I always got the impression that Oobleck didn't ask Ruby because he realizes that Ruby already knows exactly why she wants to be a Huntsman. She's clear on her motivations on the whole thing. The others needed the question so that they could reflect and refine their reasons.
***Bit of spoiler*** I would have love an interaction between Oobleck and Yang were Yang asks him why he didn't ask Ruby: Yang: "why didn't you ask my sister why she's a huntress?" Oobleck: "You see Ms. Yang, any experienced Hunter or Huntress worth a dime would see right away in Ruby's eyes the reason she's a huntress. You'll understand in due time" Yang would misinterpret it as "any experienced hunter can see Ruby's motivation/determination" but Oobleck actually meant "any experienced hunter knows what those silver eyes entails, and it's almost like her being a huntress is pre-destined" That would have make the reveal later a lot cooler.
@@RafaAnto Spoiler........ It's possible that Oobleck is also aware of a certain capability that Ruby has. Thanks to a little mention from Ozpin. Who believes that people with Ruby's capability were 'destined to become warriors'. On reflecting back on these earlier volumes, it is clear that Ozpin favored Ruby because of those capabilities that he knew would blossom one day. That's why he let her into the school early. That's why he kept an eye on her during the trials in V1. And of course bent the rules to let her and her team go on a more advanced mission with Oobleck. I think Oz had previously let Oobleck in on a few things about Ruby. That might be why he didn't feel a need to "interrogate" her. At least that was always my head canon.
My favorite was actually when Oobleck told them in the plane that he'd "had [his] fair share of tussles." Ruby: "Like the mushroom?" Blake: "Those are truffles." Ruby: "Like the sprout?" Yang: "Those are Brussels." I think that's one of the best jokes in the series. Then there's Ruby trying to tell Zwei to "get back in the bag," even though he's been found out. Then there's Oobleck talking about the Grimm pack. lol There were a lot of fun jokes in this chapter.
"How long do we wait?" "It's uncertain. Hours, days, weeks...lone Grimm have been known to stay isolated from the pack for months andthere'sthewholepack." I laugh every time, just a good joke with a great delivery.
That's the scary thing about Grimm. Not only do they get stronger the longer they live, they get smarter. And there is nothing scarier than a killing machine that is smart and learns.
i feel like it wasnt necessarily about having the "right reason", because blakes reason was pretty noble. She wants to stop injustice, but cant really say how being a huntress helps her achieve that goal. I like that the characters had their motives questioned without being judged as incorrect. they themselves chose to think deeper on it instead of being told to
It's a shame we don't really see much of Oobleck in this series - this was the episode that cemented him as one of my favorite characters, particularly from the answer he gave Ruby when asked why he became a Huntsman. Powerful stuff.
I love how this episode brought more depth into the characters and not judging a person by appearance. I love it when shows have those philosophical and meaningful episodes. Can‘t wait for more!
Agreed. Love the depth in the RWBY episodes and how they really build the characters instead of just giving us a bunch of action all the time. But when the action comes it’s fantastic 🤩
Oobleck didn't ask Ruby why she wants to be a huntress because unlike the others protecting people IS her reason, she is the epitome of what a huntsman/huntress should be, the type of person who will save someone w/ out a second thought or a moments hesitation.
As recalled in World of Remnant, one of the most dangerous characteristics of the Grimm is not just that they grow larger and more powerful as they get older, but also more intelligent and experienced, forming a sense of caution and self preservation that makes them know when they are outmatched and are willing to fold so they can learn from their mistakes and helps them think outside of the box to get around foes they could not easily overpower which makes them all the more dangerous as a result.
I always smile when you guys sing along to the opening. One thing I find interesting, is the fact they have Brussel Sprouts. Not because they exist, but because they are called Brussel Sprouts. As they were only named such because they were originally grown in Brussels, France.
Oobleck didn’t ask Ruby because she already gave her answer the night she met Ozpin. He was asking the rest of the team because they need to know themselves why they want to be huntresses. And with what he said about some Grimm being smart is what makes them more terrifying.
It does bring loads of wonders on what Professor is thinking of the team, as he seems to be a very chill guy that have a respect for each student he comes across. So I can’t wait for him to see his students grow to the fullest penitential out there 😌
I always took Weiss' becoming a Huntress as a sign of rebellion against her family. As Oobleck says, she could have taken a cushy job in Atlas helping run the company. She didn't even sign up to her local Huntress school in Atlas. Instead, she signs up halfway around the world.
Spoilers for Weiss's family background.... I thought that also, then realized later on its to uphold her grandfather's Huntsman legacy (the true Schnee legacy) over what her father turned it into.
In order to answer the question of "Why did he not ask Ruby why she wants to be a Huntress," You first need to answer the question "Why did he ask the others?"
@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Honestly, the most impressive thing for me this episode is the fact that you guys can understand Oobleck at all. Iswearthatman'ssemblanceistheabilitytotalkatamillionwordsaminute and I legitimately cannot understand a word he says.
Here are the lyrics if you really want to sing along with the intro: There's a point where it tips There's a point where it breaks There's a point where it bends And a point we just can't take Anymore There's a line that we'll cross And there's no return There's a time and a place No bridges left to burn Anymore We can't just wait with lives at stake Until they think we're ready Our enemies are gathering The storm is growing deadly Now its time to say goodbye To the things we loved And the innocence of youth How the time seemed to fly From our carefree lives And the solitude and peace we always knew
I loved how the Goliaths are presented as terryfing creatures not just by their size and strenght, but for the notion of being slightly smarter than the other monsters, and that sinister "if they are not attacking, what are they doing so close to the borders then?" "They are waiting" then one Goliath see them, and just keep walking, uff, that's terryfing indeed.
12:27 god this lesson being taught really makes me wish RWBY took this information and Used it in future Episodes. To some extent she does, and in other cases she really doesn’t tell anyone else what she remembered him telling her! More time could’ve been spent on developing this mentality.
2:10 Give him a chance, Ruby. He may surprise you. 3:22 And in many fanfics, that’s a joke that often gets expanded. 4:20 You have NO idea how true that is. But you will. 4:48 Always look for loopholes! ☺️ 5:25 Don’t push it, Ruby. You had A good idea. 9:56 Sadly, they were. Those were juvenile Nevermores. You probably remember the full-grown one from initiation. 11:00 Look carefully. Those Grimm, Goliaths, are literally taller than the surrounding forest. They’re on par with the giant pachyderms from Lord of the Rings. 12:29 Turning it around. Clever, Ruby. 14:30 He didn’t have to. Ruby’s motivation is very clear: to help people.
There's actually a RWBY game called Grimm Eclipse that takes place between Volume 2 and 3 and Mt. Glenn is one of the levels. I don't remember whether or not it's canon.
I've said it before, elsewhere, but I always feel like Ruby's final line in this episode perfectly describes her philosophy on life.. at least, at this point in her life.
Yeah, Oobleck is awesome. I think another reason he asked was so that the team could self reflect and figure out if being a huntsman really is for them. It would be a shame for them to go down the road and get bored or resentful towards the job and just "give up" because it's no longer aligning with why they became huntsman in the first place. That's my take on it, at least. To have them identify if those shallow or idealistic reasons are truly the only reason they came to the school.
If you want to learn the opening song it's available on Rock Band as DLC. Just plug in a mic, start singing and realize Casey gets really high up there and have trouble singing the chorus XD
Asking Ruby why she wants to be a huntress would be like asking LeBron James why he plays basketball, or Tiger Woods golf. Ruby is so gifted at fighting Grimm, and pure-hearted, it's obvious to anyone who sees her in action that a future as a huntress is her destiny. That's my take, at least.
Yeah, but once you learn all the lyrics, you'll laugh every time you hear "our enimies are gathering" and Junior is in the shot. Enemy? Please. Yang uses him as a punching bag.
I'm glad that you are putting attention to the lyrics of the intro, this song hits way more harder after volume 3 "Now its time to say goodbye, to the things we loved and to the innocense of youth" 😭💔
My favorite thing about this episode is the title. It's called "Search and Destroy" and I can't help but thing of the Metallica song "Seek and Destroy". Idky lol
The question no one can or wants to answer is the why ...... because somes why's is not enough to do things.....so 2 questions if you guys don't answering....why responsd to comments that you do nicely and do reactions....i must know
We respond to comments because we appreciate people taking the time not only to watch our videos but also to reach out and chat with us. We learn so much from the comments. The wealth of information people have on the show and maybe a different take on something that we hadn’t thought of. Other times it’s just nice knowing people enjoy our videos because it makes us feel like what we do has a positive impact on someone’s day. The reason we do reactions is because we are creators and entertainers at heart. We met doing a play together and started a TH-cam channel to just be creative. Reactions are what people wanted from us and something we enjoyed so that’s what ended up happening. We actually never set out to do reactions. It just naturally evolved that way 🙂 Thanks for taking an interest in the why 😊
I really didn't get the impression that Ooblek was judging anyone's reasons.... I think it was more about getting them to think about their reasons. deciding that a reason is good or bad is really not the point IMHO. any of their reasons occur as worthwhile reasons to me.
I may not be a fan of history since it has its..... tragedies but i suppose without history 1 can't gain facts nor learning....mistakes and glories alike.....more importantly....what must be repeated and what must not
You should play RWBY: Grimm Eclipse. It takes place in between the events of the ending of Volume 2 and the beginning of Volume 3. And Rooster Teeth announced that it is canon.
Again not to push you guys but this is definitely the time where you 2 should think about doing 2 episodes per videos to just get the full picture of most things moving onwards :)) ❤️
This question has probably already been asked but what are the chances of getting into red vs blue, they released the seasons on their on videos so it’s easier to watch
Hopefully you saw our post yesterday. Vox Machina is coming to TH-cam Monday February 13th. Early access patreon reactions this Tuesday 😅 Dragons!!!! 😁🥳🥳
