I guess Hazel wouldn't be Hansel if he didn't set a witch on fire at some point
Love it! Love the realization!
It was also a reference to Salem witch trails in a way.
@@ventustbb3229 that does mean she will likely live the arson attack.
@@fireshockgamer6734 I mean we know she’s gonna live. Bc she’s immortal. It just seemed like a reference to me bc the episode title is Witch & her name is Salem. We already know about that reference though. Just saying
@@ventustbb3229 exactly. That's also my point.
Cause if you survive your a witch.
If you don't, you aren't.
I love how Jinn knew there were 4 people in the room. It makes sense that she’s that hyper aware. She kept stressing “are you sure none of you have a question?” I really like that detail
Me 2
Nice details are *nice*
She probably sensed someone did (my money's on Emerald), but everyone kept quiet about it.
@@ShinyDiscoBomb Neo
Reminds me of Shenron
Not gonna lie, salem actually fighting terrified me to my soul. Especially her regeneration, deadpool eat your heart out
@@10tailedbijuu Deadpool is lame bro, Salem would toast him easy lol
@@ninjakick1375 Ikr & he doesn’t even have magic like really?! XD
@@ventustbb3229 actually, deadpool in some cases uses Doctor Strange's type of magic, also i would say that his ability to use the tropes of whatever medium hes in and break the 4th wall is a type of magic, because i mean, he can literally use it to fuck with time if he wants, like "let me rewind" *pulls out a tv remote*
@@10tailedbijuu thank you I was just about to say that
@@ninjakick1375 idk man. Theres that comic where deadpool kills the marvel universe. Pretty sure alot of marvel heroes are way stronger than salem
Salem 'running' like it was black Friday was the best part of the episode.
LMAOOO YES
I WANT THOSE HEELS, DAMN IT!
"look how yuo've lessened yuorself and for" . Self he talks to ozma and then he gets angry with oscar why?
@@francescocappelli9071 ??
Why....do...you...keep...coming...back
Why salem angry of ozma
Know what be cool if at the end of an episode or the finale of V8 we show Neo with the Lamp and she says, “Jinn”
That would be awesome
I would lose my mind
Light Ignis I mean Casey speaking the word Jinn would be pretty cool
@@NoneYaBp did you watch this review yet? she entered the room where jinns lamp was held
She listened in on what they were doing when Oscar summoned Jinn.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that Hazel is basically the only male maide(not really) he's just an absolute beast. Chad Hazel
His semblance is one of the best alongside Adam
He really did showcase why it was said that Maiden's powers are just Dust without Dust.
lol "diet maiden"
@@sparknazo not really.
Sure it's helpful in the short term but he is going to die by the end of this fight. If not from Salem then it will be the dust he injected into himself.
@@sparknazo all it really does is just make him not feel pain. He's still going to experience the negative effects of injecting raw dust into himself and getting the shit beaten out of him by Salrm isn't going to help either.
“No more Gretchen’s, boy” love that line
That was a really significant line. Like that’s his deal for helping him. Hazel is a really cool character
his way of saying "promise me you won't kill anyone"
Jaune shows no fear. If he falls, he hopes to reunite with Pyra.
I- I hate and love this headcanon... I wanna write a fanfic now?
Oh no... This could be so accurate and it sounds so sad
You have no right to make me feel these things!
It honestly never crossed my mind that Jaime might have an actual death wish at this point. It actually explains his behavior. How he's so calm when around the team but as soon as he sees an enemy from Salem's faction he gets super aggressive. Like how he was ready to end Emerald regardless of the fact she was helping Oscar.
Given he's based on Joan of Arc... yeah
Bro Papa Hazel came through, this whole episode had me in tears 😭 the little smile Hazel gave to Emerald was everything. Pls let Hazel be Ok.
Hazel done, matter of fact , hazel is well cooked
This was a good redemption moment for Hazel, and has to be part of top 10 best moments of this season.
Neo Vs. Emerald. It's a battle of the Genjutsu users.
It's time for a magic off
It's a 'Stand' Off
No,i want to see
RUBY VS NEO
the is the reason why neo stole the lamp
Oh man of culture I see...yeah but I think Neo won't have a problem beating her at her own game.
@@laull530 maybe but will be a great battle beteween ruby and neo
You seem to forget that Huntsman extend their Aura to their weapons and armor. Jaune's shield isn't magic resistant, his Aura took the brunt of the blast via the shield and then broke when he slammed into the 'wall'.
@@hahmann It probably just heightens the resistance for his aura. Since that's essentially what they are designed to do. Spread impact force over a large, sturdy area so as to reduce the incoming damage by a significant amount.
Calling it now: Neo pulls out her scroll and plays a sound clip of Oscar saying "Jinn." To the lamp, and then communicates like she normally does.
Has been said in chat (but yes would be awesome)
But she needs to ask a question she can't do that unless Jinn can read minds.
@@ognjenradanovic1256 Jinn is literally a near omnipotent being, with functioning eyes and the ability to ask yes or no clarifying questions. I think she could figure out what Neo means if she were to, as an example, illusion herself into Torchwick and then inquisitively point to herself. She'd either be asking about what happened to him or where he is now. Neo has been communicating this ENTIRE TIME with charades and illusions, and changing that just because she needs to talk to the naked blue plot mcguffin would be weak writing.
@@BasilBard dude you are so correct this is exactly what I’ve been theorizing for two days
@@SaphirrWorks Hell! Neo might not even need a sound bite, why can't she just illusion herself into looking like Jinn and shake the lamp? It gets the point across!
I’m thinking Jinn can read thoughts and that’s how Neo can use the lamp
@@10tailedbijuu probably to find the truth about Roman
@@10tailedbijuu And what would cinder ask??, How do I get more power
@@ninjakick1375 How can I take Salem’s power or become stronger then her probably.
@@ventustbb3229 true... But it speaks in the past, not the future.
@@ventustbb3229 Well considering how the writers have just shit all over Salem character, that shouldn't be too hard for Cinder
So what I thought was interesting while watching is: I thought that Hazel was gonna get killed by Salem which would be highly ironic seeing as he is based off Hänsel who in turn burned a witch to death with his sister. Turns out I was wrong and he follows the fairy tale
Well, he might still be dead. I mean...that is a big bonfire he started
@@muchluck7981 I do expect him to be dead it just isn't by Salem's hands
Nah thats not how that story went
Why do y'all keep trying to change the story?The only person who has even burned the witch in any version has been Gretel
@@juicebox7372 yeah sorry I remembered it wrong but he kinda had to step in here seeing as gretel is dead
@@juicebox7372 I remember Gretel being the one who pushed the witch into the stove to cook her but it was Hansel who gave Gretel that chance to do so.
Hansel nearly died to give Gretel that chance to push the witch into the stove and thus it sorta can count as Hansel doing it.
I just had a thought. Hazel has fulfilled his fairytale role as "Hansel". While, yes, Neo has taken the relic of knowledge. I'm wondering if the last question will be asked by Emerald because of her role as "Aladdin". Jinn, whose based on "Genie", may play a more significant role to Emerald than the others.
Emerald: Jinn does cinder care about me?
Jinn: No move on girl
@@malcolmwhitehead1101 I know, right? I was wondering myself what kind of question Emerald would ask.
I kinda feel that there's a similarity in the struggles between Oscar and Penny right now. Each are dealing with losing themselves
Ozpin has had a horrible burden thrust upon him out of nowhere, and has had to come to terms with losing his individuality. He is different from the others, and feels the weight of the world on his shoulders. However, he has been able to directly confront the man who previously carried the same burden, and remind him of the simpler things he had long forgotten. In doing this, Oscar has grown beyond Ozpin.
Penny wants nothing else than to be considered a real person. Watts hack of her is her worst nightmares come to life. We will see what happens next, however, and I think by the end of this volume, Penny will finally regain control of her own soul for good.
Ruby, on the other hand, is a different story. The burden she wears is not just being the leader of the people closest to her, and not just the burden of having Silver Eyes... but also the burden of having the last name Rose.
Summer is described by everyone in Ruby's life as an amazing person, mother, and huntress. Qrow, Tai, and Yang have never once said anything even remotely negative about her. While on the surface that might seem like a reassuring thing for someone to hear about their mother, it does bring up some issues. The only thing Ruby has of Summer is a gravestone and the idea of the perfect person.
What no one seems to bring up is that this perfect person chose leave her family and go off alone on a mission, never to come back.
This person who Ruby has modeled her whole life after... what if she was wrong?
What if Summer Rose's choice to press on and ensure that her daughters would grow up without a mom was the most selfish and stupid thing that could have been done?
These ugly thoughts have probably gotten louder and louder in Ruby's head since encountering Salem in V7, and after seeing what Salem did to with the Hound...
Ruby will no longer be able to push all the bad down anymore.
Just had an idea, what i in the intro, the lyrics "some lives will end much too soon"` was mainly referring to Oscar and Ozpin merging earlier than anticipated?
I find it a bit of an oxymoron that she asks why he keeps coming back when her wanting him to come back is what started all this.
She's a hypocrite xD
@@PrincessLockette thousands of years apart will do that to you im afraid.
The irony is immaculate
"because you wouldn't let me dieeeeeeee!!"
Why questions of ozma
Why does everyone forget that text-to-speech on a scroll is a thing?
What is this text to speak you speak of
I thought of it as well
@@CatKun1234
You text………then the device speaks for you
Emerald has me the most intrigued after this episode. Not that she defected, but the fact that she is technically going against Cinder's goals by helping to save everyone. So if Emerald doesn't join the team, then maybe she'll either go after Mercury to get him away from Salem's side, or run right back to Cinder to do the same. And on a side note can we all agree that Salem somehow just got even more terrifying by beating everyone when she was missing a half a body for most of the final battle.
Hallucinations can affect any sense, I suppose Grimms negativity sensibility is a sense of kind and Emerald could have learn to affect it too.
Great review, and I'd like to say I'm happy to see someone reviewing RWBY that doesn't act like reviewing the episode is a torturous experience. Thank you for that.

@@omnidragon2260 Exactly who I was thinking of.
@@omnidragon2260 No truer words has ever been spoken, he is getting on my nerves, i unsubscribed him
@@emeraldmorgan6644 he's a douche now
I wonder how Neo is going to use the lamp. That’s gonna be an interesting development
When the episode ended I was so mad. I’m not ready for the next episode lol
Neo is going to sign/ask who killed roman and then leave salem's army and help team rwby
Neo's only question "How do I get my Roman back?" XD
@@PhoenixNight Most of fandom either wants Roman to be alive or already believes he is still alive
How will she speak to it though? She's mute.
@@PrincessLockette She will use sign language
9:40 Ruby and Jaune have that quality in common: unwavering optimism, however "naive" people perceive them to be.
Which is why they'll end up together 😉
@@10tailedbijuu that just seems weird because ruby is like 17 and oscar is 14 ... I know there could be a time skip to when he turns 18 or older but that’s still weird knowing that ozpin in inside of him
@@zionstreeve354 if oz and Salem pass on together somehow I could see it happening
However, Ruby is not that way anymore. She is very much slipping.
@@TheSilvershadow200 well yeah obviously she's gonna have a mental breakdown this volume
Well we wanted to see what Salem was capable of and boy did she deliver. Although her regeneration was quite unsettling. And FINALLY emerald grows a brain and defects.
The thing I noticed was how quick Salem is, she's floats around like crazy fast.
She is really fast! Almost like a ghost, I don’t even think we’ve seen her feet before..
Hopefully whatever Ozma did doesn’t incapacitate her for the last few episodes. Bc honestly that would be kinda lame. We need to see Salem do more b4 the Volume is up. Like this was obviously her time to shine :)
@@ventustbb3229 oh dont worry, that fire probably only knocked her out for like 2 minutes at the most. We're going to be seeing more of her in action.
@@ventustbb3229 Time to shine???, Salem just got screwed over by bad writing. Time to shine would of been Salam killing every single one of them. But what did we get instead, the pathetic Yang got her stupid kill shot , hazel was made to look super OP for his Redemption and Salem was made to look weak and pathetic just to paunder to a character called hazel who they messed up in volume 5.
I half expected Salem to answer to Yang..."Summer...her again, do you want me to take you to her girl?"
@@youareallbots7536 I'd like it better that way so far, but they've referenced her in too many climatic moments for her to be dead
**hound 2: good boi boogaloo walks in**
@@rillstracks440 Not to mention the hound was a silver eyed warrior too so Summer wouldn't exactly be the only one Salem captured if she did.
the question Salem asks Ozma and why he continues to oppose her
I think that Emerald will fit in with Jaune ,Nora and Ren more because Nora and Ren have more in common with emerald than Rwby does
Possibly, but Ruby is going to be mighty pissed at her for the stunt she pulled that led to Penny dying... and something tells me Yang might wanna use her as a new punching bag when she finds out Emerald is the reason she got humiliated in the tournament.
Just saying... better hope those two don't hold grudges...
I mean it depends because you have to consider 2 things: 1. Whether she stays with them or goes on her own, she'll very likely go to Vacuo to warn Mercury about Salem; 2. We don't know if Emerald still cares about Cinder because if she does, there's going to be some tension between her and the main characters, especially Jaune.
@@darknessrising2453
Penny didn’t actually die just shut down yang may be angry but emerald won’t care
@@davidgarrido5506
For all her friends knew, she was effectively dead.
And if Emerald wants to stay on their good side, she'll need to start caring.
Maybe it’s just me but thought it was nice that Yang referred to Summer as her mom, always thought that interaction between her and Raven back in Volume 5 would have had more emotional weight if during that talk Yang would have told her that Summer was her mother
Yang could also be unconsciously referring to Raven when she said “my mom”.
Well Summer is "super mom."
Right away I can see one of Salem's weaknesses. She doesn't even try to avoid damage and the eons of relying exclusively on her immortality means she is likely a pretty bad fighter from that perspective. She would've been dead at least twice in this fight without her immortality.
Exactly!! Thank you for noticing this. She's not a good fighter tbh. She was a princess her entire life not a warrior like Ozma. Then by the time she was free enough to train if she wanted to she got turned immortal. So why even care enough to try? If she turns mortal again she's dust. Hazel even said he killed her over and over when they first met. At first I thought it was because she let him to demonstrate her power. But now I'm thinking he actually beat the shit out of her and she realized she couldn't win so let him until he got tired.
It's called being nerfed and bad writing for the sake of the plot
@@kyngtruccie8817 in that moment Salem was focused on Em instead of Hazel so him catching her off guard can be forgiven and she thought Hazel was still on her side. And she beat Ozma when he came back an Ozma who is a trained warrior suer she regenerate from nothing but still she won.
@@queensalem2652 We've never seen her fight before so no, it isn't.
@@CwC2298 I like to think she beat him because they collapsed the castle on top of each other. That's how their children died after all. And Ozma was seriously injured and low on reserves of magic I'm sure. But yeah Hazel did get the drop on her. I was just saying that she simply doesn't care to fight like an actual fighter. She would rather tank every attack instead of dodge and counter. Wait until you run low on aura and then she strikes back. It's how she's used to fighting at this point. So I was saying that if she wasn't immortal then some powerful fighters could've taken her. Hazel being one, Ozma in their past life being another, and (in my opinion) Summer Rose.
Now we just need Neo literally stabbing Cinder in the back, then this volume will be supreme. I'm really sad about Hazel though, at least he died a hero.
Agreed
He dies a marytr.
I dont think hazel died
@@Jadechamberrr let's hope. But it seems like it.
@@Jadechamberrr True there was no confirmation, but I don't see how anyone could survive that.
They were not lying when they said this was going to be the exciting half.
I'm loving the second half!
*My brain can't handle this much sauce.*
How she mentioned summer rose makes her that she’s alive
I suppose she’s alive cause the eyes of the hound that were killed or at least the man inside were silver.... see where i’m going maybe salem is making summer rose the same kind of hound, and if i suspect that summer rose is a maiden, because cinder FALL is a maiden WINTER was supposed to be a maiden so SUMMER would be a maiden too( which is op btw) and exceptions for yangs mom cause she is the spring maiden that could make a pretty overpowerd half grimm..... maybe they will do that to pyrrha too
Also, I believe Roman is alive as well. There is one major hint that people haven’t realized but, I can’t really explain it over text.
Loved seeing Salem fight, finally get to see what she can do! Also I feel like Salem being burned is a reference to the Salem witch trials and to the story of Hansel and Gretel
That's what I was thinking!
Shame they nerfed her
@@queensalem2652 Nerfed? We never actually saw her fight before this. Plus, she looked pretty bored throughout the fight, she was clearly holding back because she didn't even need to use her full strength to beat 5 Huntsman (if you count Emerald and Hazel as Huntsman) and Oz.
Wait, if the cane stores time, what if the spell he used was just temporal paralysis? Literally just pausing them where they were while Oscar books it.
Well CRWBY said it does actually store time. So that might be possible
If Jaune didn't leave the Whale, maybe he could amplified Hazel Aura to heal him.
OML YES! But will it be enough?
@@Deltamore Through volume Hazel Aura has deal pretty bad wound like being stab by a Queen Lancer. Base on the fight with Salem, Hazel doesn't get internal damage beside head get smacked to ground and get choke by her. Also if Oscar magic just deal damage to Salem more than him, there is a chance Hazel survive by Jaune aura amp.
Looked like his Aura broke when he slammed against the wall from Salem’s magic attack. So he wouldn’t be able to do that. Doesn’t he have to make physical contact with the person anyways? Bc that’s not really possible in that situation.
Agh, I really hope so...
@@ventustbb3229 I believe Jaune's semblance works on people whose auras are broken, as when Weiss was impaled by Cinder she was blacked out and definitely could not manifest an active aura (also her aura was broken when Vyrnol blasted(?) her with her weapon). As for the direct-contact thing, yeah I definitely don't think Jaune will manage that...
I really hope that Team FNKI doesn't Die.
Same
To cool to wear helmets apparently 🤷♀️
That was just probably to show Team FNKI.
@@10tailedbijuu Marrow was talking about Jaune when he said "Come on Juan" remember he couldn't get his name right in season 7 and kept calling him Jean and Juan. 😂😂
I think in regards to Neo she will use the last wish to see what happened on the airship after she was removed from the battle. She will see that Ruby didn’t kill Roman, that Salem and Cinder are at fault. This might push Neo to be a 3rd party working against Salem or maybe come to terms with Ruby and work with her. As Roman’s right hand I think she would get more hate from the main group, Emerald might be able to bridge that gap.
Maybe the Penny and Neo theory can still be right in this way.
I think Neo already knew it wasn't Ruby's fault.
Neo knew that because Cinder employed Roman, he died.
I can't have been the only person who noticed Hazel shot-gun cocks his arms like Henry Cavill did in Mission: Impossible Fallout!
Some animators were like, "Hazel gotta go out like a badass...DO THE MOVE!"
YES DUDE. I thought that as well. I need an edit of the gun cocking sound effect on that scene.
Don't forget Hazel taking off his shirt like that feels like a big homage to a Yakuza final or near final rival battle. Its almost like that series way of saying one or the other is likely to die so seeing Hazel do it is one big power move of being willing to end his own life here to give them a chance to run.
This Hazel wouldnt of lost against Neo in the Phoenix Festival Tournament. Love the videos, keep up the great work.
I feel so bad for hazel T,T Also hazel and emeralds connection was so cute T,T it's like they are actually brother and sister.
Probably more like a quasi father-daughter relationship really. But yeah, the connection between them is nice to see.
@@drakeshadow7728 yea I meant like brother and sister. Emerald probably reminds him of gretchen T,T
Just noticed that the hands that Salem summons is the same one from the opening
Emerald defected I’m so happy. And they made it out. Volume 7 and Volume 8 have me so stressed out. I don’t want to see anymore of these characters die.
So much to talk about from this chapter. My favorite moments are that there is finally a confrontation/fight between some of hero characters against Salem, Summer is mentioned again which likely means more will be revealed about her soon (hopefully). Also Oscar is using more magic which was awesome to see. Hopefully we may see how much power he has gained and what his semblance may be, and hopefully there's still time yet before he fully merges with Ozpin/Ozma.
Yup
Hope he unlocks his semblance this volume! 🤞
If you ask ozma why I continue to oppose her. Because he loses patience with oscar, if the world is ruined it is his fault (salem) ozma is not arrogant.
with this ep and neo grabbing the lamp it brings me back to a clip from volume 3 where neo gasped when she got blown off the airship
My favorite part of episode 9 is punching Salem by Hazel and beat the crap of her.
Interesting read on the ending, I saw it a bit differently. I don't think we're going to see a Salem/Oscar battle, it seemed to me like Hazel had essentially done the equivalent of prime a grenade and was telling Oscar to set it off - presumably 'killing' Salem with a long enough delay so that he could escape before she gets a chance to come after them.
Most likely, since if that didnt happen and they had a prolonged fight oscar would've been completly engulfed by ozpin.
If the longest Salem was gone before regenerating herself was 2 hours, that left more time to set the bomb into the whale
@@PrincessLockette Yeah, the sacrifice that Oscar is making here - as I saw it - was the magic he's already used to defend his friends and the detonation at the end. He and Hazel are both sacrificing themselves (or, in Oscar's case, a part of himself) to delay Salem here.
Could be wrong, but that's how I see it playing out.
@@Haruspis7 Yeah, but Oscar will still be himself the next time we see him.
@@PrincessLockette He will indeed, but having used a large bit of magic here the consequence will probably be that he's lost a bit more of himself.
*Either Neo manage to get Oscar voice to say 'Jinn' while secretly record in her scrolls*
*now that would be interesting to see*
(How did I not think of this)
Scrolls most likely have Text to Speech functions also. So she could just type it... If she has a scroll I don't think we've seen her with one before. I can't remember
@@kyngtruccie8817 siri speaks to Jinn in really awkward slightly amusing robot voice: Dear Jinn, I want roman. Give.
My boi Oscar was amazing this episode I’m so proud of him 😭❤️
Cinder is going to be in big trouble with Salem, because of Neo and Emeralds betrayal
She won't return to Salem
Cinder is probably gonna betray Salem herself later on
She has Watts so she is neutral.
With a side of beatings
I still see a cinder vs neo or cinder vs emerald fight for them leaving her I'd be fine with either one
@@malcolmwhitehead1101 no no no I don’t want them to fight each other :(
I want Neo vs Ruby fight
I am excited to see what Emerald is going to do
i can't wait to see how cinder will react
People have been complaining about Ren being an " Emotion GPS" but I like it a lot because it's a change directly related to his character arc and He definitely seems to be more hopeful and expressive I'm looking forward to seeing Ren open up more to his teammates.
He's been through a lot without Nora to guide him. I hope he's realizing his emotions better now
I wonder how ren will react to seeing nora hurt as she is?
Ok after what Hazel did for Ozpin, he owes it to Hazel to not make that mistake he made with Gretchen again.
When Hazel bashed Salem's skull in ………that was a gruesome image
Edit: By the way Hazel fighting Salem here………I think that last question was used already and Neo is going into a place that's completely devoid of any value
I have wondered if the last question had been used already but in this episode, Jinn did ask if anyone had a question for her so I have to assume she still has that 1 left.
@@PhoenixNight she likely wouldnt have asked if she already knew there were no questions left...
So I'm glad neo will be her last question.
@@PhoenixNight
Now that I think of it
3 questions we've seen her be summoned 3 times
The first was when our heroes asked on how to kill Salem but then she answered by showing the past.
The 2nd time Ruby didn't ask a Question
Oh now I get it………Hazel didn't need to ask a Question to know the truth he just needed to Summon Jinn to know that fact.
Jinn does have that one question left or to be more accurate she has 2 left !!
Edit: Also I don't think Summer is ALIVE, if you look at Salem's face when she heard Summer's name that look on her face it says
"Oh………that explains it now"
It's the same as Terry Migginis verus Mr Powers in Batman beyond
Powers: "Why are you after me boy who did I hurt who did I have killed ?"
Terry: You killed my father
While in RWBY the scene is like
Salem: And what about you girl, who did I hurt who did I kill ?
Yang: Summer Rose !!
It's basically the same scene but Yang is more direct
I have a feeling that the stereotypical bomb malfunction will happen. Something or someone will damage the bomb. Someone will have to stay behind and detonate the bomb manually. I don't know who exactly, maybe Winter, maybe an Ace-op, maybe even all the Ace-ops. They will accept their feelings for each other and work as a team one last time to defend the bomb until everyone is out of the whale. That last theory is kinda a stretch, but I do think that the bomb will be damaged in some way and someone will stay behind to detonate it. And I have a sneaking suspicion it will be Winter.
So a Jorge from halo reach basically.
@@HaloCEJohnnoscope XD yeah, pretty much.
I hope winter doesn't die, but it feels highly likely.
@@rillstracks440 I hope she doesn't either. But I think she will.
@@rillstracks440 I hope she doesn't either. But I think she will.
When I watched this episode I thought that the crystals that Hazel stabbed himself with were Earth, Wind, Fire, Lightning, and Ice, so I was very confused when he created that Hard-Light shield (I thought he was using his aura to create that shield)
Also, I'd love it if we get to see a scene of Neo trying to summon Jinn without being able to talk, and her asking a question about who she should blame for Torchwick's death (and Jinn replying with something like "He's not dead" or "I can't answer questions about events that have yet to happen")
@@10tailedbijuu same. I enjoyed him too but he got straight up eaten by a Grimm. He ran his course wonderfully but he would be so out of place with the tone the show has evolved to.
Still gotta love the whole torchwick theory like even in the Ruby recapped for volume 3 he points out the Griffin bursting out the ship
Can we just appreciate how creepy Salem’s regeneration looks?
Not to mention she can still attack people before fully regenerating.
So a couple of points to set out. One hazel went out like a complete boss, no fear what so ever. I’m not going I lie that was pretty heartfelt to see. Hopefully this is it and he can rest in piece. Two emerald defecting will have a impact on both mercury and cinder. This may give mercury a reason to finally get away himself once he hears about it, if Tyrian doesn’t try and kill him. Cinder will most likely be punished for this, or something to that effect. Which would cause her to go and find emerald and then chaos. The wild card, once again, is Neo. We can infer that she probably asked Jinn a question, maybe in a scroll message or something. If she didn’t then she has one heck of a bargaining chip to use, for what we shall see, but I’m still hoping for her to defect as well, but time will tell on her, once again the wild card of the entire show. All in all I loved the episode.
Neo having the lamp will be interesting in the next episode, or in a future episode of volume 8.
I got it right he puts his hands angrily on Oscar's face because he wants to talk to ozma.
@@francescocappelli9071 What are you saying?
Honestly it makes sense for neo to end up with the lamp since she is the one who got it in the first place
@@malcolmwhitehead1101 Very true
Why did you grab the Oscar's face in anger? wanted to talk to ozma?
Wondeful video! I think neo may have taken the lamp, as Salem noticed it was gone almost simultaneously with Salem discovering our hunters and huntress. It will be wild if that's the first word she speaks, considering your idea for her orgin.
Otherwise, it's absolutely wild to see that magic vs dust battle, and I'm excited to see what The Long Memoery did with that stored time.
Also, go yang for getting the first kill!
Maybe Neo asks Jinn who is the real responsible for Roman's death
I've love that
Better question
"Where is roman Now" (or show hat)
(Cause if she finds out roman isn't dead she wouldn't know..., it's best to ask where is he rather than who killed him as we don't know if Neo found the body)

I'm Hoping Neo Is gonna Ask about Torchwick!!!
I loved that yang and jaunes personalities really showed forth in this episode with ren revealing jaune not having fear and the interaction between yang and Salem very small instances but very impactful. Aslo very glad yang got this type of screen time with her emotions rather than jokes and bumblebee cuz she my fav character. Still I loved this detail and summer rose being mentioned again. Asounding job this review.!!
I hope we get to see Yang's semblance evolve it seems like she's been given the short straw pretty much the entire series. Losing the arm, having her relationship with Ruby become nonexistent, giving up on Raven, she the only one who hasn't actually gotten an upgrade in her semblance. I hope she gets a huge power boost or something.
Has Blake gotten one?
@@rillstracks440- it felt like after she realized that bad things happening aren’t her fault her clone got better and look exactly like her.
Her relationship with Ruby is still intact. Things just hasn’t been all bright and good since finding out about the truth.
@@justynhill4814 ah, intriguing
Yang acknowledging that Summer Rose was her mom, her actual mom, and not Raven both warmed and killed my soul. Because we always heard about how Ruby suffered from the loss of her mother and how great of a motivation the woman was to her daughter...but what about Yang? We never heard how Summer Rose influenced Yang, even though she was older.
I would love to hear something from Yang either in telling Ruby directly or telling the rest of JNPR about how Summer was her mom. How Summer raised her when Raven chose to walk away. I would absolutely adore it.
Well 2 chapters and a new friend here in heaven/hell
Also quote "summoned the naked lady that is jinn"
Also Juan and YAM
Phoenix you have silver eyes
I took offense to that I was the first major death
Is it just me or when jinn comes out and asks Oscar if he has a question to ask does he do the exact same thing with his hands as phenix while explains stuff
“In terms of questions, we don’t have any questions.”
Am I the only one who noticed that Phoenix keeps on changing the RWBY character in his background?
You mean the figurine in the lower right corner? That's not a RWBY character. It's a Scathach (I think from Fate/Grand Order).
@@thundalations nah the one right next to him, in between him and the figurine. before it was always ruby, but I noticed it was weiss once and now blake.
Really interested with this volume, there's a lot of potential for these characters now and i'm hoping were able to see it this Volume. Volume 9 sounds so far away.
Also, I think Neo wants to find out, who's lying to her and who's telling the truth. But mostly, I want to see her in tears, on her knees, and Yang *almost* comforting her.
ah i see a baked Alaska fan
That would be amazing. I just want her to ask either "Where is Roman?" or "Who is lying to me and who being truthful?" and if the first question is answered, yes I want her crying and there being either nobody to comfort her, or. like you said, Yang somewhat comforting her or something. As a multi Galeto, Silent Knight and Baked Alaska fan, it'd love that

Hazel TWT he redeemed himself in my eyes!
Hope of Salem
But when Oscar attacked Salem with magic, she seemed to have been weakened by it.
Maybe that’s her weakness: Magic.
Tru
It's likely compared to everything else magic does significantly more damage to her
It makes sense. I mean why is she after the maidens? Because they're probably the only people can destroy her.
Ya
We already know that's not the case. Ozma fought her with magic in 6x3, and while he did manage to kill her, she reformed herself from nothing after only seconds.
Emerald was one of my favorites from volume 3(?) and her interactions with the main cast were really nice so I hope she joins up with them in some way.
Salem actually fought for the first time and wasn't disappointed much. I was quite pleased. Neo getting to use the lamp could be most interesting depending on her question. And overall I wish we got some more Summer Rose(The Next Hound) hints but nope. Salem's immortality was a bit boring, to be honest, and I wish it actually looked cooler but I'm fine with it. As the battle continues on into the finale all we're left with is Salem, Watts, and Cinder vs Team RWBY, Team JNR, The Ace-Ops, and the mad man himself Ironwood. To quote Alastor from Hazbin Hotel's Pilot Episode, "The world is a stage, and the stage is a world of entertainment.".
I think the same thing that happened with the seer grim happens with the rest, when Ren masked their emotions. I think the Grim sight may be emotion based. Because when Ren, Jaune, and Yang went over the cliff. The pterodactyl Grim most definitely saw them but when Ren masked their emotions it ignored them and flew right passed them.

**looks at hound**
**looks at Salem's mangled body**
**looks at WW1 trenches**
_"Is it not dark enough for you yet phoenix?"_
I think my position on Winter and Marrow's argument is that Winter is right that they need to do this, but for the wrong reasons. She brushes it off as "their duty" rather than taking any personal responsibility for the actions she's taking, essentially bringing back the things she talked about in volume 7 where she lets Ironwood make difficult decisions for her. She's not doing this because she necessarily believes it's the right thing, but because someone with authority told her to do it, and she's pretending that means she has no responsibility in the decision being made.
That is an interesting perspective and one I had previously over looked nicely spotted.
The fact that Yang was the one that brought up Summer as her mom broke my heart a little, not gonna lie. I love it though.
The quality of the last two episodes is expressed by the fact most comments on the site agree on it
We should research team names either for Jaune Ren Oscar and Emerald or Jaune Nora Oscar and Emerald as well, just in case.
Oscar juane ren and nora is ORNJ as in orange. But with emerald it could be ORNJE 😂
@@pyronickfang that's actually probably what it's gonna be tbh lmao
Why would you say something like that? 😭😭😭😭
I hope for Neo's sake that Jinn can understand sign language.
Also good on Emerald for finally seeing reason.
This episode was insane seeing Salem actually fighting and getting damaged and yang confronting Salem about summer is just great this means RT is gonna surprise us with summer or something I just know it
It's been a while since I saw the video, but I remember your Neo (Her fairy tail) and how she took a vow of silence etc. What if she breaks it this season. I would LOVE that because Casey Lee is her voice actress.
Me too
Neo has totally stole jinn!
For me the only characters who im stil invested in are Oscar and Hazel. Oscar always has the thought in the back of his head that no matter what he will be consumed by Osma. Either he goes to the after life, conscious but unable to act, or all of what he is as an individual combined with Osma unable to have his own afterlife. Hazel has been likable since day one. He hates unnecessary death which he displays to adam. He cares for others protecting Emerald who he thought might get punished because of cinder. He only hates Osma who from what I'm guessing gave Hazel's sister the Ruby special treatment causing her death which would be reasonable for him to get mad at.
ozma is much stronger than he thinks he could possibly explain to salem, the reasons why he was leaving.
Ngl, I know how oscar always wants to heroic or something but why does he always want to stay behind, he is just going to get himself killed if he keeps on doing this 😭
If I had been Emerald, I’d have straight up pissed my pants with Salem in my face.
Neo can talk, she just doesn't.
DUDE HER RIBS AHHHHHH. That hirts to watch
@@10tailedbijuu salems maybe...
And Neo will use the lamp password to trade for ruby life
Like your dialogues in the beginning of every episode
Don't let ironwood hear they have emerald. She is like a kos target. Ironwood would tell everyone to eliminate her on the spot
I cant believe that we 5 episodes still.... I cant imagine what's in store
Salem really pulled a scorpion with emerald lol. She turned to haul ass and was yoinked before she could take three steps.
I though it looked like she was channeling her inner Ultimate Venom but Scorpion's a good one too.
“So you decided to go against vengeance after all this time?”
“I’m doing what Gretchen would’ve done!”
btw that idea that neo might ask the question, "is roman a live or not?" is gonna be fire if it comes to fruition
I wish we got hazels backstory over cinder’s, then his sacrifice would hit harder if actually saw the reason for his resolve
We alright got Hazel's back story in Volume 5 though. That's where we learned about it.
@@Wildnose1337 I meant a flash back, minor mentions doesn’t really create that strong of a connection
@@JDWalker495 We actually technically don't know if Hazel died here yet. Oscar is not the type to kill Hazel to kill Salem. I think Oscar saved Hazel. Because even after Hazel tortured him Oscar couldn't leave him to die.
Man I was starting to worry, thanks for the preview and wonderful analysis as always. Love you man!
I don't think the fairy tale Oscar was telling is related to Salem. When it is mentioned the girl "brushed of her bumps and bruises, for nothing hurt more than the loneliness in her chest" and how the girl was not the same when she managed to return home, that actually sounds more like a person who went to war. They go in thinking one thing, but leave likely having lost so much.
