RWBY Volume 6 Chapter 3 Reaction - OH MY LORE!!! 

Salem's goal: to die. Honestly! She is trying to divide humanity so they are divided, and bring the relics together to bring the Gods back so that they will see mankind is divided and are not redeemable and thus they will destroy the world. The god of light said as long as the world turns, she will live. So if she gets them to destroy the world she will finally die. That's just my theory.

Hey Could Jaune be a Part of Ozma/Ozpin as well as Salem since we have NEVER seen the Arc family and why Tyrian has some notice for him or could he be Ozpin's next Host? And if that's true for either what do you think would happen? I believe that Jaune will be needed for either of them since NPR don't know the truth since they separated from the others i wonder what will happen but i truly wish Jaune will be in a greater role then the Goofy Knight out for revenge who knows maybe just maybe he becomes a Grimm we shall see if your reading this thank you and i enjoy your live streams and can't wait for the next one Peace!

You forgot to put a "Headphone users Beware" in the title. By the way, I am also amazed that your voice has not been lost by now. Lol.

Hey, love the Volume 6 poster! Looks really good!

@@walterhellsing3399 personally I think Jaune will be the one to kill salem. When Ozpin asked jennie how to destroy salem she said it was impossible - but that was before this generation was born. If his semblance is to channel his aura and summon the pond of youth, that may be what's necessary to defeat the pools of darkness. Otherwise I saw the deliberate question "destroy" not "beat" salem or "defeat". I'm wondering why he didn't ask "how do I make salem see the light?"

Lol so true

HAHAHA

Lol best comment

Omg that is perfect.

the fact that I liked this and made it 69 is just

This reference... Boy if you don't take in any and all RWBY content, this one might fly over your head.

the flirting was quite peaceful. the breakup on the other hand....

Was NOT that peaceful

@@Yal_Rathol Made Qrow and Winter's bickering look like a tickle fight.

Ozpin should name himself as the god of hypocrisy.

Immediately what I thought when I saw the brothers as Dragons, and they also support each other in that sense as well; Destruction allows for Creation to spawn new life to populate, which in turn allows Destruction to take away the withered life and open niches. This equilibrium between the two shapes the life that lives in the world they created to be almost eternal, with too much of either being the end of it all. The planet was an empty canvas for them to fill, and while the God of Light created the Plants and the Animals, the God of Darkness out of spite made the monsters which destroy it all. Their final creation, Man, can walk the path of either Light and Dark, tipping the Equilibrium in either side of the spectrum. I also kinda feel bad for the God of Darkness, as living things like us are naturally drawn to the light and fear the dark, even though he also created humanity, and the first human to pray to him was only there to use him. You can tell he was eager to show that he was just as deserving of humanity's love as his brother, even if it meant bending the rules that they agreed upon.

Im impressed tbh

@C Sylve reread that. She said exactly what you just said. And expanded on it both more eloquently and clarified that both had the capacity to dip into the powers of the other. As the god of darkness said "you may bask in the powers of creation, but you do not own them."

Agreed

Rustymcnut I am pissy that, in their infinite wisdom, they didn’t see Salem lashing out and turning humanity against them coming. Seriously, why do immortal beings never realize these kinds of punishments only give humans the ability to find a way to seek revenge?

Dragon’s Touch They say in the show that the gods are fallible, they’re not omniscient. They go through trial and error when making worlds and even just gave up on Remnant to go restart on another one and learn from their mistakes in the previous ones

Rustymcnut I liked the God of Darkness as well, he seems simply misunderstood. Sure he made the Grimm, but it looked like he kept them near his domain and didn’t make them attack Salem. He learned from when he made the Grimm and that will make him more interesting if he returns later

Darkness does not mean evil, just as light does not mean good. The light can burn you with its brightness just as easily as darkness can soothe.

...this is Thanos' favorite comedy show 😉

Or Cry

Or both.

Well you cant ask the relic because it cant tell you events that haven’t happened yet

Well technically it already happened since he did record his reaction before uploading it though. We simply can't watch it yet.

Haha! Nice one!

Yeah I get the feeling that's why GoL came back to Ozpin.

@@arcadius2569 I thought so as well, but... God of Death: Kills everyone in the world and blows up the moon. God of Life: Brings back one guy over and over again. Seeing a little imbalance here, maybe?

@@Mystrohan Yeah but that means the GoL is having a continuous effect on this world whereas the GoD doesn't (except through Salem and the Destruction pools, but that is not from his direct actions). GoL is influencing a world without collaboration from GoD (at least from what we know, they may have agreed on Ozpin coming back but it doesn't seem like it). Besides, without the Gods ruling that world, their balance doesn't really apply until they are summoned. The God's balance comes and goes when they do.

@@arcadius2569 It's possible the GoL acted unilaterally when he brought Ozma back. However, I'm not sure - that would mean that if and when they get summoned back, GoL will have some very fast and awkward talking to do. And I would definitely argue the Grimm are a continuing effect. I agree that balance probably doesn't apply - to preserve balance, the best choice would have been to remove Salem from the equation instead of bringing Ozpin back.

@@Mystrohan ​ I'm really not sure. GoL, when speaking to Ozpin, throws his brother under the bus (''at the hands of my brother'') and offered the chance of redemption himself, using only 'I'. But that could be because maybe only GoL is capable of creating recurring life at that level. After he uses 'we' when talking to Ozpin. All in all, for now I'm going to assume they worked together in reaching a decision that they are very much both affected by (the relics summoning them). I just need a bit more clarification on what the brothers want for humanity and remnant. What they wanted when they gave Ozpin reincarnation. They destroy it, leave it, and then come back for it. And it's not for humanity to grow without their interference because Salem, Ozpin, and the relics exist. I would say that Ozpin and Salem inherited the God's balance but Salem has always been more powerful (at least as far as I know, how Ozpin managed to start combat schools without her destroying them, I have no idea, except for maybe the silver eye warriors).

Lmao

*death in the worst way possible you mean

Oh, but Salem leaned from her past. She learned how easy it is to divide humanity and conquer them.

Oh Yeah you’re right

Yea exactly i thought then the God of Light is the bad one

They're not Good and Evil, they're Light and Darkness. So I'd say it's Lawful Neutral and Chaotic Neutral for each of their domains.

Jabu Decapricornio Just like all my d&d characters

Good and evil are human constructs, meaningless to such godlike entities. Even trying to say 'neutral' doesn't really work since it implies some kind of middle ground, but these guys exist outside of our morality system entirely. Humans are like an anthill in their backyard. Light just wants to build with his blocks, and Darkness likes to knock them down. If the blocks fall and crush some ants, neither of them care. Why would they? Maybe they'll sometimes feed the ants just to watch them scurry around, but even that is nothing more than idle curiosity. When the ants start to bite, they poison the whole colony to get rid of them and move on to something else. At no point does whatever the ants consider to be 'good' or 'evil' or 'lawful' enter the equation. Such things are beneath their concern.

@@DigitalSoul247 YES THANK YOU!!! Exactly what I've been trying to tell ppl but you used a much better analogy!

I mean, he is called murderer.

Confirmed GoD haha god of darkness could beat Thanos

@@deadbeatparent4229 Or Galeem in Ultimate

he is surprisingly reasonable

He is reasonable. You put down dogs that hurt people right? That’s what humanity was to them.

I wonder how Salem feels about the moon I mean it a constant reminder of how she was curse with all this.

More like, the God of darkness throwing a temper tantrum and slamming the door. 😂

The power of questions, my dude, the power of questions

Very mature of you Ruby you’ve really grown up sense volume 1

It was the last slap in the face from God of Darkness, letting Salem know how her actions ruined the world...by literally throwing METEORS at it.

The question he should of asked was, "is there a way to defeat Salem". I is too specific.

Nah nah, if you ask that it's a yes or no question. There doesn't seem to be a real question to know how to deal with her it seems. It's real tricky...

Here’s an alternative question: “How can Salem be defeated?”

Ozma : Oh fuck

@@jedimercenary609 Exactly. I think he just asked the wrong question. There is no way to kill or destroy Salem, but there might be a way that she can be defeated without her dying.

Thats what I been thinking

Makes more sense than them being the original Maidens.

But his daughters are from him and Salem, and they had magic evident by the daughter in blue, whose to say their curses of immortality can't be passed down, more lenient towards Oz's if going by the Maiden Heritage hazy rules. Why didn't Oz or Salem know? Well, how could they? If the implication of all four of them dying is indeed true, that would be that - to them they were dead, until Ozpin found their reincarnations and helped refine their 'gifts' or 'curses', depending on the person's view, as they called it, and Salem didn't know until later and kindled her sense of betrayal. If the Maiden's did reincarnate, how come they didn't look for their parents? If Ozpin's first reincarnation was anything to go on, perhaps its a more lesser degree than that: instead of past memories, its likely just their powers. Or, they don't remember anything and they are something of a brain-dead souls used like a weapon when attached to different aura's, or perhaps when Ozpin said 'Maidens choose themselves' its implying they only have a weak conscience enough to pick the next host, if there wasn't a chosen inheritor by the current host. Given they all died as children, thus didn't flesh out their powers or whatever is causing this pseudo-reincarnation. Since the powers are transferred through aura, its possible that because they died so young it could be something like adding an electric current to metal - flexible and powerful but not particularly solid, in a sense, something that could be added to something with ease. Cruel, but Ozpin's and Salem's fates were cruel already. And, food for thought: The reason why Salem can't be destroyed: Its possible that she's now too closely tied to Remnant, a force of nature. In a sense she is death in a way, symbolized by her affinity with Grimm, or if she and Ozpin together in the air before a crowd with auras representative of the two brothers symbolized anything, she is now Remnant's modern God of Darkness as Ozpin is, in a way, the modern God of Light, symbolically, anyway. Albeit, without the harmony of the proper Gods. Buuut: "What - but that one World of Remnant Episode!" As said in the reaction, or the general conveyance: "THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!" My words: Its a fairy tale within Remnant, and volume 3 was pretty much the reveal that not everything was as thought to be right as before. Lengthy, but, just tossing my thoughts out.

@@skarmenh9 Hit or Miss SHE KILLED THE FUCKIN KIDS

@@skarmenh9 We already know the Maidens origin told at least twice already. The story told by Ozpin with the color tinted characters explaining the 'waiting for my sisters' version and Ozpin/Oscar explaining Qrow/Raven being able to turn into birds and the maidens in V5/C7.

I see him visually jumping around like a child and being so like "what the fucc RT!" When Salem does a seppuku.

Silent Moonlight I’m already dead

I hear him screaming in my head while I watch the episode

Unorthodox Individual same.

wow, very true. I think Ozma doesn't know what lesson the gods wanna Salem to learn, and he only see the destructive side of Salem.

Save Salem yes

Exactly....it’s not about destroying her. It never was. She needs to learn her lesson, and be redeemed in order to break her curse. Only then will the conflict end.

Nah, she a monster

@@motivated2473 the gods laid it out clear, if she doesn’t learn the importance of life and death she will walk this world so long as it turns only when she learns that lesson may she rest. She wants the relics so that the world will be destroyed and she can rest, all they have to do is teach her that lesson and she gets what she wants

Dragster9127 Salem and Ozpin’s cursed reminds me of Meliodas and Elizabeth’s cursed

Because the Gods of Remnant also made mosquitos. Because healing magic apparently didn't exist in pre-Remnant Remnant. Because Ozma didn't have free healthcare. Various reasons, really.

Honestly I was extremely disappointed in V5, to the point where I was probably going to drop the series. Not everything is 100% there yet, but by Volume 6 chap 2 I was back on the hype and chap 3 fully reignited my love of rwby. I really think that Miles and Kerry deserve a pat on the back for this episode.

@@jeremycole2164 Couldn't agree more! By the end of this ep i was honestly in awe. The crew did a great job, they gotta keep it up while the iron is hot.

@@michaelscott1702 I know payoff and more, and still leaves us with things to ponder and learn later on such as how the new wave of humanity began and their "abilities" (dust,aura,semblances,maiden powers and silver eyes).

Also, say what you will about Miles and Kerry's writing, but their foreshadowing kicks ass. Back in Volume 1: "Man born from Dust" in reference to the second time mankind came into being. "We are but Remnants of a forgotten past" in reference to Salem and Ozpin being from before Remnant was created. Volume 3: "The Grimm dragon is a hint as to how Grimm are made" in reference to the God of Darkness, who made the Grimm, being able to turn into a dragon. "The girl in the tower" in reference to this episode and episode 2. Those two certainly love to play the long game with foreshadowing.

@@thebeavpercabethftw9604 I would be lying if I said that in this single chapter that it didn't redeem all of the missteps Vol 5.

Given "man, born from dust" from Salem's opening monologue back in volume 1, I'd say that's pretty likely

That's pretty metal

@@EpicDDT21 FullMetal RWBY?

So dust is like magical fossil fuel?

Yep!

i would watch them if it wasnt just so loud. an occasional outburst isnt bad but when someones like oh look at rubys new hairstyle and he's like AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! thats when i just back out lol like i said he doesnt seem like a bad guy tho, just loud

Suddenly i may fall seems like salems song

I enjoy this music

I kept reading them same lyrics and I thought of something. When salem failed, the god of darkness destroyed some of the moon. So...what if opzin fails, will the god of destruction destroys It and if It continues and the moon is gone or shattered, they might all die.

"Bring it all it's not enought to take me down". Suddenly all songs are now about Salem

@@manuerre.5613 Songception? Salemception?

Tbh 😂

Yo same man

parker maisterra lol I’m broke

Yo same here lol

XD

Demaunix Animations Vexxed is my boy! I love his videos.

wait, so MurderofBirds is a hypocrite and a jerk?

But, can Chthonic gods age? Because, while Salem stays young and can't be killed permanently, like Olympic gods, Ozpin still ages in each of his reincarnations.

Yes.

Makes me wonder just how affected she was by the simple act of existing whilst every human died around her like fruit flies. Even before her Grimm fate, she'd have probably gotten good and desensitized to suffering, death and killing.

@Undying_LonelySoul I see Salem as another example of what immortality can do to a person based on the circumstances, drives and the individual. Let's look at Salem, as well as DC's Vandal Savage and General Immortus. Salem wanted freedom from those who had power over her. Vandal wanted to rule because he was stronger than others. Immortus wanted to conquer everything before he died. Give immortality to the latter two and they'll lose what humanizing traits they in a power drunk frenzy. Give immortality to a woman who wants to be free of the burden of living with her losses? I'd be surprised if Salem doesn't still want to die a little on the inside.

thebeav PercabethFTW Oh shit! Talk about duality

I thought Salem screamed out NOOOO!

That is the way to defeat her. Make her realise the importance of life and death

Salem is corrupted by grimm,unless its seperated from her she cant be stopped,thats where ruby comes in.

Mick_ Gaming Even when Salem was human she couldn’t be stopped. She was made immortal because she didn’t understand life and death. Salem tried suicide and that didn’t work. During her scheme of turning the humans against the Gods, she had many men try to kill her to prove that she was gifted by these Gods but did she die after being struck down countless times, no. Literally no one can stop Salem, only herself. Salem was immortal before she was corrupted. She fell down into the pool because she thought it would end her suffering since the pool of life gave her immortality but it only made her worse. Even if you separate the Grimm corruption from Salem, she’s still immortal.

@@alliyhavilla3904 im saying salem wont understand life and death if shes corrupted by grimm so im thinking ruby with the power of silver eyes will kill the grimm without killing salem and its up to ozpin to get through to her.

Mick_ Gaming Salem didn’t understand the life and death cycle even when she was human, even before the corruption. I do believe that Ozpin will have some way of getting through to Salem since they had a romantic past. But Ruby is still 14/15. She’s still training and she barely even knows anything about her power. Ozpin sent thousands of people to their death, that includes Summer Rose. Summer (I assume) was an expert huntress by the way Yang talked about her. Salem killed Summer even when Summer has the silver eyes. You can send Ruby to Salem and in the end Ruby will die. It doesn’t matter if a character has some power, NOBODY can kill Salem. And maybe Ozpin can get through to Salem but it’s up to Salem to decide. Just because she’s half Grimm half human doesn’t mean that if you take the Grimm away Salem will be stopped. She’ll just probs be the older version which is her human self but still immortal. It’s literally all up to Salem to decide.

He always rewatches everything he reacts to afterwards. If he sat there listening quietly to the video his reactions would be boring to watch

Wow, before this episode came I had a theory that Oz's name was originally Monty... I can't believe I never made this connection before.

Pretty much. XD

Trey 😂

That nigga said "You don't want the smoke."

Trey “This planet empty! *YEET*”

He yeeted right into the moon.

lmao

God of Death be like "Uuh.. Whoops.."

It was Ozmar who destroyed their family. Instead of trying to talk with Salem and convince her that genocide isn't good he just ran like a little bitch. I understand why Salem was super pissed about that.

RWBY: future Avatar confirmed

I love this so much. You can practically *hear* Sokka screaming it.

That moment when you realize that The Brothers might be on a higher plane compared to the Olympian pantheon (and be acquainted with them, too)

Pretty much

Best comment ever.. ........ ...... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Well think about it, both humans are technically immortal while one bares the power of darkness, while the other bares the power of light.... and the gods leave. Technically, once the humans returned life became no different then it was before the eradication happened. A light god, and a dark god and humanity. The only difference now is the two gods are fighting one another.

There is not balance because the god of light is a petty asshole that could just say: "you know, you can be with him when you die and if you want I may let you be reincarnated with Ozma till the end of time" but that way we wouldn't have RWBY today :P

As far as I can tell from what we've seen so far, the "balance" is just a set of rules to keep the gods from fighting each other again, and doesn't have any sort of universal importance. So the god of light is kind of an asshole

Eric Smith if she went to the god of darkness first there would been no mutual agreement to restore order. Because her scam was the only reason Dark brother cooled down lol

I don't think the gods were united in their decision. The God of Light completely blamed the God of Darkness for destroying humanity. But then he was like: "Yo Ozma, here's all the tools you need to reunite humanity and achieve harmony. We're gonna go give it a try with some alien squid species in another realm. Peace". The God of Darkness broke the moon as a reminder of Salem's mistakes because he's a dick.

Woah dude

Dude, that's fuckin great

Nataniel Klarić Is it bad that I read this like the “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”?

@@CrazyTaxiPlayer Nope not at all I thought that's where it was going

I saw this on an Eruption Fang video

Wow. That's cool.

Loophole More like the key to disable the curse. However, she didnt want to understand the balance of life and death And after falling onto the pool of darkness Is then, where she will never want to understand life and death, as Jinn said " This force of pure destruction could not destroy a being of infinite life. Instead, it ceated a being of infinite life with a *desire* of *pure destruction* "

Fault of salem

I love this kind of loopholes, JK Rowling would be proud.

I agree, Ozpin asked a personalized question "How can I destroy Salem?" rather than "How can Salem be destroyed?". If Ozpin had asked the second question, it's likely he would have gotten a more concrete answer.

@@Kamizhou But if he asked the second question she would probably said she can be destroyed only by gods

I was thinking that too. Oz cannot destroy Salem, but that doesn't mean there isn't a way to destroy her. Or at least break her curse.

@@mindecon8084 True true. But that's still an answer that could be reached, I think Ozpin has the same idea by now which is why he's hunting the relics. To summon the Gods get them to destroy Salem. Only problem here is that humanity is still divided and fighting amongst themselves, meaning Ozpin has failed the task the God of Light set him.

"We haven't had this quality of writing since Volume 3." That's just straight up false.

@@MRocky323, for you maybe. But for the most of the viewers it was.

@@xyon9090 I agree volume 4 was ok, volume 5 was super jumbled volume 6 they got their footing back.

@@xyon9090 Hardly think you can speak for most of the viewers.

@@curtismurphy6206, you can go ahead and look at forums before Volume 6, the comment section of the episodes before Volume 6 in RU-vid, and in the groups on Social Media platform like Facebook and you can estimate the majority of the fandom have the same thought as mine. Actually, they're the first ones to raise this opinion and lots of people agreed.

Hazel tried too.

Hih, one of my rwby reactor reacting to another rwby reactor. RWBY-Reactception.

I think the pool of destruction also made Salem a little trigger happy. If she'd stuck with gentler methods, Ozma might not have decided to gtfo

I'm with you on everything until she let the kids die as collateral damage. But I still love her.

Also maybe if ozma had ever objected to her methods and talked it out with her. She literally started walking that path thinking its what he wanted and then he grabs their kids and leaves. In spite of her Destruction addled thinking, I think he could have made a big difference in her behavior if he had tried.

@TheDyingLight Yeah, I can see Salem thinking Ozma had betrayed her, the one person she once trusted more than life itself. And after his death, she was completely alone, and unloved. And I think she cursed the gods even more for toying with Ozma's life, tearing them apart yet again. Though she's made horrific choices which led her to become the twisted madwoman she is in the present day, I do feel sorry for her, for this wasn't at all what she wanted in the first place.

Yes the old romance trope of not listening to each other.

But Donkey did get the Iron Cross and an honorable discharge.

The ginger bread man sadly passed though when Salem got hungry

Omg guys-spoilers!!!1!

I kinda liked Prince Charming's death scene, though. Just whaled on by artillery HE called in. Karma.

Puss gain more weight when he was in Shrek forever after.

Ra'Sham Dickson I agree, the gods, Oz & Salem were all correct in their views. Her life wasn’t fair, especially losing Oz so soon after freedom, but the gods were right about the balance. (Yet If they took the time to see what Salem’s past was, they’d have not tortured her or unfairly wipe out humanity.)

No

Yup

mostly our ear/head phones

Agreed

my question is: Can salem be changed/cured from the corruption she put herself in to?

NiNo Warrior I assume she can be changed back because the pool of darkness that changed her is not an immortal power like her immortality. I am guessing either the silver eyes that ruby has powered by jaunes semblance will be strong enough to cleanse her of the pool of darkness.

i don't know...i doubt that silver will do something against her, her grimm corruption, maybe, but to her personally, yeah, she's not all darkness, she still have her magic.

NiNo Warrior yeah that’s what I meant silver eyes won’t kill her but it can remove the Grimm corruption from making her somewhat reasonable again and this time ozpin would be there when she is back to human form. Might be the only way to save/beat her

I doubt silver eyes would cleanse the corruption caused by a force of limitless destruction - that power was the God of Darkness' equivalent of the God of Light's pool that rendered her immortal. I'm almost certain that defeating Salem won't be in destroying or cleansing her of the Grimm element, but rather in redeeming her in the manner specified by the God of Light - "You must learn the importance of life and death, only then may you rest." The key to defeating Salem will be in finding a way to impart that lesson, making her mortal as per the definition of her curse.

We'll find out in the next episode. Well, today's, but next week for me. ;-;

*young black man's voice:* "DAMMMMMNNNNNN!"

Weiss's facial reaction was interesting to me, Ruby was just in shock but she has been the kid in the room when the parents snap at each other and while subtil you can see it on her face.

According to the shippers, "I'd tap that too."

I think they WERE the maidens.

@@brianbrush5107 Then the whole maiden story was fake then?

@@AdachiChocolate I think it was just an interpretation of the actual story.

I think it makes sense that the kids are the maidens also because they reincarnate like Oz while having magic powers.

Maybe Ruby can with her eyes? Salem is part Grimm now.

BigBruthaH Not to mention “Hey, this naïve woman who’s blinded by grief and love played a trick on us. Guess we should make it so she can never be with her true love ever again, that’s fair right? Wait.... why is she waging war on us?”

The Gift of Choice i.e Free Will does not exclude you from the consequences of the choices you make. Humanity decided to attack the Gods out of their own free will and paid the price for it. This is after all, just an experiment for the Gods.

@@ARKNet9000 I agree. People try to give the gods the moral compass of a human. They are gods you can't judge their actions as you would for a human.

They have choice, and consequences for their choices.

#3 seems more likely the result, but is being wiped from existence itself the same as passing away to the afterlife?

@@remnantryku7112 Did any of her friends and family get.an afterlife after what the dark brother did? What about the members of the originals who were already dead? Did they even get to keep theirs?

​@@remnantryku7112 I'm fairly certain that there is an afterlife for those people. Remember that Ozpin was resurrected from something very similar, targeted at one person when the dark brother (or Kage, as I named him long before he ever became a thing) tried to "correct his mistake". I don't believe they would go so far as to destroy the very souls or afterlife of the people who got snapped, though I have no doubt they could if they wanted.

@@Vales55 To be fair, if she had any other family, I kind of doubt her cruel father would have kept her locked away so easily. Judging how quickly she chose to leave given the chance, I doubt she had any that mattered to her, apart from her children later on. Come to think of it, I doubt she would have ever been able to make any friends or really known any family apart from the father since she was locked away. Honestly the only friend she ever had was Ozma, which would logically make her even more desperate to bring him back.

I vote for the Salem wants to die

Well, it would've been impossible for the P in JNPR to see the origin story.

@@thebeavpercabethftw9604 lol tru

@ForeverDull Nora- "Soooo.... you saved her from a castle and just died on her.. WORST. STORY. EVER."

Oh I've seen it.

@@Atlessa There's a Necromancer here!

1 - So, the story of the seasons is just a story? and what Ozpin/Oscar said to everyone about powers 2 - i have a small theory about the colored eyes, and i declared that silver eyes means life.....and death 3 - So you're saying that there could be more dust in the moon, are those dust...moon dust? is dust limited on remnant? 4 - Maybe so, quite possibly 5 - Salem said: Man born from dust, so...rebirth by Science? and that could be explanation of the faunus origin.

on the first thing either puns of damage or someone in the coments there had the theory that the old man reincarnation we saw did grant power to four young women that reminded him of his dead daughters.

@@ronglurak9892 I saw that, it's also a good theory. What I've put are ideas that seem likely, but unlike some folks I'm not determined to prove that they must be true. I like them as theories and I think they fit but I'd give them 1 in 2 chances of turning out to be what the show will reveal. That said I will defend them if someone has a _faulty_ argument against them.

@MiraculouslyMarvel Yeah, creepy. I'll stick with the moon theory though, It may be called dust but it seems to be large crystals naturally that can be broken down into smaller pieces and indeed - dust. There is no explanation for the dusty remains of people becoming massive crystals. The moon theory just makes more sense.

Salem wants it wiped to finally end her punishment because apparently she is incapable of learning her lesson

Brandon Overton I mean they did actually “learn” as the god of light said “we will from our failings” or something like that so who knows maybe they did and I agree that yes the gods are fucking dickbags but I still feel Salem has a part in this as the god of light is correct that Salem is selfish...kinda as she demanded the gods to revive ozma and manipulated the god of darkness to doing what she wants so in my opinion the gods were 65% at fault,Salem being 25% and Ozpin is 10% due to him running away from Salem and not trying to guide her away from the darkness

@@cynicalducky1041 Tbh god of darkness was willing anyway to break there deal since he could of said no if he really respected the deal

"the cause of which is literally his fault but he blames his brother when talking to Ozma" actually, i think he is talking about how his brother broke up the moon and let the pieces of it fall to the planet.

@@cynicalducky1041 Well, I mean humans are selfish by nature. Well naturally have all of our decisions being based off what we deem are good for us and others, and Salem did just that. Now, of course let's say she went to the god of darkness first and got Ozma back. How would the story change?

@@adriannaa545 More and more people would just come to the Gods to ask the same thing and a next Salem might be created when they are rejected. It would open an unending demand.

nah, they didn't turn into statues.

The silver eyes can only freeze the Grimm and then I think they can be destroyed or maybe I’m wrong

@@kelanbaron7485 spoilers You are wrong

Spoilers You are right

@@thenintenbro7154 Called it a month early! I'm a legend!

We don't know that. It could also be the shards of the broken moon or some other natural resource that developed between the gods leaving and humanity's take two.

Watch volume 1, chapter 1 again.

"Man born from Dust" By the sounds of things, the original iteration of humans are similar to the concept of the original "Golden Race" in Greek Mythology. The destruction of the Golden Race served as the foundation for the new humans. It makes sense that since humans lack the blessing of the Gods to use magic they draw upon the remains of the previous humans that could. Using their destroyed bodies mined from the ground like the fossils of long dead creatures we use in our own world for fossil fuel.

Yea poor ozpin :(

I want to kiss salem now

Here's the thing - Ozpin keeps leading these people on a crusade to defeat Salem, risking their lives, getting them killed, when he knows it's impossible to win. That's clearly the big secret he didn't want anyone to know.

@@SeraphArmaros well, The mom of the last year was right

yup sad story :(

Golden

Take the incredibly lengthy credits out of the equation, as they serve no purpose, and this chapter is technically the longest in the series to date.

Damn. So, you were at least partially right with your theory.

Hey Liam! Enjoyed your reaction to!

Luiz Felipe well I think there's a difference between thinking they are dicks (which they are) and hating the writing like you can hate character and still acknowledge they are interesting and well written

People are going too hard in hating the character and forgeting the narrative. Wich makes me a bit sad since i think that this is the best we got since volume 3. Back in vol.3 i remember getting all confused saying: ''What the hell am i watching? Is this really RWBY?'' and acknowledging that it was just the tone was different, vol 4 and 5 i had the same feeling but i could not say: ''Yes, this is RWBY.'' those last 2 years felt pretty weird to me. I'm so happy with this chapter that i'm not able to stop talking and texting about it, jesus...

Luiz Felipe idk I think its a sign of how much people are enjoying the episodes if they didn't care they wouldn't hate them they would just be bored or annoyed at them

same

Alright you two, let's pass the time. Poker or Blackjack? Or I got some campfire stories to tell.

Phineas & Ferb reference. Nice.

We’re staring and we’re glaring till our corneas burn

Its an avengers reference

Semblance and Magic are two different things to people in the show because that's how they know them. Magic is anything on the level of semblances one could do without the use of dust or their unique and relatively limited semblance. That's literally how they view magic. Semblances would be considered magic, if they weren't known as semblances. In my mind, humans were reintroduced to Remnant through evolution all over again or something. The god of light assured Ozma that humanity would return, and it leads me to believe he meant through natural causes, similar to the causes that initially brought about the first humans. I think the main thing Ozpin is trying to hide is the answer to his third question to Jinn. After the whole thing with Raven accusing Ozpin of sacrificing people to fight Salem (who she believes can't be beaten), the last thing Ozpin wants the people loyal to him knowing is that he can't beat Salem. If anything, Oz interpreted what Jinn said as, "I need to get someone else to do it, but who?" Therefore creating yet another motive for him to create the huntsman academies as King of Vale. Also, he may have extremely conflicted feelings about Salem on the inside, and might not want anyone to know the relationship they had. Nothing really antagonized him, but I think he'd rather not let anyone know how long he's been trying and how increasingly futile it seems each time he tries.

It's really cool what they did with them visually.

Well the god of death, was so happy that someone came to visit him, but felt betrayed that Salem only came for a selfish favour. God of Life understood her pain, but felt betrayed that she didn't listen to him and nearly caused his brother to betray him, nearly causing a war between gods. Even then, they technically made her wish come true, with Ozmar/Ozpin coming back to life through other bodies, but instead of being grateful, she planned to replace them and massacre humans, and didn't consider Ozpin's feelings in the matter.

Arcadius 256 I kinda want the gods to come back, condemn humanity, only to be verbally beaten down by the crew who forces them to realize this is mostly their fault

All hail He-Who-Made-Dark!--- oops wrong universe

Qrow:I've dated worse

That's rough, buddy

my first girlfriend forgot she was in a relationship w/ me and (despite having told me hat she was a lesbian) started dating this one dude, THEN CAME UP TO ME TO HAVE A CASUAL CONVO ABOUT "HOW GREAT HE IS" I'm not bitter. I'm not

Definitely beats Sokka's "My girlfriend turned into the moon." XD

That's rough buddy
