"Or are we weapons pointed at the enemy so someone else can claim a victory?" "Just a mindless weapon pointed at an enemy a simple tool providing someone else with victory"
There also at least two songs, including this one that reference a simple soul, but with negative connotations instead of victory like in this will be the day
@@arlosmith8991 Literally that was just their entire fight until Herriot got bondaged and used leg attack on Ruby and Weiss having to step in like Ruby, your wasting soooo much timeeeee.

Y’all talk about how “STAY” Shoulda been kept in, but y’all all forgetting the OG Track to have real dialogue in it. If you look for hard enough, in one of the soundtracks, you can find Nora saying “I’m Queen of the castle! I’m queen of the castle!” Good hunting
@@tennoreplay Dingingng ding ding ding! We have ourselves a winner! 2 months later we have a winner! October 28 we have a winner! Thanks for playing y’all
dayneplaylogic I honestly don’t even count that as a loss for Marrow. Weiss wasn’t even trying to beat him, she was trying to KILL him with half of her attacks, and he didn’t even actively try to fight back, just restrain her. It’s not really a win if one’s just constantly trying to say “Please, stop, I don’t want to fight you on this.”
Hey, would you rather be on the same team as a soldier who, as heartless as it is, would leave you behind if trying to save you would get everyone else killed even though it's a heartless action? Or would you prefer a teammate who is naive and will try to save you even though it'll get everyone else killed? Personally, I'll take the former. It's better to let one person die than it is to put 10 people at risk. Never make it your objective to save everyone: that's an objective you're gonna fail. Make it your objective to save as many people as possible. You can't save everyone.
@Mrthe jayvion James is willing to sacrifice anything to stop Salem because they will lose everything if she wins. As for Harriet, it’s because she simply doesn’t question orders, and she probably felt that Team RWBY betrayed them.
The straight up just casual takedown of Vine by Blake and Yang is one of my favorite parts of the episode. The sudden change of tune as the whole Ace Ops team just collectively goes "Oh crap" and we realize "Oh snap" is beautiful.
Really love the fact that everyone just looked at that one arm guy (forgot his name) when he got knocked out at the beginning. "Ayo they really fucked that guy up.... maybe we shouldn't do this"
A lot of the time I wish soundtracks would include critical spoken lines or foley work from the context where it played, things like “Stay!” here or “Yang!” in “Ignite”.

Destin Dustin honestly the only thing that took me off guard was Jaundice since I knew the episode and also ‘Judas Thereupon Kissed’ sounded like a different language, though I guess I was wrong.
I feel bad for marrow he didn't want to fight em but the rest of his team didn't care I feel like if anyone was starting to question ironwood it's him?
Vine was trying to de-escalate the situation too, he didn’t want to fight. He just ended up following along with Harriet and Elm once he realized he couldn’t defuse the tension.
"I'll be honest, I was plenty surprised..." As Hare runs face first into a wall of ice that was not there before. 😂 Yeah, she probably was, lol. Also, I love that Elm's voice actress sings in this, it feels like Elm herself is singing, I love it.
So the main question is, is this song entirely from RWBY's perspective, or is this RWBY vs Ace Ops? The entire first verse is most certainly from RWBY's perspective. But I think there's some interesting evidence in the second verse to theorize that it's from the Ace Ops' POV: >I'll be honest I was plenty surprised >Turned from family to full-on despised RWBY considered Ace Ops friends, but now they're berating and fighting them. It's not surprising for jaded Ace Ops to act like that, but it is for the idealistic RWBY, which Ace Ops are mocking. >Just like you to take the coward's way out The Ace Ops were the ones who didn't think much of RWBY from the start, so it makes sense that they'd say "just like you" to them. >A book of lies with no replies RWBY lied to them about the lamp. >This diatribe's your victory no doubt This is Ace Ops hinting that RWBY is self-righteous in their blaming of them. >You knew the cruelest things to say >Then ran away >Filled with spite and jaundiced >Like Judas thereupon kissed I'm honestly at a loss in this part. Not just because Christianity is not a thing in Remnant so a reference to Judas is kinda weird, but also because these lyrics feel really random and I don't know how to apply them to the situation at all. I guess if we take it as somewhat out-of-universe, this could be about how RWBY got angry and insulted Ace Ops for letting Mantle get destroyed, how Ruby tried to flee without a fight to buy time, and how Ace Ops were hurt by their words? There's also clearly some vague sentiment of betrayal here (que the Judas allegory). >Just a mindless weapon >Pointed at an enemy >A simple tool providing someone >Else with victory This obviously alludes to "Time To Say Goodbye", where RWBY feared of becoming just that. So it makes sense to blame them for this, since Ironwood and Ace Ops probably think they're still following Ozpin. Thought this part could describe Ace Ops as well, since they're just blindly obeying Ironwood's orders. >It's time I blow your little mind Ace Ops are slightly older and refer to RWBY as "kids" on some occasion, so it would make sense for them to make derogatory remarks like "blow your little mind". >Farewell my friend >I really must give you the credit >You achieved a goal >Perhaps the first time in your life you felt control Now I think this part is most certainly from the Ace Ops' POV. They view RWBY revolting against Ironwood's decision as "trying to feel control" over anything in their lives for the sake of it. I don't see how this part about the control could be applied to Ace Ops' at all, since all they're doing is obeying orders. >I'll never trust the same >I'll see friendship as just another game >Full of winners and losers >Selfish abusers And this is definitely RWBY's perspective. This part reflects disappointment, and Ace Ops were jaded in the first place, so why would they be disappointed? It's probably RWBY expressing their disenchantment with Ace Ops' true cynical nature. The main chorus itself could be from either of them, or probably both of them. Feel free to suggest your own theories and interpretations.
I'm pretty sure the entire song is from RWBY's perspective. Narratively this is their big confrontation. I don't see any of the lyrics fitting the Ace Ops. It's also important to take into account the fact that this plays as soon as RWBY gains the upper hand by knocking out Vine. This song is all for RWBY and is meant to empower them as they move closer to their victory in the battle.
For the Judas part, the songs make references to real world things all the time. In Celebrate it mentions Vegas and Christmas. It's just a good line that we'd understand the meaning of, and really reinforces the idea of betrayal. Could be from the Ace-Ops, because whilst both feel betrayed, it was RWBY that ended running away to escape being arrested. Plus Yang and Weiss said stuff during the fights that got into the Ace-Ops' head, so "the cruelest things to say" could be from their view.
Ohhh the build up was really good and this is a version without any other sounds, thats so cool :) It does feel a little weird without Marrow saying Stay tho lol
Same. The whole song-minus lyrics-sounds like something the Great Slayer would annihilate the forces of Hell too. Reminds me of Remnant Inferis: Doom, an RWBY + Doom 2016/Eternal crossover fanfiction I recently found and fell in love with. I highly recommend it. Got a few errors in grammar and word choice, but other than that, it's spot on.
I feel like the “simple soul providing someone else with victory” is referring to Ruby distracting Harriott so that the rest of team RWBY could take care of the others Ace Ops without Harriott’s interference witch could have caused the Ace Ops to be victorious.
They kind of forgot that professional huntsman move in a blur because of how fast they are and how developed their auras are. Also Neo alone can beat JNR but RWBY can beat the best huntsman in Atlas?

War Lyrics:
Never really had a problem with you
All along I thought our friendship was true
Put my trust in you right from the start
I never dreamed that you would be
My enemy the knife to take my heart
You screwed me in the perfect way
A friend betrayed
Just another mourner
Content to follow orders
Leave behind your conscience
Abandon those who need you most
Convince yourself you’re noble
But we both know it’s not so
But if you cross
My battle line
You’ll find
You’ll be sorry that you tried
If it’s war that you want
Then you got it
If it’s pain
Well I brought what you need
If it’s true what you say
You’re the best
Then let’s play
You won’t believe it
Until you see it
When I kick your ass and
Look you in the eye
And with a smile and a cheerful heart i’ll
Turn to you and
Wave goodbye
I'll be honest i was plenty surprised
Turned from family to full-on despised
Just like you to take the coward's way out
A book of lies with no replies
This diatribe's your victory no doubt
You knew the cruelest things to say
Then ran away
Filled with spite and jaundiced
Like Judas thereupon kissed
Just a mindless weapon
Pointed at an enemy
A simple tool providing someone
Else with victory
Now that you crossed my battle line
It's time that I blow your little mind
Farewell my friend
I really must give you the credit
You achieved a goal
Perhaps the first time in your life you felt control
I'll never trust the same
I'll see friendship as just another game
Full of winners and losers
Selfish abusers
You failed to fly but
Somehow I’m to blame?
If it’s war that you want
Then you got it
If it’s pain
Well I brought what you need
If it’s true what you say
You’re the best

No one:
Me: 1:03 STAY!!!
This is honestly one of my favorite Rwby songs
Yang: this bishhh empty YEET
She wasn't playing around
I will never be able to understand how Jeff and Casey just crank out banger after banger
"I'll be honest, I was plenty surprised..."
As Hare runs face first into a wall of ice that was not there before. 😂 Yeah, she probably was, lol.
Also, I love that Elm's voice actress sings in this, it feels like Elm herself is singing, I love it.
that is pretty funny
Every season Yangs semblance gets cooler looking and I get twice as hyped when she busts it out
This touchup made the song so much more enjoyable than I would have ever imagined 😤
So the main question is, is this song entirely from RWBY's perspective, or is this RWBY vs Ace Ops?
The entire first verse is most certainly from RWBY's perspective. But I think there's some interesting evidence in the second verse to theorize that it's from the Ace Ops' POV:
>I'll be honest I was plenty surprised
>Turned from family to full-on despised
RWBY considered Ace Ops friends, but now they're berating and fighting them. It's not surprising for jaded Ace Ops to act like that, but it is for the idealistic RWBY, which Ace Ops are mocking.
>Just like you to take the coward's way out
The Ace Ops were the ones who didn't think much of RWBY from the start, so it makes sense that they'd say "just like you" to them.
>A book of lies with no replies
RWBY lied to them about the lamp.
>This diatribe's your victory no doubt
This is Ace Ops hinting that RWBY is self-righteous in their blaming of them.
>You knew the cruelest things to say
>Then ran away
>Filled with spite and jaundiced
>Like Judas thereupon kissed
I'm honestly at a loss in this part. Not just because Christianity is not a thing in Remnant so a reference to Judas is kinda weird, but also because these lyrics feel really random and I don't know how to apply them to the situation at all. I guess if we take it as somewhat out-of-universe, this could be about how RWBY got angry and insulted Ace Ops for letting Mantle get destroyed, how Ruby tried to flee without a fight to buy time, and how Ace Ops were hurt by their words? There's also clearly some vague sentiment of betrayal here (que the Judas allegory).
>Just a mindless weapon
>Pointed at an enemy
>A simple tool providing someone
>Else with victory
This obviously alludes to "Time To Say Goodbye", where RWBY feared of becoming just that. So it makes sense to blame them for this, since Ironwood and Ace Ops probably think they're still following Ozpin. Thought this part could describe Ace Ops as well, since they're just blindly obeying Ironwood's orders.
>It's time I blow your little mind
Ace Ops are slightly older and refer to RWBY as "kids" on some occasion, so it would make sense for them to make derogatory remarks like "blow your little mind".
>Farewell my friend
>I really must give you the credit
>You achieved a goal
>Perhaps the first time in your life you felt control
Now I think this part is most certainly from the Ace Ops' POV. They view RWBY revolting against Ironwood's decision as "trying to feel control" over anything in their lives for the sake of it. I don't see how this part about the control could be applied to Ace Ops' at all, since all they're doing is obeying orders.
>I'll never trust the same
>I'll see friendship as just another game
>Full of winners and losers
>Selfish abusers
And this is definitely RWBY's perspective. This part reflects disappointment, and Ace Ops were jaded in the first place, so why would they be disappointed? It's probably RWBY expressing their disenchantment with Ace Ops' true cynical nature.
The main chorus itself could be from either of them, or probably both of them.

Same. The whole song-minus lyrics-sounds like something the Great Slayer would annihilate the forces of Hell too. Reminds me of Remnant Inferis: Doom, an RWBY + Doom 2016/Eternal crossover fanfiction I recently found and fell in love with. I highly recommend it. Got a few errors in grammar and word choice, but other than that, it's spot on.
I love the reverse card Ruby plays at 1:22
This song is awesome!
Elm and vine's takedown are so damn satisfying. i'm not the greatest fan of bumblebee, but holy. Absolute girlboss energy.
Oh hey it's the edit I made in like 2 minutes as a proof of concept lol. Well I'm glad people are enjoying it :D
Wow, this really is just a break up song lol
I feel like the “simple soul providing someone else with victory” is referring to Ruby distracting Harriott so that the rest of team RWBY could take care of the others Ace Ops without Harriott’s interference witch could have caused the Ace Ops to be victorious.
It's also a reference to the breakdown before the last chorus of Time To Say Goodbye
I need lyrics stat
Your wish is at my command
@@blessedarethepeacemakers.1457 My hero!
STAY!
ironwood: "you honestly doesnt belive your kids can win a war" rwby: "if its war that you want than you got it"
Yoooo this was such a good idea
great job!
Everything just slaps
Never stank faced on a guitar rift harder than that beginning.
That guitar intro hits harder than my dad on a Saturday night.
Aw this tune is SO BADASS!
I love how at the beginning of the volumen ace ops thought yang and Blake fighting style didn't match but they shut mouths off
I wonder if someone will make a version that highlights the parts of each singer!
I’m waiting for the nevermore remix! Btw how did you get it so early? It’s not July 31 for me yet lol
This song feels so much better with the build up without it it feels a bit empty at the intro
The beginning reminds me of when a series called TTA used to do that too.
The 4 dislikes are from the Ace-Ops, clearly.
My favourite song from the show so far.
They kind of forgot that professional huntsman move in a blur because of how fast they are and how developed their auras are. Also Neo alone can beat JNR but RWBY can beat the best huntsman in Atlas?
I really love the RWBY Volume 7 soundtrack!!!
I may not like RWBY anymore but by god do Jeff and Casey Williams go hard on the tracks
Dude. This clip made me so sad. I was like, "Nooooo. They don't have to fight, but at the same time they do! WHYYYYY?!?!?"
I love how professional RWBY looks now
*screams at the top of his lungs* YES!!!! BEST FREAKING SONG!!!! JEFF, CASEY I LOVE YOU TWO!!!!
"I'll see friendship as just another GAAYEAYAY"
I don't know if it's just this video, but around 1:12. The song quotes "content to follow orders" as he orders the giant knight to stay.
Me when I see yang's semblance:
*:)*
The only thing I thought about this fight was... RUBY USE YOUR GODDAMN SCYTHE!
This song is sooo good
I still hear him saying STAY
For a song about RWBY and the Ace Ops, I keep on thinking this is to Cinder what Nevermore is to Adam.
Who kinda wishes that Blake still had her long hair
Me but she still looks very pretty
Weiss kicked so much ass in this fight, Marrow never had a chance.
I just wish they left the “stay”
Holy shit! Even better then I was expecting!
I still don’t know if I’m gonna actually watch volume 7 lol
