RWBY Volume 9 Chapter 3 Reaction - The Royal Red Prince 

YOOOOO! I was not expecting you to have left a comment on that "performance" XD Thanks for the vote of confidence, Casey! I'm so happy to see you and your bandmates working on the music for the show, and the one that KILLED THAT INTRO was YOU! I'm sure your old man is enjoying his retirement knowing that you're taking up the helm! Enjoy the process and keep kicking ass! Love you!

@@MurderofBirds Don't ever stop singing the intros, please. :D

@@Atlessa yeah that was great ps casey you are great singer you are only us singer I like and with really great voice If you did english covers of japanese songs you would be unstoppable

Holy! Casey herself! When the singer herself gives you props, you win Arnold.

Arnold fr ate up that intro like goddam💪

YES! ALL OF THE YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAID! I LOVE THE RED PRINCE'S DESIGN, VOICE ACTING AND MANNERISMS!

I’ve got a new game for the li’l prig, it’s called “ Rochambeau“ (South Park style) 😂

Weiss literally said "Excuse me?" At him 🤣🤣

I also like the fact that Weiss is so annoyed may be a reference to the fact that in CHESS it's historically Red vs WHITE. The Red Prince is literally the antithesis of who Weiss is NOW.

Weiss has had a myriad of expressions and minor facial/body language that's made every second of her onscreen an absolute gem

True

Haha! I thought it'd be a surprise for some. Thanks!

Reminded me of David Bowie ,he played the instruments in his songs.

Especially since it takes less time (and probably less Aura?) to do a partial summon. She's learning from how long it took to summon the Arma Gigas against Vernal, which left her vulnerable and resulted in losing her Aura and getting impaled. And trying to summon the full Nevermore in Volume 8 also failed because it took too much time and the Centinnels destroyed it.

Weiss = Spice: Technically, she summoned the arm of the knight to wield the sword. I think this was because she was still unable to do a full summon - even though she may have intended to - and so could only manage part of one. This summon here is like an expert deliberately choosing an aspect of her semblance on which to focus. Let's look at it in terms of using spices in cooking: A novice chef (Weiss: Volume 3) may not have access to a full spice rack, or may not have familiarity with all the spices they do have, so they may underseason their food. They may prepare it well otherwise, but it could be a bit bland. As the chef gains experience (Weiss: Volume 4-8), they learn to use all of the spices at their disposal, and will experiment with various combinations to find out what they like, but will often use too many. Their food will improve, but may lack the subtle touch of a master, having too many or conflicting combinations of flavors. A master chef (Weiss: Volume 9) will have learned that less is more - and instead of using 7-8 different spices in a dish, may only use 2 or 3, learning to correctly compliment the food with the best flavoring available.

The difference between her summoning just parts of her summons when she first started, and now is now she has full control and doing it on purpose. I think her doing the partial summons back in volume 3 was because that's all she could do. In my honest opinion, Weiss is surpassing Winter in how creatively she uses both gliffs and summons. Perhaps it's because Winter's military stiffness and concern with doing things the proper way stifles creatively. Weiss going to Beacon and meeting Ruby, Yang and Blake was the best thing for her growth.

@@Neekazan Exactly, and I believe the fact that going to Beacon led to her growth is why she can use the Arma Gigas. We learn in the manga that was made by Shirow Miwa that the reason Weiss had to fight the Arma Gigas in the first place is because Jacques didn't want her to go to Beacon. She was training one day and argued with his secretary about it, so the secretary followed Jacques' order to make her fight the Arma Gigas if she insisted on Beacon. She was told that if she could defeat it, he would finally let her. But she was also told that this particular machine had had "possession-type Grimm" put in it by scientists and that it was a lot more powerful than the original, which led her to reply "So you're basically saying I don't stand a chance." She wasn't at 100% because she had already been fighting, so she was at a disadvantage, and she still pushed herself to the point of getting a scar over her eye just to defeat it and go to Beacon instead of Atlas Academy. It should be noted that this chapter came out before the writers revealed in the Volume 4 directors commentary that the Arma Gigas _was_ possessed by a Geist Grimm. In Volume 3, Winter told Weiss to think about defeated enemies who caused her to push past who she was and become who she is now. That is why her summons are the Arma Gigas, the Boarbatusk, the Nevermore, and the Queen Lancer. Four battles that set off domino effects that led her to grow as a person.

@@jasonwinterboer5232 I love this comparison.

Thank you, I really appreciate the kind words! I'm no professional singer and I know singing the intro every week can come across as childish or cringe to some people, but I just enjoy having fun, not taking myself too seriously, and giving the people what they want LOL.

@@MurderofBirdsreact to death central kill counts my favorite is maximum overdrive 1986

@@MurderofBirds Yeah right, and exactly because of that it doesn't come across as cringe at all. Animated Content is entertainment, not having fun would just be 'consuming it wrong'.

@@MurderofBirds it's not cringe in the slightest! When I watch you sing the intro's volume to volume, I see someone who not only thoroughly enjoys what they are doing, but someone whose love and passion for the show cannot be contained. Anyone who sees that in a negative aspect should take a deep look at themselves in the mirror.

Woo Haa‼️ Every body else said I was Nobody, now I’m “some people“ 😁

She does say it herself in RWBY Chibi

She's an actual Snow Angel now.

Wait till you see the next one o.o all i will say it's weird

SAME!!! Where is my spirit animal within Remnant?!

She kind of has to move away from the melee. She’s a fencer. Fencing as a martial art is designed for focusing on only one opponent who is also wielding a sword. She’s not dealing with Grimm anymore, but rather sentient enemies that can think and plan. She’s got to rely on glyphs because her fighting style is suited to either Grimm, or other Huntsmen.

In the painting in the OP you see Alyx with her back to a mirror, in that mirror there is a silhouette of an older woman. If we take that to be an older Alyx then it is probably only decades. Of course in Through the Looking Glass there were a lot of time distortion shenanigans so anything is possible.

How does it feel, seeing into the future

Omg I didn't even think of that lol

😂good one

...Really?

High five

I'm more aligned with it being the Nevermore wings because we at least saw her attempt to summon the entire thing back during Volume 8 during the Schnee Manor scene at the generator before it was destroyed by the Cenitaur grimm.

Also, Nevermore wings shoot feathers.

Thank you so much!

Wait so she manifested her current appearance with the umbrella as a child and then grew into it or?

​@@msnavy97 neo was her imaginary friend, at first only she could see and FEEL her but as she got older it evolved so others could see her too and she could actually do things in the world. after an incident at 18 (no spoilers) she kinda just grew. into what was originally just her imaginary friend

It was bothering me that I couldn't get all the lyrics in one take, at least not seamlessly, so I put a bit of extra effort in this time around!

@@MurderofBirds oh trust me you did an amazing job, keep it up!

Better late than never lol :)

Thanks! :)

In episode two, one of the toy soldiers said that "somebody's sad" because it was raining. So I doubt only humans can affect the environment with their emotions.

Yeah, I think her Semblance evolved like Ren's. It seems that intense emotional stress can cause it. They've shown for a long time now that emotions can affect Semblances, especially negative emotions. Yang has had a tendency since the beginning to accidentally activate her Semblance when she's angry. She's not always angry when she uses her Semblance, but her anger tends to at least partially activate it by accident. For example, the Volume 2 episode where she told Blake about her mom, you can hear flames when she angrily turns around with her eyes having turned red. Pyrrha accidentally slammed Jaune against a wall with her Semblance when she was emotionally distraught. Ren activated his Semblance for the very first time while terrified and crying. His Semblance later evolved when he was dealing with a torrent of emotional strife and then became angry when Harriet talked about replacing dead teammates and moving on. Jaune slightly activated his Semblance for the first time while defending his friends from Cardin, then fully activated it while trying to save Weiss after Cinder intentionally drew parallels to Pyrrha's death with attacking Weiss and implying that Jaune will once again fail to save someone he cares about. Weiss' very first successful partial summon was when she was pissed off about Jacques, though I don't think she noticed the tiny sword she had summoned. Winter even told her that emotions can give strength. She summoned the Arma Gigas arm later in Volume 3 when she was afraid for Velvet and rushing to try to help protect her. She accidentally summoned a Boarbatusk during the Schnee Charity Ball because she was pissed off at Jacques. Neo is currently furious, not just because she failed to kill Ruby, but also because Cinder has once again screwed her over, hence her transforming into both Ruby and Cinder before her clones manifested.

As benefitting an E Escher layout where perspective is inherently distorted.

It's a tradition at this point, I just needed a couple episodes to prepare!

Pretty sure it was confirmed that since the average civilian doesn't have an awakened Aura, they either died to the initial explosions from Cinder or would've died from the fall.

Thank you! I appreciate that! :)

You know I had to do it to em'

Most likely, Crescent Rose lies on the far side of that tropical beach-like island. I’d like to think Team RWBY will visit a few, if not most of the areas before making a stop at the first island then finally towards the tree.

@@BmanRockhart I mean tbh, we didn't see any of the other places in the trailer or teaser but according to those two, Team RWBY seems to spend the most time in the mushroom area. I don't think we'll really see the other ones. Neo might go to one of them though, but again we didn't see any of the other places as even just backgrounds in the trailer and teaser so I doubt it.

Could be anywhere. The teaser where we saw it land on the beach might not have been literal, or it might have been moved.

I’m kind of guessing she’ll end up with a new weapon.

@@nioviiosif5134 Don't forget that the RWBY volume trailers tend to only show the first 4 episodes, sometimes with a sprinkle of the 5th. We haven't seen anything from episodes 6-10.

LMFAO XD

*beard, now it's fixed XD

Also, I got this No Game, No Life sence of this

The Relic of Destruction or Choice?!? Hmmm..... You might be on to something. 😎🙏🏿🌹

@@lorenzoteague8445 it'd be the relic of choice, if I'm remembering correctly. I'm pretty sure the sword is the relic of destruction.

@@fullmetal_3961 I think you're right!! 😎👍🏿🌹
