In general, Semblances cost some degree of Aura to utilize. Sometimes, it's best to wait on the Semblance until you catch enough of a breather. - Personally, I keep comparing Maidens and Dust to the sorceresses and para-magic of Final Fantasy 8. It's especially apt when you consider that Maidens' power is passed on to successors when they die, much like with sorceresses. (As a reminder, Maiden magic isn't restricted to any specific elements. Some individual Maidens just have their preferences, like Cinder with fire.) - Hey, remember the end of Volume 2, when Adam was fine with all the White Fang members that were lost in the train incident? Goes to show how...pliable his standards were all along. - Volume 3 is the first time we get to see Aura breaking (on characters like Mercury and Amber). What's interesting is, in Amber's case, she can still use magic even after her Aura broke - telling us that magic is a separate power source from the more common power of Aura. - It's very briefly on-screen, but Cinder's face was distorted in Qrow's view, thanks to Emerald's Semblance - that's why even he couldn't recognize her.
-Wow, Winter’s joke is SO MUCH funnier now.😂 -It took me far too long to realize using semblances uses aura as well.😅 -I haven’t played Final Fantasy and have only watched a bit of someone’s playthrough, but that sounds pretty interesting as a concept! -Adam fans: He’s supposed to be an antihero! Adam: *Is willing to blow up a train full of innocent people, didn’t care about the dozens of soldiers he lost, dated a teenager while he was six years (correct me if I’m wrong) older than her, is racist towards humans*
You know, it’s interesting, when we see Pyrrha in the elevator with the teachers, for the first time they seem actually shifty and untrustworthy. Pyrrha looks so small and scared by comparison.🥺 In case anyone is interested, the song used in the Mercury/Emerald vs Coco/Yatsuhashi fight is called “I’m the One”. Gives more perspective into them too. The Yang vs Neon fight also has a jazz remix of “This will be the Day” and “I Burn”, along with Neon’s theme, “Neon”. And when the episode first aired as a teen, I was genuinely surprised they would actually make a “top heavy joke”!😳
Team FNKI was definitely a good representation of Atlas Military skills. They brought in the mental and psychological battles right off the bat from the get go. Also @ 48:12 Mercury: Hellzone Grenade! Yang: Ah man, it's even got a cool name.
(Heath Ledger voice) "And here. We. Go!" At the time people were giving RWBY a ton of shit for how dark it "suddenly" went, calling it "betraying Monty's vision" and all that shit. But I absolutely LOVED it. They weren't afraid of going to all the dark places the soundtrack had alluded to all the time. They built a world constantly hovering at the brink of total collapse the entire time, from the very beginning - the happy magical schoolgirl image was just the facade they started out with, so they could pull it out from under our feet, and I love them for it. It was all properly telegraphed too.
@@dazaiosamu7184 At the time some people absolutely saw it that way. Every little aspect that surprised them was suddenly "nooo~ how dare you abuse Monty's vision this way!!!?!"
BTS fact for this batch: JNPR fought SSSN in their doubles match, with Pyrrha and Nora beating Sun and Neptune. Fight was cut for time/budget but I think Monty had some choreo done. When you later see the line up of finalists, Sun is there. Since him losing was cut from the show, it was cheaper to just put him in the line up rather than make up another person. Volume 4 spoilers ahead so stop reading if you're following with Alicia (they're on 5 on the Patreon), but there's more semblance foreshadowing here too; Ruby and Yang can't beat Qrow at video games. Finally, alluding to Volume 7 spoilers; Hmmm, I wonder who taught Ironwood how to attach your Aura onto something else guys?
Mercury and Yang are a pokemon fight. Hitmonlee vs Hitmonchan Every time they refer to Yang as blondie, it's a reference to Barbara's screenname from the RvB forums.
The one sideed beat down Merc gave Yang leaving her on the bare minimum aura to stay in the fight to then thow it too put on that performance, that really goes to show just how better he is
This comment goes out to everyone, Alicia included! What is your favorite Grimm species from the first three volumes? Mine has to be the Beowolf. It's just the classic and will always be a fav of mine :)
Out of the first 3 volumes, the bird grimm. Forgot what it's called. The grimm that come in later seasons are cool too but we can talk about them once Alicia gets to them 😅
You know, I realized only a bit ago, but Neon and Spider-Man are VERY similar. They are fun-lovers, both are both quick and nimble, and they use insults and sharp quips to annoy and wear down their opponents. When you strip all that away though, they are genuinely good people, and the people they annoy sometimes eventually become their friends.🐈 🕷️
One of her big weaknesses is people who fight with their feet as well. In the Yellow Trailer she handled the one twin with arm blades just fine but struggled with the other one with ankle blades. Agile and kicking characters definitely form her weaknesses
Coco and Yatsu vs Emerald and Merc are a textbook example of why you dont send the two fatassers to fight the rogue and monk expecting to just brute force for victory.
Man will never realize how lucky he is to watch this back to back. Og viewers had to wait four weeks including the next episode to see Yang continuously broken diwn and thrown in a beating closet.
Woooooo more RWBY! W reaction and W video. Also, shoutout to Azu for putting in all the work that he has to edit this series in a way that is still enjoyable despite the extensive copyright claims YT hits these videos with
And here we are... The part of RWBY where everything starts going in a not so happy wholesome direction... God I forgot how dreading this was after finishing volume 2 and getting to this portion of the series... Oh man I'm really looking forward to seeing the reaction to "that" episode (iykyk) as well as the last episode of this series because... Wooo boy no one saw that coming.
Volume 1: Happy magical girl academy adventures! With hints of romance! (With the darkest parts being the reveal of faunus prejudice and racism) Volume 2: More backstory and bonding between the teammates! And the bigger hints of romance!😉 Volume 3: TRAUMA!
To be fair to Ant the whole of Volume 1-3 totals out to roughly the same runtime as a normal anime season, so considering it 1 season for predictions and pacing makes things make sense.
It will never die of how Tai Long slept with both Raven and Summer, his TEAMMATES and had kids with both of them. That man had rizz. There is a fun theory though that Tai slept with ALL his teammates, including Qrow, and that's why the two seem so salty to each other later. Because Tails got close to both and Qrow never brought it up what him and Raven were doing til she left. Making for some very bad blood
Time to hit you with a request that's either out of left field, or something you would already be enjoying in your free time. Epic: the Musical is something I've seen many people love, but also get exposed to in the worst possible way. Start with the Horse and the Infant, and simply choose either the unanimated song, or just the animation of your choice (no wrong answers), just do not start with the most popular songs, because it's a series that so many people accidentally started at a little after the halfway point
I know I'm a bit late, but you were talking about the 'shadowy council people' and how they knew about magic. That was wrong, they were just the council that is in charge of the Kingdom of Vale. Most Kingdoms have a council of 3 to 4 people, which includes the headmaster of the Academy. The ONLY ones that have been mentioned that know about the shadow war are Ozpin, Qrow, Goodwitch, Ironwood, and the Headmasters of Mistral and Vacuo.
Hehehe, from here the real fun of the Volume starts. Anyway, I have to say, I really like Mercury’s Fighting Style, it’s interesting to watch. Also, i wonder how all of this could’ve been rewritten nowadays?
Not to disparage these seasons, but without Monty's flourishs the movement of the characters feel a lot more technical, like there's more emphasis on "realism" then style now, making the actions feel more sluggish when compared to the first volumes. Its just something I noticed while watching these episodes especially with Cinder's bowswords.
And queue the music........"OHHH THE MISERY........" 😂 Being an old otaku, seeing all this coming wasn't a big thing. But it was how well this was written and plotted out that was so good!! And that this was only the start....... Can't wait for the next one!! 😅🌹❄️🖤🔥
Betting $20 that her first ending is a “what if” ending, outside of endings like “Broken Wings” since that’s so early in the game and people are still learning the mechanics (but I wouldn’t put it pass Alicia if she did get those kind of plot-related endings).
Her partner Flynt Coal is also named after a meme, though in his case it's a reference to Achievement Hunter. During one of their Minecraft videos someone was going through their inventory and listed "flint, coal" among the stuff. They then said that it sounded like a name and latched on to the idea. A different Flynt appears in the X-Ray and Vav animated series. Also Neon is voiced by none other than Meg Turney
Say Alicia, after you guys have finished reacting to all of RWBY, would you be interested in reacting to a popular RWBY fan-series here on youtube called "Fixing RWBY"? It's written by Celtic Phoenix in collaboration with a team of volunteer fanartists called The Sketchy Huntsmen, and it's both a critical analysis and a fanfiction AU, rewriting each volume of the series based on various little changes and ideas that Celtic thinks would improve the series. So far he's rewritten the series up to volume 6, with the Sketchy Huntsmen providing fanart visuals for the new story from volume 3 onwards, and most recently Celtic and the Huntsmen remade his rewrite of volume 1(during the first two volumes of his rewrite he made the visuals himself with editing software, and didn't have any artists at the time to volunteer their work). If you're ever interested in seeing an alternative take on the series, I definitely recommend it! There's a lot of care and thought put into this fan series, and the visuals the Sketchy Huntsmen provide are stunning! Plus it might help tide you over during this rather uncertain time post-volume 9 of RWBY, where no one knows if or when more RWBY will come out. ;u;
Low key its a blessing for us that those subtitles fucked up cause we dont have to completely watch this episode which I am perfectly happy not to fully rewatch
you know what i was starting to get annoyed at the constant muting and cutting you opened this up by saying you finished volume 4 on on Patrion already witch false you finished volume 5 already you way ahead there so I caved see you on Patrion peace god damn you got world of remnant reactions there too any huge rwby fans watching these on TH-cam would recommend the Patrion if for nothing more than this its only like 8-10 dollars a month (Australian) for rwby and there blazing through it so if its all your there for you can unsub once its over witch might only take like two months so like 20 bucks (quick unsponsored promo)
I really don't like the guy with alicia. Her commentary are very not interesting and he distract her so much. For me a reaction alone will be better. I don't want continue to watch because of him. Goodbye
-Mild Spoilers Ahead- I can’t get over just how big of a letdown magic was in Rwby. For it being built up so much, the payoff feels so lackluster and mediocre with how little the actual powers seem to do. Hell, Salem, currently the strongest character in the series was STILL reduced to ash by small nuke and is only around because of her immortality. They honestly should have focused way more on Semblances and their ability to grow with their user. It was LITERALLY the perfect literary device to show a character’s personal growth in the way that they used a superpower which is meant to EMBODY them, we literally could’ve gotten One Piece style awakenings but nah, half-baked magic system 💀
You may want to put warnings before you type these out just in case anyone here hasn’t seen the full series. And regarding your statement, respectfully, that’s the thing: Semblances AREN’T true magic. And forgive me if I am misinterpreting what you said, but say that Salem was “STILL reduced to ash by a small nuke” is a bit much don’t you think? Salem is immortal, not invincible, and there are things that even magic cannot prevent.
@@davidkoudelka10 Fair enough, I’ll edit a warning into it in a second. Also, I wasn’t referring to Semblances as a magic system, I was referring to the magic itself as a separate power being underwhelming and half-baked. And to be frank, no I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch at all. Magic itself has been built up as this end-all be-all in terms of raw power within the show, and it’s failed to live up to that. Magic couldn’t prevent Ozpin’s cane going off (which we know was similar in power to the Nuke that Ironwood was going to use based on his reaction to the explosion), but it was actually Elm’s SEMBLANCE that was capable of containing the full force of the nuke’s explosion, a character who is FAR weaker than Salem on every level. Sure, you can argue magic has its limits, but when some weak aura-construct semblance has been shown to far surpass magic’s supposed superiority, then I consider magic to be a major letdown, doubly so when the magic-wielding character in question is the literal final boss.
I like how in ep.6 they immediately shoot down the heroic cliche of "why doesn't everyone know?/ everyone should know!/ the people deserve to know!" With basically a "Been there. Done that. Didn't work."
Finally logic wins in the emotional reveal of secret knowledge!
Unfortunately, Ruby does the exact opposite later and is treated almost like a holy figure... for some reason.

*MY COMMENTS*
- The joke in Winter's sarcastic line is that Kara Eberle (Weiss's VA) started off as Rooster Teeth's receptionist.
- Team FNKI may look like jokes (since they are themed after internet memes), but they do exhibit the kind of militant genius that's expected from Atlesian students - Flynt provides focused fire to wall off Weiss, while Neon uses psychological warfare on Yang (i.e. rampant taunting) to throw her off.
- Note how Flynt deactivated his Killer Quartet Semblance after checking his Aura reading on the big screen. In general, Semblances cost some degree of Aura to utilize. Sometimes, it's best to wait on the Semblance until you catch enough of a breather.

There's a joke in the fan base that Tai impregnated all of his teammates. When someone points out Qrow, you simply repeat "all of his teammates".
Qrow did wear a skirt that one time.
"Entire Team" for short

At the end of that fight Neon was at the top of the world too, she really popped off in the finale.

It's not surprising Yang had trouble with the chick fron Team FNKI. She has a history of struggling against fast and nimble characters.
One of her big weaknesses is people who fight with their feet as well. In the Yellow Trailer she handled the one twin with arm blades just fine but struggled with the other one with ankle blades. Agile and kicking characters definitely form her weaknesses

god damn you got world of remnant reactions there too any huge rwby fans watching these on TH-cam would recommend the Patrion if for nothing more than this its only like 8-10 dollars a month (Australian) for rwby and there blazing through it so if its all your there for you can unsub once its over witch might only take like two months so like 20 bucks (quick unsponsored promo)
W’s
Oh man, just wait, it gets worse
I really don't like the guy with alicia. Her commentary are very not interesting and he distract her so much. For me a reaction alone will be better. I don't want continue to watch because of him. Goodbye

-Mild Spoilers Ahead-
I can’t get over just how big of a letdown magic was in Rwby. For it being built up so much, the payoff feels so lackluster and mediocre with how little the actual powers seem to do. Hell, Salem, currently the strongest character in the series was STILL reduced to ash by small nuke and is only around because of her immortality.
They honestly should have focused way more on Semblances and their ability to grow with their user. It was LITERALLY the perfect literary device to show a character’s personal growth in the way that they used a superpower which is meant to EMBODY them, we literally could’ve gotten One Piece style awakenings but nah, half-baked magic system 💀
You may want to put warnings before you type these out just in case anyone here hasn’t seen the full series.
And regarding your statement, respectfully, that’s the thing: Semblances AREN’T true magic. And forgive me if I am misinterpreting what you said, but say that Salem was “STILL reduced to ash by a small nuke” is a bit much don’t you think? Salem is immortal, not invincible, and there are things that even magic cannot prevent.
@@davidkoudelka10 Fair enough, I’ll edit a warning into it in a second.
Also, I wasn’t referring to Semblances as a magic system, I was referring to the magic itself as a separate power being underwhelming and half-baked.
And to be frank, no I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch at all. Magic itself has been built up as this end-all be-all in terms of raw power within the show, and it’s failed to live up to that. Magic couldn’t prevent Ozpin’s cane going off (which we know was similar in power to the Nuke that Ironwood was going to use based on his reaction to the explosion), but it was actually Elm’s SEMBLANCE that was capable of containing the full force of the nuke’s explosion, a character who is FAR weaker than Salem on every level.
Sure, you can argue magic has its limits, but when some weak aura-construct semblance has been shown to far surpass magic’s supposed superiority, then I consider magic to be a major letdown, doubly so when the magic-wielding character in question is the literal final boss.
ahh, the trauma must grow.
