I’m gonna make this simple and clear for everyone. Do not blame Yang, do not blame Blake, and don’t blame Jaune. Blaming others for the death of Ruby isn’t right. If anything, it’s Neo’s fault. And now she’s got a pussy inside her… that came out wrong. 😨
@@SonToshi_46 As much as people don't want to admit it. She could've done a lot better than we she has been doing in regards to caring for her sister. There have been moments where she done great. But just far too many that she's done awful. Neo may have been the one to push her completely over the edge to kill herself. But Yang failed her numerous times in her time of need which got her there in the first place. Didn't help that she stood in front of Blake like Ruby was some rabid dog.
@@bainbridgeomega The shock is also further supported by the fact that in the CC flash scene after this, Blake had to leap out in front of Yang to protect her and Yang was basically stock-still. Yang hardly had enough time to process Ruby's death and probably felt a little blindsided that everything took a nosedive so fast.
@Azuri e when you see someone about to end your life, you enter shock at what’s going on. Yang isn’t a third perspective audience like we are, she is seeing someone she loves kill herself…she’s clearly going to enter shock. The fact it happened the moment they ran in, shows how traumatic the wction was as she went into shock immediately
@Azuri e neither of those involved anyone committing suicide. Watching someone kill themselves is a lot more traumatic and likely to trigger shock than any of the other scenes you listed: The fact you think yang still acts on emotion, just tells me you either don’t watch the show, or you lack media literacy. The entire point of yang character is that she no longer acts on emotions…mainly because she lost an arm last time. This isn’t bad writing. This is just you being confused because you lack media literacy.
@Diogo85 sure, it was "never just" about it, but now it's absolutely nothing about it. There's practically no legacy passed down about any plot line pertaining to hunters and instead is just unrealistic choices, thrown together plot, and scenes like this with a very odd feeling impact. Especially with the lack of reaction witnessing it and the nonexistent attempt made to prevent her death. Then, of course, she is revived, removing any feeling or tension left by the decision in the first place but instead serving as some minimal and weirdly designed plot point. I uhhhh mean that's just my opinion on it.
@@seanmager1168 that is literally the stupidest excuse to use, especially with this group. Yang tan in to save Blake from Adam in volume 3, Blake ran to save Sun in volume 5 and several other case that showed these characters not hesitating to save the people they care about.
"Noooo... Ruby don't drink the lethal poison, that will probably kill you, but will also open more space for my relationship with the highly requested member of our team" She said calmly
I think they didn’t stop her because they didn’t know what exactly she was drinking. Jaune should’ve knew though because he was in there longer than all of them. He also could’ve been the one to stop her. I think the only reason the mouse was trying to stop her from ending her own life or being killed, and from drinking the tea. Is because the mouse knew what that tea was going to do to her, and the mouse realized that she’s depressed and on edge. Which is why she didn’t want her to die and tried her best to get her to safety. It wasn’t enough though the mouse did everything they could. Then Neo squashed the mouse. This drove Ruby into hopelessness that she lost everything and nobody believes in her. Yet not everyone feels that way about her. The team still needs Ruby and they would’ve been very sad if she ended her own life. Despite this the mouse had good writing but her friends didn’t. They should’ve knew what that tea was going to do to her. I’m glad Yang cares for her sister but, I am very disappointed in her. I expected more from her in this volume. I just wish she ran to her and broke the tea glass, lean in and hugged her. Weiss and Blake are the ones who helped. Yang is very selfish and focus on her own needs instead of her sisters this volume.
The worst part is after ruby disappears, they all just stand there and stare still. Jaune doesn't react either, he just closes his eyes like he's mildly sad but doesn't really care.
@@fanunion913 A very literal Yin and Yang. ☯️ But really, as a writer, you can't quite get the gut punch just right if you don't punt them first. Gives you better aim.
Don't let Ruby's revival stop you from remembering that the little fluffball from Volume 1 would kill herself in front of her Team and Jaune 2 years later.
this is such a lose lose. If she stays dead, people are gonna be pissed cause you killed off a main character in a way that prevents her development growth and relevance. SO many loose ends. But if you revive her, people are gonna be pissed cause you essentially suicide baited.
Yeah but in the Everafter Ruby will reincarnate since she drank the tea that has a leaf from the tree in it so she’s not dead per say but a new version of herself sort of speak
I mean, I don't think it's exactly suicide bait. Ruby, for now, has done just that. She drank the tea, decided she wants to be erased from this world and... did it. I would definitely consider it bait if she ends up at the tree and there's like a friendship power boost last minute, decides she doesn't actually want to be remade. But, the way I see it is, this is suicide, just with guaranteed rebirth. Which, could be a genuine win. The volumes up until now have already turned and twisted to reach this point of "tonal no-return". All the deaths, the mental issues, the CAT ITSELF - if Rooster Teeth could somehow dig their heels into a version of Ruby that, after the rebirth, is so twisted by a desire to save the day by any means necessary, this could be gold. At least, according to the way I hope things go and having more faith in RT than I've had since the Red Trailer. Either way - I think the concept of remaking the character in such a tragic way, oozes potential.
@@Wingedlight-nn4hl But that's worse. Sure, she'll be alive but she'll lose her identity and memories. She won't be herself anymore. If Ascension leads to that, I'd rather be dead.
@@multiverse_media2023 You keep telling yourself that, but in season 3, when Blake was getting stabbed by Adam, Yang immediately leaped into action to save her. In season 4, when Sun got stabbed by Ilia, Blake immediately ran to his rescue. That excuse isn’t in your favor because we know that not only have these characters gone to huntsman school and are trained to act quickly when in danger, they’ve done so in the past. “They were in shock,” just isn’t true.
@@multiverse_media2023 I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. If your sister was ending it all, you would go into panic, screaming like a banshee. Yang's reaction to her own sister dying is unnervingly calm..

@@rustledvegeta9031 And then she proceeds to grab Blake when running from the apathy grim, stand in front of Blake as if Ruby is some rabid dog and so on. She has helped Ruby in some instances of course, but she has dropped the ball far too much in the terms of being a sister.
We got people letting their love, hopes, and aspirations fester and corrupt until they feel empty at the end of their journey and have no choice but to change entirely. So you missed a lot!
My toxic trait is wanting Ruby to come back as someone way more ruthless. Gimme that anti-hero arc and make her giddy about it, bring back that old cheerfulness with some loose-screw nonsense. Give the one with the most deadly weapon a motive to use it against her enemies and anyone that gets in her way. Turn Ruby into the Woodcutter of Red Riding Hood? Nah, bring her back as the Big Bad Wolf. (Honestly I'm just excited to see where this takes us and this is OOZING potential.)
Ruby(?) : Give me a K! WBY : ... K? Ruby(?) : Give me an I! WBY : ... I. Ruby(?) : Give me an L! WBY : L. Ruby(?) : Give me another L! WBY : ... I don't like where this is going- Ruby(?) : *revving chainsaw noises* Come on, loosen up a little! Don't lose your heads over a little cheer!
Make her act like Raven did towards Yang before coming back and trying to mend stuff, giving more of a crap towards other people than her sister for some deserved PTSD for neglecting Ruby. She legit had that "gotcha" moment towards Raven only to become worse than her.
@@crescentryoshi3717 I mean, I guess I could see that as an angle for how Ruby comes out, but I never saw this as the result of anything Yang did with any intent/awareness. Yang and the rest of WBY have tried to reach out to Ruby, and ultimately, who amongst them could've guessed that the ball of sunshine and their biggest pillar of 'can-do attitude' to keep fighting, would crumble like this? Should Yang have paid Ruby more mind, helped her vent, comforted her more? In retrospect, yes. But that's also retrospect. WBY couldn't have predicted this and probably never even thought about it being a possibility. And Yang has had her own emotional baggage to focus on this season - granted, far more positive, but her own stuff that would be really distracting nonetheless. It's like if you were trying to make things work in a brand new relationship and then you get a call that your best friend 'drank the tea'. It would blindside the f out of you, especially if that person seemed okay for the most part and the only hint you had was them storming out of the office after being really snarky out of the blue. But I could nonetheless definitely dig a more realistic, cynical, and Raven-esqe Ruby.
@Multiverse_Media🌟 love it when trained huntresses really spill their spaghetti when one of their own are about to die. Actually that sounds a bit typical for this show lol.
@@multiverse_media2023 It seems less like shock and more that this is just what needs to happen for the sake of the plot. Which isn't bad, I think. I can suspend my disbelief at people just not doing anything as someone makes a mistake, but I feel like if they at least tried to stop her but Ruby still drank a bit of it and died then that would still probably work for the scene while also feeling more dramatic and more natural. But hey, that's just me. As-is, it's not the worst, but it does feel kind-of stilted when you think about it considering how quick these people are in actual fight scenes and stuff.
... Oh God, it's so much worse now that I'm looking back at it, lol 0:13 Everyone runs in, stops, sees Ruby with the poison. Ruby: "Uhh... hi guys..." 0:18 Everyone runs forward again for no reason, they all just stop for nothing, and they're just standing still and staring. So they saw what's happening, processed it, all moved forward again, and then stopped a second time just to be like "Uhh... should we do something...?" Ruby: "Hey. I'm sad. Maybe some sugar will cheer me up..." 0:28 She FINALLY drinks the freaking tea and everyone is still just standing there waiting for seemingly no reason. That's like a solid 15 seconds of watching the heroes literally do nothing as Ruby just goes for it just for the sake of it. 0:38 Yang(?): "... Ruby...???" I guess she finally processed what happened? Wow, it only took you a full 25 seconds. That's... not great... and yeah, I get that shock is a thing, but this is so long and the entire time you know they're just right there waiting. It just feels like they're not even trying, and the more I look at it the dumber it gets.
Theyre not gonna reincarnate ruby, this show doesnt have the balls to do something like that. She will at most get a different outfit or look, slight personality change, or a temporary loss of memory that will be resolved by the power of friendship. It could also just be a combination of those three, but shes not dead or getting fully reincarnated. the mouse will probably get reincarnated tho.
I don't think she's even going to get her memories wiped, she's just going to literally show up out of nowhere completely fine and Ruby's just going to be over her depression now, because that's the trope. They won't actually expand on it or give any reason why she's not depressed, she'll just be fine now, lol.
Is it bad that I have no context and I'm just laughing like a madman at this right now? Like, I heard Ruby killed herself, but I was thinking it'd be like her using her weapon or a knife or something, I didn't think it'd be a cup of poisoned tea. And the way she's laying on the ground is just so funny and awkward looking because she just starts chugging the freaking thing, and the way she's laying makes her look so weirdly sassy as she does it, lol! Everyone: "Ruby! NOOO!!!" Ruby: "Check this out!" (chugs that shit while laying on her side to pose on them) I get that there's a reason, but it's just so much funnier to me than it has any right to be, and them trying to overdramatize it just makes it even more hilarious, lol. Ehhhh, don't worry about it, we've all seen this trope a billion times before. Just with minimal context, it seems obvious that she'll go on a quick spirit journey of self-discovery, get reincarnated, and then show up stronger than before with no real lessons being learned. And that's assuming we even get a spirit journey, knowing RWBY she'll probably just pop up out of nowhere dramatically without any warning and save the day. If it's anything other than that, I'll be surprised. And if she actually stays dead then I'll be genuinely amazed that this show actually had the balls to straight-up kill a main character for once. Like I'm literally looking at Roman on-screen right now and he's literally one of the only people this show has ever killed, they have zero guts at all when it comes to things like this.
Way to go Yang. You go smooching Blake every minute when your sister has been carrying the death of so many people. You smooch Blake, act selfishly like everything is about you, angry Blake left when she blamed herself, she left out of fear and you blamed her, have the audacity to not even help Ruby with her leadership, she’s been leading Team RWBY and JNPR at this point almost by herself for almost 2 years, the death of Atlas is on her hands, of Penny and Pyrrha is in her hands and you? You or the team even bothered to let Ruby rest, the team showing smiles while Ruby still was being a leader, finding a way to get out with no time to smile. You pushed her away then, you pushed her away now… wether she likes it or not, Ruby’s death is on her and the team for not giving Ruby the break she needed to heal
Finally some one said it, ruby may be loved by her friends but now she needs support. So much blood on her hands, weight in her back and mental pressure, she is a wreck and is barely holding herself togt
@@Kinger5000 that is true, and he never healed after all, losing Pyrrha, murdering Penny and everything in Vol 9 messed him up, and in a way by saying the truth, he messed up Ruby. Yes he did say the truth but sometimes you don’t have to say anything out loud.
@@Daniel-si7zp He was in just a bad state of mind as Ruby tbh. She turned towards suicide, yes. And I know that's viewed as 10x worse... But Jaune named an entire village after his friends... He was alone for who knows how long. I don't think that's better or worse than whatever Ruby's going through. All the people Jaune could vent to weren't there. He was never going to heal until he lashed out at Ruby whether that was immediately, 10 years later, or even 70 years later. And while Jaune words did hit Ruby hard, Yang's lack of giving shit did all the ground work beforehand.
@@Kinger5000- can we stop with freaking bs about Yang not giving a 🤬 about Ruby. She searched for when she ran away having to deal with her mother, the moment Ruby screamed it temporarily broke the spell of the apathy and she came running for her, when she first broke down she was their telling her that hope was never a problem because without it they wouldn’t have made it this far. She literally took a blow that sent her to the everafter willingly sacrifice herself for her sister. Nobody knew how much Ruby was hurting and when it came to ask something happens and Ruby wouldn’t talk. Everyone was was hurting and some found a way to cope with their sadness but Ruby. Right now we need to find that cat and kill it and wait what Ruby will become. That’s all that can do.
@@jacobtherrien5419 Don't get me wrong. Everyone on her team couldn't care less about her. They're pretty much the worst people on the face of the planet.
@@multiverse_media2023 Why should we, Yang choose Blake over her own sister, and when Ruby drank the tea, they all just STOOD THERE, they do not care about her.
So......did the team not know that the tea was poisonous. I mean, I understand they just got there. But Neo is standing right next to her, they should be rushing to defend her, but they barely have any reaction to anything that's going on!
I think this is more a problem of exposition than coherence, it seems that they intendente show how JWBY just got into scene while Ruby was drinking the tea
@@victordominguez3363 That's exactly my feelings as well, just an exposition that maybe wasn't presented the best. It probably would've been better that Ruby was already mid-sip when JWBY came onto the scene, but that doesn't suddenly mean they don't care about her. They didn't know what the tea's function was, but I'm sure that there was the feeling in the air that they were seeing something bad happen. It's like if you saw someone eat a pill and got a sinking feeling in your stomach. You don't know what is really happening - could be cyanide, could just be a sleeping pill - you just have a sick gut feeling and because you don't actually know what's happening, you don't know what to do about it.
They were in shock with the fact that ruby was killing herself. Not everyone’s first reaction to a suicide is to move in to stop it. Not to mention, a sip of tea takes a second. None of them would’ve made it in time Especially with neo right there and able to summon illusions to stop them
@@madnessalbane9445 But from their perspective, why do the contents of the tea cup need to be focus? It’s pretty much just a gimmick feature from Neo. So it might be logical to wonder, “Are you siding with them?” rather than, “What are you drinking?” But who knows? I havent watched RWBY consistently since season 7.
@@NobodyImportant5023 Right because turning the leader of your rebellion into an little more then an incel to prop up a lesbian ship is considered good writing.
I'm surprised it hits you. But still, that's some heavy sh*t to go through... What convinced ya to thankfully not doing it, if you don't mind me asking?
I'm more bothered by the animation error than anything else. Where the hell does Little go? They're right next to the teacup one moment and gone when the ground opens to swallow Ruby.
Little also falls with Ruby. Or are you talking about a different part? Because I watched the video plenty of times but still saw Little the whole time?
@@Rwbyroselover See... I didn't notice Little has moved directly next to the teacup when they were further down near Ruby's hand before. Watching it again a bit more carefully, I can now see Little does indeed fall with her. So, it's not an animation error; just a directing error. 😂
Poor ruby, getting confronted and psychologically being messed with by her nemesis’s sidekick, finding out that the cat really is evil, and losing little… this episode was brutal
I mean, considering what it took to get her that tea and make her drink it... I hope it tasted like the best chocolate chip cookies ever. Because she might not even remember loving them after this.
Let’s all remember that the group realized that what the cats been saying the entire volume is true: the leaves don’t kill. They reform. Neo said she didn’t want Ruby to die, but to be erased. Neo’s goal by giving her the tea wasn’t to traumatize herself to the point of self-termination, but to the point of self-erasure. Neo knew it wouldn’t kill her, but erase who she is entirely, to live a potentially purgatory life where she’s forgotten who she is and lives in a chaotic world that seems rather against humans.
Well your comment was this before Chap 10 came out if even so Neo already regretted what she did & if your comment was right Neo would help get Ruby in remembering who she was as forgiveness for what she did to Ruby
Basically, it's a fate worse than death. You'll be alive, but won't be yourself. But as we see later that what the Cat said was only half the truth as the Greet Tree gives you a choice of who or what you want to become and what new purpose you want to have. But if you don't want any of that and just want to be the same, the Tree lets you go and heals whatever injuries you had. Although, it's implied that if you don't make a choice soon or if you don't know what you want, the Tree will choose for you.
call it what you want, but at the end of the day the trees function is that after the end of ones life its meant to reincarnate them into something new. Ruby literaly killed herself cause she couldnt do it anymore.
I really don't like this scene. Like the stand there and watch he drink it. Why not have them come in 10 seconds later when she's drinking the tea then they won't look like such major A**holes
Because it’s shock. If you see someone about to kill themselves, you’re body’s reaction is not going to be to stop it; it’s going to freeze at what’s going on because of how traumatic it is.
Kill oneself to travel to the tree, that’s some messed up logic. She really blames herself and believes the world and her friends would be better off without her, the protagonists I know are like this. This seems like an unhealthy feeling they have. The tea was so tastes so terrible it kills you? Is that the hole of despair? Is there a way we, the audience can give Ruby a hug?
@@SkystarAG Technically, Death in general brings them to the tree. Other methods include the Curious Cat give a piece of themselves to you or the Herbalist giving the you the smoke.
Our Ruby is gone forever. Even if she doesn't get rebooted by the tree, the hopeful young huntress died, defeated in every way possible. The writers have broken down most of the characters but never built them back up. If they lack the skills to write that part I fear the worst for ruby.
Oh, I'm sure she'll be back. I'm just hoping it's as the tinders of what she used to be. Villains have had the most W's for forever now, and my angsty, twisted writer's heart is just itching for some retribution.
Sorry about flying off the handle, also can't wait to see and hear murderofbirds reaction. This episode was full of mind f's. from seeing dead characters come back to Ruby getting savagely beaten. Neo broke Ruby.
She ain’t dead. Dramatic sure, but she ain’t dead. She’ll come in while everyone is at their weakest like infinity war, save the day and yada-yada-ya da.
Is what you want to happen but knowing how many unexpected turns this show is taking, I wouldn’t be surprised if the writers decide to keep her un-Alived and used as some sort of motivational backbone for the team. Like, Everything they might do will be in the name of ruby cliche
@@dorianbarnes9013 they won’t keep her dead she will comeback some way or another…Actually hope they keep her dead, would actually be very surprised if they go with that.
In my own honest opinion, even after Neo broke her and killed Little, this was a realization that the real world isn't like a fairy tale as reality can't be what you make it out to be since it's cold, cruel and unforgiving and Ruby had to learn that lesson the hard way since if I were to quote Felix from Red vs. Blue, I would say, "That's war, Ruby. Not everyone makes it back." The point that I want to make here is, even if you want to save people, you can't truly save everyone like people are going to die and when it comes time for a person to sacrifice themselves to save others especially in a war, only they get to make that choice, you can't make it for them.
Quite true. But if I were Spider-Man, I would say, "Listen to me, Ruby. Just because you can't save everyone, doesn't mean you should give up on saving ANYONE. Never EVER look the other way". A real hero doesn't stand by and let anyone suffer or die by doing nothing. Spider-Man learned that the hard way when his irresponsibility got his uncle killed. Thus, if Ruby quits the same will happen to her loved ones. And if she lets desperation, failure, insecurities, guilt and temptation get to her, she'll see really how that turned out for Penny.
Everyone, Ruby Rose Might Be Dead, But I Be Surprised If Something Resurrected Her, *Like A Certain Guy Who Keeps Moving Forward, While Wiping Out 80% Of The World's Population Just To Achieve That Freedom*
I'm interested in seeing the new version of ruby the tree is going to make. Cause honestly I don't think the creators and writers of the show have the balls to perma-unalive Ruby like they did with Pyrrha. Though I do think Yang is going to feel some immense guilt when she sees the new version of his sister with no memories of her past life. She's probably going to become over protective of Ruby.V2, being deathly afraid to lose her again.
Here's what believe will happen, they will try and save Ruby over the course of the next 2 episodes and volume 10 will be trying to stop that darn cat.
@@aerissai8341 well fuck, and i was really hoping we mioght JUST get the Neo redemption, perhaps helping to beat the cat after freeing him, but alas not enough time
Okay, I'm just gonna admit this now. Even though Volume 9's already over and Ruby's back, I still can't handle watching this scene. It crushes me every single bloody time! 😢😢😢😭😭😭
It's especially horrifying when you consider the fact that Ruby took a huge gamble on drinking the tea regardless of the result. As she was still unsure if the Great Tree will either consume or ascend her. One technically is "self-deletion" while the other is a fate worse than death because she'll be alive but she won't be herself.
@@brendanstephens2575 Lucky for us, her and her friends that was a misconception and only half the truth. As when you go to the tree, you're given a choice on what you want to become and what new purpose you want to have. But if you don't want any of that and just want to remain as yourself, then the tree will release you. Probably done just in case an Afteran died before their purpose was fulfilled.
@@brendanstephens2575 Don't get me wrong, I understand how you feel. I got affected by the suicide of a hero of mine in real life. But keep in mind, Ruby didn't do this because she wanted to die. But rather, she didn't want to be herself anymore because Ruby Rose was a failure. She wanted to become a better hero and leader that Team RWBY and Remnant deserves. Hero like her mother. And she believes the only way to do that is through Ascension.
@@edwardgarcia409 It’s basically what happens to Ozma when he dies. Except they won’t remember their previous life. We haven’t seen a human ascend though. I think she’ll look the same. She’ll just have a different personality.
Of course she's not 'gone' gone. But it still is a 'death'; one life traded for a new one, an old coat shed, and old friend forgotten - that jazz. It could be incredibly pivotal to the entire story by changing the main character into an entire stranger, one that can have entirely new relationships with the other characters and the world around them. Because ultimately Ruby is hinted to lose all of her memories via ascension. Wiped. Cleared. Erased. Gone, could be all Ruby Rose once was.
It means she’s willing to kill herself due to her mental state…that’s a big deal. It’s the equivalent of watching someone shoot them selves with an unloaded gun. They didn’t die but the fact they’d do that without hesitation speaks volume about the situation

"Everyone are all abandoned me,now theres no hope" -And ruby cast herself from the lowest point in all of Remnant. After years of suffering, years of endless nightmares, it would finally come to an end, death, would be her escape from madness. But it had not always been this way...
The amount of times this has made me picture a very concerned Victorian child worriedly twiddling his thumbs has given me great joy. I hope you're doing lovely after this horrible fiasco and find both sides of your pillow comfortably cold.
Wait a sec....if drinking the tea means Ruby is gonna be erased and be reborn. Is she gonna be Alyx? Because at the end of the intro where it's Neo's portrait and then it faded to Alyx lying on the sand, which where they all started at. Does that mean that Alyx in the end of the intro wasn't really Alyx but Ruby reborn as her?
Well as far as we know no human has ever ascended. We’ve just had theories about Lewis or Alyx ascending. There’s no proof though. I think she’ll actually look the same. Just have a different personality. In the opening Ruby’s on the bridge that Yang & Blake was on in the punder storm. Then she falls into Neo’s tea cup. So I think she’ll be the smiley Ruby that was shown in the opening on that bridge.
Just watch, The Tree decides it has *_ENOUGH_* of this outside meddling, ascends Ruby into a form that could easily trounce Neo AND have enough left in her after in that can of whop-ass to do the same to Cinder and Salem for DARING to have their plots seep into the ever after. This is bound to backfire _stupendously_ on Neo (assuming Jaune, JNPR and WBY don’t tear Neo limb from bloody limb before then.)
It already did backfire on Neo. Neo realized too late that revenge brought her absolutely nothing and she was in the worst position she's ever been it (hence why the Curious Cat possessed her). She's not a problem, but the new Mad Hatter is.
This. I want this... But in a stomach curdling way. Like, Ruby comes back as the 'hero' who will do anything to protect her family. And, I mean anything. Forget hacking Grimm to bits - I wanna see Neo look like the result of a person with OCD reorganizing a box of neopolitan ice cream by the flavors into separate containers.
If she's Perma dead imma be pissed, like what a shit way to kill of Ruby. Like, I'm was just getting back into the series and if the absolute last character I genuinely like just drops out imma quit. Like, fuck sake.
Okay so I haven’t watched RWBY ever since they got to Atlas. So season 6 I think. All I know about this current season is that they’re currently trapped in a different dimension with no way out. My guess is that the way out is by “dying” in this dimension
@@ruy_u the thought crossed my mind at first as well. but on closer inspection it doesnt exactly resemble summer in any sense theyve ever shown us aside from the silver eyes. for example you can see a red choker with more red for a top under that followed by what looks like silver leaves, where as any image weve ever got of summer, she doesnt really wear much red apart from the inside of her cloak and red streaks in her hair.
Honestly though, it seems the only one this season that was taking notice of Ruby's downward spiral was Weiss. Sure yang might be a bad sister for not noticing sooner. A guilt she will most likely (and Honestly should given she just lost her sister due to ignorance) carry with immense grief over the remainder of the season and into next season.
@@jinxyrock7937 knowing the writers, probably. Which at that point i would consider Ruby and Yang no longer Canon siblings.... TECHNICALLY once the tree reincarnates Ruby they won't be related anymore. Least not by blood relationship to Thier dad.
This is a genius stroke of writing. The cheerful protagonist commiting symbolic suicide is something i have never seen in a series before, its a damn shame they wont have the balls to go through with it and its consequences and will obviously reverse it somehow or completely, effectively invalidating the emotional weight of this scene, since you cant undo a suicide.
I feel like I could probably think of a few, but they'd all be spoilers and most of them would be more by technicality, like a "Cheerful protagonist that sacrifices their life and has a dark moment that leads to their 'death' " situation, if that makes sense.
I just want to mention they didn't go through with it. Which means literally every example I was thinking of where a protagonist chooses to die or sacrifice themself and then comes back would all be 100% applicable.
Technically, she's not going to die. She's going to get "rebuilt". But it's a fate worse than death because, despite the fact that she'll live, she won't be herself anymore because for some reason her memories and identity have to be erased for it to work. Worse Case Scenario, she might turn out worse than before like the Red Prince.
I mean... she's coming back. Let's be honest, they tried the same thing with Weiss in V5 when Cinder was aiming to kill her, but they CANNOT kill Ruby. They can't. They can't. I really hope I'm not just telling myself that for comfort. Holy shit.
Hoping so too. I mean it's said the tree doesn't kill but remake or reset people so there's that. And they might come up with something that it doesn't work on silver eyed people or some way to actually go to roots of tree and stop the whole process.
@lucasbroome1048 I don't trust RT to go down that path after Weiss. Now if Volume 10 is named Remnant and does away with RWBY then I'll believe it. As it is now... nah. She's coming back. She has to. Little fell with her and I'm assuming Little is going to something to get Ruby back on track and make everything right. We still have to go back to the blacksmith who offered her a new weapon. Unless she's being reborn and the new weapon will belong to her new identity. I haven't been this excited for RWBY in a long time 😆
@@wesleys3890 I am. Remember Wesley, that the writers of RWBY may play with our heads intentionally to get us Wondering what is next. This is the main character. Never underestimate the power of plot armor. Something that you will not expect will come in the episodes to come. Even after Pyrrha destroyed penny in the tournament, penny DID come back didn't she? Then yeah she died afterwards by Jaune. But anyways, stay focused. Ruby will come back. Wait until you see everything unfold. You will be amazed.
They wouldn't kill off the main character. Everyone knows this. Especially since she is the namesake of the series. I'd honestly be surprised if they kept her dead.
Considering they faked people out with Weiss volumes ago. No, this will not be something that would be a surprise. As the other guy said, what truly would be surprising is if they kept her dead.
Oh now see all the hater’s problem. They thought that WBY didn’t believe in Ruby to not take the tea. See here the thing they have known Ruby long enough to understand how much hope she had and even through hardship she kept it. What they didn’t understand on how much hope that Ruby had lost and believed in the Ruby that would bounce back but clearly they were wrong and too late. It wasn’t Yang and Blake romance fault or some bs lie about them not caring. This is a dark human moment for not expressing or allowing failures to tell you that everything about you is horrible when it’s not true.
It’s not that the ship was to blame, it’s that Ruby’s snap was mishandled by Yang’s misplaced defensive nature. She could well-handle or mishandle and Ruby might still run off to do the same thing, but Yang chose to mishandle, and that wasnt a good look for the big sis.
Considering the fact that Jaune has been teetering on/dipping his toes into a mental breakdown for possibly 20+ years or more in a world that doesn't make any sense, dealing with his own survivor's guilt and everything else? Yeah, I'm not pinning this on Jaune lashing out at Ruby RIGHT AFTER HIS MEANS OF COPING was ripped from his arms right in front of him. Like, people can say it wasn't the right choice, whatever. But he's human. He's not going to be a Gary Sue 100% of the time, and to have him react in a way a genuinely hurt person would after such a devastating loss? That's genuinely GOOD writing.
@@Isabella-tu9fb I think they definitely can, but, it's definitely going to be rocky. Like, not rocky road ice cream - like highway 66. What with Ruby no longer going to be Ruby and Jaune... well, I don't think he's going to be super comfortable around a reminder of his lashing out at Ruby (in a way that was very human and understandable) being their last essential moment together. Would kind of be like trying to bond with an old friend that has pure memory wipe amnesia, but you remember who and what they used to be while they metamorphosis into a complete stranger. Some emotional uncanny valley up in that.
