The worst part is that Volume One Ruby technically right, Ruby could just walk away. Abandon everyone and everything and just focus on her own needs and desires. And that makes things worse seeing as she was close to doing that, just let it all go.
@@Ba1TBut Alyx was badly influenced. By the end she had change of heart and wanted to undo the damage she had caused. But the Cat saw that as betrayal.
Man this hurts. Ruby was consistently the ray of sunshine in this series and here she’s on the verge of giving up on everything. I really hope she gets her much needed group hug from the gang and gains her semblance upgrade like the others just got.
@@anaemiliaalmeida7238 agreed but at least they’re tackling Ruby’s demons now that the other 3 have had their arcs. My bet is it’ll happen after we hear the chilling “leave Ruby behind” line they had in the trailer Honestly I’m wondering what Ruby will gain from her awakening cause like Weiss her semblance is pretty unique and versatile already.
@@anaemiliaalmeida7238 well keep in mind the other three already went through their character arcs in previous volumes, now it’s Ruby’s turn to go through hers which was put off because of her silver eyes training and directly going to war with Salem. It really sucks seeing her so defeated like this but I’m confident she’ll bounce back once her friends and sister give her a MUCH needed group therapy talk. I’m just anxiously hoping they don’t Put this off and wait till the last 2 episodes cause seriously she needs a hug asap.
We don't know the herbalist end goal. The cat was really adamant about ceasing her from seeing that conclusion. IT could be for nefarious reason but I highly doubt he is banking on her depression atm
@@kevindolan9 When I said can't say the same about the rest of the team, I meant it would've been more impactful if they were aware of the repercussions and took responsability for the damage they had caused. Instead, their whole "I know who I am" speech just comes across self-righteous and narcissistic which screams "It's all about me".
Interesting how the first part of the conversation is basically the same talk she had with Torchwick in Volume 3 The old ruby is still telling her about this romantic version of being a huntsmen and always saving the day and helping everyone. Meanwhile the modern Ruby has learned the same lessons that Roman had and understands that the world is cruel and not a fairy tale
This is heartbreaking. Here’s my resolution, what I would tell her…. 💩 happens. Sometimes people die, make the wrong choices, or we simply fail. Pyrrha rushed in blind, Penny put herself and the relics at risk, and Summer challenged Salem. They knew the risk, what was at stake, and fought. It was their best. Your best. You never gave up on people. Not when Ironwood went screw loose, not when Grimm flooded Beacon, not when you learned Salem couldn’t be killed. You’ve been a guiding light. hope. Perhaps it’s time you found your own guiding light. After all, we’re only human. No one ever said it would be easy, nor without hardships. No one is infallible, no one is without fault. Anyone saying otherwise is really selling something. But I find people in these situations can find hope in anything or anyone. You give that up, then Salem’s already won. Don’t give up. And don’t let yourself carry it all on your own. And never lose sight of yourself. (wow. that was more emotional than I thought. I should be a writer.)
"War changes people. It makes them think back and question the choices they’ve made." Weiss, Blake, and Yang were able to face their inner Demons. Unfortunately for Ruby... She’s on her knees, defeated, broken, and on the verge of losing faith/hope. The shame and guilt on her face after losing so many. She's beginning to understand the true meaning of Suffering. But that's technically a good thing. Ruby has every right to question other people's choices and also has every right to question her own choices. She's growing up. Ruby’s starting to understand that everything in life is unpleasant, everything about life is suffering. That's the Truth. We've all been through there We all fail, we all make mistakes, it's what makes us human.
Finally, some character development Ruby desperately needed! It's a shame I can't say the same about the rest of the team, despite coming to terms with their identity, it would've been more impactful if they were aware of the repercussions and took responsability for the damage they had caused. Instead, their whole "I know who I am" speech just comes across "It's about me"!
Not "everything in life" is unpleasant. That's an overly pessimistic view of the world. Joy, happiness, love, etc. Positive emotions and positive feelings. They all exist, you can't deny that. As does beauty in nature/the world around us. Yes, suffering, death, torture, brutality, ugliness, trauma, disgust and injustice also exist, but these elements co-exist. It's not completely one or the other.
Using S1-3 design, the one everybody likes and compares current Ruby too, as an evil manipulative double who doesn’t understand the "zomg intrigue". *_Subtle._*
This scene and how it ended made me very suspicious of the Curious Cat and what his intentions really are. Why did he stop Ruby from giving in? Was it for her sake, to keep the story going, or for some other unknown reason?
I’m curious about that too… cause a small part of me wants to believe that the curious cat wants at least Ruby to gain some sort of resolve or inner strength
Even if that’s the case she still loses, I mean think about it. When have the brothers ever given her what she truly wanted without torturing her in some way? Especially after she declared war on them? If she summons them back I guarantee you they’ll come up with another method to screw her over even more and even if they destroy the planet how does she know that’ll kill her? Remember she was disintegrated with Oscars attack in the whale. There’s honestly a very good chance she’ll end up like Kars from Jojo if she gets what she wants.
this arc proves how utterly useless WBY are like Ruby has been cheerleading everyone for 8 volumes and when she needs alittle hope her own sister cant even see shes in struggle town nooooooo to busy trying to get into her cat waifus pants
I have big hopes they'll be getting a redesign considering how significantly different everything is. The location, the theme, and most probably the state of where the characters are. I mean a design reflects the character most, so i'm expecting that we will be moving on from the Atlas-trained Battle-ready Ruby to something that fits more of her currently... and let's be real, going to Vacuo in an attire that's specifically made for dreadfully cold weather is going to be a big pain. But it's just my hopes.
@poorsmolchildissmol4037 yeah I just hope they don't make them look even more stupid ( mainly Weiss ) she looks so outta place from everyone else for 2 volumes.
I’m so happy she’s getting some development. This seems like the healthiest way to go about it for her and I know that she’ll make the right choice in the end. That’s what makes her Ruby!
she got sprinkles of it in season 4/5 and 8 to my recollection, albeit a few brief moments it did note her starting to crack and then masking it behind her cheery side. this is just the edge of a total depressional break, small rose bean needs a goddamn hug and a half
Ruby needs to face the music and find the resolve within her. If she can't find the strength no matter the odds, then she will continue to struggle and be weak. Which Salem will take advantage of that.
Season 2 Opening song comes full circle with Season 9: There's a point where it tips - Betrayal of Cinder and others she thought of as friends There's a point where it breaks - Death of Pyrrha and Penny There's a point where it bends - Finding out the truth about Salem And a point we just can't take anymore. - Ruby questioning her own existance. So many characters had their development over the course of the show, but Season 9 was Ruby's turn to become something more.
This scene breaks my heart for Ruby. And the worst part is...everything that has happened on Remnant is basically true. Two of the four Relics are in the wrong hands, Salem is closer to achieving her goal, and it all comes down to the outcome of Volume 10. Will there be a Rosegarden? Can Ruby master her Silver Eyes before facing Cinder in all-for-nothing brawl? And most importantly, what's to become of Raven while she's still hiding out and in full possession of her Maiden powers? And speaking of which...what will it take for Cinder to die when the Maiden powers are transferred to another host?
I haven’t kept up with rwby for various personal reasons, but that honestly sounded more motivational than it was made out to be? Am I getting some context wrong or something?
I wish for Ruby to gain her confidence back and continue to help her friends save the world and its people. Ruby, if you can hear me, then listen. Don't lose hope. I'll pray for you and your friends.
Oh wow, they finally did some introspection, it's just.... Several years late.... WAIT SEVERAL YEARS? HOW LONG HAS THIS SERIES BEEN GOING? I THOUGHT IT WAS SEVERAL DECADES WITH HOW SLOW OT WAS, WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S BEEN LESS THAN ONE?
You'd think they would have used these scenes to be like 'yo you destroyed altas and performed actions hat directly lead to thousands of people dying'. But that would require the writers to have common sense.

Ruby learning the hard way what all of us had to learn eventually: that becoming an adult doesn’t mean you have all the answers now.
The worst part is that Volume One Ruby technically right, Ruby could just walk away. Abandon everyone and everything and just focus on her own needs and desires. And that makes things worse seeing as she was close to doing that, just let it all go.
like her step mom.... right?
It's Like Alyx she also left everyone or just used them.

Hearing Ruby say “life isn’t like a fairy tale” just broke my sensitive heart 😭
She just sounds so broken throughout this whole scene.
I wish it was a fairy tale. I keep imagining another life, another world. And so many times i wish i could permanently live in it

I don't get. Are you saying it's some kind of jab?

DO YOU FEEL LIKE A HERO YET?
Martin Walker practically wrote the freaking Bible when it comes to having good intentions but terrible consequences.

Maybe he wasn't necessarily doing it to help ruby but stopping the herbalist from doing whatever he was doing because it wasn't his purpose?
What I take away from this is Salem will win the end.
Nah they're gonna power of friendship the ending
@@DJPrimeAmvs unless salem has a way to stop the power of friendship, or to mute the opening

Would have been funny if old Ruby was like
“Oh and one more thing… switch back to this outfit that one you got on ain’t workin’ at all.”
The old Rwby designs *( talking about the outfit and hairstyle )* I think is better tbh can't believe I miss the more simpler look.
