I argue there is a limit to the amount of Grimm Salem can make. In the end credit scene, we see the Grimm crawling out of a pool that's not much bigger than the grimm itself with Salem standing beside it. The ground their standing on looks dry. There are high cliffs around them. In Lost Fable, we see the god of darkness crawl out of a lake that Salem and the grimm are tiny compared to. So those pools are puddles on a dried up lake bed. I think Salem has made SO MANY Grimm over the years, she has almost run her well of darkness dry. She maybe running out of power, which is why she is getting borderline desperate to get the relics.
That would also explain that victory is possible despite killing Salem being impossible, as once the pools are depleted the grimm are done and Salem will just be an immortal mage, which makes defeating her possible even if she cant be slain
The verse about Adam at the end was Blake saying that she wasn't happy she and Yang had to kill Adam. She remembered that he used to be a good person but over time his hate for the world because of what was done to him turned him into a monster. Blake is showing sympathy for Adam's past, for the innocent boy that eventually turned into the monster that tormented her. That says a lot about Blake's character. Even after all Adam did to her, Yang, and others, she still held sympathy for his past and what turned him into a monster. But the important thing is that she held sympathy for his PAST, not his PRESENT. Of course, Adam's actions in the present are not justified at all, but Adam's past is a tragic one still.
Yeah, in response to their confusion about the "battle/war" lyric, it was specifically _"You won the battle_ [of Beacon], _but you won't win the war - not now, and nevermore!"_
I still can't believe they just killed off Adam like that. He was the most badass character in the show. Such wasted potential. I guess this means Tyrian is stronger than Adam since he wiped the floor with team RNJR and was on par with Qrow in volume 4 and Adam was killed off by Blake and Yang. :/
@@SilentG07 *_Of course_* Tyrian is stronger than Adam. Tyrian is literally part of Salem's inner circle and was able to go perfectly toe-to-toe with _Qrow,_ a Huntsman with decades of life experience and who had been fighting Grimm regularly since he was a literal child _(Qrow grew up as a bandit, remember),_ *and* who had a Bad Luck Semblance to boot. Adam? The only straight-up fights we've ever seen him win are against Aura-less civilians and mook security guards _(his character short),_ mook combat robots who were so useless that literally the only time we *ever* see them in the main series is when Ironwood is announcing that they're *replacing* them _(his character short and the Black Trailer),_ and students who haven't even finished their first-year training at a Huntsman Academy _(Volume 3)._ _"Adam's strong, but his real power comes from _*_control."_* His control over people and his Semblance of absorbing attacks _through his sword_ were the main things that carried him for so long...but once he lost first his power and then his sword, he was left with nothing.
@@emperordaniel9595 Adam cut off Yang's arm. Which automatically makes him the coolest character in the series. To be fair, Adam was a character Monty had created and since his passing and shane departing from RT *every* character felt "toned down" after V3. I honestly feel that Adam's defeat could've done handled in a better fashion, but Miles and Kerry squandered it.
@Miles Luna Hey if anyone sees this comment, I'd appreciate it if you report this person for "impersonation". You could consider this as a joke but the fact that their "about" section is word for word makes it a potential issue. You can verify what I'm saying by checking this person's youtube and the real one: ru-vid.com/show-UCgbXfy4tQHC_2HEzWJftRsg.
@@YaMamasAss I think her outfit is brown actually, but still, I agree that it does make the hat fit better overall. Also, the whole outfit reminds me of a magician/magician's assistant and that type of hat goes well with that look.
Heads up everyone! In the next month or so, the next RWBY Vytal Knowledge Tournament game will be happening! If you're interested in showing your trivia skills, be sure to study up on RWBY V1-V6 and even RWBY Chibi!
I think a lot of people expected/wanted Adam to be a series villain when all he ever was, was Blake's villain. It seems to me to be another case of people getting upset at their headcanon getting jossed. But I never viewed him as a big series threat. i always thought his story would revolve around Blake and the white fang, so I may be in a similar position to people who dismiss or don't notice Blake/Yang subtext throughout the series.
oh yes just dismiss them like that its totally make sense of course people expected him to be long lasting villain how can you not expect it blake's villain that would work as well BUT THE FUCKİNG BLAKE/YANG or ADAM being an creepy ex BF are fucking forced in if i remember right 2 times where blake and yang had moments i dont know when but im sure they have atleast put it until V6s forced relationship blossomed please give me examples so i can be proven wrong or proven right oh adam Blake in volume 2 established him as a MENTOR not a romantic way in volume 3 episode 7 we saw him denying to Help cinder saying ''white fang is not a organization for hire we are a force of revolution'' later follows up with ''you are asking my men to die for your cause a human cause that is not a idea im willing to entertain'' he joins up with cinder because of her powers in the 11th episode of that volume we see him as completely different character you know implying relationship was romantic even though it was established before hand it was a MENTOR STUDENT relationship in volume 5 he is willling to kill his own people which is not like his previously established personality can i just fucking say they raped ADAM and FORCED Blake and Yang relationship because fans love their ships and thats why 50% of the fandom is split because of the previous episode
@@LTDLetsPlays Okay, you're obviously super pissed and invested so I'm hesitant to respond, but on the chance you wanted an actual answer to how I saw the things you brought up about Adam rather than just venting I decided to respond. This isn't me trying to prove you wrong, or me right. This is is just me explaining how I see the things you brought up about Adam, and how I perceived Adam's character in general. It got long...so if you were seriously looking for a response from someone on the other side, here ya go. If not, oh well, maybe someone else will appreciate this perspective of Adam. Again, this isn't me trying to prove you wrong or myself right. This is just how I perceived Adam in general and in response to some stuff you brought up. Being someone's mentor does not preclude being in a romantic relationship with that person. Being a mentor doesn't preclude being an abusive boyfriend, especially considering he was a violent extremist by this point. People who find violence working as a solution in one part of their lives will, sometimes, begin to use it in other parts of their lives, whether physically or emotionally. An extremist who thinks members of their group or race are holding them back or are in the way and deciding to kill them and even portray them as martyrs is a real thing that happens with terrorist groups. Somebody who's already a violent extremist who has been forced to pass a line they swore they would never cross then escalating to cross more lines is a reasonable course of events for somebody who's heading for a psychotic break which is what Adam seems, to me, to have had at the end of volume 5 and throughout his time in volume 6. The psychological strain of the lines Salem's agents forced him to cross in the beginning, and how he escalated to doing it willingly with the fall of Beacon. He saw how well the violence and chaos of Salem's group worked in bringing down a human stronghold in vale and how it weakened humanity on a global scale. The character short showed how his being an efficient fighter and willingness to use lethal force was cheered on by most of the white fang is what started him down that path. He now sees how terrorist acts on a much grander scale, such as the attack on beacon, can be more effective than what they've been doing under Sienna. He sees how easily Humanity was crippled, just one attack and global communications are down and one of the great 4 schools destroyed. It showed him they could do more than just resist, than just attack the SDC. They could take out the schools, take out the major societal supports holding up Humanity. This would leave humanity scattered and vulnerable, and the Faunus could finally have their revenge. He knows Sienna wouldn't approve of the severe escalation he's embraced by that point.He also knows that it's unlikely Sienna will step down as Ghira did, and so she has to be removed so he can lead the white fang in what he believes to be the right direction. And it's noticeable how the power and support goes to his head, just as it did in the character short. And just as he's at his peak, Blake and her family start causing him problems and reopening a wound he's largely ignored since Blake left, excluding the confrontation at the end of volume 3. I don't actually see Adam as stupid. just as he knew Sienna would be against him, he knows Ghira definitely would and that Ghira still has a lot of support on the island. This leads to the obvious need to sacrifice them to secure his power, as leader of the white fang was shown to have a great deal of influence over the faunus in general, but Ghira had the power on menagerie, which could splinter the faunus outside menagerie. It's a pretty normal thing that happens with kingdom takeovers throughout history and Adam, having already crossed many lines and having crossed a big one killing Sienna, and already showing signs of heading towards a psychotic break, added to his existing animosity towards blake, would find it easier to sacrifice the Belladonnas. But he'd want Blake captured so he could get revenge, both personal and for the white fang as he saw her as having betrayed both. He fails and the Belladonnas do what he feared, gathered support and challenged his claim to power. He's defeated by Blake and sees the situation as a loss and retreats. This is when the psychological strain he's been under since Cinder first conscripted him gets to be too much and his psychotic break begins. He knows Ghira will likely be able to split the white fang loyalty. Especially with the help of the people of menagerie, the families of the white fang members. And he likely knows what Ilyia states at the end of volume 5, that him abandoning the white fang members wont look good and will cost him support. He's also lost the support of Salem's agents, as Hazel dismisses the Blake and the Menagerie Militia as Adam's problem, and at the end they leave without him.This support was a major aspect of what gave him the confidence to seize power. That confidence is now gone. His short lived peak is collapsing, and it was caused by the belladonnas, by Blake. The girl he at one time loved. He heads back to the headquarters, to his only remaining allies. He's in the midst of a psychotic break, the stress from all the lines he's crossed and the very rapid series of catastrophic failures that all seem to trace back to one thing, Blake abandoning him. It was right after Blake abandoned him that Cinder showed back up to force him to cross a line he swore he wouldn't, which to him would seem to be the beginning. So he returns to his headquarters, his throne, his seat of power, and the only allies he has left. And what do they do? They mock him for his loss and specifically, mock him for his loss at the hands of Blake. He snaps, and kills them in a rage. And it's at this point he realizes he has nothing, no more white fang, nothing to fight for. The Faunus sided with Ghira against him, the White Fang turned against him and mocked him for his losses, all stemming, in his view, from Blake. And so he destroys his throne, the last tie to his short lived claim to power, he had already ditched the mask that had become his identity as a white fang member. All he has left is to get revenge on the person he holds responsible for him losing everything, Blake. It becomes his obsession. She becomes his obsession. and as he hunts her down, he dwells on the failed relationship, on this blonde girl that blake seemed to care so much for at Beacon. And his anger and bitterness festers, which climaxes in the fight against Blake and Yang, and the ranting he does during it. Being in the midst of the psychotic break, having spent weeks in uncertain conditions waiting Blake to be alone, and all the anger and rage he was riling up in himself lead him to be reckless in the fight, just as Yang was in their first confrontation, showing another parallel with Yang, Reckless arrogance/overconfidence in a fight when emotions are high. Yang overcame it, Adam is full on in the thick of it. Her Aura's low, which means her strength is at it's highest point. His is likely low too after the fight with blake and then yang and then both. Yang manages to punch with what is likely the strongest her semblence gets, and it breaks his aura, which allows for him to be stabbed by both girls after they all rushed for the shards of Blake's weapon.
im not super pissed im really annoyed at how people react to this im going to read this later since its going to be fun as hell to read your response since you took a long time to write that look forward to it
@@LTDLetsPlays ha yeah, i can get pissed and annoyed mixed up online. I'm glad you'll take the time to read it. My original comment was rather dismissive, so I tried to be more productive and explain my perception of Adam throughout the Volumes and why I'm okay with how it ended.
I see Adam as the first step towards Ozpin's goal. We know the whole point is to unite humanity and Adam was a huge hindrance in that just by existing due to how he antagonizes humanity and would always come back for more if he wouldn't be put down.
Y’know, I wasn’t originally big on how that moment was handled. Gurren Lagann was always just a bit over the top for me, and the tonal back-and-forth from the Summer shot to the suddenly leaping mech to the convo on the airship all in about a minute was jarring to me. I just wasn’t the target audience for the moment, I guess. 🤷♂️ Hearing these two frame it the way they did...I can understand the reasoning that might’ve went into it. :)
Which pun do you think is funnier guys? 9:23 Maria: Ruby when I said "trial by fire".... A) I didnt mean that LITERALLY. B) I didnt mean trial by DRAGON FIRE!! C) I didnt mean a trial by ATOMIC BREATH! That aside, I think they were clever with the fight. I know everyone thought Ruby would just vaporize them in a second. Instead, they were realistic and showed that just cause Ruby can use them more at will, she cant control the aim or output. At the same time, it gave Cordovin a chance to redeem herself. People can blame it on the protagonists all they want, but the truth is, she can only blame herself for wwhat happened. She was petty, arrogant, condescending and abusive of her power. And if you think her being the military officer put her in the right, you should listen to the crew on afterbuzz tv for v6 ep 11-13. One of them has a military background and has told extensively how Cordos actions SHOULD lead to a court martial P.S. I ve been listening to the song Nevermore since yesterday. Not only is it awesome, but everytime I hear it I can sense.......a disturbance. like a million Adam Taurus fanboys CRYING IN PAIN! BWAHAHAHA!
Volume 4 Finale: Ren and Nora hold hands, give each other meaningful looks and smile at each other Everyone: OMG RENORA IS CANON! Volume 6 Finale: Blake and Yang hold hands, give each other meaningful looks and smile at each other Same People: THEY ARE JUST FRIENDS!!!!!!!! Seriously if you still deny Bumbleby after this volume, the parallels to Renora, the parallels to Beauty and the Beast, Kerry's words, Arryn's words then you need help
No one's denying the Bumblebee overtones; in fact, the CRWBY do generally support them in their fans - WhiteRose included - hence why the numerous such hints in the first place. ^But in canon, they 'are' just friends, who happen to have a particularly strong bond (as does happen, and who 'can' share equally-meaningful looks just as much as couples would) - not to mention, Blake and Sun are still as heavily implied as (if not moreso than) Bumblebee, so Bumblebee isn't an exclusive ship. This also can't be denied lol
To be fair, there are people who think Renora still isn't canon. They think Ren and Nora are gay and just best friends. There are even people who think both Team JNPR and Team RWBY are all gay and trans. Simply because it isn't stated otherwise in the show.
@@Omegafire17 Blacksun died in chapter 1 Sun confirmed he didn't go with Blake for romance he went with her to help her cause HE'S HER FRIEND. Saying that they are more implied is just you applying hetero normative biased to them just cause they are male and female when they spent two whole volumes together and nothing happend between them. Arryn also confirmed chapter 12 was the start of Yang and Blake realizing they have feelings for each other that goes deeper than friendship, so yes they are canon in in the fact that they have romantic feelings WITHIN THE SHOW makes them canon. Blacksun is dead
At this point, Yang will have to scream "Get away from my girlfriend!" for me to believe in BumbleBee being romantic. I see Team RWBY as sisters. ReNora was established in the Volume 6 intro. Plus Nora yells at Cordovin to come back with her man. ReNora, canon.
Ruby's first Silver Eyed Power-Up failed because her thoughts drifted into sad/negative territory and she lost focus....sort of a callback to her letter at the end of vol.4.....when she first wrote down "if not for us, then for all the people we've lost...", scratched that out, and re-wrote it as "then for all the people we haven't lost yet.", redirecting the focus on hope for the future.......
Also Atlas being a flying city over a slum is a reference to Battle Angel Alita, with Penny having similarities to Alita (robot girls with angel wing imagery) and her ‘dad’ having similarities to the scientist who takes care of her. With the movie adaptation coming out in a few weeks it’s kind of hilarious timing
One thing to note about Ruby and her trauma is to note that Ruby does not sleep well. We saw it in Volume 4 and we saw it at the Bartleby farm. No one else even flinched when the bottle fell, but Ruby shot up, almost shouting.
This finale was amazing, the flashbacks were beautiful and I started tearing up when we saw summer and indomitable started playing,can’t wait for soundtrack, also I believe nevermore is Blake and yang singing about their experiences with Adam, can’t wait for volume 7 luckily we have gen:lock and hopefully rwby chibi (I need chibi coco in my life) at some point to hold us over
You know what I just noticed about the whole Wizard of Oz theme, General Ironwood “needs a brain” because he wasn’t thinking clearly at Beacon sending in those airships thus being part of the reason why Beacon fell. Leo “needing courage” to stand up for himself and to others thus him being the cowardly lion. And Qrow...well he “needs a heart” meaning he needs some love. He’s been drinking all his life with having bad luck surrounding him and probably seen some terrible things, but the only way to make Qrow really smile is giving him the love he deserves and that’s what Ruby is there to do. Maybe if we go to the “he’s Ruby’s father” theory or somewhere along those lines, I think Summer was the person that he so loved but now that “she’s dead”, he doesn’t have that happiness except Ruby is there to take that spot of being the light in his life.
Wasn't the heart for the tinman and the brain for the scarecrow? Heart because of how cold can Ironwood be (I expect really hard measures un next volumen against all, villains and RWBY&Co). And brain for Qrow because between he and Raven he is the "memory" bird while Raven the smart. He is the messenger but not the one Who thinks (following Oz blindly).
I still can't get over the emotional range Salem goes through in just a few seconds after making the Winged Beringal(?). Like in three-four seconds her face goes from "are you okay my child?" to "I'm so proud of you" to "you are going to kill so many of my enemies"
The second voice you were hearing in Never More is a lady named Adrienne Cowan, she's got a power metal band called Seven Spires if you're into that kinda stuff.
Has anyone played Chrono Trigger before? The first time I saw what Atlas looks like it immediately reminded me of The Kingdom of Zeal in Antiquity. The Giant Island mass that floats above the frigid clouds of the lower atmosphere and houses the kingdom and all of the high class citizens is chained down to the never ending freezing wasteland where the lower class dwells.
I love how you guys always understand what the writers are doing. You guys dont sit here and hate on the show like other reacters do. You dont drag it because it didnt go your way. This is why people love reacters like you because you LOVE this show. Keep bringing positive vibes into this community.
@@Axel_Kasai It's more Cordo covering her butt for letting them slip by. She's still under orders to keep the border closed, and RWBY slipping by in a missing airship isn't as bad a Cordo just letting them go.
17:17 Ozpin: Okay Oscar, listen carefully, the landing strategy for crash-landing an airship of this exact model carrying this many people is as follows- 'Explains the strategy' Oscar: You sound like you've done this a lot in your day. Ozpin: Son, I was crash-landing airships *before* it was cool. In fact, I *invented* the crash-landing. Oscar: I see I have some...... 'Interesting' memories ahead of me, huh?
For an episode it was great but for a season finale it kinda feeled (for me at least) a little bit underwhelming. I still loved this volume even if it had some problems. My highlights from this episode are Neos new outfit, summer and this two beautiful song 'indomitable' and 'nevermore'. Seriously i need the full version from the first song as soon as possible.
I think it felt underwhelming as a volume finale because the end all scene was showing that Ruby's been growing as a character, and while we see that represented in her flashbacks (and the subtle facial expressions she has as Qrow goes for the flask before putting it away again), it is somewhat drowned out by the action and everyone else's character growth. Plus there's not a hard ending. It's very much a "To Be Continued" ending, which is good as a sequel hook, but for a TV show isn't something commonly used for the end of a *season.* So yeah, definitely underwhelming overall, but really I think it was a pretty good ending even with that said.
I feel like he returned without Oscar knowing after the 'Jaune incident' and realized "I still can't trust them, but these are my kids. Even if no one will be my pillar, this boy (Oscar) needs one." My Magic Son needs a hug. And warm cup of cocoa. My Farm Son needs to be cradled by a mother. Or Maria. Cause #mariabestgrandma. The Birb Son needs a smack on the head, a hug, and someone to explain that his semblance doesn't matter. In conclusion: Mama Huntress wants her babies happy. LET MAH BABIES BE HAPPAH!
I wonder if or what the downside to silver eyes is? If there is none and you master it, almost all Grimm become fodder, she froze that Leviathan and just kinda, turned around non nonchalantly, could be Overpowered without a counter balance. Good finale over all, the music when she froze it was on point, Atlas looks great and Cordovin (Spelling? idk) came around.
That's one of the importance of Salem having useful people. The Grimm Reaper was overpowered fighting grim, she was a literal legend, brought down by some no name agents of Salem who might've just been mercenaries and not full agents. Just look at how hard a time Ruby and co had against tyrian and hazel. granted Ruby will be able to handle Cinder if/when she masters her silver eyes, but Neo? Tyrian? Hazel? Mercury and Emerald? a lot of people are guessing Watts is less a fighter and more an inventor, but that's not confirmed so he could be a similar leveled threat. Any of them, or more than one of them, targeting Ruby while she's trying to activate her eyes? It'd be like Weiss's fight with Vernal. I think the eyes only working on Grimm and in the presence of Grimm is plenty limitation/downside enough considering it seems to be some kind of gift or legacy of the god of light, of course it's powerful against Grimm. That's why Salem hunts them, that's one of the main reasons Salem gathers strong people around her. Her 4 "dragons" or "generals" or whatever talked like Silver Eyed warriors aren't much of a problem for them personally, which isn't surprising considering a one off character crippled a legendary silver eyed warrior.
@@chaostourist2951 Oh no for sure, I agree. it just sucks since the grimm design and scale is so cool and distinct, the leviathan got yeeted, was able to kinda resist then got yeeted again XD It just kinda makes them a non threat, which isn't a bad thing, just something I was thinkin' about.
@@chaostourist2951 Hey, fair point, but if she learns to use eyes on command and there really isn't much of a drawback she can slowly, but technically easily track them with her eyes and take them out. But compared to how we've seen it used thus far, which is Levi, the apathy, the massive grimm maria was fighting, my memory is failing me, and the dragon at beacon, all were relatively large except the apathy and they were all pretty slow. Guess time'll tell.
My guess as to the drawback is that the power of the silver eyes cannot be used if the individual allows negative thoughts to cloud their mind. Realize that they only worked when Ruby thought only of the positive moments. Also, there is doubtless a limit to the size of Grimm that can be take out that easily. Something the size of the dragon and Levi, for instance, would only be frozen. Beowolfs probably wouldn't stand a chance against them and would just be wiped out.
Hey guys, love the videos as always! Just a quick question, how do you guys get the footage for the chapter on your videos, since it's only on the RT site?
"nevermore" is a duet with blake and yang about adam, if nobody has said that yet. i think i remember that casey sings blake's part and the new vocalist sings yang's part. the reference to adam winning the battle was most likely talking about beacon.
Nevermore is yang and blake to adam, one of the lyrics is "i made a vow, we protect each other" or something along the lines, and the "you won the battle but we won the war". Its why theres 2 females singing.
Oooh, sudden theory: light bro told ozma he would reincarnate in a way that ensured he would 'never be alone'. But Ozpin has been merging with his 'hosts' which isn't the same thing. What if ozma/Ozpin has been forcing the merger (because control freak) but was intended to coexist with his hosts. And he's only now accepted that/worked that out.
5:12 I don't think that's what Neo meant by her snap. She was probably just trying to be sassy and snap to prove how cool she is, like some people in real life do.
Jinn be like; "You cheeky little git, you...!" :D I would have been so happy and laughed if Jinn had then reached down and ruffled Ruby's hair a little or somesuch :P
I really like your reactions! You guys are insightful and positive which makes me happy and appreciate the show even more. I very much like what you said about Adam too. Now, let's face this Hiatus together!
I think that the reason why the Silver Eyes didn’t completely paralyze the Leviathan is because this was her first time actually trying to control her powers. She more than likely didn’t tap into the full pool of her powers on her “first try” unlike when she froze the Wyvern/Dragon thing when she unleashed all her power. Not to mention that Kevin is the same size as the Leviathan
I'm starting to despair we're never going to get a Volume 5 Japanese Limited Edition or any other beyond Vol.4....I've been faithfully importing and collecting them from Amazon.co.jp but there's still no word about RWBY 5 in Japan.... *sigh*
Cordo's like - Ore wa dare datto omotte yagaru! Tengen Toppa... Gurren Lagann! Ore no doriru wa... Ten wo tsukuru doriru da!!! Giga! Doriru!!! Bureika!!!
Ruby's eyes? How to make them more powerful? Just a guess, but the next time they run into Cinder Juane will aura up, put his hand on Ruby's shoulder, and say "give her EVERYTHING we've got."
I mean, Ruby could have asked Jinn the current location of the Winter Maiden, since they do need to know that....but I'm glad Jinn appreciated Ruby's creativity.
Jinn said she'd give Ruby knowledge for free and I think she gave her that vision of her mom. You're right in your discussion, Ruby was too young to understand what happened and maybe too young to remember her mother. But even if she did remember her, why not think of Summer during other times? Like staring melancholy out of a window? I think Jinn knew they'd die if Ruby didn't get the right motivation and knew the one thing that'd definitely work was Summer.
Jinn wasn't concerned at all by what was happening. And Ruby seeing her mother is not how Jinn's powers work. Cause, you know, Jinn was already gone and Ruby's eyes were closed. I just don't care what Yang said. In one of her memories, you can see the Yang from when they went to the old shack like Yang told in Burning the candle. If Ruby can remember this, why not the rest?
Jinn's line was just a cheeky way of saying don't ever do this again. Ruby likely knows what her mom looks like from pictures. She very much loves the idea of who her mother was even if she was too young to really remember her.
When Cinder mentioned of someone asking her if she believes in destiny, I'm starting to wonder if she's destined to die at some point. Apparently, she seems to be ignoring the fact that as long as she has that Grimm arm, she could still suffer the effect of Ruby's Silver Eyes.
Yeah, the line was 100% death flag. Cinder seems to think Neo is as naive as Emerald. This will come back to bite her on the rear. I'm thinking Cinder doesn't make through the Atlas arc and Neo becomes the next fall maiden.
also regarding Gen:Lock ....... I've heard(through other reactors, aka grapevine) that Rooster Teeth updated their guidelines in a way that allows people to put out reactions to Gen:Lock (even though it's First exclusive), HOWEVER, I completely understand if you guys or someone else wouldn't want to do it out of respect for Rooster Teeth
I don't believe that Neo changes things from nothing, I'm sure it has to be from what already exists. She just tweaks it in different ways. Oh Cinder, you bitch; bringing up Pyrrha like that, how dare you? This is your fault! It's your fault as well; for freaking overreacting as well! Oh yeah; use a giant mech to attack two grown adults, a bunch of young adults and Oscar; smart plan, very smart plan! (Not!) Ruby giving Yang the "I approve of your new girlfriend, look" (Note; this is mostly a joke; but that's the vibe I got from it, even though it's not likely going for that vibe). I'm still rather surprised that Maria would run, though perhaps she was testing them? She's pretty silly a lot of the time, but she's also very smart as well. I'm rather surprised that Jaune didn't join in with "No! I'm not leaving; my sister is down there" but maybe that was because the others started to deny what Maria was saying, before he could? Pyrrha did say at one point that Jaune had a lot of Aura; after she had unleashed it, so the fact that he still has aura doesn't really surprise me. Awe! Baby Adrien is so cute! I love him, he's too precious. That wall barrier is pretty awesome, but walls normally don't last for long That's kind of weird that a Water Grimm has a lightning attack; just kind of weird for me. Cordovin was listening in on Ruby's little speech there, so she likely realized; that yeah Ruby and Co were trying to get somewhere, that Cordovin didn't want them too; and yet they were still taking the time to help everyone, like a true huntress. And just like that the wall is down, doesn't take long to take down a wall, afterall. The little nostalgia flashback that Ruby had, was so great to see! (Well, until they got to the darker stuff). The fact that Ruby called Jinn! I was so surprised/shocked/happy! That was the smartest plan that Ruby has ever had, I just love it. That shot of Summer, blew my freaking mind (I'll admit, I freaked out as well, just such a hyped moment). We had seen her before, in a picture; but still, this was different. I will pierce the heavens with my drill! That was a Gurren Lagann reference, if I had ever seen one; lol. I love Cordovin's little turn around; kind of reminds me of how Weiss was in volume 1 but then slowly got better as a person. Awe Qrow! He learned that he doesn't have to drink every time! And Ruby was so happy, which makes me even more happy! For her and for him, just real nice. Maria senpai noticed Qrow, lol; that has to make him feel pretty good for Qrow, who has been beating himself up this volume. Awe! Ignoring the whole shipping feud here; I just really love Blake and Yang, they've come such a long way and it's great. "I'm just a normal girl with normal knees" They should have brought that back, kind of disappointed that they didn't, lol. Ozpin guided Oscar, and maybe he's going to stay in the sidelines here, doing things differently than the past, perhaps? Atlas looks so cool, up in the sky (It's totally going to come down here, isn't it?). I know that Salem is based on the Wicked Witch of the West, but to actually have flying Grimm? Lol, lol. And it looks like she'll do stuff on her own, which is pretty cool. What a season 6 finale! It was real good, really enjoyed it.
I'm thinking, Salem is in the domain of the God of darkness, so does this mean that the god's domain are still here, so anyone passing by the domain of the god of light and deciding to swim a little can become immortal?
Genuine question: Jinn said Ruby hadn't asked a question, but she would still give her knowledge freely. I'm wondering if the memory of Summer Rose was a gift from Jinn rather than Ruby's own memory.
@@Axel_Kasai I can totally see that being the right explanation. Also Jinn's memories usually come with the blue smoke effect... but yeah, just wanted to put the idea out there, thanks for the response :-)
Personally, if I were Salem, knowing that Atlas has fully retreated into paranoid isolation AND that Oz and Company are on their way there now...I'd use the distraction (and the lack of global communication) to head in the opposite direction, massacre Shade, and take the Sword of Destruction myself.
@@MrRemicas It just seems silly for her to go to Atlas herself after she'd already sent Watts and Tyrian to ensure it self-implodes. Why waste her time giving Atlas a real threat to fight when they can destroy themselves instead?
@@kelleysims7625 I'm not convinced she's actually going to leave her castle, but rather she's going to lead the attack from the safety it provides. I just don't see Salem putting herself in harm's way (Ruby's eyes). I may be thinking of the original movie too much, but the "flying monkeys" make more sense in Vacuo - kidnap Dorothy (Ruby/Oscar) and shred the scarecrow (Vacuo's headmaster). IF they really are for a kidnapping, this feels like an odd place for it.
@@brandydavis8420 I can get behind that theory. The one thing I don't understand (okay maybe not the only thing lol) is why, if Ruby was actually a threat to Salem, would she instruct Cinder *not* to kill her, as well as ask Tyrian to bring Ruby to her? It is curious that she'd take that kind of risk.
@@kelleysims7625 I haven't figured a good reason for her keeping Ruby alive unless she needs her as incentive to get a still alive Summer to do something for her. Or unless it's part of some deal we don't know about yet.
I go back and forth with it, along with the idea she is the summer maiden. My crazy mind goes like this* - Summer+Summer Maiden+Salem was ready to go to Vacuo and open vault without Cinder+Salem wants Ruby alive=Salem has Summer *I don't necessarily believe this but it amuses me and it's a long hiatus...
The Wyvern at Beacon isn't fully stone, though. He was still alive enough to be attracting other Grimm. And that was with a stronger output. Will be interesting to see where the strength/output of this goes and what it does to the ones in stone. I can easily understand Salem wanting them dead if she thinks she'll be encased alive.
CSP18 SPC12 nope the wyvern was fully statued maybe that's why ruby passed out she output way too much cinder was the one who got away but the wyvern/dragon is a statue as said way back I don't remember think was vol4 or something or by the time ruby got up they said the Grimm wasn't moving like a cause if that was incomplete the they would have shown it like leviathan did..... As for Salem yeah being part Grimm she really dosent wanna fight a whole army of them so she starts to take them down one by one before they get properly trained with thier eye powers and seems like tock was one oh her hitman
@@scarletrose8766 Yes, it's more fully in stone than Bubbles. But it was still alive enough to be attracting other Grimm to it. It's implied at the end of season 3 that Kevin isn't a solid hunk of rock, that there's still some Grimm force there.
CSP18 SPC12 well yeah but he is in stone fully instone unlike leviathan whos head broke out after being petrified (i doubt she can turn them to dust if they are that big) leviathans case probably havent gotten enough output to fully stoned it and if cordo dint drill the leviathan .... it would have eventually broke free but the dragon/wyvern one dint its alive but hey they got a living dragon statue at beacon (sadly theres grimm forces there lol)
