This would be a fun Semblance, especially if you combined it with their original idea for his Semblance "Deep Pockets"; he can teleport in-between locations through tiny pocket dimensions, like he uses his hat or jacket as a source spot and disappears inside them to reappear where a second hat or jacket are.
That would be very cool. It’s really surprise neo as well, seeing as now she has his hat, he could suddenly appear really dramatically. Most epic return ever!
Roman's semblance was that glass thing Neo is always seen doing, if you go back and watch the first three seasons again you'll see that Neo only ever did it when she was with Roman proof of this is when Raven attacks her on the train she doesn't use it rather she turns herself invisible yes she can do that you even showed a clip of her doing it and hind til Raven left making it seem like she teleported something she can't do and if you're wondering why Neo didn't kill Yang after Raven left if she was still there its because Neo knew Raven was a maiden and as seen when she was fighting Cinder, Neo knows she can't beat a maiden so not wanting Raven to come after her she chose to not kill Yang and stay hidden and before you say "Neo uses that glass thing all the time in later seasons after Roman's death" she's just copying it as a way of remembering Roman just like how she wears his hat. Also as for how he got away from team rwby after the mech fight, roman has been shown to be really fast many times so he just ran and likely gave neo a pigging back ride as shes not as fast as him also to debunk roman being able to teleport there's three things one we always see him running away something he wouldn't need to do if he could teleport two if he could teleport then the whole thing with the train wouldn't have been needed as he could have just teleported onto ironwoods ship at anytime and three he wouldn't have needed neo to brake him out of his cell if he could teleport so all sighs point to him not being able to teleport. Also if you're wondering how neo could have know raven was a maiden its because she likely had a run in with her in the pass based on the fact she knew what a maiden was when she saw cinder use her maiden powers meaning she had a run in with one in the pass it couldn't have been the winter maiden it likely wasn't the fall maiden so unless it was the fourth unmet maiden it would have to be raven as neo fears no one in a fight besides maidens as there just too powerful for her thats the only reason she stopped trying to kill cinder if cinder didn't have or show that she had maiden powers neo would have just killed her and the whole show would have been better off with cinder dead and i guess neo would also become the new fall maiden maybe depends on how old neo is i think the max age someone can be to become a maiden is likely 26 it depends on how old raven is since she became a maiden ten years ago so if raven is 36 now then she would have been 26 when she got the powers and winter looks like shes in her early 20s maybe 22 or 23 so the limit to how old you can be is likely mid 20s as we know only "young" women can become maidens and 26 is the age were i would stop calling someone young so 26 feels about right for the cut off point
Interesting theory. I hope that this is both true and untrue because of the state the Rwby series is in I would rather read a Torchwick Fanfic than whatever else they would do to him in the show. On the other hand more Torchwick is always a good thing, guess we'll just have to see.
It's a good theory, sorry but it kind of falls apart when in the volume 7 commentary the writers tell us Roman was meant to have Fiona's semblance (basically having a pocket dimension) but they scraped it. Also Neo can make people invisible. On the train fight with Yang she gives the illusion of teleportation to escape from Raven by possibly making herself invisible, we know Neo can't teleport so this is the only logical explanation. There was no way for Roman to know Neo needed help and he was getting beaten by Blake. Also if he could teleport why did he need Neo to break him out of Ironwood's cell in volume 3. With the point about blake I feel like being held at knifepoint isn't that scary when you have aura. I don't mean to dishearten you tho, I love hearing theories and hope you make new ones, the evidence you put in the video was convicing but it doesn't work when considering other points.
When they say they scrapped the idea, they could mean they scrapped that particular idea, not the whole semblance thing. Good point about the invisible thing - she didn’t teleport, just made herself invisible and ran/hid. This works for this scene, but if she can’t teleport, how did they get on the helicopter/plane in s2? Also, he didn’t need Neo to break him out in v3. He was exactly where they both needed to be - on ironwoods ship, where they could shoot down and take over the atlesian knights. With the knife thing, aura didn’t protect yang’s arm, and doesn’t always protect you, especially if a knife is plunged directly into a throat - id question if aura could protect that entirely.
@@amiablesloth1509 I don't recall if it is stated he doesn't have a semblance in the commentary but it is stated that he doesn't have a semblance in the RWBY wiki. Neo may have provided enough time for both Roman and herself to get to an airship, it wasn't far away as it flew past as soon as the illusion shattered so it wouldn't be a stretch to assume they could make it to it. Fair point about irowood's ship he wouldn't need to break out. It is also stated in volume 3's commentary that the reason yang's arm was cut was because her aura was low due to fighting grim off screen and adam's moonslice cut right through it and her arm. We had no reason to assume that Torchwick was low on Aura during that scene. I do however see that the writers not actually showing Yang fighting grim in the show as an issue, they should have added a scene beforehand showing that at least.
They killed off all of the excellent characters or simply stopoed showing them to put that really freaking annoying girl in bicycle shorts from the freaking annoying Aesops in there. Changed a lot of characters' personalities and character, to their detriment. The writing after the first three seasons sucks utterly. Ironwood is wonderful good or bad or both - but they have a lot of making up to do otherwise screw this show I will just watch The Great episodes and the chibi shorts from the old days. Roman Holiday was fantastic writing. What could have been for the show... Barely have any hope. His semblance could have been teleportation - that would be cool; also it would be cool if he was some kind of Phoenix semblance person - reborn of fire. That would make him pretty formidable in this world.

Didn't Monty Oum once mention that Roman didn't have a stand ability?
yup totally a stand lol
