Weiss Vs Ruby | RWBY: Ice Queendom

*Insert Wild West theme and Tumbleweed Zwei *

That and she has the style and prescence to back it up. Not to mention that aside from Ruby going full Grimreaper (Which would never happen) carving a path of death and destruction with Crecent Rose no other main character has that villian potential

@Aa Aanxjw such as?

Yeah it totally wasn’t her ego, racism, overall insecurities, or family issues. Her weapon’s “versatility” was her villain material.

@Aa Aanxjw Agreed they should have made this season into a 24 episode season. Let us enjoy the old jokes and then after the dock battle or so before Weiss says I don’t want to hear Ive decided I don’t care: Boom the nightmare grimm takes over. Would have been

@@DrMDHyde that doesn’t make a villain by Japanese standards. That makes her misunderstood. Villains in most Japanese anime always have the better weapon and then lose to a weaker weapon with the power of plot armor

ok

🤣 good one. Also long time no see. How have you liked RWBY Icequeemdom so far?

Oh you're back, I like the new profile pic guy without a mustache.

Wait a sec, you aren't @some guy without a mustache!!! Who are you?

@@ithamarlowe2629 hes the original who everyone thought died of death and got replaced but here he is

It was even shown during initiation when Ruby says she hates Weiss for how condescending and Yang when she doubts Weiss about lying to them all This show is pretty good at setting up Weiss as a villain because of how fake her character development felt

No. General Wiess.

@@morganuhl9992 I know. I was joking

Welcome back to *failure* management: Today I teach you how to make your *failure* focus on study...

Alright alright, it's a hell of a feeling tought

My favourite song from panic at the disco

As a German Citizen, i can only pay my Respects to her Military Fighting- and behaving-Skills. Or to hype it up in German: *"Achtung! Anlegen! Uuuund: FEUER eröffnen! Für das Deutsche Vaterland!"* I somehow like this Twist with the new Grims, called "Nightmares".

More like her inner Esdeath

Hans get the panzer

I think you mean Esdeath

Germany and Russia 1943 fully colorized.

Weiss finally awakened to her German-Esdeath Hybride Form! So i am happy.

@@deathlywinter2995 Yeah, really living up to the Icequeen nickname. And its glorious

Couldn't agree more smh. It's hilarious how everyone except for the company actually making the show can make actually good and fitting outfits for the characters.

@@ijoel_jess8289 Yeah, the worst part is that they arent even bad outfits, like if they were casual clothes while keeping the hunting gear in theme there would be no problem, but nope, Blake barely wears black, Weiss is either gray or blue, Yang mostly brown and orange, and Ruby remains Red mostly thanks to her cloak. Its weird.

@@theelementalstation947 Exactly! People constantly complain about the outfits themselves like for example Blake's current one where it has a ridiculous amount of zippers, and on one hand, it's fair, because it's kinda dumb... But like, if Blake actually got to wear black instead of white and poopy dark purple, then she would look good even in a idiotic outfit like that. Although it's like you said as well, a more casual outfit with a clear hunter/huntress theme like back in the Beacon days would be better. I think the main problems with the outfits lately is the insistence on refusing Weiss and Blake to wear their color, and making the outfits extra complicated.

Thx man, really apreciate the context 👍

my god and I thought the plot of OG RWBY could be dumb at times.

Are the Phantom Thieves really helpful in a situation like this? Maybe they need Mitsuru from Persona 3. She was able to defeat Weiss in Death Battle.

@@deathknightrevan what's wrong with this?

@@elpepo0 I could probably give you an entire tirade on all the things I think are wrong with this show but I brought up plot so I'll stick to a single point which is Weiss. In the original show Weiss is a snooty, uptight, entitled, spoiled litte brat. But she is also an extremely kind and caring individual and is above all honest and straightforward where it matters. OG Weiss explains very straightforwardly why she distrusts the faunus, and apologizes to Blake because she realizes that she is an individual and that she shouldn't judge her based on preconceived notions of her people. She recognizes that they both have suffered due to the conflict even though they were once on opposite sides. Meanwhile ice queendom Weiss pretends to get over it, while she doesn't change at all. And this whole subconscious Dreamscape plot just feels like trying to have her friends force change in her, rather than have her experience the subtle and slow change that is actual character growth. And that's without even touching on the pacing, minimalist animation, and utter lack of heart compared to the original. Which can be pretty bad at times itself, but this is definitely worse.

Her glyphs are also different too. You can see that slash in the middle of them

No scar too,not sure what that could mean but it’s probably that culture of women in high status must look perfect or else they are “worth” less

I saw on Twitter someone mention that her original design has her hair tied up to the side because she is not perfect. Now she has it in the middle and it's perfectly symmetrical, boxed in that ideal

@@juan95194 her ponytail was symmetrical in the Weiss short too, sometime between then and the White Trailer she lobsides it as a small sign of rebellion

I think you must be my English teacher. you remind me of her way to much

Typical 😒

Yang might not be nerfed that hard. Gauntlets that fire explosions is hard to misinterpret compared to Crescent Rose and it’s transformation. Plus I’d buy Weiss has a much harder time seeing it in action as Ruby is not only swinging it constantly but also using her speed semblance. She’s still an idiot for not trying to get a basic understanding of how her teammates’ weapons and abilities work but out of all of their weapons I do think Ruby’s is the most complex

Blake's gonna be nerfed hard aswell if she thinks that Blake's weapon is a "Katana with a long Rope thingy with a gun attached to it"

Ironically, Yang and Blake were buffed, Yang's gauntlet are more powerfull and Blake's rope now is almost infinite in range, her blade and gun works fine, so, Weiss dont know their weapons perfectly but almost, just dont know their limits, luckily that makes them stronger, is just Ruby who is understimated with her complex weapon that got it wrong.

@@gohanmoreno7 Now I feel like an idiot

Is amazing how well the staff behind this anime understands these characters

Yes, I love seeing Ruby having these complex and conflicting emotions, and getting angry and calling Weiss out on her bs, I need more of it! :) The chills I got from this.

😂

dont they barely know each other at this point

@@Derpalypse I think by this point they know each other for six or some months... But RWBY timelines have always been a mess

Evil gets killed and so shall weiss

@@andrewcarlson3486 You really don't know what Evil is and it shows.

@@LokiToxtrocity indeed

@@LokiToxtrocity power can rise but it can fall Like snow

It hit right in the heart.

Actually good writers treating Weiss the way she should be treated - as a competent, strong fighter! You love to see it :3

Of course, it can only happen in her Dream.

@@mikaneko Yeah, only in her dreams XD

@@DrMDHyde Sad but true, since RT's writer's are utter garbage :(

@@mikaneko Maybe that' why Blakes VA wanted the writer not doing the anime. She's scared if what Wiess can become in the right hands

I'd rather her mother be a drunk than an irredeemable psychopath. Besides, Yang's already cornered the market on outright terrible mothers in this series.

Look at little Esdeath Jr. .......gonna cry? 😏🤣

@@Ability-King-KK ikr

@@mikezilla54d13 E.J 😆

She didn’t remember her grandmother before,so..

Nah, it's a Grimm possessing her.

@@danielwilson7193 but the Grimm is showing what Weiss really views the world

@@makerboy1074 The Grimm is showing her worst possible self also character devlopment can exist now thanks to the power of ignoring everything beyond V1

@@NoRegs30 Uh... Why do you think the show is set in a dream? It's not supposed to affect the bigger plot. It's supposed to be a filler set between S1 and S2, meant to advertise the main property like anime spin-offs often do.

@@olserknam Not necessarily They already changed minor stuff so this version of Weiss is still a bit racist instead of it just vanishing after V1 The show is inconsequential but they can still have fun with it

Yeah, this is the best I can do for finding a purely musical version though. Can't wait for the OST release

A tribute for Bleach's return

Exactly

Same ingredients, different stew.

Anyone know what this song is?? I need it!

@@wind_runner6535 I'm not sure, but try searxhing RWBY ice queendom OST or soundtrack

@@wind_runner6535 it's called The Reflection. It's still not out, though. The full soundtrack will come out 21st September

@@episodicteen1024 thank you!

Makes sense XD If this is her dream, she’ll see herself as unstoppable

Given that she got like no solid wins in canon might as well lol

Beat Marrow one of the Ace Ops of Atlas. Also killed the Lancer and Arma Gigas Grimm if we include singles bouts.

It only takes creating another universe I suppose.

I can’t wait for more of this soundtrack

Which ones are worth mentioning?

@@aritzky_7 Obviously RWBY and Yofukashi no Uta. I am also a huge fan of mysteries, so the Made in Abyss OST got me again and Summertime Render has a lot of good tracks even though they don't get to use them that often.

They are currently in Weiss's nightmare, so the crescent rose Ruby is using now is how Weiss sees/understands it.

@@RedEye2025 oh right her cognition of Cresent Rose right? I seen the 4th episode and got MASSIVE Persona 5 vibe lol 🤣

@@JinSeiryuu Poor Ruby has to get used to shooting her rifle backwards. Though I don't understand how Weiss saw it that way. Could have sworn she has seen crescent rose being shot.

@@RedEye2025 This may be a theory but from Weiss perspective she probably see it backwards as Ruby uses it to propel herself, especially when it came to killing the nevermore.

@@RedEye2025 well, the part were it shots is completely plain while the other end actually looks like a gun so...

Uh, bro...?

Looks considerably worse than the first 3 episodes but sure.

@@6dm978 it really doesn't - you actually expected a nightmare world to be as "beautiful" as Remnant?

@@6dm978 They had to nail the premiere of course, but I still think it looks good, definitely more of a emotional episode than fan service. Next episode I'm sure we'll get a lot of both

@@6dm978 how?

Fr I want to see a wiess vs blake

Looks like Blake might actually fight Weiss lol I guess my wish came true

Let’s just hope the anime ends good unlike magia record S3

They are supposed to be this strong, if you watched first seasons you'd know what I am talking about. They just nerfed all of them in recent seasons, especially Weiss, she always takes the L.

@al har Preach!

They used to be able to level buildings and fall from the sky like it was just another day at the office

@al har I miss Monty's fights sm bro😔they were incredible

Yeah I miss Monty's fight scenes. But it also relates to being in Weiss dream. She can be as strong as she wants

IF ONLY SHE USED IT

@@Darh1407 ikr looking back In the volumes all she ever really did is use ice, fire and then just used her semblance for everything else

Mate, I’m sorry, but this is dream Weiss. She’s just good cause she’s in her own dream space.

*sweats in She-Ra*

Me: *sighs in continued disappointment*

Nope. Instant Ice Queen vibes 😍

I can see what you mean. Her outfit is similar after all and she has the dommy mommy vibe (Which I approve of). But she rocks the outfit a lot better in my opinion

Dude can you please stop comparing to the OG Show, Well for my opinion the OG RWBY is still very fun to watch.

@@josephsuh5204 of course people are going to compare they're literally the same show minus some plot changes. Also ice queendom is better. Cope and seethe.

@@pillguy7029 I like them both

Considering that it's made by one of the best studios aka SHAFT, it shouldn't been too much of a surprise that it looks amazing. That aside though, RWBY didn't really have much of a budget in the first few volumes

Aye. It has 4 episodes so far. It's an original story and the studio behind it is the same as Madoka Magica and the Monogatari Series (Studio Shaft)

😂😂

Not rlly his og work was still ruined to the point where another studio had to rework his design just to save it in any degree cause rooster teeth and the Rwby community sucks, its still sad this happened

@@zarock61 He wanted to make an anime anyway, and he did And now it's animated on anime style with a pro anime studio He Would Be Proud

@@samydc310 yes in that regard but story wise it was ruined he wouldnt be, we dont even know what his original intent for the story was so I disagree

@@zarock61 Miles and Kerry were the original writers alongside Monty. Monty himself was not a writer, he was more or less an idea guy and lead animator (especially in regards to fight choreography, evidently a passion of his). While it's true to say we'll never know what the original version of the story would have been had Monty not passed and everything went according to plan, it is silly to pretend RoosterTeeth *ruined* RWBY's writing after Monty died, writing was obviously never the focus.

@@Slendysis I dont mean just the writers I also include ytubers and the fandom, but that makes a better explaination tho I still keep my claim and just hope these newer hands dont make the same mistakes the others did

Honestly one of the few things to reinvigorate my passion for the series. I'm sure the next Volume will not be good. However Ice Queendom is a pretty enjoyable side story. Even the recap episodes help elaborate some plot details skimmed over in the original web series.

It's "The Reflection" by Void_Chords ft. L, and it'll be released with their album of all RWBY: Ice Queendom songs in September. We just have to wait a few months
