For vol 9, I predict it would be about everyone who fell into the abyss trying to navigate and find an escape from the unknown realm. With some characters fighting through some inner struggles that happened in vol 8 and certain dangers that lurk within the realm's forest. And there may be a subplot where the others in Vacuo try to make plans to prepare for Salem's next attack on Shade academy.
This Volume is going to be a blast. There is so much that is set to happen. What I am begging for is Summer Rose making an appearance in Volume 9 since a lot deserve to know if she's alive or not, some new enemies and a possible confession to Summer's past.
I think the visiting with the dead would be intriguing. Neo meets with Roman, Jaune meets with Phyrra, Ruby meets with Penny, Yang meets with Summer, and maybe Blake meets with Adam?
Ruby and yang should be summer. ruby doesn't know penny died and raven not dead.also since Weiss doesn't know his dad does she could be the one to help Rwby
I was thinking the same, maybe even Blake meets Adam from when she first met him, back when she followed him, and has to come to terms with that alongside how things turned out.
I honestly love this theory and it would absolutely be awesome to see an Odin based character be Nora’s real dad in one of the other realms. Because we haven’t heard anything about Nora having a father, the only family of Nora’s that we know of is Ren, her friends, and the Mom that abandoned her when the Grimm attacked.
Oz is Odin. Qrow and Raven acted as Oz's eyes into the world. Oz and Odin both preferred having Knowledge. Both Oz and Odin have had different forms (Oz because curse and Odin could shapeshift a bit).
@@Lin2Waterfall Ozpin's only *Allusion* is Oz, but he plays the *Role* of Odin for Qrow's Allusion to... I forget the bird's name, but you know who I'm talking about.
@@malaineeward5249 Qrow is both "The Scarecrow" of Oz and one of the 2 Birds of Odin. Characters can have more than one allusion. Such as Salem. She is named for the infamous town as well as fills the role of "Wicked Witch".
@@Lin2Waterfall Good point. It gets a tad confusing sometimes I guess. Though, I thought I saw something on the wiki about the difference between Allusions and Roles
If written correctly Norse mythology could explain a lot about the lore of RWBY. For example the wisdom from realm of the dwarves could explain the crazy weapons we see from the show. I think all the realms taking pity on Midgard or leaving behind gifts or wisdom could explain a few things; the weapons, creation of dust, the Faunus. This volume will be full of lore, explanations and character development. Hopefully it can serve as a training arc too. I mean they did fall into a world with two suns so I wouldn’t be surprised if there would be a Luke Skywalker reference or character in this season to train them. Ruby still can barely fight without her weapon but is getting better with using her eyes. Weiss is OP as it is but I miss when she used her sword as a…well…sword instead of a wand. Blake still can barely hold her own in a fight without support. Jaun has come far but his fighting ability is still lacking compared to everyone else and honestly I want him to be the one to finally kill Cinder. He’s gonna have some shit to work through bc he killed Penny so that’ll be two people he feels like he failed and let die. Maybe he’ll have some suicidal thoughts, maybe be tempted to stay in the realm of the dead due to guilt. And if nine realms would be too much to cover perhaps there could only be two but they are a mixture of the remaining 8. Alfheim, Asgard, Johtenheim, and Svartlheim could be the one world of light, life, knowledge and creation. And Helheim, Nifelheim, Musfelheim, Vanaheim (I apologize all for these misspellings) could make the one realm of darkness, death, power, and destruction. This would explain the gods origins and wouldn’t negate the narrative already set forth.
One thing I remember from Norse mythology is that during Ragnarok even the gods will die, so that could help explain about why Salem is now looking to gather the relics. Because she has discovered how to kill the brothers.
I think Salem only wants to collect the relics to end her suffering as the gods did say they would erase the galaxy that rement is in (I think, not just rement) if the people haven't learned to co exist with each other
I think salem intends to take away her own immortality but oz didnt tell her what would happen if she did if she does and the brothers see the war then everyone dies
Yessss Phoenix this is such a juicy theory and I love it more than anything! A great birthday present to learn more about the realms I definitely think we'll be exploring
Speaking of the girl who fell through the world, I've said on a previous and I'll say it again. I think that tale is a reference or nod to Alice in Wonderland, since she fell through her world and ended up in another. Since this reference of Norse Mythology has been used since the beginning, I kind of got the feeling that the writers (including Monty) are trying to say to us that gods (if any really do exists) are just a species of super beings who have mastered the ability to create and shape life as they see fit. Oh and if anyone's interested, I recommend reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. Really good novel to read on things like Ragnarok and how Thor got his hammer (along with how he got it back from a frost giant who stole it, hence how Nora came to be).
Nuckelavee is *not* a creature from Norse mythology, it’s from Orcadian mythology. Now, it is connected to Norse mythology, as it is believed that the Nuckelavee is derived from one of the many Celtic water horses, and some unknown Norse creature. We know close to nothing about actual Norse mythology, hence why a lot of it is so ambiguous I doubt this will come up in RWBY, but the Nuckelavee is a creature of water, specifically salt water. It would rise from the ocean to wilt crops and murder people. It’s only weakness was fresh water, and the best way to escape it is to cross a river.
I was looking for this comment, as I was otherwise going to mention how the Nucklevee was Celtic in origin. (Because as I recall, Orcadian is closest to Celtic.)
Idk much about Norse mythology but maybe those different worlds can be shown as parts of island since the tree is which connects those worlds. Or those parts will be mini versions of them and actual ones will be went with portals or something like that?
Great video, I feel even more confident that the Fallen will encounter elves on the island which has been a theory of mine ever since Volume 8 ended. I also think they were the chosen race for the 4 relic spirits since they all have pointed ears.
The brother gods remind me of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna from MLP FIM where Celestia was the favorite and Luna got jealous and became Nightmare Moon. (It gets more detailed and in depth)
I saw a theory on tumblr about how those that fell could possibly return with, well changes, and that they are at the Shallow Sea Personally if I were to say what changes would happen to each character I'd go with: Ruby becoming some form of Dryad with a rose on her head that signals her mood/emotional state making it harder for her to hide her insecurities from those around her, or perhaps she gains the ability or knowledge of how to unlock magic, if only to see the nuclear fallout that would be Cinder and Salem seeing her perform a trick that cannot be explained by dust Semblance, Maidens, or even Ozma's gift Weiss could perhaps have patches of her skin crystalize or as the tumblr post that inspired me suggested her tears turn into dust as they fall I can't think of anything I'd like to happen to Blake in this context, though if they are at the Shallow Sea I could see Blake getting away unchanged due to already being under it's effect, kind of Yang could have the latent magic that was passed onto her by Raven ignited allowing her to turn into an Eagle or Phoenix Jaune could gain odd shaped scars over his body that smolder when he thinks of his regrets, a reference to his allusion Jeanne D'arc's death by burning at the stake I can't think of anything for Neo
The multiple realms theory might have some merit, the Vaults themselves could connect to a different realm each. I don't know if they'll encounter those who have died or not but if it's another race of people perhaps they could meet either elves, dwarves, and or plant based people. Like the Faunus but with plant traits instead of animal traits, aka the Flora.
Glad to see you back on the theory grind! I love the ideas you brought up for Nora and the elves, and I just realized that both Ambrosius and Jinn have elf-like ears, so maybe they could be related to that idea. As for one other thing about Norse mythology that could play into the Yggdrasil theory; there is actually a lake under the tree. This is where Odin sacrificed his eye in order to gain Wisdom. If there's something like that where RWBY is now, I could see it possibly relating to the relics, either the relic of choice (due to the aspect of "wisdom" and Oz saying he hid it differently) or the relic of destruction (particularly if your theory on the spirit of the sword being the lady of the lake is correct).
Now, when I look at RWBY from a broader perspective, in terms of where the creators drew inspiration from to create individual characters and their threads, I begin to see that there is much more inspiration from Norse mythology than just Nora. I prefer to warn you right away that most of what I will write now is only my overinterpretation. So Nora is obviously Thor, and the tree in this new world may be some equivalent of Yggdrasil. Most probably heard or came to the conclusion that Ozpin might have been slightly inspired by Odin - to him Qrow and Raven in the form of birds provided information about Salem activities, just like Odin's two ravens (Hugin and Munin) brought him news from all nine realms. And now my overinterpretation begins. In mythology there is a figure of a god named Tyr, who in one of the myths lost one arm when it was bitten off by the great wolf Fenrir (Loki's son) - And Yang is quite a brave and militant girl whose hand was cut off by Adam - a faunus. Further, in mythology there is a famous figure of the great trickster - Loki, whose most famous ability was the ability to change shape including sex change - and in RWBY we have our beloved Neo who also has similar abilities and is very cunning and duplicitous. Just as Loki was not on the side of the gods or the giants, Neo did not cooperate with the protagonists, but she also was not completely on the side of the antagonists, causing problems for both sides. As for the Phoenix/Night's theory of the nine realms: Asgard, Wanaheim and Jotunheim together can be considered the land to which the divine brothers went. Why ? Well, vikings considered giants a race of gods like Aesir, after all, Loki is by birth a giant, but he is counted among the gods. In addition, the first Aesir, Buri, married Bestla, a giantess, so basically every God has some giants' blood in him. While this part of the Alfheim and Svartalfheim theory is possible and interesting, a small error has crept in here. Svartalfheim and Nidavelirr are the same land, inhabited by dark elves (the inhabitants of Scandinavia considered dwarves and dark elves to be the same race) while Helheim was not part of Niflheim, but a separate realm. Niflheim and Muspellheim existed before anything else, and it was out of the mists of Niflheim and the fire of Muspell that the first living thing emerged - the giant Ymir. It is rather doubtful that the Grimm come from Muspell as most of them have little to do with fire and it was mentioned that the god of darkness himself created Grimm. Personally, I think that they have more to do with the land of mists, because poisonous rivers flowed through Nifelheim, which could be compared to the Grimm River, which Salem used during the attack on Atlas, but as I mentioned - overinterpretation. Midgard is of course a Remnant and there is not much to add here. If I ever have an idea related to this topic, I will try to remember to edit this comment, but for the moment that's all. As I mentioned, it is only my overinterpretation and I understand if someone does not agree with it, so I encourage you to comment and discuss.
Damn, you wrote this much and no one replied, I will, by stating that I'm impressed of how well you know things about this mithology, what have you said makes a lot of sense and I can see the writers taking their inspiration from here. I really want to see how eveything plays out in the end, perhaps they thought people would eventually figure out the mithology resamblance and try to make their own story
A few thoughts about RWBY: 1) I did mention to a friend that I would like to see Team RWBY eventually come back to the rest of the story with Aura, Semblance, and Weapons evolved and changed from what they were when they originally left. 2) Can you have some fun covering the RWBY - Justice League comic?
When you mentioned Niflheim, the first thing I thought of for some reason was the place where Salem usually resides and creates grim, but that wouldn’t make a lot of sense. I really hope Rwby puts in some kind of afterlife realm though because I really want to see an interaction between Jaune and dead Pyrrha 🤞
I think there might be notable areas on the island that represent the nine realms and seeing everyone that died could make for some GREAT content. Grimm are seeing crawling out of the Goop perhaps it doesn't make them but it a portal from another realm like you suggest. I'd love to see the origins of the Grimm. TeamAliveTorchwick
This is a nice theory especially about Nora. But I think the theory could fit Jaune better, we know Nora was abandoned by her mother in Mistral. But Jaune's backstory and where he lives has been ambiguous to the point that even his sister Saphron didn't even say where she and Jaune live. Even their older sister in red should've left home, but only Jaune and Saphron are living away. Despite everything, Jaune was the only character introduced that seems unfamiliar with remnant. Even to the point he didn't know what aura was despite his age.
Aside from the notes on Norse mythology I honestly don't think they would go the route of making Nora a frickin alien Nor do I think the God of light would give Ambrosius the power to allow humans to access the afterlife at all Plus I think it's worth pointing put that Ambrosius didn't create the actual space where the walkways were, or it would have disappeared entirely Just the doors and roads
This defintely makes a lot of sense, I would also say that its possible that Salem's lair is also another realm, probably a realm of darkness. But lots of characters like Emerald, Cinder, etc come and go from Salem's dominion (land with purple goop) so it could actually be on remnant. I was always confused about that
Okay I'm loving this theory. Rooster Teeth should just hire you as a write at this point. If nothing else, they need to be watching your videos writing copious notes!
Watching this video made me understand Sword Art Online from maybe 40% to 100%. I was also waiting for a Miraculous reference, but Im glad there wasn't one because that just would have been more on my brain 🤯 But the fact that you had to learn 9 different Realms/Races and Norse Mythology, 👏 for effort and we appreciate it!
If Jaune did visit the dwarves, he could either get Crocea Mors repaired or upgraded, or possibly even get a new weapon entirely. I doubt it would be the last one, but I think the first two might be possible. (Side note: Ruby would freak out if she visited this realm, as it's the blacksmith of the Gods. She'd be a kid in a candy shop.)
Yes, he created the Grimm on Remnant but the Grimm could easily have existed elsewhere first and the god of darkness recreated them or even just brought them from another realm. Qrow is only human and the history he knows is from Ozpin, who doesnt exactly tell the truth and likely does not know everything about the gods either
I remember coming up with some theories for what each realm could function as/what races come from there like a week after the finale. (This is gonna be a long comment but I've been studying Norse mythology for a hot second so I went a lil ham): Asgard: God of Light’s domain Midgard: Remnant Muspelheim: God of Darkness’ domain + Grim origin land Alfheim: Vault’s dimension or Beach where RWBY+JN landed (Or possibly home of the Relic Ghosts) Nidavellir: Chibiverse (This is a major stretch and highkey a joke one but why not) Vanaheim: Vault’s dimension and/or home of the Relic Spirits (Jinn/Ambrosius and the other Relic Spirits could be like the Vanir, or they could draw from Vanaheim being the world in Norse mythology known for its gorgeous weather/greenery/sunshine, which matches with the vaults’ appearance.) Valhalla/Hel/Nifleheim: Afterlife realm thing (the exact description in the Google doc was "CRWBY wants to see us cry; Could give us closure on Summer, Roman, Pyhrra, etc.; could confirm certain character deaths (Mainly Roman, Adam/Watts/Ironwood but I doubt it T_T)" Jotunheim: ??? Surtalfheim: ??? Other notes I had: Pathways to the portals where RWBY+JN fell could represent the Bifrost (AKA Rainbow Bridge) Jotunheim and Surtalfheim could be new worlds w/ new races/characters The God of Animals (Faunus originator guy) could have a dedicated domain, most likely Alfheim or Vanaheim, but there are decent cases for both like the Relic Spirits, so one will most likely be for them and the other for the God of Animals (Ex. Ambro and Jinn being from Vanaheim, the Faunus being from Alfheim, and vice-versa)
If Pyrrha does show up again, Jaune shouldn't be the only one to talk with her. Ruby should as well since she tried to save her too. It was a very impactful death for her since she saw it and couldn't stop it.
My 2 questions are - Will the relic of destruction and choice will be in these realms? - Will the 6 characters that dropped (plus penny's corpse) are going to be in the same realm as ruby or will they land in different realms and that they will meet up on that giant ass tree? (Kinda reminds me of there initiation where they land in different areas and that they will meet in one specific area)
The relics are on Vacuo and beacon respectively Cinder never found the Vault in Beacon and she says Vacuo was supposed to be attacked before Atlas but a change of plans happened in her absence
I mean technically there's a 4th afterlife called Fólkvangr but it's more of a norse only thing because it's made by Freya a goddess of war and death but also love and Beauty and its where half of the people who die in battle go and the other half go to Valhalla so there's a chance if they go to Valhalla or Fólkvangr that we could see pyyrha there cause she died in a battle against cinder so maybe but highly likely that's not gonna happen
If the Vanian (don't know how to spell it) is equal but opposite to Asgard, and the gods of Light and Darkness are, again, equal and opposite of each other... Wouldn't then they would be "gods" from each of those two worlds that simply came together in a mutual project?
I actually had a funny thought. I was watch Ben 10 Alien Force, specifically the episodes that featured Professor Paradox, the Ben 10 equivalent of the Doctor. And I thought; how funny would it be if Paradox just popped in and offered his assistance and then just brings Ben into this whole mess. I know it's extremely dumb, but it would absolutely be the really funny kind of dumb. So why did I comment here. Simple. In the Omniverse episode "And Then There Were None", Paradox uses a giant tree to help explain the Mulitverse Theory, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory. And then I remembered "Hey there was a big tree at the end Volume 8." So yeah. That's where my brain went. Because of reasons not even I can fathom.
The other world is Mata Nui from Bionicle, I mean think about it! >Island paradise >They fell from the sky like the toa >There’s two suns/planets Fite me
My biggest question about RWBY is how the Faunus came to be? There are stories about the Gods of Animals who seems to have created them to end a war between humans and animals? If that is the case, we never saw him or her on the show and he or she might still be around.
I'm all for meeting Pyrrha again, but I really don't think she should come back to life. Not only would it go against the gods rule about bringing back the dead, but it will also undermine and undo the meaning of her sacrifice when she fought Cinder and the encounter Jaune had at the statue in Argus. Meet her again to give Jaune and the other closure, yes. Bringing her back to life, just to appease the "fans", no. I just don't see why and how some people can't accept her death. Also, I think all of the characters have all landed on the island, but on different parts of it. Each one of them will be on different parts of the island and have different encounters with past mistakes and regrets. Jaune with Penny and Pyrrha, Blake with Adam, Yang with Raven, Weiss with her family, Neo with Roman and Ruby with Summer, or something along those lines. Each one will encounter some personal stuff that will make them stronger. Or they could meet one other character and go through the island together. Ruby and Neo, Blake and Yang, Jaune and Weiss. Ruby and Neo will call a truce until they figure out how to escape, during which time Neo will change sides. Blake and Yang will encounter each other where they talk about personal feelings and confess to each other. Jaune and Weiss will meet and Weiss will help Jaune through his trauma of killing Pyrrha where she will discover her feelings for him. Kara said that this was her favorite Volume and we know she is a huge White Knight shipper, so that could be part of the reason. I think the World Tree will be the only way they escape the island by using the Bifrost. Oh, I've missed these theory videos
I don’t think the show will bring back Pyrrha, maybe in this dimension, however not in the world of Remnant. It sucked that she died unfortunately, but the writers know that’s a bad move to make. I do hope that her and others from the past make a return. I think possibly battling with them or talking to them. This might be a more calm volume than the last two.
@@emilitia9106 You should spread the word that you don't approve of Pyrrha coming back to life and the writers think it's a bad move. It may help with those who are refusing to accept her death. Lord knows why
The only problem with Nora being from another realm is that Nora has a semblance. To my knowledge it's been implied that semblances are a leftover of the magic people used to have. So it would be something linked to Remnant specifically. Unless similar things (god of darkness destroying humanity) happened in other universes, which is possible.
Jaune and Ruby with Penny. Jaune and Pyrrha. Weiss and Jaques. Blake and Adam. Neo and Roman. Ruby and Yang with Summer... that is, if she's dead. I really don't think she is. I'm not sure about the whole Nora being from another realm, but everything else was really interesting.
And here I am thinking that when they fell they went straight to the summer relic in Shade Academy in Vacuo. And here they are going to summon the God of the summer relic. I thought of this coz every relic in RWBY was in some place that it wasn't from Ramnent. And I also don't think that they will be able to meet this God coz they don't know how to summon it, but when they take the relic in their hand it will lead them straight to the academy where they will be trying to save all people from Atlas and Mental and their friends from the desert.
im gonna be honest i havent enjoyed the show too much in recent volumes but i still love the hell out of your theories. Also im not trying to hate on the show im just stating my opinion. have a great day peeps
I don’t think Nora should be revealed to be a part of some kind of Magical race. I think its better if Nora is just a human who has worked hard to become as strong as she is, rather than someone who has just inherited most of her strength. While it’s kind of cool to have Nora be a part of some special race, I feel like it would make her a weaker character.
Frankly, there being two different sets of gods can actually work, it could be that the Brothers are indeed Brothers but they are more like representations of two sides of the same coin. Cause the Asgardians are an aggressive warrior race who destroy, while the Vanir are a more peaceful warrior race who create instead of destroy (like cultivating farms instead of going out to take the food that they need from others).
I'm really curious about how this new realm works. Is there a time dilation, is their aura affected in some capacity, what's with the hexagons? These are questions that need answers!
Something just came up. A theory if you like. What if whilst in this alterative realm, Ruby and the others will either find themselves without their aura or Semblance, or they their abilities become amplified? I thought of this since Remnant was stripped by the gods of or had its source of magic broken down to dust and auras.
5 bucks says all those people who fell off prior to team rwby survive but will be fonder for the creatures on the island namely the gigantic six legged starfish
Just realized if true. It means our realm. Earth or Migard is there somewhere. After all the grimn have to be inspired or thought up by a possible realm one with imagination or nightmares
It’s definitely gonna relate to Alice and wonderland. Unless I’ve forgotten someone, they’ve never done Alice in wonderland based characters which is weird because it’s a big fairy tale
There is a volume 9 short where actually nothing happends, we just see Neo and Ruby as they fall. But I am wondering how volume 9 and Yggdrasil are going to tie into the story. Also it would give us possibly even more characters to slap into the Phoenix festival 2022 :P.
well they have to be in the same world, on the same island, just in different locations of the island, that would inquire them to find each other, and their weapons too.
As a Christian I believe that RWBY actually did a couple of things from the Bible. The end of humanity and it's second time around, much like Noah and the Ark. Perhaps RWBY takes inspiration from many religions and beliefs.
It’s literally a show about taking inspiration from stories about myth, legends, and fairy tales which all mingle with religion in various capacities. I’d be more surprised if they didn’t… also “no new stories under the sun”
Just something random of note I just thought of. Dust was said to no longer function outside the atmosphere of Remnant. But it works fine in this other realm. I wonder if that has any correlation.
So. . . they’re not gods, they’re goa'uld! And continuing the pop culture references: If we’re getting multiple realms on a world tree with powerful yet fallable gods. . . okay what’s RWBY’s take on Vorinclex? Also, the Nuckelavee is from Orkney Isles folklore in Scotland. It draws from both Celtic and Nordic myth, but isn’t exclusive to either.
The staff of creation did not create the safe for the other Relics. For example it made Atlas is floating at the same time They entered the vault. And he can only create one thing at a time. Ozpin and everyone else was able the vaults While Atlas was still floating.
Another thing that should RT go with the world tree idea is ratatorskr ( most definitely horribleness butchered) a squirrel that travels across the world tree delivering messages of the asir and vanir .there is also the dragon ( whose name I forgot )that lives at the bottom of the tree always eating away at the roots and a great big bird ( whose name I also forget )that always send great burst of winds down the world tree. Ratatorskr in the rwby universe could still be a messenger but also help ferry those wishing to travel across worlds and keeping them safe from the dragon and bird This is just my thoughts and ideas would be cool to see a giant squirrel help team RWBY and co travel across the world tree
2 different race of gods would be pretty difficult to show in RWBY Me : I mean it's already difficult to show difference between magic and semblance so yeah it be difficult
*Finishes the video.* I don't really believe, that nora is from a different race. (Due to a few things.) One: She has a semblance not magic. Or at least any signs of showing the latter from what I can tell. Two: If she was from an other race. Does that any other sentient races outside of remnant have aura and semblances? (I know, it was said all living beings have it. If I remembering correctly. But we've seen no other races besides the humans, faunus, grimm and possibly nornal fish so far. With the former two having active aura.) Unless, they can have aura. Or nora is a specific creation from either god. (Or both of them.) Or had some sort special involvement with them, i don't see that as a possibility. (About the gods being apart of a race.) It's a possibility, but i am not sure. (About the gods creating their own races outside of remnant.) Another possibility, but then the main characters may end up world jump a time or two more. While the story and main fights are in remnant. (About the land of the dead.) If there is one fused, then ruby and yang should see summer. Unless the latter is somehow grimmfied. (Or just penny for ruby.) Weiss maybe her father or grand father. Jaime would most likely see pyrrha. If she's dead. And not involved some sort of maiden magical witchery. Neo would probably end up seeing torchwick. If he is actually dead. I have no clue, if blake would see someone, she cared for that died. If she did it would be part of a plot device. For vol 9 or 10. (Depending on whether or not vol nine is strictly vacuo and oscar's group.)
Well, technically the land of fire is more like a realm of Fire Giants and I guess also some form of demons. But the Fire Giants are the ones who call the shots.
This chart is inaccurate. In all the sources I could find, Svartalfheim and Nidavellir are one and the same, Dark Elves being a synonym for dwarfs The nine realms being Midgard, Asgard, Vanaheim, Hel/Helheim, Muspel/Muspelheim, Niflheim, Alfheim/Ljosalfheim, Nidavellir/Svartalfheim, and Jotunheim Niflheim is the primordial realm of ice, Hel is the domain of the dishonoured dead But There is also a misty void between the realms, Ginnungagap, and a bonus location for the honoured dead in Vanaheim ruled by Freya, called Folkvanger
15.00: there are 2 more dead or potentially dead people we might encounter. 1) adam 2)summer rose I believe everyone who fell will have an important encounter with a deceased person Jaune will meet phyrra, neo will meet roman, blake and yang will encounter adam. And everyone but neo will see penny, who may be their "guide" in the land of the dead. And ruby will search for summer, but fail to find her. And this way in season 9 we will be teased that summer rose is still alive
When you mention asgard and vanaheim what if the brother of light was from vanaheim (or what ever the RWBY name of it) and the Brother of "Dark" is from asgard (or what ever the RWBY name of it) that could be a possibility
Like the 2 realms are two sides of the same coin and the brother are really the same person but are 2 alternate versions of them self one of only the dark in their heart and one of light in their heart
Team rwby eill be able to comevack to the overworld by using raven's semblence. Raven uses her semblence to find yang, hopefully all of them are together if that actually happens
Niflheim: land of dead probably the same in RWBY, Asgard: land of the gods probably the same in RWBY, vanaheim: my theory is that this is where the spirits of the crown, staff, lamp, and sword are from, I don't really think the other realms will matter much (besides Midgard obviously)
For vol 9, I predict it would be about everyone who fell into the abyss trying to navigate and find an escape from the unknown realm. With some characters fighting through some inner struggles that happened in vol 8 and certain dangers that lurk within the realm's forest. And there may be a subplot where the others in Vacuo try to make plans to prepare for Salem's next attack on Shade academy.
Oh I have missed the RWBY theories. I'm glad to see them back.
PREACH

I think the visiting with the dead would be intriguing. Neo meets with Roman, Jaune meets with Phyrra, Ruby meets with Penny, Yang meets with Summer, and maybe Blake meets with Adam?
And Weiss with her father?
Ruby and yang should be summer. ruby doesn't know penny died and raven not dead.also since Weiss doesn't know his dad does she could be the one to help Rwby

Because we haven’t heard anything about Nora having a father, the only family of Nora’s that we know of is Ren, her friends, and the Mom that abandoned her when the Grimm attacked.

@@malaineeward5249 Qrow is both "The Scarecrow" of Oz and one of the 2 Birds of Odin.
Characters can have more than one allusion. Such as Salem. She is named for the infamous town as well as fills the role of "Wicked Witch".
@@Lin2Waterfall Good point. It gets a tad confusing sometimes I guess. Though, I thought I saw something on the wiki about the difference between Allusions and Roles
Not sure I’m willing to give RT enough credit to go with the “Nora is special” idea. But the visiting the realm of the dead…could be interesting
She did have a bit of focus in V8 which was interesting.
If written correctly Norse mythology could explain a lot about the lore of RWBY. For example the wisdom from realm of the dwarves could explain the crazy weapons we see from the show. I think all the realms taking pity on Midgard or leaving behind gifts or wisdom could explain a few things; the weapons, creation of dust, the Faunus. This volume will be full of lore, explanations and character development. Hopefully it can serve as a training arc too. I mean they did fall into a world with two suns so I wouldn’t be surprised if there would be a Luke Skywalker reference or character in this season to train them. Ruby still can barely fight without her weapon but is getting better with using her eyes. Weiss is OP as it is but I miss when she used her sword as a…well…sword instead of a wand. Blake still can barely hold her own in a fight without support. Jaun has come far but his fighting ability is still lacking compared to everyone else and honestly I want him to be the one to finally kill Cinder. He’s gonna have some shit to work through bc he killed Penny so that’ll be two people he feels like he failed and let die. Maybe he’ll have some suicidal thoughts, maybe be tempted to stay in the realm of the dead due to guilt. And if nine realms would be too much to cover perhaps there could only be two but they are a mixture of the remaining 8. Alfheim, Asgard, Johtenheim, and Svartlheim could be the one world of light, life, knowledge and creation. And Helheim, Nifelheim, Musfelheim, Vanaheim (I apologize all for these misspellings) could make the one realm of darkness, death, power, and destruction. This would explain the gods origins and wouldn’t negate the narrative already set forth.
That would be amazing to see, I hope they do take it in that direction
Glad to see you back I enjoy your RWBY theories alot
One thing I remember from Norse mythology is that during Ragnarok even the gods will die, so that could help explain about why Salem is now looking to gather the relics. Because she has discovered how to kill the brothers.
I think Salem only wants to collect the relics to end her suffering as the gods did say they would erase the galaxy that rement is in (I think, not just rement) if the people haven't learned to co exist with each other
I think salem intends to take away her own immortality but oz didnt tell her what would happen if she did if she does and the brothers see the war then everyone dies
Naw man, Salems HELLLLAAAA depressed, and is DESPERATE for death.
That’s so cool!
Yessss Phoenix this is such a juicy theory and I love it more than anything! A great birthday present to learn more about the realms I definitely think we'll be exploring
I'm totally liking the artwork of your OC Seraph that you added at the end of this video.
Speaking of the girl who fell through the world, I've said on a previous and I'll say it again. I think that tale is a reference or nod to Alice in Wonderland, since she fell through her world and ended up in another. Since this reference of Norse Mythology has been used since the beginning, I kind of got the feeling that the writers (including Monty) are trying to say to us that gods (if any really do exists) are just a species of super beings who have mastered the ability to create and shape life as they see fit. Oh and if anyone's interested, I recommend reading Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. Really good novel to read on things like Ragnarok and how Thor got his hammer (along with how he got it back from a frost giant who stole it, hence how Nora came to be).
Hopefully Nora faces a Jormungandr like being
Almost definitely gonna have some Alice and wonderland stuff! The shells and ocean life are super huge and so is that tree
Nuckelavee is *not* a creature from Norse mythology, it’s from Orcadian mythology.
Now, it is connected to Norse mythology, as it is believed that the Nuckelavee is derived from one of the many Celtic water horses, and some unknown Norse creature.
We know close to nothing about actual Norse mythology, hence why a lot of it is so ambiguous
I doubt this will come up in RWBY, but the Nuckelavee is a creature of water, specifically salt water. It would rise from the ocean to wilt crops and murder people. It’s only weakness was fresh water, and the best way to escape it is to cross a river.
I was looking for this comment, as I was otherwise going to mention how the Nucklevee was Celtic in origin. (Because as I recall, Orcadian is closest to Celtic.)
Hehe, 9 realms in Norse mythology and the next Vol is Vol 9
Funny
Great video, your theories are always so interesting. Love it.
Idk much about Norse mythology but maybe those different worlds can be shown as parts of island since the tree is which connects those worlds. Or those parts will be mini versions of them and actual ones will be went with portals or something like that?
This was a great video Phoenix!!!
Great video, I feel even more confident that the Fallen will encounter elves on the island which has been a theory of mine ever since Volume 8 ended. I also think they were the chosen race for the 4 relic spirits since they all have pointed ears.
The brother gods remind me of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna from MLP FIM where Celestia was the favorite and Luna got jealous and became Nightmare Moon. (It gets more detailed and in depth)
I saw a theory on tumblr about how those that fell could possibly return with, well changes, and that they are at the Shallow Sea
Personally if I were to say what changes would happen to each character I'd go with:
Ruby becoming some form of Dryad with a rose on her head that signals her mood/emotional state making it harder for her to hide her insecurities from those around her, or perhaps she gains the ability or knowledge of how to unlock magic, if only to see the nuclear fallout that would be Cinder and Salem seeing her perform a trick that cannot be explained by dust Semblance, Maidens, or even Ozma's gift
Weiss could perhaps have patches of her skin crystalize or as the tumblr post that inspired me suggested her tears turn into dust as they fall
I can't think of anything I'd like to happen to Blake in this context, though if they are at the Shallow Sea I could see Blake getting away unchanged due to already being under it's effect, kind of
Yang could have the latent magic that was passed onto her by Raven ignited allowing her to turn into an Eagle or Phoenix
Jaune could gain odd shaped scars over his body that smolder when he thinks of his regrets, a reference to his allusion Jeanne D'arc's death by burning at the stake
I can't think of anything for Neo
The multiple realms theory might have some merit, the Vaults themselves could connect to a different realm each. I don't know if they'll encounter those who have died or not but if it's another race of people perhaps they could meet either elves, dwarves, and or plant based people. Like the Faunus but with plant traits instead of animal traits, aka the Flora.
Glad to see you back on the theory grind! I love the ideas you brought up for Nora and the elves, and I just realized that both Ambrosius and Jinn have elf-like ears, so maybe they could be related to that idea.
As for one other thing about Norse mythology that could play into the Yggdrasil theory; there is actually a lake under the tree. This is where Odin sacrificed his eye in order to gain Wisdom. If there's something like that where RWBY is now, I could see it possibly relating to the relics, either the relic of choice (due to the aspect of "wisdom" and Oz saying he hid it differently) or the relic of destruction (particularly if your theory on the spirit of the sword being the lady of the lake is correct).
I love everyone landed in the world where relics were made, but on a different continent to keep all the relics safe.
Now, when I look at RWBY from a broader perspective, in terms of where the creators drew inspiration from to create individual characters and their threads, I begin to see that there is much more inspiration from Norse mythology than just Nora. I prefer to warn you right away that most of what I will write now is only my overinterpretation.
So Nora is obviously Thor, and the tree in this new world may be some equivalent of Yggdrasil. Most probably heard or came to the conclusion that Ozpin might have been slightly inspired by Odin - to him Qrow and Raven in the form of birds provided information about Salem activities, just like Odin's two ravens (Hugin and Munin) brought him news from all nine realms.
And now my overinterpretation begins.
In mythology there is a figure of a god named Tyr, who in one of the myths lost one arm when it was bitten off by the great wolf Fenrir (Loki's son) - And Yang is quite a brave and militant girl whose hand was cut off by Adam - a faunus.
Further, in mythology there is a famous figure of the great trickster - Loki, whose most famous ability was the ability to change shape including sex change - and in RWBY we have our beloved Neo who also has similar abilities and is very cunning and duplicitous. Just as Loki was not on the side of the gods or the giants, Neo did not cooperate with the protagonists, but she also was not completely on the side of the antagonists, causing problems for both sides.
As for the Phoenix/Night's theory of the nine realms:
Asgard, Wanaheim and Jotunheim together can be considered the land to which the divine brothers went. Why ? Well, vikings considered giants a race of gods like Aesir, after all, Loki is by birth a giant, but he is counted among the gods. In addition, the first Aesir, Buri, married Bestla, a giantess, so basically every God has some giants' blood in him.
While this part of the Alfheim and Svartalfheim theory is possible and interesting, a small error has crept in here. Svartalfheim and Nidavelirr are the same land, inhabited by dark elves (the inhabitants of Scandinavia considered dwarves and dark elves to be the same race) while Helheim was not part of Niflheim, but a separate realm. Niflheim and Muspellheim existed before anything else, and it was out of the mists of Niflheim and the fire of Muspell that the first living thing emerged - the giant Ymir.
It is rather doubtful that the Grimm come from Muspell as most of them have little to do with fire and it was mentioned that the god of darkness himself created Grimm. Personally, I think that they have more to do with the land of mists, because poisonous rivers flowed through Nifelheim, which could be compared to the Grimm River, which Salem used during the attack on Atlas, but as I mentioned - overinterpretation. Midgard is of course a Remnant and there is not much to add here.
If I ever have an idea related to this topic, I will try to remember to edit this comment, but for the moment that's all. As I mentioned, it is only my overinterpretation and I understand if someone does not agree with it, so I encourage you to comment and discuss.
Damn, you wrote this much and no one replied, I will, by stating that I'm impressed of how well you know things about this mithology, what have you said makes a lot of sense and I can see the writers taking their inspiration from here. I really want to see how eveything plays out in the end, perhaps they thought people would eventually figure out the mithology resamblance and try to make their own story
@@alexnegut1 Oh man, I didn't think anyone would answer. I just wanted to share my thoughts.
Thanks 😅👍
@@David.M.R. No problem man, you did a pretty good job lol, 🤣🤭
Oh boy. Whenever there are realms or alternate realities in any medium, things start to get... weird.
A few thoughts about RWBY:
1) I did mention to a friend that I would like to see Team RWBY eventually come back to the rest of the story with Aura, Semblance, and Weapons evolved and changed from what they were when they originally left.
2) Can you have some fun covering the RWBY - Justice League comic?
When you mentioned Niflheim, the first thing I thought of for some reason was the place where Salem usually resides and creates grim, but that wouldn’t make a lot of sense. I really hope Rwby puts in some kind of afterlife realm though because I really want to see an interaction between Jaune and dead Pyrrha 🤞
I think there might be notable areas on the island that represent the nine realms and seeing everyone that died could make for some GREAT content. Grimm are seeing crawling out of the Goop perhaps it doesn't make them but it a portal from another realm like you suggest. I'd love to see the origins of the Grimm.
TeamAliveTorchwick
Teamalivetorchwick for the win
This is a nice theory especially about Nora. But I think the theory could fit Jaune better, we know Nora was abandoned by her mother in Mistral.
But Jaune's backstory and where he lives has been ambiguous to the point that even his sister Saphron didn't even say where she and Jaune live. Even their older sister in red should've left home, but only Jaune and Saphron are living away.
Despite everything, Jaune was the only character introduced that seems unfamiliar with remnant. Even to the point he didn't know what aura was despite his age.
He has been to that one village in Anima, but if anything that only serves to confuse me more.
Aside from the notes on Norse mythology
I honestly don't think they would go the route of making Nora a frickin alien
Nor do I think the God of light would give Ambrosius the power to allow humans to access the afterlife at all
Plus
I think it's worth pointing put that Ambrosius didn't create the actual space where the walkways were, or it would have disappeared entirely
Just the doors and roads
I hope there is a season 9... I enjoyed RWBY, mostly for the music, but the story was good too.
This defintely makes a lot of sense, I would also say that its possible that Salem's lair is also another realm, probably a realm of darkness. But lots of characters like Emerald, Cinder, etc come and go from Salem's dominion (land with purple goop) so it could actually be on remnant. I was always confused about that
Okay I'm loving this theory. Rooster Teeth should just hire you as a write at this point. If nothing else, they need to be watching your videos writing copious notes!
I think they'll go Back and forth from Vacuo and Wonderland.
BTW,I like how you referenced the Avengers.
Watching this video made me understand Sword Art Online from maybe 40% to 100%. I was also waiting for a Miraculous reference, but Im glad there wasn't one because that just would have been more on my brain 🤯
But the fact that you had to learn 9 different Realms/Races and Norse Mythology, 👏 for effort and we appreciate it!
If Jaune did visit the dwarves, he could either get Crocea Mors repaired or upgraded, or possibly even get a new weapon entirely. I doubt it would be the last one, but I think the first two might be possible. (Side note: Ruby would freak out if she visited this realm, as it's the blacksmith of the Gods. She'd be a kid in a candy shop.)
Remember Qrow telling the crew about the 2 brothers. The brother of Darkness created the Grimm
Yes, he created the Grimm on Remnant but the Grimm could easily have existed elsewhere first and the god of darkness recreated them or even just brought them from another realm. Qrow is only human and the history he knows is from Ozpin, who doesnt exactly tell the truth and likely does not know everything about the gods either
I remember coming up with some theories for what each realm could function as/what races come from there like a week after the finale. (This is gonna be a long comment but I've been studying Norse mythology for a hot second so I went a lil ham):
Asgard:
God of Light’s domain
Midgard: Remnant
Muspelheim:
God of Darkness’ domain + Grim origin land
Alfheim:
Vault’s dimension or Beach where RWBY+JN landed (Or possibly home of the Relic Ghosts)
Nidavellir:
Chibiverse (This is a major stretch and highkey a joke one but why not)
Vanaheim: Vault’s dimension and/or home of the Relic Spirits (Jinn/Ambrosius and the other Relic Spirits could be like the Vanir, or they could draw from Vanaheim being the world in Norse mythology known for its gorgeous weather/greenery/sunshine, which matches with the vaults’ appearance.)
Valhalla/Hel/Nifleheim: Afterlife realm thing (the exact description in the Google doc was "CRWBY wants to see us cry; Could give us closure on Summer, Roman, Pyhrra, etc.; could confirm certain character deaths (Mainly Roman, Adam/Watts/Ironwood but I doubt it T_T)"
Jotunheim: ???
Surtalfheim: ???
Other notes I had:
Pathways to the portals where RWBY+JN fell could represent the Bifrost (AKA Rainbow Bridge)
Jotunheim and Surtalfheim could be new worlds w/ new races/characters
The God of Animals (Faunus originator guy) could have a dedicated domain, most likely Alfheim or Vanaheim, but there are decent cases for both like the Relic Spirits, so one will most likely be for them and the other for the God of Animals (Ex. Ambro and Jinn being from Vanaheim, the Faunus being from Alfheim, and vice-versa)
If Pyrrha does show up again, Jaune shouldn't be the only one to talk with her. Ruby should as well since she tried to save her too. It was a very impactful death for her since she saw it and couldn't stop it.
And of course, Ruby might encounter Summer, if the person in question is in fact dead.
My 2 questions are
- Will the relic of destruction and choice will be in these realms?
- Will the 6 characters that dropped (plus penny's corpse) are going to be in the same realm as ruby or will they land in different realms and that they will meet up on that giant ass tree? (Kinda reminds me of there initiation where they land in different areas and that they will meet in one specific area)
The relics are on Vacuo and beacon respectively
Cinder never found the Vault in Beacon and she says Vacuo was supposed to be attacked before Atlas but a change of plans happened in her absence
I mean technically there's a 4th afterlife called Fólkvangr but it's more of a norse only thing because it's made by Freya a goddess of war and death but also love and Beauty and its where half of the people who die in battle go and the other half go to Valhalla so there's a chance if they go to Valhalla or Fólkvangr that we could see pyyrha there cause she died in a battle against cinder so maybe but highly likely that's not gonna happen
That Theory around 8:00, is just amazing, just IMAGINE !!
I think Ruby becomes more Sadness and depressed after the journey in the dimension.
If the Vanian (don't know how to spell it) is equal but opposite to Asgard, and the gods of Light and Darkness are, again, equal and opposite of each other... Wouldn't then they would be "gods" from each of those two worlds that simply came together in a mutual project?
I actually had a funny thought. I was watch Ben 10 Alien Force, specifically the episodes that featured Professor Paradox, the Ben 10 equivalent of the Doctor. And I thought; how funny would it be if Paradox just popped in and offered his assistance and then just brings Ben into this whole mess. I know it's extremely dumb, but it would absolutely be the really funny kind of dumb.
So why did I comment here. Simple. In the Omniverse episode "And Then There Were None", Paradox uses a giant tree to help explain the Mulitverse Theory, Quantum Mechanics, and String Theory. And then I remembered "Hey there was a big tree at the end Volume 8." So yeah. That's where my brain went. Because of reasons not even I can fathom.
I mean I have read a fanfic with Ben 10 in Rwby if you want to check it out
@@omnidragon2260 Cool. I'm down!
Phoenix you came up with some great theories
The other world is Mata Nui from Bionicle, I mean think about it!
>Island paradise
>They fell from the sky like the toa
>There’s two suns/planets
Fite me
My biggest question about RWBY is how the Faunus came to be? There are stories about the Gods of Animals who seems to have created them to end a war between humans and animals? If that is the case, we never saw him or her on the show and he or she might still be around.
There's a theory that the brothers were the ones in those stories
I'm all for meeting Pyrrha again, but I really don't think she should come back to life. Not only would it go against the gods rule about bringing back the dead, but it will also undermine and undo the meaning of her sacrifice when she fought Cinder and the encounter Jaune had at the statue in Argus. Meet her again to give Jaune and the other closure, yes. Bringing her back to life, just to appease the "fans", no. I just don't see why and how some people can't accept her death. Also, I think all of the characters have all landed on the island, but on different parts of it. Each one of them will be on different parts of the island and have different encounters with past mistakes and regrets. Jaune with Penny and Pyrrha, Blake with Adam, Yang with Raven, Weiss with her family, Neo with Roman and Ruby with Summer, or something along those lines. Each one will encounter some personal stuff that will make them stronger. Or they could meet one other character and go through the island together. Ruby and Neo, Blake and Yang, Jaune and Weiss. Ruby and Neo will call a truce until they figure out how to escape, during which time Neo will change sides. Blake and Yang will encounter each other where they talk about personal feelings and confess to each other. Jaune and Weiss will meet and Weiss will help Jaune through his trauma of killing Pyrrha where she will discover her feelings for him. Kara said that this was her favorite Volume and we know she is a huge White Knight shipper, so that could be part of the reason. I think the World Tree will be the only way they escape the island by using the Bifrost. Oh, I've missed these theory videos
I don’t think the show will bring back Pyrrha, maybe in this dimension, however not in the world of Remnant. It sucked that she died unfortunately, but the writers know that’s a bad move to make. I do hope that her and others from the past make a return. I think possibly battling with them or talking to them. This might be a more calm volume than the last two.
@@emilitia9106 You should spread the word that you don't approve of Pyrrha coming back to life and the writers think it's a bad move. It may help with those who are refusing to accept her death. Lord knows why
The only problem with Nora being from another realm is that Nora has a semblance.
To my knowledge it's been implied that semblances are a leftover of the magic people used to have. So it would be something linked to Remnant specifically.
Unless similar things (god of darkness destroying humanity) happened in other universes, which is possible.
Jaune and Ruby with Penny. Jaune and Pyrrha. Weiss and Jaques. Blake and Adam. Neo and Roman. Ruby and Yang with Summer... that is, if she's dead. I really don't think she is. I'm not sure about the whole Nora being from another realm, but everything else was really interesting.
It's stated the nuclkavee was created by salem(grafted them togather),and it's stated that the dark brother created the grimm. ON REMNANT!
And here I am thinking that when they fell they went straight to the summer relic in Shade Academy in Vacuo. And here they are going to summon the God of the summer relic. I thought of this coz every relic in RWBY was in some place that it wasn't from Ramnent. And I also don't think that they will be able to meet this God coz they don't know how to summon it, but when they take the relic in their hand it will lead them straight to the academy where they will be trying to save all people from Atlas and Mental and their friends from the desert.
I predicting this unknown location is Yggdrasil within the center of the universe containing all the nine realms including Remnant making 10.
im gonna be honest i havent enjoyed the show too much in recent volumes but i still love the hell out of your theories. Also im not trying to hate on the show im just stating my opinion. have a great day peeps
I don’t think Nora should be revealed to be a part of some kind of Magical race. I think its better if Nora is just a human who has worked hard to become as strong as she is, rather than someone who has just inherited most of her strength. While it’s kind of cool to have Nora be a part of some special race, I feel like it would make her a weaker character.
That’s cool! It’s interesting that we don’t know how she got to Ren’s village so I bet she has some kind of cool past!
One thing I'm hoping that happens is that Ruby finds the realm of the dead so she can talk with the silver eyed warrior that was the hound
I know I'm late to the theory here but I doubt CRWBY would write something this intriguing
I LOVE this theory video
Frankly, there being two different sets of gods can actually work, it could be that the Brothers are indeed Brothers but they are more like representations of two sides of the same coin. Cause the Asgardians are an aggressive warrior race who destroy, while the Vanir are a more peaceful warrior race who create instead of destroy (like cultivating farms instead of going out to take the food that they need from others).
I'm really curious about how this new realm works. Is there a time dilation, is their aura affected in some capacity, what's with the hexagons? These are questions that need answers!
Something just came up. A theory if you like. What if whilst in this alterative realm, Ruby and the others will either find themselves without their aura or Semblance, or they their abilities become amplified? I thought of this since Remnant was stripped by the gods of or had its source of magic broken down to dust and auras.
Great minds think alike XD I have another theory video planned covering that exact idea, hopefully it will be out next week sometime
Interesting theory
5 bucks says all those people who fell off prior to team rwby survive but will be fonder for the creatures on the island namely the gigantic six legged starfish
Just realized if true. It means our realm. Earth or Migard is there somewhere. After all the grimn have to be inspired or thought up by a possible realm one with imagination or nightmares
If I may ask, do you have some idea of when SRPH will continue?
The big tree could possibly be Yggdrasil in our world and the location could be 💀 🏝, the legendary home of King Kong (if they will do a crossover).
It’s definitely gonna relate to Alice and wonderland. Unless I’ve forgotten someone, they’ve never done Alice in wonderland based characters which is weird because it’s a big fairy tale
Yang into darkness blake into light Weiss into fire
There is a volume 9 short where actually nothing happends, we just see Neo and Ruby as they fall. But I am wondering how volume 9 and Yggdrasil are going to tie into the story. Also it would give us possibly even more characters to slap into the Phoenix festival 2022 :P.
Ruby is in Asgard lol
Edit: Also had the idea that Ruby fell into Valhalla, and was going to use that as part of a fanfic.
I think it's where the sword of destruction is
Isn't this just that Beach Island Location? Forgot the name.
well they have to be in the same world, on the same island, just in different locations of the island, that would inquire them to find each other, and their weapons too.
Oh god , if this theory is true then the story just got even more complex
As a Christian I believe that RWBY actually did a couple of things from the Bible. The end of humanity and it's second time around, much like Noah and the Ark. Perhaps RWBY takes inspiration from many religions and beliefs.
It’s literally a show about taking inspiration from stories about myth, legends, and fairy tales which all mingle with religion in various capacities.
I’d be more surprised if they didn’t… also “no new stories under the sun”
Could Vanaheim be the realm where genius like Ambrosius and Jinn are? They are not quite gods, but they have a superior power
Hey I got a question for is neo actually Nora Valkyrie’s sister or what I would really like to know
Ruby could also encounter Summer... If she's not a Hound already.
Just something random of note I just thought of. Dust was said to no longer function outside the atmosphere of Remnant. But it works fine in this other realm. I wonder if that has any correlation.
So. . . they’re not gods, they’re goa'uld!
And continuing the pop culture references: If we’re getting multiple realms on a world tree with powerful yet fallable gods. . . okay what’s RWBY’s take on Vorinclex?
Also, the Nuckelavee is from Orkney Isles folklore in Scotland. It draws from both Celtic and Nordic myth, but isn’t exclusive to either.
Vorinclex referencing MTG right?
@@exquisitetoast3859 Yup. Specifically Kaldheim.
This made me laugh. I’ve actually been watching all of Stargate SG-1 with my roommates who are going through it for the first time.
This is also related to turtle island
The staff of creation did not create the safe for the other Relics. For example it made Atlas is floating at the same time They entered the vault. And he can only create one thing at a time. Ozpin and everyone else was able the vaults While Atlas was still floating.
Another thing that should RT go with the world tree idea is ratatorskr ( most definitely horribleness butchered) a squirrel that travels across the world tree delivering messages of the asir and vanir .there is also the dragon ( whose name I forgot )that lives at the bottom of the tree always eating away at the roots and a great big bird ( whose name I also forget )that always send great burst of winds down the world tree. Ratatorskr in the rwby universe could still be a messenger but also help ferry those wishing to travel across worlds and keeping them safe from the dragon and bird
This is just my thoughts and ideas would be cool to see a giant squirrel help team RWBY and co travel across the world tree
Or the Gods can be called 2 diffrent species related via something like adoption by some higher power
2 different race of gods would be pretty difficult to show in RWBY
Me : I mean it's already difficult to show difference between magic and semblance so yeah it be difficult
*Finishes the video.*
I don't really believe, that nora is from a different race.
(Due to a few things.)
One: She has a semblance not magic. Or at least any signs of showing the latter from what I can tell.
Two: If she was from an other race. Does that any other sentient races outside of remnant have aura and semblances?
(I know, it was said all living beings have it. If I remembering correctly. But we've seen no other races besides the humans, faunus, grimm and possibly nornal fish so far. With the former two having active aura.)
Unless, they can have aura. Or nora is a specific creation from either god. (Or both of them.) Or had some sort special involvement with them, i don't see that as a possibility.
(About the gods being apart of a race.)
It's a possibility, but i am not sure.
(About the gods creating their own races outside of remnant.)
Another possibility, but then the main characters may end up world jump a time or two more. While the story and main fights are in remnant.
(About the land of the dead.)
If there is one fused, then ruby and yang should see summer. Unless the latter is somehow grimmfied. (Or just penny for ruby.)
Weiss maybe her father or grand father.
Jaime would most likely see pyrrha. If she's dead. And not involved some sort of maiden magical witchery.
Neo would probably end up seeing torchwick. If he is actually dead.
I have no clue, if blake would see someone, she cared for that died. If she did it would be part of a plot device. For vol 9 or 10.
(Depending on whether or not vol nine is strictly vacuo and oscar's group.)
What if they try to bring back one person? Who would it be?
Well, technically the land of fire is more like a realm of Fire Giants and I guess also some form of demons. But the Fire Giants are the ones who call the shots.
This chart is inaccurate. In all the sources I could find, Svartalfheim and Nidavellir are one and the same, Dark Elves being a synonym for dwarfs
The nine realms being Midgard, Asgard, Vanaheim, Hel/Helheim, Muspel/Muspelheim, Niflheim, Alfheim/Ljosalfheim, Nidavellir/Svartalfheim, and Jotunheim
Niflheim is the primordial realm of ice, Hel is the domain of the dishonoured dead
But
There is also a misty void between the realms, Ginnungagap, and a bonus location for the honoured dead in Vanaheim ruled by Freya, called Folkvanger
I didn’t know Nidavellir and Svartalfheim were the same place. Thanks bro!
15.00: there are 2 more dead or potentially dead people we might encounter.
1) adam
2)summer rose
I believe everyone who fell will have an important encounter with a deceased person
Jaune will meet phyrra, neo will meet roman, blake and yang will encounter adam. And everyone but neo will see penny, who may be their "guide" in the land of the dead. And ruby will search for summer, but fail to find her. And this way in season 9 we will be teased that summer rose is still alive
Oh and adidtionally weiss may find her dad
When you mention asgard and vanaheim what if the brother of light was from vanaheim (or what ever the RWBY name of it) and the Brother of "Dark" is from asgard (or what ever the RWBY name of it) that could be a possibility
Like the 2 realms are two sides of the same coin and the brother are really the same person but are 2 alternate versions of them self one of only the dark in their heart and one of light in their heart
And the 2 realms that they came from was once the same realm
Team rwby eill be able to comevack to the overworld by using raven's semblence. Raven uses her semblence to find yang, hopefully all of them are together if that actually happens
Niflheim: land of dead probably the same in RWBY, Asgard: land of the gods probably the same in RWBY, vanaheim: my theory is that this is where the spirits of the crown, staff, lamp, and sword are from, I don't really think the other realms will matter much (besides Midgard obviously)
I wonder if it’s going to be like a Jules Vern journey to the center of the earth vibe?
I doubt that we will see penny if that happens because she is a part of winter
If the realms all have different races of people. Would it be a stretch to say that the Faunus are from a different realms?
Do you ever think that Taiyang will ever join them on their journey
When Ambrosius said "Do Not Fall" and they didn't ask him "Why?" and "What the other side of Fall?"...so what does that means?
If they did ambrosius would say Trust me if you think trying not to fall it's hard it's gonna be harder to get out of where you fell
It's not his job to give answers to questions. That would be giving knowledge, that being the function of Jinn.
