Over the years, however, many members began to favor violent and extreme tactics in order to demand respect from the humans of Remnant. Though Blake Belladonna eventually decided to leave the White Fang and its growing acts of terror, not all of her friends made the same decision.

    I can understand why Ilia hates humans. Her parents died in that explosion and her human "friends" laughed at their death. Even if you didn't know they were her parents, who laughs at something like that? This is the first time we've actually been shown how deep the racism runs in this universe, and it really is starting to make sense why they go to such drastic measures.

    • @naconaesmith5965
      @naconaesmith5965 7 ปีที่แล้ว +167

      I agree, but I actually think racism is only a small part of why her "friends" laughed. It's not just that they're different in terms of race, but in terms of class. Ilia's parents were menial laborers, the low people on the totem pole. You know, the people some of the "higher" ups like to pick on to justify their "superiority".
      It's like with Cardinal's bullying. Sure, he bullied Velvet for being a faunus, but he also bullied Jaune (Not a faunus). Cardinal bullies anyone he can. He uses people's differences (e.i. race) to fuel his insults. He's looking for any reason, not just race, to put his target down. Cardinal is a racist, but he's a bully first, if that makes any sense.

    • @sup4744
      @sup4744 7 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      It was about race. They literally talk down on Faunas all the time. Faunas just so happen to be "poor" in this case.

    • @risgord6990
      @risgord6990 7 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      When do they, by which I assume you mean the characters in RWBY as a whole, talk down about Faunus? Disregarding Cardin and his team, Roman, Emerald, and Mercury, who are the villains and do nothing but bad things to everyone all the time. When have we ever seen someone talk down to or about the Faunus besides Weiss? Who while not justified, had an understandable reason to hate the White Fang and distrust Faunus.
      Note she didn't hate Faunus she hated the White Fang. Other than her, we have seen zero examples of negative talk towards Faunus until this short.

    • @naconaesmith5965
      @naconaesmith5965 7 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      William Timms- That's a very good point. I just assumed that there was different levels of racism in different places. It was the only way that I could justify Blake's reluctance to reveal her cat ears when most people actually seemed like they would be very chill about the subject. I thought "Hmm...she must've come from a land with a much higher racial tension".

      Joseph Burger Volume 4 was a well written and important part of the story, we needed it to slow down a little after everything that happened in volume 3, and volume 4 helped to adjust us to the series having a darker tone from here forward. I'm sure Volume 5 will pick up the pace again though. Btws, as a Halo fan, I completely agree with your assessment. We need Bungie back.

    Blake's moral compass has been compromised. I get why people say she hasn't had any character development is because she's experiencing a stump. She's run back home, hoping to escape some of it, but it backfires on her when the White Fang still come for her and Sun. I pity Blake truthfully as a character because she's torn between fighting for her friends against people she once called friends. Sure, Blake should be enraged that White Fang attacked her friends, murdered Pyrrha and blew up the school but I guess she feels small in the grand scheme of things. She was torn whether her actions would make any difference as things become bigger than they already are. So its definitely a slow burn for her growth arc. Then sweet Sun smacked sense into her and tell her to do something rather than nothing because neglect hurts more than hate. Her story's complicated with the White Fang and her loyalty in question tbh. I curious to how she'll grow out of it, actually because Blake is not an idealist like Ruby. She still doesnt know herself very well so it'll be something to what Blake chooses her decisions in Volume 5.

    • @ellaw7980
      @ellaw7980 7 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      ocadioan I really hope so too. You can see the way ilia influenced Blake as a character. Blake probably got the idea to go to beacon while passing as human from her and this adds more depth to her saying "I want people to see me for who I am not what I am" Ilias story shows that many humans can't see past people being Faunus.

      A lot of Blake's story is how much she's let other's ideals and creeds knock her off having any sense for what she's willing to fight for, so yeah its an Illya short but I figure it came around to being about Blake the moment she let the fact that it was Illya stop her from pursuing any further

  • @stephsdlnthms3957
    @stephsdlnthms3957 7 ปีที่แล้ว +73

    RT did this short the way they did so that we can understand Blakes connection to the White Fang through a positive connection. I mean, so far everyone from the WF have been bad guys. Even Adam. Ilya is someone you can understand a little better, especially if you've ever been someone whose hidden something so they can blend in. Poor kids in rich schools, LGBT kids in some cases, even some immigrant children would understand this. So now you have someone in the WF who you can sympathize with, and understand Blake had friends there she could relate to (in a way she can't with the girls in RWBY). And I think it's important to understand that, when you consider that Blake is suppose to be turning herself into the leader of the WF.
    Also, why the heck was Blake and Sun tracking that faunus (surely he's not just some random WF lackey)?

      Likely. She only had one "fight" in Volume 4 and it was a simple sparring match with Taiyang, so I'd expect her to get the same treatment Weiss did. We do need to see how she's adapting to only having one gauntlet since her new arm doesn't appear to have any built in weapons.

      McZombieFace I always figured Qrow was the "Scarecrow with no brains" because everyone thinks he's stupid (mainly seen in volume 3). And he wouldn't be the leader of Vacuo because he works at Signal Academy (or he used to). I might also be wrong though, because they might want the people 5 people who work at the main 4 academies to be 5 characters from Wizard of Oz.

    • @McZombieFace
      @McZombieFace 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dylan Van Leuven
      I do see your point with Qrow being the scarecrow, however, I personally believe that it's more likely that the headmaster is the scarecrow since Ozpin, Ironwood, and Lionheart all follow their respected characters from Wizard of Oz

    • @progenlock7785
      @progenlock7785 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      McZombieFace I want the headmaster to allude to Dorothy. Because then there will be no confusion on who alludes to who, and all the good Oz characters get an allusion in RWBY.
      Professor Ozpin: Ozpinhead
      Glynda Goodwitch: Glynda the good witch of the North
      Qrow: Scarecrow with no brains
      Ironwood: Tin-Man with no heart
      Lionheart: Cowardly Lion
      Shade Headmaster: Dorothy.
      The only thing that sets Ozpin apart from everyone else, is that he has the crazy power to continue living (in a sense) and is who knows how many years old. While, the wizard of Oz is also seen as being some crazy wise or powerful person (even if it was fake).

    Seems like Blake's trailers are shared with someone else, like it's always Blake and someone else trailer. First it was Blake and Adam, now it's Blake and Ilia. Not a bad thing, just something I (and most likely everyone else) noticed. It might actually be a really good thing since it seems like she gets the most charter development in her trailers then the rest of the team.
    Edit: It's kinda ironic since she is always pushing people away and thinks she needs to do things alone.

  • @blakemartin8334
    @blakemartin8334 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    This short is very unique and great in my opinion since it shows how Blake went from finding out Illia had to pretend not tyo be a faunus, which Blake saw as terrible back then. But then Blake went to pretend to be human only to really find the same cruel words coming from friends just like Illia. All along in her life she had an idea on how a life pretending to be human would end, and now we see why she ran from it so many times. She had learned to love these friends, truly cared about them. She didn't want to hurt them and end up returning to the white fang. So she ran to avoid the fate she knew all too well. Then Yang ended up getting hurt, and she had to run again after feeling accepted by her friends. Now she knows the only way she will ever truly be accepted is to right the wrongs the white fang has done and get rid of the fate that faunus have to hurt the humans who speak badly about them. She believes in peaceful protest, accepting who you are. Blake knows this entire time that she will hurt those she decides to come close to and she's so afraid of what will happen.

    @TF2Fan101 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Here's something interesting that occurred to me when watching this short: I think Blake was hesitant to become friends with Yang because she reminded her too much of Ilia. Think about it: Yang is a hot-headed, quick to throw the first punch type of girl, much like Ilia was when she broke all those Atlas girls' teeth. We don't know what happened between the two of them, but I think it's obvious that whatever it was, it ended their friendship on a sour note. However, when Blake realized Yang was much more sensitive and sensible then first appearances would suggest, she slowly opened up to her until they became close friends. And I think that's why Blake felt so guilty over what happened to Yang at the end of Volume 3. She stood up for her best friend, only to end up failing and hurting her, much like whatever happened between her and Ilia.
    Those are just my thoughts. What do you guys think?

    Lyrics to song:
    Show them how you smile,

    Take what you need,
    Leave them to bleed,
    Let them know bitter,
    When your revenge is sweet.
    Sounds more like an Ilia song rather than a Blake song. I guess Blake still doesnt have a solo song.

      From Shadows isn't really a Blake song at all. It's Adam/the WF's theme. Blake's image song is actually Wings, believe it or not. That's the song that's used for her scenes in V1.

    • @soarel325
      @soarel325 7 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      Jaune hasn't been in the focus since V1. He played a supporting role in V2, V3, and V4 and was always playing second fiddle to someone, whether that be Pyrrha in V2 and V3, or Ruby and Ren in V4.
      Multiple people have run an analysis of screen time and dialogue. Jaune is only ahead of the main protagonists in V1, which had a significantly shorter runtime and had him in the focus for a large part of it, and even then, he's not ahead of Ruby or Blake. In V2 and V3, all of the main 4 protagonists and Pyrrha have more dialogue and screen time than he does, and in V4, Ren, Blake, Weiss, and Ruby all outrank him. The only protagonist he has more time than in V4 is Yang, and that's because Yang was tragically underserved in V4.
      That's not even getting into the prologue "trailers" and the V4 and V5 prologues, where he doesn't even appear outside of a single line of dialogue on Ruby's phone in the V4 one.

If you compare how Illya(?) was hopping on the roofs to some of the jumping around in the previous volume, it has become so fluid and you can see weight, something that's extremely hard to portray in 3-d animation in general. Amazing job, my eyes were in need of some great animation. Can't wait to see and hear such beautiful art next month!
