20 minutes...Penny was human for 20 F***ing minutes. She had time for 3 hugs and a battle, didn’t even get shoes and they killed her. I’m going to grab some Ouzo, a box of tissues, head to the basement, and go to the heavy bag, ‘cause I need to drink, cry, and hit things.
4 hugs, yes, that’s the important part to take away here. Please excuse the bitterness, there’s a mostly empty bottle of ouzo, a half empty box of Kleenex, and a heavy bag that has my knuckles imprinted in it....along with some bruises. I’m slightly unhappy with CRWBY.
@@MrCrazyLeprechaun but they can no longer recover her memory drive because her body self destructed. So she may be rebuilt by Pietro, but Pietro will die transferring the last of his semblance, and Penny will have no memories
Jaune was happy for too long. Can't have anyone that optimistic for more than 2 volumes I guess. This was much more haunting than the Pyrrha situation. Not to mention this is gonna really mess up Ruby. Her best friend killed her other best friend.
@@manwithoutmercy Yeah, I think Ruby's a slightly better judge of character than we give her credit for. I mean, Pyrrha apologized to Ruby, and she immediately didn't blame her. So, I think Ruby will have that initial reaction, but, she'll likely understand.
But I think that the different world they fell into isn't just a physical place, it's like a ... metaphysical plane, state of the mind. So if she was dead I don't think they'd find her there.
Penny's death is on cinder's hands. What Juane did was so she can choose who the power goes to. Honestly, it wasn't a fair request, that had to be traumatizing.
@@lavenderandchrysanthemums9441 this is the third one The 2nd one was when watts hacked pennys body and after penny gets her real body the robot body was destroyed which still technically penny
18:40 Jaune sent Nora through the portal. He told her to go get any Huntsman/Huntresses that could help and bring them back, not realising they couldn't come back through from Vacuo. Also, you've probably found out by now, but the song at the end credits, 'Friend', is Penny's song!
My theory is that weiss and jaune will stay in one part of the island, ruby, blake and neo in another part, and yang in another part also but alone. I think weiss will be the person who will help jaune go through this terrible time of having killed penny, while ruby and neo fight and argue about her not having killed Roman and Yang explores the island and likely that she will be the person to find a possible new character
yea i wonder if now ruby, blake and neo are going to have to hash things out with their words and then neo is going to have some wrath for cinder.. i hope she comes back to bite cinder in the butt she betrayed emerald but neo is someone that will come back and bite her lol
cinders habit sloppy betraying and carelessness is something that will come back for her i think. she really didnt learn anything of watts's speach from a few eps ago. her arrogance is still strong lol
@@bananabread4127 lol only if shes into it and i still dont think she's into it. if she aint into itt it wont matter how much alone time they spend together they will just be friends..lol i think the spark has to be there. and so far from what i have seen it's non existent.
@@Spore0011 Yes, I think if someone has to kill cinder it has to be neo because of revenge by Roman, ruby and jaune has a fight with her, yes, but they are not murderers like neo, so I don't think they should kill her
Most of Grimm's Fairy Tales have tragic or gruesome ends.... they weren't originally ment to be light hearted and uplifting but rather ment to keep kids in line through fear.....i love rwby because it takes these children's horror stories and uses them to teach the value each life has and that no mater how hard it gets you fight on and move forward.
Penny's story is sad but its also beautiful and hopeful in the end she got everything she ever wanted, she had friends who saw her her as so much more than a machine then she finally got to feel what it was like to be truly alive and make her own choices..... the saddest part is that she died thinking most of her friends had died in that battle which is why she chose winter to get the power she thought ruby was dead... and omg her song friend made me cry as much or more than the episode....
Honestly I can't decide if I want that or if I would hate that. I think Jaune will be the one who ultimately kills Cinder, but I think he'll go through a volume or two where we see him wrestling with himself over Penny's death. His inspiration-and namesake, Joan of Arc-is famously quoted as having said her sword would never shed the blood of an innocent. Immediately after killing Penny, his sword is broken. If that's not intentional symbolism, I don't know what is.
I had the same "doesn't set in early"; it really kicked in listening to the end credits song. "Do hugs always make you feel this warm?" "The day that you appeared and called me friend" "We'll do so many friendship things! Paint our nails, try on clothes, talk about cute boys.."
Can we all collectively clap and congratulate the CRWBY for delivering one hell of an amazing volume. They went above and beyond for this one. They always do, but volume 8 was something else :)
@@arcanekingdomgames Salem still needs Cinder to open the vault to the Relic of Choice when they eventually find it. After that it’s anyone’s guess whether Salem will keep her around.
Well, technically he and Pyrrha weren't lovers, but she was in love with him. He was clueless up until she kissed him before sending him off in a rocket launcher. But regardless, survivor's guilt is a bitch, and he's probably gonna always feel like he failed his partner
I was surprised at first that Cinder killed Wats but it actually makes sense; because he the last person who knows what Cinder really did and she can't have him spilling the beans about her lies to Salem so she had no choice but to kill him to silence him ;)
plus she just straight up hated the guy, along with Neo so getting rid of them while gaining this victory is just three birds with one stone, I mean I’m pretty sure Salem is possibly aware she lied or something but she doesn’t care cause she’s impressed with the victory
I got the feeling that the place Team Rwby, Jaune and Neo are is some how connected with the vaults and thats how the get back to the others in the end
If that's true, then they'll have to exit using the Atlas vault door, so hopefully that's still intact. Hopefully Qrow and his group go down looking for survivors. (Technically they could also exit through the vault in Mistral since that's also still open but it's so far away from everyone else I don't think that'll happen.)
If Watts really is dead, I think that's quite the loss for Salmes factions. After all, they've got a lot of fighters and more are easy to come by. But few, and probably no one Salem could get to join her, are as good at technology as Watts was.
There in much worst shape than they think. Watts and hazel are dead, Emerald has defected, Neo will never trust work with them again and Mercury is definitely not on board with Salem's endgame. They only have Salem, Tyrian and Cinder now, unless they have backup. Cinder keeps piling up the stupid decisions.
@@KitsyX Ay. But let's also not forget that while the kingdom is gone, it's people, including the ones who studied its technology, are still alive. Technology can always be rebuild, as long as the knowledge on know how to do it still exists. Also, if I remember correctly, the virus Cinder and her team used in Vol. 2 and 3 was made by him. And we all know its importance to the fall of Beacon.
@@KitsyX Had Cinder kept Atlas from falling, Salem would be able to use the entire kingdom as a breeding grounds for Grimm, and a mobile base. Watts could help take control of their tech.
My Wonderland theory is that the 6 of them (plus any surviving random people who got thrown off by Cinder), take on new character forms in the magical place, and lose their original memories. But somehow, they will feel out of place and something not quite right. Eventually something will jolt their memory back, like finding their weapons from their previous life. That is when they realise they don't belong there, and need to find their way back home. Time will flow at a different rate in that magical place. It's entirely possible those 6 may live out entire lifetimes there, but only a short time passed in Remnant. When they return back to Remnant, they will revert back to their youthful forms, but retain a lifetime of experience, hence changing them. How do they make it back? It will be through the vaults but from the other side. They will figure out that the other world is connected to the vaults, and so make their way to the sword of destruction. Then they enter Shade academy from the other side of the vault door. They may even use the sword's power to force their way in, since they don't have the summer maiden to open the door.
Rest in peace Penny. You had best character arc, and it came to a conclusion. She made scarfies for her friends. I love Penny so much. We love you Penny
Hey Cal!!! I'm rewatching this after watching your Discussion and someone mentioned "If Weiss had no Aura how did she survive the final eye blast from Cinder " and the Answer is that Jaune shield her with his Aura like he did to Nora in vol6 against to Mech. So there's a good chance (Not good but you understand) that the People did die form the explosion and we can just focus on Team RWBY, Jaune and Neo💕
@@solidust573 They'll face judgement only if the 4 relics are brought together. But what if they meet the Gods accidentally, here in this realm, before getting all relics?
When Ozma's talking to the light god he asks where they are and the light god responds "We are BETWEEN realms". I'm guessing it's neither life nor the afterlife.
I know people might not like hearing this but bravo to Cinder. She literally smartened up and realized that her power alone cant achieve anything but if she uses peoples gifts/talents like Salem does she can achieve so much more. Also as seen in the finale betray them in the end so she can take all the glory. THAT IS TRULY A CHECKMATE! Bravo Cinder.
Yeah, but taking out Salem's best minion is definitely poor strategy, albeit good tactics from her perspective. Though I suppose hacking skills aren't going to be super useful in Vacuo.
@@Mirality yeah, Watts was probably at his most useful dealing with Atlas. After that he'd have diminishing returns and likely would have been "phased out" (murdered) before too long anyways. (Might not even be a poor strategy, if she's starting to value her own plans over Salems, now that I think on it.) This has been a bit of a costly victory for Salem, huh? Hazel? Traitor then dead. Watts? Cooked. (We don't see a body but I don't see a way he lives so...) Now all of Remnant knows she's here! (mulan meme) so they can prepare. She does have the lamp (but it's useless) and the staff (she gonna do something scary with that shit) and an actually competent Cinder now so it probably more than evens out in her favor by quite a bit still.
To be fair, 2 of the girls are definitely gonna be spooning together, one is gonna be pissed that he killed her girl/friend, another one is a mute assassin trying to kill the previous girl, and the one he has the most chance with is an Ice Queen who turned down his advances for a blue geek.
@@apophis7712 and Knowing Weiss she will be with Ruby like always either to hold her back from doing something she will regret or help her move on. From everyone Jaune and Ruby will be the ones who will need comfort
You know what I want Jaune Arc to kill Cinder in the future volumes. Because it would be a perfect irony and reality check that Cinder gets. Cinder, who is considered to be a powerful and strong maiden end up being defeated, by someone she presume to be powerless and weak. How is that for poetry?
Wouldn't Penny's body have fallen into the void too when the roads disappeared? Imagine how fucked up it would be if Ruby just stumbled upon Penny's dead body
Todays death count according to what others know: Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Neo, Jaune, Ironwood, Watts, Vine and an unknown number of civilians. Those going to wonderland: Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Neo, Jaune and about 20 or so civilians.
Visually this volume was probably the best storywise... anyways I for next volume I predict that everyone who fell will see someone that died. Ruby and Yang will see summer rose. Weiss will see Jauqes. Blake will see Adam, Jaune will see Pyrrha and Neo will see Roman.
Jaune sent Nora through the portal to get Huntsmen to come back, not knowing the Vacuo portal was one-way only. Still in the wreck of Atlas, we have: Qrow, Robin, Hare, Elm, Marrow, and Ironwood and Watts - maybe. Ironwood and Watts were in Atlas when it crashed, and then flooded, so they could be dead, but I wouldn't bet on it. In "Neverland", Yang, Ruby, Blake, Wiess, Neo, Jaune, and a bunch of random citizens. In Vacuo, Oscar, Nora, Emerald, Ren, Winter, Willow, Witney, Kline, and most of the citizens, I guess. There were two cities worth of people to evacuate in a few short minutes. I really don't see more than a thousand or so making it through, so a lot would have been left behind. Mostly military and huntsmen I would guess. I figure even if team FUNKI survived the battle, they are dead now. Where the hell Piedro and Maria ended up is beyond me.
I think the original plan for Amity before it was damaged was for them to fly it to Vacuo, so that would be the direction they drifted in. Unfortunately, all we got from Pietro was that they'd touch down "just north" of someplace.
Me and a couple of people on another Discord have came to the conclusion this may be on one of the Dragon continents. Going back and rewatching Volume 6 this is possibly the Tree of Life that the God Bro of Light was chillin' under, Its just gotten bigger. And hearing again to the name of the story that Oscar was telling Oz "The Girl who fell through the World" hints at this. Like maybe a Maiden accidentally fell into this inky blackness, not knowing that it kind of acts like a teleporter, and wind up on one of these continents and probably met the God Bros. That may explain the "change" that the girl went through, she met the Creators.
That was a great reaction Calxiyn. You n Hunter r one of my favorite rwby reactors. Volume 8 was amazing. The CRWBY team have done a great job with volume 8. I can't wait for the volume 8 soundtrack n volume 9 n I can't wait for your guys r reactions
20:08 "she looks like the death eaters from Harry Potter" Yes, thank you! Had that same thought watching this episode. Salem's entrance gave me major Voldemort/Death Eater vibes
I would just like to say 3 things. 1. I called ironwood being way better in a fight than alot gave him credit for, he beat winter until she got the powers. 2. I'm very glad jaune fell, because not only is he my favorite character so I'll get to see more of him in volume 9 but he's also incredibly useful with his semblance. And 3. The big tree at the end give me vibes of 2 things, either never land, or ygdrasil the world tree from Norse mythology
i did a video on the island and i wish it's the afro/Caribbean story about Bonancy....the story is about a spider that lives on a beautiful island and grants you anything your heart desires silver,gold or a loved one that's past and while he's granting you your wish he puts you in a trance and spins his web around you and devours you alive....Jaune,Neo,Ruby and Yang are at risk...there's only 3 weapons that fell Neo's,Blake's,Yang has her's and Ruby's i believe and Bonancy is huge and terrifying.😶
Cinder got rid of Neo and Watts so no one snitches on her for using the lamp
Gotta get rid of the whistleblowers.
Funny that people would think Neo would be able to snitch on anyone

(Might not even be a poor strategy, if she's starting to value her own plans over Salems, now that I think on it.)
This has been a bit of a costly victory for Salem, huh?
Hazel? Traitor then dead.
Watts? Cooked. (We don't see a body but I don't see a way he lives so...)
Now all of Remnant knows she's here! (mulan meme) so they can prepare.
She does have the lamp (but it's useless) and the staff (she gonna do something scary with that shit) and an actually competent Cinder now so it probably more than evens out in her favor by quite a bit still.
And so the villians win, and more suffering happened
Also the eyeshadow 🤩🤩🤩
This episode was insane and I can’t wait to see what volume 9 brings.
The fact the voice actor or Jaune just ZOOP in pain I can actually feel as well
I’d love to see Cinder get bodied by the other 3 maidens simultaneously 😂😂😂
Jaune alone on an island with 5 girls: Oh yeah, it's all coming together
To be fair, 2 of the girls are definitely gonna be spooning together, one is gonna be pissed that he killed her girl/friend, another one is a mute assassin trying to kill the previous girl, and the one he has the most chance with is an Ice Queen who turned down his advances for a blue geek.
@@apophis7712 and Knowing Weiss she will be with Ruby like always either to hold her back from doing something she will regret or help her move on.
From everyone Jaune and Ruby will be the ones who will need comfort
16:28 I love that theme it sounds so epic
The ending felt like a kingdom hearts reference from destiny island.
Nope, that's Madagascar. The Volume 9 trailer will feature King Julian.
23:39 I have theory that Penny or Pyrrha would actually help Jaune to get through away from what he had fall.
My heart is broken and will never be healed. That credit song made me ugly cry lol
This is my new favorite season if I’m being completely honest
Favorite three:
1.) V8
2+3.) V3 and V6 are tied
I’m surprised that people thought they wouldn’t do Human Penny like that, remember what they did to Sienna Khan?
I will wait for the day Cinder will get a brutal ending she deserves.
she dropped the "You should never have been born" card on Ruby, that always ends with an ass kicking
Vine really said we are groot
You know what I want Jaune Arc to kill Cinder in the future volumes. Because it would be a perfect irony and reality check that Cinder gets. Cinder, who is considered to be a powerful and strong maiden end up being defeated, by someone she presume to be powerless and weak. How is that for poetry?
That would be surprisingly poetic.
Yeah I want Jaune to be hero.
Maybe we'll finally meet The Girl Who Fell Through The World since it was revealed it wasn't Salem
Wouldn't Penny's body have fallen into the void too when the roads disappeared? Imagine how fucked up it would be if Ruby just stumbled upon Penny's dead body
Oh my god, I'm gonna cry with Ruby if that's going to be the case. I couldn't handle that.
“...in a single day and night of misfortune, the island of Atlantis disappeared into the depths of the sea.”
-Plato, 360 B.C.
IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW IT LOOKED LIKE THEY VANISHED JUST LIKE PYRRAH???
Or how the Light Brother killed Ozma after the Dark Brother brought him back to life?
I AM HERE FOR THE TEARS AND THE DESPAIR!
Todays death count according to what others know: Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Neo, Jaune, Ironwood, Watts, Vine and an unknown number of civilians.
Those going to wonderland: Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Neo, Jaune and about 20 or so civilians.
Visually this volume was probably the best storywise... anyways I for next volume I predict that everyone who fell will see someone that died. Ruby and Yang will see summer rose. Weiss will see Jauqes. Blake will see Adam, Jaune will see Pyrrha and Neo will see Roman.
Jaune sent Nora through the portal to get Huntsmen to come back, not knowing the Vacuo portal was one-way only.
Still in the wreck of Atlas, we have: Qrow, Robin, Hare, Elm, Marrow, and Ironwood and Watts - maybe. Ironwood and Watts were in Atlas when it crashed, and then flooded, so they could be dead, but I wouldn't bet on it.
In "Neverland", Yang, Ruby, Blake, Wiess, Neo, Jaune, and a bunch of random citizens.
In Vacuo, Oscar, Nora, Emerald, Ren, Winter, Willow, Witney, Kline, and most of the citizens, I guess. There were two cities worth of people to evacuate in a few short minutes. I really don't see more than a thousand or so making it through, so a lot would have been left behind. Mostly military and huntsmen I would guess. I figure even if team FUNKI survived the battle, they are dead now.
Where the hell Piedro and Maria ended up is beyond me.
Watts and Ironwood died, Watts burned, and Ironwood got crushed from the impact
I think the original plan for Amity before it was damaged was for them to fly it to Vacuo, so that would be the direction they drifted in. Unfortunately, all we got from Pietro was that they'd touch down "just north" of someplace.
24:50
*Why is this song so happy* Yea about that
So, who votes we all call the island they landed on Madagascar until we get an actual name.
Cultured. 😌
Love that eye shadow Caxilyn! very festive for the occassion!
In the end, it's always goddamn Yggdrasil (27:34)
Poor Jaune redheads with p in their name aren't your specialty
So, does that mean Atlas is actually Atlantis?
Are we getting a "Friend" reaction/crying video?
Nora was told to "bring back huntsman" from the other side, not knowing it was a one way exit.
The ending song generated more tears than the entire volume..
What if qrow and crew flew that ship back to get Tai and glinda on their way to vacuo next season
*PENNY...!!* Dang'it ya bastards!! (lays on the ground crying)
Anybody that thought the writers brought Penny back for no reason, completely missed the point
We better get a Cinder Winter round 2 or I'll SCREAM
Me and a couple of people on another Discord have came to the conclusion this may be on one of the Dragon continents. Going back and rewatching Volume 6 this is possibly the Tree of Life that the God Bro of Light was chillin' under, Its just gotten bigger.
And hearing again to the name of the story that Oscar was telling Oz "The Girl who fell through the World" hints at this. Like maybe a Maiden accidentally fell into this inky blackness, not knowing that it kind of acts like a teleporter, and wind up on one of these continents and probably met the God Bros. That may explain the "change" that the girl went through, she met the Creators.
That was a great reaction Calxiyn. You n Hunter r one of my favorite rwby reactors. Volume 8 was amazing. The CRWBY team have done a great job with volume 8. I can't wait for the volume 8 soundtrack n volume 9 n I can't wait for your guys r reactions
Penny: "was i a good girl"
Monty: "yes"
Thank y'all both so much for a wonderful RWBY season! Your best work yet!
"Jaune, can't you do something?" 😭
Oh he did but it's not the best kind
fuck, the past few episodes were fucking depressing😭😭
20:08 "she looks like the death eaters from Harry Potter"
Yes, thank you! Had that same thought watching this episode. Salem's entrance gave me major Voldemort/Death Eater vibes
The end song was about penny
I would just like to say 3 things.
1. I called ironwood being way better in a fight than alot gave him credit for, he beat winter until she got the powers.
2. I'm very glad jaune fell, because not only is he my favorite character so I'll get to see more of him in volume 9 but he's also incredibly useful with his semblance.
And 3. The big tree at the end give me vibes of 2 things, either never land, or ygdrasil the world tree from Norse mythology
i did a video on the island and i wish it's the afro/Caribbean story about Bonancy....the story is about a spider that lives on a beautiful island and grants you anything your heart desires silver,gold or a loved one that's past and while he's granting you your wish he puts you in a trance and spins his web around you and devours you alive....Jaune,Neo,Ruby and Yang are at risk...there's only 3 weapons that fell Neo's,Blake's,Yang has her's and Ruby's i believe and Bonancy is huge and terrifying.😶
I wonder if they are being "teleported" randomly in the new world
Salem has to find more lieutenants because only cinder and tyrian are left
Hazel sacrificed himself to stop Salem and cinder killed Watts
Mercury is still there, he isn't defecting, just wants to get the fuck away from Tyrian
Me, who knows what happens: "You're gonna cry."
Did not expect this finale
The Nuts and Dolts popper ......is no longer needed 😔
(Spoiler)
Penny:gets stabbed
Cal:🚔🚔🚔🚔
How were you not crying? I still cry and this is The 4th time I watched it
I knew they'd kill her.
mostly thanks to the lovely people who've spent the last week posting spoilers everywhere.
No kidding. I had to get myself a First account again just to watch the episode without being spoiled.
RIP Murderofbirds feelings xD
My first thought during the reaction video was, now we have to wait for the soundtrack. :( And what a wait that will be.
26:37 "This song is so happy..... I resent this." Feelz bad man.
HNNN.
ATLAS
ATLANTIS. ITS UNDER WATER NOW
Such a great season of rwby can’t wait for season 9 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕👍🏾
