Do you guys never watch Anime with subtitles translated usuaully by Japaenese people or Japanese Studios? Like Naruto, Fate STay Night or Attack on Titan? If not -Blind Wave is missing out on the exact context, wording or inflection the scripts were actually written with. You should check out Tokyo Ghoul as well with subs.
You should react to the anime charlotte they have a english dub
Rick's slow realization that Cinder is based on Cinderella was the best.
at least he figured it out before ep 6...
@@TheMhalpern Yeah unlike me unfortunately
@@nathanielreik6617 Her thing with glass wasnt enough?
@@TheMhalpern Well all the talk about fairytale origins for characters was much more prominent when the show originally aired. People were crawling over each other to figure out who was based off who. It was a big fandom/community thing, if you didn't know that "oh everyone is based off a fairytale" you didn't really notice. I doubt many know the origins of JNPR.
@@HerculePyro I mean, maybe not exactly, but it´s not that difficult.
1 Joan of Arc is pretty obvious if you listen to the name.
2 "Valkyrie" + lightning isn´t exactly Thor, but at least it places you in north mythology.
3 Achilles is obvious after V3, and also if you recognize her name. But based on her armour and fighting prowess you can guess greek warrior right away.
4 I got nothing for Mulan, but then again I´ve never seen Mulan. (except asian hero?)
Lol, that “scrubbing the floors” reference had me dying with laughter.
Qrow did not cut off Tyrian's tail. It was Ruby. Also, I think Pietro said that if Penny dies again, HE won't have any aura left. He'll have to die to revive her.
I got the impression that Pietro currently doesn't have enough aura to revive Penny a third time. And even if he lost all his aura, I don't think he would die, it's just he would be as mortal as someone in real life.
@@R0bilicious no he would be a soulless husk, aura is the manifestation of a soul...
@@R0bilicious Oh yeah, Jaune didn't have, or at least use his aura before Pyrrah unlocked it right?
@@twilight_lupinesilva4691 He had it, he just couldn't use it to generate the protective shield or activate his semblance. Everyone theoretically can use aura and have a semblance as long as it is unlocked but people and animals all have aura.
@@TheMhalpern So when someone's aura breaks (aka they run out of aura), they immediately turn into a soulless husk and die? To me it looks like Pietro losing his aura would be like someone's aura breaking, but permanently.
Fun fact for the cinder-cinderella thing:
In volume 1 ep 1 when cinder first appears, you can actually hear her glass heels when she walks.
Her tattoo on her back is also based on two heels!
Plus in volume 2 dance dance infiltration she changed her dress with magic and had to be back by midnight from her mission
Yeah, Cinder's character allusion to Cinderella has had the following influences on her character and the story up to this point in the show:
-- In the Volume 1 Cast Commentary, it is said that the shoes she wears with her original battle outfit are made of glass. This is supported by the "clink" noises they make in the first episode "Ruby Rose". In the fairy tale, Cinderella wears glass shoes to the ball and accidentally leaves one behind as she leaves in a hurry.
-- Cinder has been shown to fight with glass, even forming most of her weapons out of black obsidian glass, and constructing a glass Black Queen chess piece to leave on Ironwood's desk last Volume in order to push him over the edge.
-- Her emblem is a pair of high heel shoes placed sole-to-sole, and is visible as a black tattoo on Cinder's back since she stole part of the Fall Maiden's powers from Amber.
-- In the Volume 2 episode "Dance Dance Infiltration", Mercury Black advises Cinder that she should return by midnight. As Cinder eludes the military guards after completing the hacking stage of her plan, she transforms her stealth outfit into a dress and leaves behind her glass masquerade mask. The clock strikes midnight shortly after she returns to the dance. This references how, in the fairy tale, Cinderella is warned that the spell that gives her a beautiful dress and glass shoes will wear off at midnight. She makes a narrow escape from the ball as the clock strikes midnight, accidentally leaving behind one of her shoes in the process.
-- Cinder shows a preference for fiery-type Dust and magic, despite her ability to control all the elements. In some versions of the fairy tale, Cinderella is a nickname given to her by her step-sisters as a means of mocking the cinders that would cover her clothes after having to sleep near the fireplace as a means to keep warm.
-- Cinder's weapon is named "Midnight", alluding to how, in the fairy tale, Cinderella has to leave the ball at midnight. Following Cinder's victory over Pyrrha Nikos, Midnight was never to be seen again, likening to how Cinderella hid after the bells struck midnight in the original fairy tale.
Glad to see you guys back at the RWBY reactions, enjoy the thrills, it's a wild ride so far!
Indeed
hi dan!
Indeed. Welcome back.
I would like to congratulate Emerald and Mercury on their first outfit change (If you don't count the dance in Vol.2).
Biggest F in the chat for Clover who died following Ironwood's orders because he "trusts him with his life" only to have Ironwood shoot 2 innocent people almost immediately after
Shouldn’t have become friends with a guy with such bad luck.
Just kidding of course, Ironwood was on his own path of failure, and anybody who kept to his side was betrayed and fell too.
what nationalism does to a mfer. Dude could have just chilled with Qrow, been happy, and used his amazing semblance to turn the tide, but he just couldn't.
Cinder makes glass and her tattoo is a pair of heels (glass slippers) put together vertical wise. V2 also had the dance episode where she had to complete her task by midnight.

Did anyone catch the meaning behind the the different leaves that each Ace
Operative and Qrow are placed on? In folklore, each of the leaves of a clover
have a special meaning. The first leaf (Elm) represents hope, the second leaf
(Vine) represents faith, the third leaf (Marrow) represents love, and the 4th leaf
(Harriet and Qrow) represent luck. Very intrigued with what that is
foreshadowing. Btw love your videos!
The first few notes of the song set the tone of the volume up absolutely
perfectly.
The swooping, desparate entry from the tonic to the 6th before partially
resolving on the 5th was beautiful to listen to. Casey nailed the interpretation
of the atmosphere the heroes are currently in. Love this, fantastic job Jeff &
Casey.
Another Patreon supporter noted this already so I'll just post it here:
Ruby Rose - Little Red Riding Hood (Wears a red hood, is first seen fighting
wolves, and is called Red by Torchwick.)
Weiss Schnee - Snow White (Her name means white snow, her leitmotif song is
called mirror mirror, and her necklace has an apple on it.)
Blake Belladonna Belle from Beauty and the Beast (Though in this case Blake
is the beauty and the beast. Her last name contains Bell, she loves reading,
and own a candelabra)
Yang Xaio Long - Goldilocks (In her trailer she fights Junior, based off of baby
bear, and a DJ wearing a bear mask. Yang first fights bear grimm. And she's
protective of her hair)
Ozpin - The Wizard of Oz (The Wizard's real name was Oscar Zoroaster
Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, which was
abbreviated to OZPINHEAD, or OZPIN, HEADmaster of Beacon)
Glynda Goodwitch - Glynda the Good witch (Do I have to say anything?)
Roman Torchwick - Romeo Candlewick (Aside from the name, Roman smokes
cigars, just like Candlewick)
Jaune Arc - Joan of Arc (Has similar names, and his arc is based on Joan of
Arc's prosecution by the Cardin of Winchester.)
Nora Valkyrie - Thor (Has a hammer as her weapon, is named for the Valkyries
of norse mythology, gets powered by lightning.)
Pyrrha Nikos - Achilles (Pyrrha was the name Achilles used in disguise, both
are said to be invincible, and ...)
Lie Ren - Mulan (Ren's design is very chinese inspired.)
Penny Polendina - Pinocchio. Her last name, Polendina, comes from the
derogatory nickname that Pinocchio's creator, Geppetto, was given, due to his
yellow wig bearing resemblance to polenta in the original story. Pinocchio is a
sentient wooden puppet and Penny's weapon is controlled by strings.)
Sun Wukong - Sun Wukong from Journey to the West (Are both monkeys, fights
with a staff named Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang, similar to the original Sun
Wukong's staff, Ruyi Jingu Bang, His Semblance allows him to produce clones
of himself. The original Sun Wukong could create clones of himself from
strands of his hair, In Volume 1, Sun identifies Blake as a Faunus right away.
This may be a reference to the original Sun Wukong's ability named "huoyan-
jinjing"), which enabled him to see through disguises and illusions. And he says
it'll be a regular Journey to the East in Of Runaways and Stowaways)
Cinder Fall - Cinderella (The shoes she wears with her original battle outfit are
made of glass. She has been shown to fight with glass. Her emblem looks like
two heels together. And then there's the events of Dance Dance Infiltration,
where Cinder goes to a ball and is advised to return by midnight.)
Neptune Vasilias - Neptune (Aside from the name, His family name, Vasilias, is
a variant of the Greek word Basileus, meaning "leader, prince, king or
emperor" and Poseidon is often called the King of the Sea. He also wields a
trident)
Mercury Black - Mercury (His weapons are worn on his feet, and his emblem is
a pair of winged shoes, which Mercury was known to wear)
Emerald Sustrai Aladdin (She has a vaguely Egyptian design. She is a thief,
and is called street rat a couple times, alluding to Aladdin)
James Ironwood - Tinman (Tinman's original name was the tin woodman, and
Ironwood is a Tinman, because he's a cyborg)
Neapolitan - Mary Poppins (it just fits so well with the umbrella motif)
Qrow Branwen - Huginn of "The Poetic Edda"/Scarecrow(Qrow is a crow,
and Huginn is a raven. Scarecrow is his role in the Ozluminati) and his weapon name is Harbinger.
Salem - Wicked Witch of the West (Is the main enemy to the Ozlumate,
who are all the Wizard of Oz heros)
Leo Lionheart - Cowardly Lion (Is a lion, and him betraying the Ozluminati
to Salem can be seen as cowardly)
Vacuo Headmaster - Dorothy (Pure speculation, but fits)
Oscar Pine - Ozma(Ozma was the wizard of Oz's successor, just like Oscar
is Ozpin's)
Summer Rose - Last Rose of Summer (Name, and her gravestone has a
quote from the poem on it)
Taiyang Xiao Long Chinese Dragon Lore (Taiyang Xiao Long literally
means Sun Little Dragon)
Raven Branwen - Muggin of "The Poetic Edda (Raven is a raven, and
Muggin is one of Odin's ravens. This poem is also written on the
chalkboard when Qrow is telling Yang about her)
Ilia Amitola - Kaan from the Jungle Book (Both are reptiles and are
secondary antagonists)
Sienna Khan . Sher Khan (Sher is the main antagonist of Jungle Book,
when Sienna is the (apparent) leader of the White Fang)
Ghira Belladonna - Bagheera (Bagheera was C mentor to the Mowgli in
Jungle Book, and Ghira was a leader to the White Fang)
Kali Belladonna - Raksha (Kali is Blake's mom, and Raksha is initially
known as "Mother Wolf")
Winter Schnee - The Snow Queen (Displays similar characteristics,
especially to Elsa, the 2012 Frozen interpretation of the Snow Queen)
Whitely Schnee - The Mirror (To his parents' evil queen)
Nicholas Schnee - St.Nick
Jacques Schnee (Nee Gele) - Jack Frost (Gele is German French for
frozen, so his name is literally Jacques Frozen, or Jack Frost)
Klein Sieben - The Seven Dwarves, ALL OF THEM AT ONCE (His eye color
changing personality thing enables him to be all of the dwarves, plus Klein
Sieben means "Small Seven" in German.) [Though I'm kind of sad because
I was really proud of my theory that Jaune's seven sisters would've been
the seven dwarves]
Marcus Black Mars (Name, and is the father of Mercury. Now in Roman
mythology He wasn't really Mercury's dad, but it has the same motif)
Henry Marigold - Neptune Vasilias (According to Erin Winn, he was
designed to be a distaff counterpart to Neptune)
Merlot - Dr. Moreau (Both are an eccentric doctor living on a remote island
and performing morally questionable experiments on animals.)
Creatures of Grimm - Brothers Grimm (The writers of many 'grim' fairy tales)
Shopkeep - THE CHRISTIAN GOD HIMSELF
I can post the rest of the cast as they are revealed. Glad you guys finally got to
experience this great show the best of the best.
I thought Emerald was based on the Emerald City in Wizard of Oz. In the book, everyone was forced to wear green tinted glasses to give the illusion that everything was green, including the food and clothing.
The most likely question Salem has for the lamp is how to obtain the Relic of Choice. Ozpin mentioned that retrieving that relic is uniquely difficult and Salem still has yet to find it despite having control over Beacon for ~1 year now.
Yeah, the scene heavily hints at this.....as she observes occupied Beacon Academy via WhaleVision(tm) while holding the lamp.
1:17 Eric: I challenge anyone to find fault in what we just said.
Me: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! @ 1:13 Aaron says " crashing to Earth ", but the name of the planet the show takes place on is called Remnant. SO YOU'RE WRONG, AND I WIN! But yeah, other than that, flawless recap.
I literally screamed in excitement when I saw this.
Me too!
I almost spit my food..
When I tell you I honestly gasped out loud and clapped my hands like a bubbly best friend in a teen rom-com.
I wasn't even expecting this for a few more months!
22:00
The tower is very near completion, and then all it needs is launch clearance. Ironwood, however wants to focus all of his time and attention on getting the city of Atlas to safety. He needs the winter maiden (Penny) to open the vault and get access to the Staff of Creation to move Atlas.
The Staff is keeping Atlas afloat. In order to access the staff, Ironwood needs the Maiden (Penny) So he can’t go anywhere without her.
They called it spear too, but it's a staff.
I wouldn't nitpic like this usually, but the spear is an other relic!
@@waszner Actually the other relic is a sword and I know. I just said that because it’s what they called it.
@@waszner
There is no spear. The four relics: Lamp of Knowledge , Staff of Creation , Sword of Destruction, and Crown of Choice. During "The Great War" WoR the King of Vale (one of Ozma's lifes) had the crown ,sword, and his cane during the final battle.
And by extension, the citizens of Atlas also can’t go anywhere.

This Volume has been great looking forward to the rest of the reactions from you guys
35:21 I don't know why but Eric's smile there gives me life
OMG GUYS!!! THEY’RE NOT READY!!!!
No spoilers.... Since the volume is still ongoing.... But this whole volume so far has been ominous.
This whole volume so far should be called "how do we give our audience a panick attack each subsequent episode?"
Fucking Hell the world is basically ending at this point
Holy shit, was not expecting this reaction to drop.
Glad to see you guys joining us back in RWBY. Also, can't believe Eric and Aaron recapped RWBY perfectly.

And then somehow beyond all odds, Re:zero actually won the poll lol
I just checked ur channel earlier to see if you'd reacted already, so this is clearly something I manifested and you should all thank me
I'm so happy Rwby back. This show still so amazing, and this season been awesome so far
Every single negative event in the entire series could have been foiled by
Wisdom, Courage, Power, and Creation.
Wisdom for Oz to trust his "children" with the hard truths. Courage to believe in
them to handle this and rise above it. Power to enable them a fighting chance
against the physically strong Grimm, but also Emotional Strength to sap the
Grimm of their primary power source. And finally, Creation, the most important
of the four, the ability to Imagine, Realize, and Create solutions and a brighter
future.
Think about it. RWBY is the "creation" of a single man, Monty, who had a
Creative dream he wanted to make reality.
This was realized by having the Courage to take a risk, quitting his other
projects to go all in and make RWBY possible.
In which he amassed the real physical tangible capital and creative talent to
provide Power to his dream project.
ultimately have the Wisdom, that he passed on, to all of us. He had no idea To
he would die probably, but with passing on his wishes, plot points, and
direction of his story to those he trusted, we still have a wonderful, ongoing
project that continues the legacy of his dream.
Its sincerely poetic genius when viewed from a far sighted thematic analysis
perspective :)
I love how good this show looks like damn and I need to rewatch the end of the last volume lol
Ironwood can’t fulfill his plan without penny getting him access to the staff since she’s the maiden, and he also wants to have her on the city so salem can’t get ahold of the maiden and thus gain access to the staff. He won’t launch amity because he doesn’t care anymore, he’s in doomsday mode.
Also an important point of confusion.
It’s not just a matter of pushing the button on Ironwood’s terminal and Amity will launch, Pietro is still putting finishing touches on getting it ready to launch.
There’s still a full day’s worth of work that needs doing.
yay glad yall are starting this before it's fully done airing!
This was such a surprise. I'm so happy
It's about DAMN time...happy to take this ride again.
"The Machine Lives, But the Man Dies"
Doctor Fate Injustice 2
Amazing 😂
Good episode
At this point in the series Oscar is 15, Ruby is 17, and the rest of the student characters are 19ish.
Oh no
I hear peopl6saying 6 months passed from the end of volume 3 to the beginning of volume 4 and Ruby turned 16, but the first 3 volumes happened during 1 school year that wasn't finished. I am assuming that's between 8 and 9 months....jump to the end of volume 5 where students he yet to start the new school year so we are just shy of 1 year since the show started....Volume 6 started 2 weeks after volume 5. Volume 6 to me spanned less than a month....maybe 2 months....Volume 7 to me seemed to cover no more than 2 months.....and we are in a volume that takes place over 2 days....I can't see Ruby being older than 16, then again maybe crwby has said how much time has passed...but I am guessing this whole series has spanned less than 18 months so far
@@jamesdalessandro8728 No Volume 1-3 takes place over 1 full school year. Ruby had just turned 15 when she enrolled in Beacon.
She turned 16 in the time between the fall of Beacon in the following Fall and team RNJR settings on their journey in the Winter.
The Battle of Haven in Volume 5 takes place in Fall meaning a full year has passed between the Fall of Beacon and the battle of Haven meaning Ruby was almost 17 at this point.
So logically she turned 17 most likely sometime during volume 7 because it is confirmed that at least a few months passed during the course of volume 7 (we don’t have a hard timeline but long enough for team SSSN to reach Vaccuo and the entirety of the canon books to take place.)
As for Oscar he was 14 when we first met him in Volume 4 when the rest of our heroes were 16 and 18 so he’s 2 years younger than Ruby and 4 younger than the rest. And he was still 14 at the end of volume 6 months later. It’s definitely an assumption but if he’s not 15 yet, he’s definitely almost 15.
@@cbhensoncbhenson5515 oh, had no idea....I thought it was 2 semesters not years.....thanks
Now that I think about how much time passed in the first 3 volumes it has to be less than a year. The exchange students came to Beacon for 1 semester and to compete in the Vytal festival at the end of that semester...We know that Penny and Sun came into the picture at the end of volume 1. Team RWBY were still first year students when they went on their field trip in volume 2 and The fall of Beacon happened at the end of Volume 3....all 3 volumes happen in their first year....Crwby may want to say they aged 2 years by volume 8 but that timeline is way off...unless a year goes buy from the end of volume 3 to where we are now. I don't see it but I will get on board with it.
In case you didn't fully hear Salem before the intro song Salem doesn't know how to use the lamp that's why she needs Ozpin.

How is it only now in this volume that people are concluding that Cinder is Cinderella?
Shes been referenced as Cinderella before, in volume 2 with the whole midnight thing and in the interviews they've had with the VA for Cinder (i know some people haven't seen those vids) where Miles and Kerry said they we're gonna have her named Cinderella as her full name.
Don't worry Rick, the Cinder = Cinderella thing hit me like 1-2 weeks before that reveal. I don't know why it took me like 5 years to make that connection....I guess I just never gave her backstory much thought and was more preoccupied with what Cinder's endgame was. But the signs were all there. Leaving the glass slipper before going to the ball (to escape pursuit), Mercury telling her that she'll be good if she returns by midnight.....
Indeed. Cinder's ultimate endgame is still in the works, and may yet at least rear its head by the end of this Volume.

@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain It just dawned on me that Cinder also weaves dust into her outfits. Could that be an allusion to Cinderella having to patch up her hand-me-down outfits?
@@jimmygreer6172 I think so, yeah.
Yes, I’ve been waiting for this to come back!! Glad you decided to join us, even if you’re a few weeks late.
For being gone for a bit, you guys did pretty good with the recap. Here’s some help though filling in some of the smaller things:
The relic in question (you keep calling them artifacts) is the STAFF of Creation. It’s locked in the Atlas Vault, only accessible by the Winter Maiden.
Neo has never met Salem until now, she only knows what Cinder has been telling her up to this point. It’s quite natural she’d be a little taken back.
Ironwood had his other arm replaced after pulling it through the hard light shield Watts trapped it in, while Winter is recovering from her battle with Cinder in which Penny ended up getting the Winter Maiden’s power. As Ironwood told Watts, “I will sacrifice anything to stop her.”
Qrow and Robyn were apprehended at the same time after Clover was killed. Qrow didn’t escape when Tyrian did; Robyn was taken as well, however she was unconscious for the entire fight and would not be able to tell anyone what happened.
And just like that in the past week I've binged back up to Voluma 8 - Volume 9 better shows up by the time I finish this! xD
Such a suprise! And i just rewatched your RWBY Combat Ready game night!

-- Cinder shows a preference for fiery-type Dust and magic, despite her ability to control all the elements. In some versions of the fairy tale, Cinderella is a nickname given to her by her step-sisters as a means of mocking the cinders that would cover her clothes after having to sleep near the fireplace as a means to keep warm.
-- Cinder's weapon is named "Midnight", alluding to how, in the fairy tale, Cinderella has to leave the ball at midnight. Following Cinder's victory over Pyrrha Nikos, Midnight was never to be seen again, likening to how Cinderella hid after the bells struck midnight in the original fairy tale.
HAPPY | HAPPY?
EVER | NEVER
AFTER | AGAIN
We're back bois.
Ironwood doesn’t use the spear, cuz only the winter maiden can open the vault
Holy shit, I forgot we were waiting on another season!
27:09 Calvin surprisingly has a good impression of Brice.
Really was looking forward to seeing more RWBY reactions. Great to see your back with this.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
I was just watching your other rwby reactions and this literally just came out 55 seconds ago goddd i'm so happy you didn't stop reacting to rwby 😭
Gunchucks (V.1 finale) came before Epic Food Fight (V.2 Ch.1)
I know they don't read comments but as a cool fun fact ironwoods semblance was revealed in a QnA session before this volume came out.
Spoiler warning:
His semblance is Mettle. It basically irons his resolve and makes him more hyper focused on his goals. Exact specifics aren't known and it's unsure if it will be elaborated on as the volume progresses.
Best line every volume? "RWBY WHEN?!" "RWBY NOW!!"
Last volume and this volume have just been giving me an emotional ass-beating
Gonna have an Avengers portal moment, well yeah there definitely were portals.
This is an amazing surprise!!!
Realizing that Cinder is Cinderella is so funny, i thought she was in season 2 during the dance. There was a scene when they were talking about her making it back before midnight and she said she would be watching the clock. And that her semblance is glass? Like the glass slippers. I didnt fully know but I had a hunch back then.
I loved how everyone started to shake their heads with beginning of intro.
we areee backkkkkkk boyssss
They’re back!
Well I mean.. you got the order wrong- food fight happens after gunchucks- but honestly I cant find fault with your reasoning
the beginning of this reaction was fire : code geass floor reference, cinderella, the whales... I can't X'D
I feel like Neopolitan could turn on "our" side somehow, at least I hope so ^^
What do you mean?
I didn't even expect this yet but I am not complaining.
It'd be funny if ruby called ironwood for help and all we heard from ironwood was a bunch of bleeps 😂
I really like the text at the end of the new outro
16:50 let's play "Guess Who's Injured Their Arm or Wrist Before!"
Rockin opening theme
"Feels more...Castlevania. I've never seen Castlevania.''
I read this as he said it.
In case you guys werent aware, this entire volume is taking place over the course of 2 days. Glad the RWBY reactions are back!
It's actually 2 days.
@@Axel_Kasai You're right, I didnt even notice I pressed the wrong key thanks lol
OMFG THERE BACK NOW YEEEESSSSSS
NOW RWBY!!!
Hell Yes! We Are Back!!
POGGERS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
This makes me so happy
Yes!!!!!
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Can someone tell me where its mentioned the staff of creation is floating Atlas.
This channel has came so far
Oh shit! It back!
I accept your challenge, Eric, and I find massive fault in your lack of Cinder Fall in your recap. 😂
Alongside Salem, Cinder Fall is one of the two main antagonists of the entire series, and the mastermind behind everything in the first 3 Volumes of RWBY, including the Fall of Beacon.
The reason why Salem didn't know about Neopolitan was that, throughout the first 3 Volumes, she was one of Cinder's own subordinates rather than Salem's, and Cinder does not tell Salem about everything regarding Cinder's own operations and sphere of influence. Neo helped carry out Cinder's plans alongside Cinder's other lackeys such as Emerald Sustrai, Mercury Black, Roman Torchwick and Adam Taurus. But outside of that, Cinder saw no need to let Salem know any more about exactly what and who she controlled than was necessary to reveal. Because, as shown in Volume 4, Cinder harbours a burning hatred of Salem.
In this Volume specifically, you'll need to pay close attention to Cinder Fall.
HOLY SHIT FINALLY!!!!
with such a big gap in episodes, I kinda forgot that this was season 8, this feels like it's a different season to the new eps omg
Nunchuck guns were in volume 1, not after the food fight
GIVE ME MY REWARD
Am i the only one thinking of Mountain Glen when she said the crater beneath mantle?
Woooo RWBY pogs
Could someone please suggest for them to watch Phoenix's recap series of RWBY? I think they seriously need it and it's super informative! Might be too late now but might be a good primer for next year at least? - Also yay return of RWBY reactions, I was not expecting them this early! - Also apologies if anyone else has suggested this and I've not seen the comment.
Is the season done yet last I checked I think they were only eight episodes out ?
It is not done. Second half just started airing. I am suprised that they started it too
Ah OK cool cause I’ve been waiting for the season to finish so I can binge it
There was a mid-season break after episode 7 I think, but it came back last Saturday
There's only really been 3 permanent costume changes, so it's not like they're doing it to "sell toys" at all.
Well they assumed they were getting new outfits when Pietro said he had new tools for them. I'm not sure why they thought that, but they did. And that would mean two changes in about a volume, so I see why they talked about it
If I remember correctly, the initial purpose of the costume changes in Volume 2 was to give the cosplayers more to work with.
@@MasterPoppers I buy that. Sounds like something Roosterteeth would do back in the day
I cannot deny Eric's logic. 😀
Never been this early
YES!!!!!!!!!!
LETS GOOOO!!!
Nun-chuck guns come before food fight actually.
WOOO!
Amity arena is not finished for launch so Ironwood said "fuck it"
So just for a reference point I believe Oscar was 15 when they met
YAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!
Yessssss
100% said factual things
It took emerald way too long to realize cinder didn't care about her.
How tf have I missed these....
