You can make pretty much anything less intimidating by giving it a silly nickname. Ever wonder why the Grimm Dragon is almost universally called Kevin now?
ultama7 The Last Will and Testament of Phyrra Nikos: "To Jaune Arc, my comrade, leader, and friend, I leave my weapons and my armor. Now, here's what I want you to do, Jaune...."
The combined sword and scabbard/shield is such a good weapon, when I think about it. Jaune needed more power to his attacks, so why not combine the weight. The average arming sword only weighs so much, 2-5lbs. I'm going to say 5lbs, and combined with his scabbard, that would make his broadsword (which isn't a real sword classification, but I can't think of anything else here) about 15 pounds, and ideally you are supposed to put your body weight behind sword swings (without overbalancing yourself, but that's more a matter of footwork)... since Jaune is 17 years old, 6"1', and has a slim/moderate build... I'd guess he is 135-140lbs. Meaning that his broadsword swings pack a whopping 150-155 pounds of force.
GraveDigger35 They succeeded. We nearly thought Qrow was gonna die! Even I did! And an upset, pissed and enraged Ruby Rose is the least of my worries then by the time Volume 5 came rolling round! Thankfully the writers were merciful and spared Uncle Qrow's life, doesn't mean he'll get lucky second time round 😶😶😶
The post credit scene is even funnier once you realize it the English brothers Elric from FMA - of course the CRWBY would pull something like that, why did I not think of that. just this time Al is the short one as Oscar, and Ed is the tall one in Qrow, he even calls his counterpart a pipsqueak. Ah the FMA nostalgia.
Anyone else noticed that aside from pinning it to the floor and disabling it, the only weapons that actually made that fucking thing scream in pain - as opposed to actual missiles from Nora getting its attention - were Jaune's shield-edge blade and Ren's knife? The ones that were mementos of loved ones. I cannot WAIT to see if that's a thing with fighting Grimm. Striking at them with love in your heart as well as intent to destroy.
Crocea Mors was what made it scream even before he used the shield-blade, while Stormflower's blades didn't even make it flinch when Ren had them jammed into it's hands. Most of the actual damage was Melee-strikes against the body, or at least NOT the "Hands". Although the screams when they pinned the arms might have been rage instead of pain, hard to tell.
He said knife (talking about Ren, it belonged to his father). And Crocea Mors is kind of another weapon now. The whole metal was reforged and melted with Pyhrra´s shield and tiara. You can tell because in Vol 3 the sword was cracked and old.
She'll never stop. That weapon's an heirloom; for every Arc that wields it, forevermore, Pyrrha will be there with them. He made her part of his family, in the end.
I think it really puts in perspective just how powerful Hunters are in Remnant. Four teenagers, who haven't even finished their training (And one of which seemingly doesn't even have a Semblance yet), took out a Grimm that wiped out god knows how many villages by itself.
like shes good and all but i kinda dont like how it seems like every reactor knows the song names when i dont know any names besides i burn red like roses and this will be the day.
SaviorOfNirn it's a bad thing when people listen to it to much like these reactors are doing cuz then rwby is the only thing they think about and they become obsessed with it. Like take murderofbirds for example he was tearing up when nothing bad was happening which In my mind looked very childish I was like really your gonna tear up when everything is all happy and joyous come on man get a grip. Then u have this girl who seems to love the music wayyyyy to much to the point where she would sing the lyrics and she's always listening to the soundtrack that to me means she's obsessed.
I am so glad I can come here and see that people don't hate volume 4 the comment section there sucks I mean everybody there complains and I can't escape all the mocking from defending the series that kept me going on with my life today. Monty I hope you can see this up there you saved my life and I can never thank you enough
I'm so happy I found your reactions. You and I both have a similar story with RWBY. About 2 weeks before Monty's death, my best friend overdosed and passed, and like you, stumbled across the Red trailer, and since then, RWBY has been an integral part of my outlook on life. Thank you so much for being such an awesome person. And remember, Keep Moving Forward.
When we are depressed and lost, we look for something, anything, that just feels good. Sometimes it's pain, or the comfort of loneliness, or substances that numb these things. (I used to find some comfort in seeing my friends be happy, with or without me. Sort of a mix of both things.) Sometimes though, it's something like this, a beautiful, powerful creation, art, that inspires a power and beauty within you once thought was gone. I understand why something like RWBY is so important to us, it's both crazy and comforting knowing that millions of others feel the same for their own reasons. We're all happy, me included this time, we're all happy together.
Listening to the awesome singing while looking at comments until the opening ends and I just hear "uh, FUUUCkkk". This is why you and Arnold are the best RWBY reactors.
I think half the pleasure has been your reactions to this thunderblast of a volume. You have been a joy to watch, and I greatly appreciate that you have shared your experiences with us. Your relief, joy, sadness and shock has been shared by us all. Also, yes, your laughter _is_ cute af :)
Just watched this. The episode was very powerful, but watching your reactions amplified it by at least one order of magnitude. I don't remember much of my reaction when I first saw the finale, but I doubt there was as much wetness on my face as there was this time. Thank you for sharing. I wish you were my daughter-in-law.
That scene when Jaune is looking at his weapons thinking of pyrrha in his room. Then ren and Nora join and sit together thinking about their friend with whom together they were JUNIPER... GOSH THE FEEEELSSS!!!!!! TnT
Thank you for sharing this reaction and for telling your discovery story. I discovered this show when volume 3 first came out and it was a magical thing for me as well. Living with a physical disability, I find myself going through long stretches of time where, due to circumstances beyond my control I have to live vicariously through the media I consume. Snow and severe weather for example, is an inconvenience to the able-bodied that leaves me all but imprisoned in my own home. RWBY is one of those rare gems of a show that lets me explore the world through the lens of other people's imaginations, lets me spend my dead time in a way that is fulfilling and meaningful, and gives me something around which to ground my perspective and emotions during those long periods of time when I'm physically and emotionally isolated. That's part of the reason why I enjoy watching your reactions, because the level of emotional honesty you bring to your analysis really resonates with me. The magic of this series is that it's more than the sum of it's parts. Monty's passion project is able to draw from real human emotions and paint a world with them that everyone who sees it finds heartwarming and fulfilling on some level. 4 full Volumes in and people are still falling in love with it. Here's hoping Volume 5 continues that same proud tradition. Thank you again for sharing your story, and know that you're not alone in believing it means a great deal to the people who watch it. I'm proud to be part of your RWBY journey and I wanted to take this time to thank you for letting me be a part of it.
16:31 I know she says "Which is why," but everytime I mishear it because of that transition I hear, "this Zwei." Great video Arryn. Do you know what the plan is for the meantime? Mostly stream content, or the existing reactions with a random video/showcase here and there? That being said I feel your pain about classes. Anatomy work has me on a constantly track of studying.
Well the battle is won but the war rages on. Now we move on, we are ready for the next step. I want to point out that the transition the characters had throughout this volume was the same Arryn had. From wounded emotions to opening up and enduring whatever the world throws at us. In the struggle we call life we all feel alone at one point; but no matter what we must look around us and see we have people supporting us. Whether is family of friends they are with us. What now? Well we do what we know best: Gear up, stand ready and keep moving foward. Seeya around guys. I know each and everyone of you will accomplish something great, I belive in you and I'll root for you. Have a good life.
I had been waiting for a proper story arc for Ren since I first picked up this series, around volume 2, and the past few episodes have brought more depth to his character than I could possibly have imagined. We had his Semblance revealed, his pain shown, his story told, and his family avenged. Just as Arryn said, this is everything we could have hoped for. Thank you CRWBY for an epic volume Thank you Arryn for such heartwarming reactions Thank you Nora for slapping Ren when he really needed it Thank you Ren for having the courage to finally accept Nora's feelings (It's about time!) PS. Arryn, I know that there are many who would find it strange for a person to find so much life and comfort from fictional characters, but I can most definitely relate.
You are now my favorite Rwby Reactor... You really got attached to the show like i did. i got the same chills and feelings with everything you said. i almost cried when i heard all our days playing in the background of your talking. thank you for making this video.
The Red Trailer, despite being a trailer, was a masterpiece in and of itself. The minimal color palette, the way the music and animation synced, the fast paced animation that still managed to be fluid, the choreography that Monty is so well known for... it all came together in a perfect short video that stood on its own, even if it hadn't been a trailer.
any length of video of anything from you is so nice to see! I loved the finale song and the finale. seeing your reaction was so nice, and seeing the finale a second time got me crying again. hearing your story was sweet and reminded me about my start for rwby and how I felt when monty died. great video you are my favorite reactor!
Is it just me, or does this thing feel like a dark souls boss? also, all I could think when it spun was, "fuck your circle strafes," and that made me laugh for some reason.
I just want to take a moment to thank you for your reactions to this volume. Your willingness and ability to open yourself up and fully express your emotions to each chapter was truly inspiring. I thoroughly enjoyed every episode, as it perfectly reflected my own thoughts and emotions to this volume. I'm looking forward to you continuing to enjoy Camp Camp, and the next seasons of Red vs Blue, and RWBY Chibi. Sadly, portraying my own thoughts and emotions outwardly has never been one of my strong suits, but just want to say it again. Thank you.
To think this episode was gonna have a happy ending....until that cliffhanger! Ah shit! Professor Lionheart alludes The Cowardly Lion where it appears he has betrayed Ozpin due to cowardice! Highlight for me is how Lie Ren went straight up savage against the Grimm! The song "Armed and Ready" is definitely a Yang song as as she has new arm and regained her confidence.
Ren is definitely my favorite character- Like, from the first volume I KNEW that Ren would be my favorite. Edit : also- Ren is like- so cool- since he can mask negative emotions with his semblance, and Grimms go after negative emotions, he has like, a huge advantage-
This was a nice volume, to see the characters grow past their sorrow and finally have a moment of piece. of course troubling times are ahead, but im sure next season is still gonna be super awesome! You're reactions to this whole volume was incredible and im looking forward to whatever else you have in store :)
Your an amazing person you have no need to look for hope for that hope is inside of you And like Ruby you will have friends that always want you around, because you are a special person and there is only one of you in the whole of the universe we would be less than we are without you
36:13 made me tear up. Part of why so many of us adore your videos, Arryn, is many of us experience RWBY on our own. Many of us don't get to share the huge array of emotions we all feel with other people. That connection of emotions is vital to us. Your confession of trying to get your parents to understand why it was so important to you is similar to that power Though you can't see us, know that you aren't alone in your emotional investment. Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable with us. Your laughter and tears, joys and sorrows, hopes and fears that arise out of a story created by others is a tribute in itself to all their hard work. Thank you for sharing with us, and letting us share indirectly too. It's good to know others get affected strongly. See you next season!
I just listened to this again... and you know? Your reaction videos are just... I'm teary-eyed now. You can bring tears to my eyes in a good way watching you love this show so much. Thank you again for sharing these videos :)
I think this'll be the first time I've commented on this channel. To be honest, this'll be the first time I've commented on anything in about two years. It's funny, I fell in love with RWBY, RVB, and Rooster Teeth as a whole very recently. I really didn't pay much mind to anything RT produced until Monty's passing. When I saw social media sites everywhere expressing their sorrow and mourning for him did I realize who he was as a creator. Definitely one of the best with an overflowing amount of creativity, emotion, skill, and experience. Always learning. Always moving forward. And making every second of his life count. All 4 volumes of RWBY resonated with me differently. This one stood out to me however. I'm still sure what it is exactly, but I'm sure I'll discover it one day. And out of all of the "reactors" that I watch, (and trust me, I watch A LOT of them) yours resonates with me on a relatable level. Perhaps not the same in terms of emotion, but the impact that this fantastical world has on me is not lost. You're, without a doubt, one of my favorite reactors to watch; right next to good, old MurderofBirds. The commentary you have as well as your insight and references to other forms of art, as an artist yourself, make your videos all the more entertaining and intriguing to watch. To sum this up, because I've dragged this out WAY too long, I very much so enjoy your content and look forward to seeing your reactions for RWBY volume 5 and RVB.
I know I'm late in saying this but you and Arnold, aka MurderOfBirds, have the best and in my eyes truest reactions. You aren't afraid to show your emotions and you both point out the most obscure things that make my mind race. So thank you!
Yeah, when Jaune, Nora and Ren are all in their room, just thinking about the past. It's so powerfull ! :) I think people cry in the end because we're relieved that no one died or crazy bad thing happend. Great reaction btw.
I met you at taiyou con last year you cosplayed phyrra and your friend was blake. I'm so happy to find your channel. The emotions you show are a rollercoaster for me when you cry or laugh gets me all the time. keep making amazing these videos to come
Hello, ma'am. *puts a plush fox next to you* I'm halfway through. Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry you were feeling a tad under the weather and hope you're doing better. And yes. This was very very much an episode... a season we needed. And I say this as a relative newcomer, having declined to watch it initially when I ran across S1E1 (the silver eyes comment had me stop watching). It was RWBY Chibi and learning of S3E12 that brought me back. And the absolute enthusiasm of fans like you. Thank you.
I was looking forward to your reaction the most, Arryn, and it was everything I expected and more. This finale was indeed phenomenal, and did everything right. Thank you for your time and effort to make these videos for our benefit. It makes the show seem just that much better. :)
I said in the first episode of this series: "Hugs. Enough said" Due to clearly how it affected you. And from what I've watched and part of your explanation on some of the reasons the show of RWBY has spoken to you on a deep, personal level. So, i say again for the the end of this season... "Hugs once more Arryn, for your wonderful video's on a spectacular Anime show. And for the time you've taken to discus the finer points of it" I hope that you can now for a little while focus a bit more on your school work :P So till the new season comes out, stay strong Arryn, and good luck in all your endeavours. -Neo
You know I was thinking about it and I figured out why this grimm is so much creepier than the rest to me, it is the same reason the fight feels so much more personal. This is not team RNJR against a powerful grimm, it is team RNJR against a serial killer who happens to be a creepy grimm as well. This is the first grimm we see with a lair, the first one we have seen kill on screen and get away. We see all the discarded weapons that a Ooblic could most likely use to figure out the age of this grimm, this is Hannibal grimm and we are witnessing the law of the land carry out a field execution of it.
an honest reaction, on how art, poetry, story and characters can change your life, and open the gate of hearts. and to think people have the gall to mock series like this. the rooster teeth team must see this reaction.
This volume has been stellar, and watching your reactions has been amazing. I'm so glad I stumbled on your channel. RWBY was something that I got really attached to without entirely realizing it, and seeing you be so open about your feelings for it has made me feel a lot better about geeking out or getting emotional over it. This is seriously the only show that's given me so many feels. Pyrrha is the only character death in anything that's made me feel so sad, and Cold is the only song that can always make me cry a little bit, and I have a feeling I'll be singing Armed and Ready any time I feel down for the next year. I'm so glad to have had you with me for volume 4, and I'm more excited for volume 5 than I've been for anything in ages.
The voice of Klein was....J. Michael TATUM!?!? From the dubs of anime shows such as Baccano!, Black Butler(LOL, he played the titular butler, nice, CWRBY), Spice & Wolf and more!?!?!?
Arryn, you were the first reaction channel for RWBY that i actually watched. i first watched your chapter 2 reaction...and seeing you get torn up made me get torn up as well, due to somethings going on at the time. As crazy as it sounds, i found some comfort and relief after watching said episode...so i went back and watched the first one, and followed you since. Thank you for your honest, heartfelt reactions and for sharing it with us all. You helped create a nice little community where people dont have to shy away from how this show makes them feel and That was only possible because of YOU. No matter what anyone else says, you're awesome. You're a beautiful individual that i cant wait to continue following into Volume 5. :)
Really? She was your first reactor that you watched? I didn't even hear about her until Portal64's VYTALCast! She's become my favorite reactor along with MurderofBirds! They just seem to have that passion that no other reactor has!
You summed up this episode so well and it was something I felt but could not put into words but you definitely are right this episode is the epitome of Hope, and was everything I wanted, even some that I didn't know I wanted or needed like Ruby's letter saying that they are fighting for those they haven't lost resonated within me and so has this series as a whole. I am amazed at how powerful art can be and that is for sure what this series is, art that is so powerful that it ignites feelings that I normally don't show and that is so special. I also love your reactions because you share how the series has impacted you and how powerful this work of art is to you, and that makes these videos so much more meaningful than any others because it reiterates how powerful art is and provokes thought on my part and one thing I love is having something that makes me use my mind to think and ponder and the series and your reactions as well both do such an amazing job at it and I am happy about that.
