Penny she knows. B) Because Pyhrra isn't a heartless bitch, because she knows that she's Ruby's friend and that she did that awful thing to her regardless if she was a robot or not. Plus with all the Grimm invading them thinking that Penny could be repaired is probably the last thing on their minds right now.

I swear, you are to this topic what Shinji matou is to the fate series 

[TheKingdomkid 1,194]

Today marks one year since the lost of Monty Oum and it still hurts to think that we lost such a great person that has done amazing things in his short life.  He never got to see Volume 3 of RWBY and how far that his creation can go, nor did he get to go to Japan to talk about the Japaneses dub of RWBY and see that happen and get to see Lazer Team, the first movie from Rooster Teeth. But he did know how much joy his work gave people and how loved he was by his friends, family, and fans, just keep moving forward and go out and create something that you have always wanted to do.

[Firaga 5,947]

I'm pretty sure the people watching the broadcast are people from the other kingdoms. Why would ANYONE in Vale watch a broadcast right now while running for their lives?

 

Better question: why would any of the other kingdoms still be watching anyway if they supposedly know that negative emotion attracts Grim? Another thing: why is the broadcast relevant to anybody not in the other kingdoms when the attack is aimed specifically at Vale?

Plus with all the Grimm invading them thinking that Penny could be repaired is probably the last thing on their minds right now.

 

A) Literally no evidence has been given to that scenario. All we know and all Ruby knows is that she is a robot and can be prepared, and yet she is acting like she just saw a real life human being getting sliced to ribbons, which would be a very tragic thing, but is rendered as a non-conflict due to the fact that we know Penny is not human.

 

B) She had no interaction with Penny prior to this event. Literally nobody has interacted with Penny outside of her handlers and Team RWBY. She and the rest of the students should have already figured out that she's a robot by now. All of this is forced drama, and over what? Is there a statement supposed to be made about Penny as a character? I don't know, the narrative isn't giving us any clues except "hey, she's all broken now, be sad about it." And no, I'm not saying they should have gotten her repaired right that hot minute, but the conclusion should still be drawn due to basic common sense.

1. I was hoping you'd ask that question. I will answer it with this: 

 

 

 

2. Cinder states, "focus on the Atlesian Knights." This is most likely a way to have the other kingdoms believe that Atlas is attacking Vale and basically make Atlas look like the bad guys and possibly starting another war.

1. ... I don't get it.

 

2. But the Grimm are attacking Vale. And so are the White Fang. And the controlled Spartans, while recognized as Atlas, are bunk. Starting a war isn't even the objective. It's to cause chaos long enough for Cinder and co. to retrieve the rest of Amber's Maiden powers.

• I'm saying that even if something is really terrible, you won't look away, such as a car on fire.
• Starting a war would create even more chaos and further 'harm' (not sure what word to use here) the peace that has been going for 80 years.
