If Raven turns up for Qrow, I hope she brings Ty with her and although he is treated as a joke dad, he turns out to be super bad ass ( like Ichigo's dad in Bleach).
*Those are my possible scenarios/moments for Volume 8.* *+* Neo's revenge against Cinder. *+* A lot of background characters dying. A lot. *+* Cinder (eventually) coming back to Salem's side with the Relic. *+* Team RWBY running away authorities and travelling to Vacuo. *+* Oscar's character development and more dive within Ozpin's character. *+* Pietro's death. *+* More appearences on Mercury and Emerald.

If Watts is broken out I think Whitley will be the one to take him down or atleast assist in the matter... just hear me out Whitley's character inspiration is the character Artemis Fowl a young super genius who runs his fathers company in the books, so right now Jacques is probably in prison and this is an opportunity for Whitley to take over the schnee dust company to finally have relevance in the story. Also another big thing in the Artemis Fowl books is Artemis himself going up against people who are super smart and who else is a super smart genius? Watts!
Yeah But Whitley Knows Jacque Gave him The Company's heir Title not Weiss so he's Better off learning how To Unlock his Glyphs Semblance ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️🤺🤺🤺🤺🤺
Surprise plot twist, Salem can revive the dead as Grimm shadows of their former selves as long as she quickly recovers the body. Can you imagine? I don't think she can, this is a joke.
If Roman has the chance to come back then my heart will light up with the hope of Pyrrha too. I'd love @Phoenix/Night's opinion on Pyrrha's possible return: the subtle clues from Ruby's dream in the forest in volume 4 to the red-haired woman in volume 6.
Ash-n-Joker I’ve been hoping Salem notices Pyrrha was a strong huntress so maybe she turns her to Grimm and or one of her helpers like Tyrian. It would give Jaune a serious mental breakdown and I just think Ruby never reacted that largely to Penny coming back. So maybe Jaune, Ruby and probably Nora would react to her being evil now and it would give an added stressful atmosphere to all the chaos (Hope this made sense)
@@omegaheartless I don't necessarily think so. The maiden powers aren't really Salem's target; they're only important because they can unlock the relics. So while Penny is very definitely in Salem's sights (or will be, once someone like Cinder tells her who has the winter powers), Raven is probably off the hook since her associated relic is already unlocked.
@@mizumafusotrue I could certainly see Jaune ending up dead in Series 8 as JoA gets killed after being betrayed by her own side as the terms of brokering a peace deal between England and Frrance. I could certainly see Ironwood selling out team RWBY to Salem to get a cease fire.
Neo is absolutely going to kill Cinder sooner or later. I do think it's going to be a stab to the back, but honestly even if it isn't, Neo could beat Cinder in a fight. Neo is quite possibly the most powerful person in RWBY; she's one of if not the most skilled fighter we've seen, her semblance is very powerful and versatile, but on top of that she's actually one of the smartest people we've seen, she knows when to retreat, when to play along, and when to strike, and she studies her enemies carefully and waits for an opening. All of that makes her the single most dangerous character we've seen besides maybe Salem. Remember, she almost beat Cinder in a 1v1 using _just_ her illusion, and only stopped because of Cinder's maiden powers, but now she's had time to study Cinder and look for an opening, so it's basically a guaranteed victory for her. Not to mention Cinder has not been immune to taking hits and getting distracted by personal grudges, since she got her arm cut off (temporarily) while she was distracted with Penny. I think it's possible that she might be distracted by Ruby only to find Neo's hidden sword through her back and out the other side, leading on to Neo vs Ruby since Neo still wants to avenge Torchwick.
I wonder if Neo is going to fight Ruby first, only for Ruby to tell her that she didn't kill Roman - it was a Grimm, and by extension, Cinder, who killed him. And Robyn has a truth-telling semblance that could prove it. Otherwise, I feel certain that Neo is going to take the guise of Pyrrha while fighting someone (probably JNR, again, or RWBY) to mess with their head.
Don One She’s just a fun sassy old woman that used to be a badass warrior I like her character not every character needs to be some OP villain or hero to be likable
Good point. We saw in volume 4 that Salem has had agents searching Beacon since its fall looking for the relic vault, but hasn't found it yet. And Ozpin also said in volume 5 that he'd gone to greater lengths hiding that relic than he had any of the others.
@@Wolfeson28 I honestly can't imagine anything else she would use it for. Either that or maybe where the Summer Maiden is, if she doesn't already know but who knows.
My take on Salem knowing about the power of the Relics: We know because of episode 2 that Ironwood already knows about being able to ask the Lamp questions. And the Lamp isn't even the Relic James was assigned to guard as Headmaster. James also said that "Oz told us that too", meaning the other Headmasters were told as well. Thus, it stands to reason that Lionheart knew what each Relic could do, meaning Salem now knows as well. As Cinder said, Lionheart told them a lot of stuff over the years he worked for them. And Oz knew Lionheart longer than Ironwood. If he told Ironwood what more than one Relic could do, maybe he told Leo too.
I swear if they kill off Team FNKI as just part of Salem's entrance to Atlas... With the whale, perhaps this is just fanfiction fun brainstorm, but the insides of that BEAST would give Penny a perfect space to experiment and let loose with her new-found powers. Chances are it wouldn't kill it but she would get herself out and damage it quite a bit.
A fuckton people dying by Atlas crashing into Mantle, that's what i expect. Maybe Ironwood regaining his senses and sacricicing himself to kill the whale.
7:00 There were some hints to it in Vol. 1, that, because grimm dissipate so quickly, they've never been able to study grimm anatomy. I think it was in Oobleck's notes. Possible lore bomb?? :0
Predictions for Volume 8: 1.) Ironwood confronts Qrow & Robin and either tries to get them to join his side or to reveal where the others are so he can take back the Winter Maiden Powers 2.) Ironwood reveals to Qrow early on that he (presumably) killed Oscar, which sets him off even further due to the fact he is still grieving over Clover. 3.) Whenever Qrow and Robin meet up with team RWBY & JNR, he reveals Oscar to be dead (but he ain't), which will have a negative on Ren given his current state and the fact he most likely takes responsibility for Oscar running off in the first place (since he was the one who lashed out at him) 4.) Maria will live, but Pietro will sacrifice himself through some means 5.) Qrow will fight Ironwood (and possibly Winter) 6.) Salem will take the relic from Cider, but not welcome her back as she will immediately tell that Cider accomplished nothing on her own (Neo got the relic, Cider failed to get the Maiden powers, completely ignored the fact they could have retrieved Ozpin, and fled from Ruby) 7.) Winter will question her purpose as she was planed to be the Winter Maiden 8.) Oscar will further develop his magic abilities and possibly semblance 9.) Season will end with setup for Shade Academy and return of SSSN and COFV Less likely predictions: 10.) Oscar teams up with Whitley to find his way back to the others 11.) RWBY and JNRO retrieve the Lamp and the Spear 12.) Oscar says f*ck it and gives himself the power to turn into a bird 13.) It is revealed that the Schnee family is decedent from the First Winter Maiden (ie. Ozma and Salem's daughter) 14.) IDK man, I just had this idea of Ruby stoning the goddamn whale and Oscar doing a magic Kamehameha to obliterate it 15.) Oscar confronts Salem 16.) Maria confronts Salem (because I really want to see that go down)
Considering Ozma and Salem's daughter died when she was still a child, I really, really, REALLY doubt number 13.^^' Now, them being descended from the First Winter Maiden, that is to say the one from the Fairytale, IE the first one Ozpin/The Old Wizard granted the powers to, That I can believe.
@@Neo-op3iz Based on past interactions, Salem is very skilled at reading people. She's pretty good at telling when someone is lying or trying to hide something or just BS-ing her. On top of that, she knows Cider's nature and mannerisms; she knows she'd throw someone under the bridge to get in her good graces. There is also Neo, a very expressive character; even without knowing her, all it would take is a side glance or a cocked eyebrow for Salem to know what's up. Besides, if Cider takes Neo with her to meet Salem, she's probably going to wonder why this random ice cream is here if Cinder really got the relic on her own. In conclusion, Salem ain't a fool, and Cider ain't slick.
I got two thoughts: 1) while we got some hints earlier, I think sometime V8 we'll get a full on flashback, if not campfire tale on Nora's backstory. 2) it's possible Salem would try asking Jinn what the hell the Relics are and why their so important to Oz, I have some high doubts she even knows right now. In fact, it's possible she is still on plan "replace the gods" and figures gathering the Relics would make her more powerful in that respect.
Ruby killed Roman in her eyes Ruby is a ''monster''and she has a vendetta against the ''heros'' because Roman was her everything and she will never forgive her
What I want to see in Volume 8 is based on a dream I once had, but tweaked at bit. It starts off with the battle of Atlas, Qrow and Robyn manage to break free. Watts manages to escape leaving Jaqcue to perish. Salem gets the relic, and Ironwood dies. Weiss manages to save Whitley. However Oscar gets captured by Salem, for she needs Ozpin to do something for her. Ruby tries to stop Salem's whale, but her sliver eye powers start to falter, and she fails. Both Team RWBY, Penny and Team JNR watch helplessly as Atlas finally falls. The teams find a place to hideout, both scarred by The Fall of Atlas, and trying to formulate a plan to save Oscar. Ruby however is taking it very hard, she feels that she wasn't strong enough to save both Atlas and Beacon. Then Ruby is kidnapped by thugs, prompting Team PWBY (I know that sounds horrible) and JNR to split up to save their comrades. Oscar wakes up on either an airship or Salem's whale, and discovers that they are not heading for her citadel but the ruins of Beacon Academy. Meanwhile Ruby is taken to a Gang' hide out, The Gangster force Ruby to be their assassin. There we slowly see Ruby forceble go rogue, turning into an unstoppable killing machine, assassinating anyone on the Gangsters' hit list (No more happy cutesy Ruby guys). All the while Team PWBY fruitlessly searches for her. Meanwhile Team JNR, finally reach Vale, there they run into Glynda, who is still kinda strict with them, and possible Cardin, who's still a bully. The five explain what has happened, we get some character moments with Glynda seeing how much the Fall of Beacon has affected her, we can possible have Jaune becoming more aggressive towards Cardin for his B.S. and saying something about Pyrrha. Hopefully we get a little insight on why Ren was acting weird in Vol.7. Team JNR, formulate a plan to sneak into Beacon, but Glynda warns them that it's heavily guarded by Grimm. Team JNR find a way to sneak into Beacon, while they are sneaking around, they feel nostalgic and sad revisiting the familiar rooms and hallways. They find their way into the catacombs, where they find Salem and Oscar, It's revealed that Salem wants Ozpin to reveal where The Artifact of Choice. Ozpin reluctantly reveals where the relic is, As Salem reaches for it Team JNR come in to stop everything. What follows is this action packed chase scene through the school (Perhaps a slight throwback to the food fight from Vol 2). They manage to escape Beacon via Manta, Ozpin is understandable upset that they let Salem get another relic, Jaune retorts by saying his/Oscar's life was more important. Soon a flock of Nevermores fly in, and a Star Wars styled dogfight breaks out, luckily The manta escapes. The Manta flies back to where Team PWBY is at. Meanwhile, Ruby finally retaliates against her captors, and escapes. She manages to make it far enough away from civilization (either at a dock or forest). Ruby begins to question if being a huntress was the best career move for her and if being one was a mistake after all. Suddenly a fireball blows up something next to Ruby, she turns around, and out of the shadows comes Cinder Fall. Ruby stares hatefully at her, while Cinder gives the time to belittle 'Little Red'. Enraged Ruby charges at Cinder, and the two have their one on one fight. However the battle takes a darker yet more interesting turn, Cinder manages to snap Crescent Rose in half. Ruby continues to fight with the severed blade of Crescent Rose, but Cinder knocks it out of her hands, and nearly cuts off Ruby's own hand (Nearly slicing off her palm). Cinder then gloats that if Ruby was in Cinder's shoes, she would be like her. To which Ruby yelled "I'll never be like you!". Cinder then questioned Ruby about her mother, Ruby speculates that Cinder or someone in Salem's group killed her. But Cinder corrects her by saying that either she was her mother all along or that Summer Rose originally worked for Salem or something else along those lines. Whatever she said manages to break Ruby emotionally. Before Cinder can make the final blow, Ruby's friends arrive just in time to pull her out of there. Even though Ruby survived the battle, the damage was already done. Afterwards, The battle weary and emotionally broken Ruby wakes up in a hospital bed in Shade Academy. Meanwhile The rest of her friends are in a war room, discussing that now Salem has three Relics, and the fact she is going to be coming for The Relic of Destruction next. The teams try to formulate a plan of defense, then Team CFVY , Sun, and Neptune come and ask if they can be of assistance. After the credits, Ruby finds herself in a autumn forest, there she see's Pyrrha (and/or Summer). She wakes up back in her hospital bed, realizing that it was just a dream, however when she falls back to sleep, an all to familiar orange leaf flies outside her window. What do you think?
Apparently the events of volume 8 will take place over 2 days. All chapters will amount to 2 days o-o And there are goingto be quite a bit of chapters, more than volume 7
Right! Right! that would have made a very very interesting story. But if it wouldn't then that would lead to the team to go under cover from Salem's forces and also the Atlas Military. Then showing the aftermath could build the tension to the end battle but if they already showed the aftermath in volume 8 then what's left to show in Volume 9?
Well we haven’t exactly seen a lot of vaccuo or have the slightest idea what the relic of choice is yet, so I feel like those two things on its own are enough for 2-3 volumes
THANK YOU for being one of the few people to mention the dogfish from the Pinocchio novel--it was literally driving me nuts because everyone always thinks its a whale because of the Disney adaptation >.>
Personally I feel like she could still die but they could still put her story later on without her having to be in the next volumes you know so to me she doesn’t have to be alive for her past to be in the next volumes the team could find were Cindy used to live or something that was important to her once and it could show a flashback maybe
Maybe team RWBY, JNR, Oscar, or Penny kill her, then later Salem reveals she was an important positive character in one of their pasts or a poor innocent girl she corrupted as to mess with their emotions
maybe it was from the stress of creating this one really really big grimm, which might be the whale monster or some other horrible thing we'll see in the last season's epic finale
As grimm get older and stronger their physiology evolves. Im assuming it's similar with salem and she gained those veins as her control over dark magic increased
Perhaps they were caused by Summer Rose, since we know they've fought and the only real worry that Salem has is people with silver eyes. Since being basically the Queen grimm, I think the only thing that can actually harm Salem is the power of the silver eyes. Remember Jin saying to Ozpin that he can't defeat Salem; she meant him specifically, not that Salem can't be defeated at all! ;)
@@kyrantaylor4663 His question does have at least two flaws. One, he asked "How do *I* defeat Salem", rather than "How can Salem be defeated/dealt with", "How can Salem's curse be broken", or maybe even "How do I complete the gods' task", and two, Jinn can't predict the future, meaning it's possible a future life of Ozma may be able to defeat her.
I always figured the veins came as she gave into her Grimm side, as they only started after Ozma tried leave due to her insane plans. Alternatively she could be wearing make-up to appear more "threatening". Unlikely but a kinda humorous idea.
I think Salem's overall goal is to do three things: Acquire all the Relics, Acquire the Maiden's Powers, and Defeat the Gods. It's been stated that with the relics, the Gods can be re-summoned to Remnant to "pass final judgement" on the world (i.e. "If humanity has not learned to stand united, it will be destroyed"). Salem hates the fact the Gods "cursed" her with immortal life, and refused to reunite her with Ozma. Thus, she wants the Gods to return. There in lies the 2nd thing, acquiring the Maiden's power. Using Cinder to gather all the Maidens power will allow her to eventually use it -- either through manipulating Cinder, or killing her to take the power herself -- so that she can enhance her own power to battle the Gods. Salem wants to defeat them, and either take their power to remake Remnant in her "own image", or simply defeat them out of petty revenge for their actions against her. In the next volume, we should see her getting closer to that goal: either by acquiring the Staff and Lamp, or getting at least one of them, before she turns to either Vacuo for the sword, or the Crown still hidden in Vale.
I think it's possible for Salem to know things about the Relics that Ozpin doesn't. They've been fighting for a long time, much longer then the Relic vaults have been around and I cannot believe that Ozpin has always had all four Relics, there must have been moments when Salem has had them in her possession (not all of them at once mind you) and discovered her own secrets about them that Ozpin doesn't know, So I think we should expect a surprise action from Salem when a Relic comes into her hands.
Unlikely. Considering the trend that Relics are hidden at the academies due to the number of huntsmen and huntresses there (Minstrel/Haven has knowledge relic, Atlas has creation relic, and Vale/Beacon has another relic (forgotten which won't but it's either destruction or choice), the trend is likely to continue) It's likely to be in Vacuo/Shade academy.
Do you remember when Ruby asked Ozpin about Beacon's relic? He said that he made finding the relic a bit more challenging. And apparently Salem doesn't have it her possession yet. That's what I meant.
2 theories I have for Volume 8: 1. The teams help Penny to the vault so she can open it for Oscar/Ospin. They then use the relic to complete the tower to restore communication. 2. Ruby uses the relic of knowledge to learn about everything, that happen to her mom. Maybe even important information, with the right question.
One of the big things I really hope we see in volume 8 is JNR becoming truly relevant again, because they've been somewhat shunted into the background in the last two volumes. I kind of saw this problem coming as early as the end of volume 5, when the main characters all reunited. The issue is that there's simply an overabundance of main characters all in one place again, and so not all of them have been able to get decent screen/story time. Team JNR sat out almost half of volume 6, and really got pushed into secondary roles with the plethora of new/returning characters in volume 7. Heck, Jaune was barely even a main cast member this season, and the only reason Ren and Nora got more screentime was their relationship and Ren's growing general agitation (two things which need to be addressed in volume 8 anyway). I really liked both volumes 6 and 7 overall, but I feel like the writers need to find some way to give JNR some task or or story arc that lets them do something other than just be backup for RWBY.
Theory or Prediction: Salem arrives at Atlas and gives Ironwood and the whole kingdom an ultimatum, give her Ruby Rose and Penny Polendina, or Atlas will be shown no mercy. This forces our heroes to leave to Vacuo. They arrive and reunite with Team SSSN along with CFVY. They inform the Headmaster about Salem conquering Atlas and the loss of the Relic of Knowledge. Meanwhile in Atlas, Watts is freed by Salem and reunites with Tyrian. Ironwood orders his forces to hunt down our heroes, tracking them in Vacuo. Qrow and Robyn prove their innocence by using Robyn’s glorified lie detector. Qrow acts to be in Ironwood’s side but kills him, avenging Clover. Oscar is helped by team FNKI. They try to find shelter and are helped by The Happy Huntresses. in Vacuo, Ironwood’s forces arrive but are apprehended by the headmaster’s forces. Mercury, Hazel, and Emerald are revealed to be there this whole time but are disguised. Emerald blows their cover when she meets Penny again. She is baffled by this. Yang faces Mercury (again) but this time with Blake. Ruby and Weiss along with JNPR try to fight and talk to Hazel. While injecting aura into his body, Weiss uses her time dilation glyphs and breaks his aura and the dust injected inside of him intoxicates his body and this leads to his death. Blake and Yang breaks Mercury’s metal legs, Emerald makes an illusion and runs away with Mercury. With Shade saved, and the relic secured along with the maiden, Vacuo’s forces aid in taking back Atlas. They use the ships that Ironwood’s forces used to travel to Atlas. While the others travel to Vale to try to get reinforcements. Port, Oobleck, Glynda, Tai, and Raven may join the fight.
"If Neo dies; we riot!" Phoenix 2020. I love Neo as much as the next guy but I wouldn't riot over her. I'm totally not hiding any riot gear that I would use if Neo died next volume.
I haven't finished your video, but i am posting my thoughts right now anyways before I lose my thoughts again. I also believe a lot of specific things will happen in vol8. 1. Raven, Winter and Ironwood will die. Raven is a target by default as she is a maiden. Combine that with a possible character redemption arc and her death flag is raised high. Winter will likely die in a heroic self sacrifice moment to save Wiess. And need I really explain why I think Ironwood will die? 2. I agree with you that Roman will return. I hope so because for one, he was a great villain to be honest, but more importantly, if Neo sees that he's actually alive still, she will likely feel no further need to be allied with Cinder. Combine that with how unappreciative Cinder has been of her, and Neo might even join the good guys- even if only for a little while. 3. I feel like Cinder is smart enough to realize that she can never truly earn the good graces of Salem. I feel like she will decide to use the final question of the lamp her own benefit. I could also see an anime cliche moment where Cinder turns on Salem completely. Probably towards the end when she realizes that Salem was just using her and nothing more. 4. Given how mentally snapped Ironwood is now, I REALLY hope that the Ace Ops are faced with a situation that makes them question- or completely shatters their faith in Ironwood. 5. I heard there was/is another RWBY book that either just came out, or will soon come out following Coco and her team. This is nice because they were built up as somewhat relevant characters in the first 3 volumes. Would be really cool to see them show up in the middle of a grand fight or something and help out. A new Velvet scene would be dope. 6. I want to see Willow Schnee come out of her slump and do something epic. I also actually want to see Witley have a major character growth moment. Maybe something like Wiess getting hurt trying to protect him, and in that shock, he awakens his aura and semblance. I think the biggest question is two fold though; Will vol8 start up right where it left off, or will it start with the aftermath of Salem's arrival?
@@nikitajoshi3677 No, what I mean is; A maiden is probably the only "threat" to Salem, so it would seem logical that all maidens get killed in the end. That is what she will aim for maybe.
@@Alice_Haukea I don't think the maidens are threat to salem at all, OZ has sent guardians in the past to take out Salem with no success. The maidens are a fraction of Salem magic, even the 4 maidens together can't defeat salem
I think Emerald and Mercury (maybe escorted by Hazel) are in Vacuo, casing Shade Academy and the Summer Maiden. Of course, I'm only basing this on how Vacuo is mostly deserts and Emerald is based on Aladdin, and possibly (I've only heard theories of this) the Cleopatra to Mercury's Mark Antony. 1001 Nights + Ancient Egypt = Obligatory desert.
One of the things I want to see is jaune have an actual effect on the series plot. For me they need to have team juniper be the defenders of mantle with jaune coming up with the tactics that effectively push back Salem’s forces while also showing how far jaune has come with his combat skills. In a final battle jaune can fight against cinder but is badly been injured by her but wins. However before he can heal himself he sees more grim forces coming towards them. Jaune chooses to have his team mates escape with the others while he stays behind and possibly use his semblance to wipe out the rest of the grim. But in doing so his aura runs out and is unable to heal his wound and dies from the wound but has willingly given his life.
One thing I really hope gets elaborated on is the theme of fear. It should be understood that fear is a natural response to a situation. That is not what RWBY is trying to convey to people. Paranoia doesn't quite capture it either because we associate it with insanity, which nessessarily dissociates it with our common sense; the area of our minds that really needs to be examined for it's implicit fears the most. The fear RWBY points to is not simply being afraid or even being at all insecure, but of being afraid and trying to get out of being afraid by concocting absurd egomanical plots to rid the world of whatever happens to be an object of your fear; of being afraid of being afraid. Of fear, I.E you when you're afraid, trying to get out of fear: a self contradiction of the same nature as a pig trying to be a bird by jumping off of high ledges. And a common way this manifests is in the suppression of one's humanity: to become like an unshaped mound of clay again so that one does not have to feel at all. This of course nessessarily deepens the problem by avoiding it entirely People are at their most sane when they feel whatever they happen to feel in the moment to the full and allow it to run it's full course.
Phoenix/night Another nice video, i would like to know your opinions on the other volumes like reviews. Also: do you think a series about team STRK sounds good?
That's a good idea! I should do reviews of each volume at some point, if I can find the time 😅 A team STRQ side story is probably the spinoff I am hoping for the most. I would absolutely love it, even if it was as a book but hopefully a show. Maybe after RWBY finally concludes it's story, Rooster Teeth will expand the world by creating spinoffs like that. I hope it keeps going
Devin Tucker she doesn’t have Jaune: the banana head Pokémon, or ruby:the rose petal Pokémon,and Blake: the cat Pokémon, and yang: the fiery anger cow girl Pokémon, or Oscar: the small feisty Pokémon.
Marrow Amin She don’t need them! It’s FUCKING WAILORD and now I can’t unsee Yang as a cowgirl acting like Tom to impress Blake complete with the cigarette and everything XD
Haven't watched the full video, just the first 10 seconds, but my mind already went to what the last two Resident Evil movies did...last one ended with what seemed like a massive battle around the white house...next one starts months after battle ENDED!
I hope to see more of team FNKI, a notable absence in your video - we only saw them for a short time in Volume 7 but they are certainly going to be around Atlas as the attack happens
Y’all remember the volume two intro. At the end where is a really quick fight scenes. Like Yang vs Mercury, Ruby Vs Cinder, Weiss vs Emerald and Blake Vs Torchwick. I went to see Weiss Vs Emerald in Volume 8. B/c I don’t think that’s happened yet.
My Theory on v8 1: Torchwick return 2:Penny Vs Cinder 3:Neo's Voice in case v8 is her final volume 4: Bumblebee kiss 5: whiterose kiss 6: Mercury and emerald are gonna be active 7: The summer maiden
_When you mentioned the whale attacking Atlas it suddenly made me think of the grimm just straight up chomping the whole vault and then endlessly floating up into the atmosphere like a balloon. Lol. xD_ As for Roman, I'm kind of skeptical of him returning as anything other than a flashback or a mention if only because of how big the cast is right now in the volume, especially with them having to juggle the screen time. But we'll see. Schnee development is welcomed of course, given that Atlas is their turf. I feel like Winter will eventually overthrow or at the very least take over the general's post once Ironwood either dies a martyr or gets defeated. My guess for potential characters not making it is about the same as yours though: Pietro, Maria, Willow, Ironwood... _maybe_ Neo (although I don't want to) or maybe some of the Happy Huntresses. Watts is also someone that may or may not live in the aftermath of the arc.
low-key kind of hope that we get to see the battle in flashbacks and see the carnage afterwards. Bonus points if the group ends up separated again because tbh that's when we get the best character development. Specifically I want JNR separated especially with Ren's anxiety getting the better of him in the finale. Nora, Pietro, Maria and Yang Blake, Ruby, and Ren Penny, Jaune, and Weiss Pairings we don't see too often but would compliment each other enough to get some character development on all sides. And if it's because of Salem's attack that they all become separated all the better. Cinder is somewhat back in Salem's good graces and now focuses on killing Ruby. Robyn and Qrow break out of Ironwood's prison. Emerald reuniting with Cinder only to be ignored. Oscar using his farm boy charm to go into hiding in plain sight. Tyrian causing havoc A serious near death experience maybe even a faked death by one of the main characters.
I feel like an appropriate ending for the atlas arc and one I'd love to see, is Atlas falling back down to earth and being forced rejoin Mantle, thus truly leading to a new golden age for both cities. Other than that, I feel like we should get a scene where, to truly wrap up her "puppet of a toxic family" story, Weiss and her family are able to reconcile; Weiss, as a means of reconciling with Whitley, gives him her OFFICIAL blessings as the next heir (as she has found her own path and no longer needs the SDC), maybe she can finally reconnect with her mother in a meaningful way and Jacques, though I don't want him redeemed AT ALL, maybe can have a scene in prison where can realize that Weiss, despite what he believed, really has been upholding the Schnee honor this whole time while the only things he contributed to it either bogged it down or tarnished the name beyond repair.
As well, I feel like Jaune fighintg Cinder (and maybe defeating her) is more predestined than Jaune vs Tyrian, because both are kind of polar opposites. Both started off weak (if you go by the official guide book), but where as Jaune worked his rump off to become as fierce as he is now Cinder just steals that strength from others.
I wonder if we’ll see Klein the Butler make a return in volume 8... it was mentioned that he was “let go” but he should still be in the city, and from his helping Weiss in Volume 4 it’s evident that he cares for (certain members of) the Schnee family. So maybe he could show up to help Whitley and Willow somehow?
They're definitely doing things a little differently this time with dividing the arc into two seasons, but I'd much rather two seasons than them rush it again and us end up with something that feels like they crammed too much into a small season or cut bits out to fit it.
1.Elemental Pernny-hameha's instead of just green/laser. 2.Meeting some non-jerky relatives of Jacques, running the Gele family business maybe. 3.Neo and Cinder near-simultaneously backstabbing each other.
Don One better to die a well written character than to live as a poorly written mess And the way a character dies shouldn’t change how we view their character. And his death has an ironic bite to it because he died right when he said he was gonna survive.
I really want to see Neo we just become a new good guy and just totally backstab and kill Cinder. Moreso I just want Cinder to die, she has had more than enough chances and has taken zero initiative to do things herself besides hunting down more power. I just want Neo to discover the real truth behind Torchwick's death. Maybe that's how the last wish gets used.
I also think we might get something along the lines of Team RWBY & JPNR getting a SOS out to Shade or some other people. This has been teased a bit before but not used. Im not sure if its too late at this point but itd be beautiful to see Atlas hold out till reinforcements came. I think this was the point of Watts and Tyrian even coming to mess with Ironwood.
Man, I hope I'm wrong. I HOPE I'M WRONG. But I think Ren is gonna die. So many death flags for him this volume and it's not uncommon for half of a ship to be killed off just after becoming canon. We've seen this troupe being played out before: (Arkos).
I just wanna say i absolutely LOVE the way you edit your videos (assuming you're the one who edits them of course) putting the pictures on the screen to illustrate your setences really helps us follow your train of thoughts,, i dont know, its something simple but it makes me happy for some reason ahaha I also really like the way you talk and your opinions and stuff, so keep it up!! and thank you for putting out rwby content so frequently for us, it's so nice to watch these videos in the middle of an hiatus
I still stand by my theory that Salem will force Atlas and Mantle into submission and making herself queen and use Atlas and her grimm to conquer the rest of renmant like she first wanted to do when she was with Ozma 2.0. Maybe even Ironwood will join team Salami since he is broke and all.
It would be kind of interesting if Torchwick could really come back to life. I mean if I remember correctly in Vol 3 when Qrow first showed up and he gave his report to Ozpin he said something about "seeing people coming back from the dead". I don't think he was talking about either Salem or Ozpin since he only learned about Salems immortality in Vol 7 and Ozpin being the one he his talking to. So maybe Torchwick will come back as some kind of half Grimm or maybe he was able to fight his way back out. Would personally really like to see him back, not because I like him but Neo needs him ^^
My headcanons I want for volume 8: Theory 1: Salem and Summer team up with their clan of warriors and goes on a quest for the staff, Summer meets Ruby for the first time but she fights everyone including Penny while the clan moves elsewhere Theory 2: Marrow defects from the aces and they learn about Clover’s death which causes them to reflect on how they viewed one another to me this’ll cause Marrow to join the Huntresses Theory 3: We learn a bit more on Cinder’s backstory and meet her parents and brothers in a flashback and Neo putting Cinder in her place Theory 4: Rarepair Willow and Watts meet after years apart as he gets broken out due to some interference from the Happy Huntresses getting Robyn and Qrow Theory 5: Ironwood and Oz throw hands after learning that he shot Oscar as well Robyn and Qrow vs Tyrian rematch
Sunni Corran Me and some friends were on discord talking about our fav ships and the topic of Summer not only being alive but falling in love with Salem over the years came up along with them having a clan full of corrupted and genuine silver eyed warriors
Sunni Corran I know! Plus speaking of Salem and Summer I bet Summer would be down to take down Atlas and Ironwood but she won’t have grudge against anyone else in my eyes
I love how you said that if Neo ends up dying, everyone is going to riot. True. So very, very, true. I want to know more of why Ruby's eyes faltered when Salem mentioned Summer Rose. I know that positive memories is what makes it work, and knowing that her mother was possibly killed by Salem now would make them glitch out, but the eyes reacted in a way we haven't seen at all yet. If Salem could infect Ruby with more negative memories, can she get the silver eyes to corrupt? I'm hoping that this could be explained in the whole "silver eyes" lore. I mean why else would Salem want Ruby alive, rather then dead?
See I really hope and feel that Winter will go through some character arc in Volume 8 that deals with her finding a good balance of her personal thoughts and emotions as well as her duties as a soldier.
I think I’ve cracked who Oscar’s fairy tale inspiration is. I believe he is Tip from The Marvelous Land of Oz. Tip was unknowingly the rightful heir to the throne of Oz, and was actually Princess Ozma. I can’t explain everything here, so I recommend a quick Wikipedia search of the character, but I do feel confident in this.
Red boots!!!!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. I think that Oscar is inspired by both of them, but mainly Tip, as the fourth headmaster is theorized to be Dorothy (his name is Theodore and it would follow the Wizard of Oz trend).
I won’t lie I want to see Penny die. Two reasons. 1. I’m curious what Cinder will experience carrying more than one maiden’s powers. We saw in volume 4 what a single maiden did to Cinder, so what happens when she gets two? I’m curious and hope it happens. 2. This is my main one. Penny should have never been brought back. I get it was cool and all to see her back, but it takes away all significance her death had. Think about what it would be like if Pyrrha came back. That’s what I feel Penny coming back did. Her death lost all value because of volume 7 and I want her death to have value again.
My guesses for volume 8 -team rwby and the rest meet up with Oscar/Ozpin and forgive Ozpin about keeping secrets seeing how team rwby ended up doing the same thing -the crew meet up with the happy huntresses and discuss how to get to Atlis and get rid of the grimm -Cinder and Neo meet up with Salem and Salem thanks Neo for getting her the relic, and as thanks for it she allows Neo to go look for Ruby without any worry of grimm interrupting her -Cinder gets pissed for not getting any thanks and Salem tells her that if she wants praise than go find the winter maiden and take her powers -Qrow and Robyn get taken to Ironwood and he demands answers for Tyran and Clover and the two of them tell Ironwood that he only has himself to blame for both of them -Ironwood attempts to kill Qrow but is saved by Tia from a Raven portal followed by Glinda and Zwei -big fight breaks out between them and it is revealed the Zwei has a semblance that turns him into a werewolf like creature -team rwby and Penny go to Atlis to get the relic while the others fend off the grimm and try to get the lamp back -Ruby and Weiss use the relic of creation together to create an anti-grimm army using Ruby’s sliver eyed powers and Weiss’s summoning glyph as a sort of base for the armies creation and the relic as a power source -Salem starts loosing troops and decides for a tactical retreat with the lamp, Watts, and Tyran in hand while leaving the whale and other grimm to stay behind and destroy the kingdom -Atlis falls
If the whole death thing does happen at the beginning of the volume like you think, aside from Pennys father (idk how to spell his name) and Maria maybe Tyrian dies cause Qrow said he would kill him and Robin help Qrow find him and she like go on get your revenge and Qrow is like yes and no, like he wants to but doesn’t because he’s like then ill be just like you or worst and thinks of ruby and the others or something else happens like Salem isnt happy with Watts and Tyrian and she makes them feel safe but them offs them or something. So many crazy possibilities
I hope the finaly give Emrald and mercury new close, more character development with whitly wiess and winter about their family, ruby acting more like leader and mature more, yang meets mercury again and fight whike also to try to talk thing out and tries talking to him why he joins salem and why he became evil and tries to convince him to join their side and sympathy with him, Blake tries proving to the people of atlus and mantle that founus are good people while fighting salem forsives and runs into Emrald and fights and also tries to talk her out of joining salembecause we see Emrald doesnt like working with her, Oscar get good character development with Ozpim and leans how to usr magic, John gets some more screen time and see how he fights, Nora needs to get a back story and more screen time and see her fight more, Ren need more screen time and explain whats wrong with him and what side who he chooses. What really need to change: Blake and Yange have to stop pairing up all the time to gather and work with other people like wiess and ruby or team JNR or work by themselves, Ruby and Yange need to have more interactions with each other because we haven't seen any sister moments with them or fighting with each other, Wiess and Blake need to interact more because they can ackley help stop founus discrimination by working to gather, Ruby and oscar need more interact more and work with each other with problems and fighting and mabey start having a romantic relationship between them, Team JRN need more fighting screen time, more information about summer rose, Cinder need a back story on why she is doing this, Noe also need a back story and how she met Roman.
"If Neo dies we riot."
That is an accurate statement.

Yes

Amen to that
If Neo dies Monty will come back as a fucking zombie and lead the riot.
If Raven turns up for Qrow, I hope she brings Ty with her and although he is treated as a joke dad, he turns out to be super bad ass ( like Ichigo's dad in Bleach).

If Watts is broken out I think Whitley will be the one to take him down or atleast assist in the matter... just hear me out Whitley's character inspiration is the character Artemis Fowl a young super genius who runs his fathers company in the books, so right now Jacques is probably in prison and this is an opportunity for Whitley to take over the schnee dust company to finally have relevance in the story. Also another big thing in the Artemis Fowl books is Artemis himself going up against people who are super smart and who else is a super smart genius? Watts!

"Roman is coming back "
Don't do that. Don't give me hope.
Surprise plot twist, Salem can revive the dead as Grimm shadows of their former selves as long as she quickly recovers the body. Can you imagine?
I don't think she can, this is a joke.
@@bluej4life183 plus I think the Griffin's digested him unless it shit him out.
Na mate he's so dead.
If Roman has the chance to come back then my heart will light up with the hope of Pyrrha too. I'd love @Phoenix/Night's opinion on Pyrrha's possible return: the subtle clues from Ruby's dream in the forest in volume 4 to the red-haired woman in volume 6.
Ash-n-Joker I’ve been hoping Salem notices Pyrrha was a strong huntress so maybe she turns her to Grimm and or one of her helpers like Tyrian. It would give Jaune a serious mental breakdown and I just think Ruby never reacted that largely to Penny coming back. So maybe Jaune, Ruby and probably Nora would react to her being evil now and it would give an added stressful atmosphere to all the chaos
(Hope this made sense)
I NEED Raven to return especially being it Yang still hasn’t told a single soul her mother is the Spring Maiden.
Isn't that dangerous, though? Having two maidens in such close proximity the Salem sounds like a bad idea.
@@omegaheartless I don't necessarily think so. The maiden powers aren't really Salem's target; they're only important because they can unlock the relics. So while Penny is very definitely in Salem's sights (or will be, once someone like Cinder tells her who has the winter powers), Raven is probably off the hook since her associated relic is already unlocked.
Does Yang know tho? Like did she actually see her use the maiden powers? Cinder or Vernal could have opened the Vault Relic thingy, right?
baum .B Yeah. All Yang actually saw down there was Raven still standing, Vernal was dead, Cinder was missing and the vault door was open.
Not likely until Volume 11 at least
If Jaune dies I’m leaving the show behind, my heart can’t take it. He is pure boy.
I hope he doesn't die, however, for Joan of Arc, the legend he's based on...
Svtfoe And More if Juane dies to bum ass Cinder we riot. No exceptions.
@@mizumafusotrue I could certainly see Jaune ending up dead in Series 8 as JoA gets killed after being betrayed by her own side as the terms of brokering a peace deal between England and Frrance. I could certainly see Ironwood selling out team RWBY to Salem to get a cease fire.

I'm rewatching Volume 7 and I just noticed something...... PIETRO HAS A SMALL STATUE OF A WHALE IN HIS OFFICE IN EPISODE 1
Ohhh......no
It's just a whale, but holy crap the foreshadowing
If pietro gets eaten we riot
Doctor Kujo left it behind
Neo is absolutely going to kill Cinder sooner or later. I do think it's going to be a stab to the back, but honestly even if it isn't, Neo could beat Cinder in a fight. Neo is quite possibly the most powerful person in RWBY; she's one of if not the most skilled fighter we've seen, her semblance is very powerful and versatile, but on top of that she's actually one of the smartest people we've seen, she knows when to retreat, when to play along, and when to strike, and she studies her enemies carefully and waits for an opening. All of that makes her the single most dangerous character we've seen besides maybe Salem.
Remember, she almost beat Cinder in a 1v1 using _just_ her illusion, and only stopped because of Cinder's maiden powers, but now she's had time to study Cinder and look for an opening, so it's basically a guaranteed victory for her. Not to mention Cinder has not been immune to taking hits and getting distracted by personal grudges, since she got her arm cut off (temporarily) while she was distracted with Penny. I think it's possible that she might be distracted by Ruby only to find Neo's hidden sword through her back and out the other side, leading on to Neo vs Ruby since Neo still wants to avenge Torchwick.
I don't remember Neo losing ever.
Neo vs Raven is I fight I really hope comes up in this tournament thing Pheonix is running
Hopefully neo's combat abilities does not become affectsd by rooster teeth's poor writing consistancy.
I wonder if Neo is going to fight Ruby first, only for Ruby to tell her that she didn't kill Roman - it was a Grimm, and by extension, Cinder, who killed him. And Robyn has a truth-telling semblance that could prove it.
Otherwise, I feel certain that Neo is going to take the guise of Pyrrha while fighting someone (probably JNR, again, or RWBY) to mess with their head.
Andrew Sung At least they know how to structure sentences correctly.

@@Salemwaaa *Pietro speed builds mechsuit for her*
Don One She’s just a fun sassy old woman that used to be a badass warrior I like her character not every character needs to be some OP villain or hero to be likable
My guess is Salem will ask:
"What has Ozpin done with the *Beacon* relic?"
Good point. We saw in volume 4 that Salem has had agents searching Beacon since its fall looking for the relic vault, but hasn't found it yet. And Ozpin also said in volume 5 that he'd gone to greater lengths hiding that relic than he had any of the others.
@@Wolfeson28 I honestly can't imagine anything else she would use it for. Either that or maybe where the Summer Maiden is, if she doesn't already know but who knows.
OOOOO
@@Wolfeson28 he probably just buried it somewhere, like in the Justice League movie
I bet it is his staff even though he told ruby it wasn’t a relic I believe it is
My take on Salem knowing about the power of the Relics:
We know because of episode 2 that Ironwood already knows about being able to ask the Lamp questions. And the Lamp isn't even the Relic James was assigned to guard as Headmaster. James also said that "Oz told us that too", meaning the other Headmasters were told as well. Thus, it stands to reason that Lionheart knew what each Relic could do, meaning Salem now knows as well. As Cinder said, Lionheart told them a lot of stuff over the years he worked for them. And Oz knew Lionheart longer than Ironwood. If he told Ironwood what more than one Relic could do, maybe he told Leo too.
I swear if they kill off Team FNKI as just part of Salem's entrance to Atlas...
With the whale, perhaps this is just fanfiction fun brainstorm, but the insides of that BEAST would give Penny a perfect space to experiment and let loose with her new-found powers. Chances are it wouldn't kill it but she would get herself out and damage it quite a bit.
Can’t wait for it. Vol. 8 baby. Salem is one of those villains who stole my heart. I can’t wait for Tyrian’s death.
Salem is such a badass, im seriously questioning switching sides, Team rwby are kind of meh these days.
I hope we get to see Ironwood and Watts's semblances before they die
A fuckton people dying by Atlas crashing into Mantle, that's what i expect. Maybe Ironwood regaining his senses and sacricicing himself to kill the whale.
7:00 There were some hints to it in Vol. 1, that, because grimm dissipate so quickly, they've never been able to study grimm anatomy. I think it was in Oobleck's notes. Possible lore bomb?? :0
Predictions for Volume 8:
1.) Ironwood confronts Qrow & Robin and either tries to get them to join his side or to reveal where the others are so he can take back the Winter Maiden Powers
2.) Ironwood reveals to Qrow early on that he (presumably) killed Oscar, which sets him off even further due to the fact he is still grieving over Clover.
3.) Whenever Qrow and Robin meet up with team RWBY & JNR, he reveals Oscar to be dead (but he ain't), which will have a negative on Ren given his current state and the fact he most likely takes responsibility for Oscar running off in the first place (since he was the one who lashed out at him)
4.) Maria will live, but Pietro will sacrifice himself through some means
5.) Qrow will fight Ironwood (and possibly Winter)
6.) Salem will take the relic from Cider, but not welcome her back as she will immediately tell that Cider accomplished nothing on her own (Neo got the relic, Cider failed to get the Maiden powers, completely ignored the fact they could have retrieved Ozpin, and fled from Ruby)
7.) Winter will question her purpose as she was planed to be the Winter Maiden
8.) Oscar will further develop his magic abilities and possibly semblance
9.) Season will end with setup for Shade Academy and return of SSSN and COFV
Less likely predictions:
10.) Oscar teams up with Whitley to find his way back to the others
11.) RWBY and JNRO retrieve the Lamp and the Spear
12.) Oscar says f*ck it and gives himself the power to turn into a bird
13.) It is revealed that the Schnee family is decedent from the First Winter Maiden (ie. Ozma and Salem's daughter)
14.) IDK man, I just had this idea of Ruby stoning the goddamn whale and Oscar doing a magic Kamehameha to obliterate it
15.) Oscar confronts Salem
16.) Maria confronts Salem (because I really want to see that go down)
I really like ideas number 12 and 14 😂
Considering Ozma and Salem's daughter died when she was still a child, I really, really, REALLY doubt number 13.^^'
Now, them being descended from the First Winter Maiden, that is to say the one from the Fairytale, IE the first one Ozpin/The Old Wizard granted the powers to, That I can believe.
How would Salem know Neo got the relic and Cinder didn’t?
@@Neo-op3iz Based on past interactions, Salem is very skilled at reading people. She's pretty good at telling when someone is lying or trying to hide something or just BS-ing her. On top of that, she knows Cider's nature and mannerisms; she knows she'd throw someone under the bridge to get in her good graces. There is also Neo, a very expressive character; even without knowing her, all it would take is a side glance or a cocked eyebrow for Salem to know what's up. Besides, if Cider takes Neo with her to meet Salem, she's probably going to wonder why this random ice cream is here if Cinder really got the relic on her own.
In conclusion, Salem ain't a fool, and Cider ain't slick.
Maybe we'll finally see Penny's semblance?
I got two thoughts:
1) while we got some hints earlier, I think sometime V8 we'll get a full on flashback, if not campfire tale on Nora's backstory.
2) it's possible Salem would try asking Jinn what the hell the Relics are and why their so important to Oz, I have some high doubts she even knows right now. In fact, it's possible she is still on plan "replace the gods" and figures gathering the Relics would make her more powerful in that respect.
Another possible Volume 8 opening could also be a flashback to one of Ozpin's previous incarnations using the staff to create Atlas.
Genius!!!!
And if Roman is still alive and he comes back, I wanna know what his unlocked semblance is now 😉
His semblance is to turn into a hat, Neo has been wearing him the whole time
@@TheLonelySkeleton Well then he can also turn into a scarf, because Neo's also wearing Roman's grey scarf as well

@@bossmode3769 Neo is a hero or villain we still love her
@@nickiplier5699 not me, if she turns into a hero I will not like her character as much.
Ruby killed Roman in her eyes Ruby is a ''monster''and she has a vendetta against the ''heros'' because Roman was her everything and she will never forgive her
Anime 4real no the Grimm did
What I want to see in Volume 8 is based on a dream I once had, but tweaked at bit.
It starts off with the battle of Atlas, Qrow and Robyn manage to break free. Watts manages to escape leaving Jaqcue to perish. Salem gets the relic, and Ironwood dies. Weiss manages to save Whitley. However Oscar gets captured by Salem, for she needs Ozpin to do something for her. Ruby tries to stop Salem's whale, but her sliver eye powers start to falter, and she fails. Both Team RWBY, Penny and Team JNR watch helplessly as Atlas finally falls.
The teams find a place to hideout, both scarred by The Fall of Atlas, and trying to formulate a plan to save Oscar. Ruby however is taking it very hard, she feels that she wasn't strong enough to save both Atlas and Beacon. Then Ruby is kidnapped by thugs, prompting Team PWBY (I know that sounds horrible) and JNR to split up to save their comrades.
Oscar wakes up on either an airship or Salem's whale, and discovers that they are not heading for her citadel but the ruins of Beacon Academy. Meanwhile Ruby is taken to a Gang' hide out, The Gangster force Ruby to be their assassin. There we slowly see Ruby forceble go rogue, turning into an unstoppable killing machine, assassinating anyone on the Gangsters' hit list (No more happy cutesy Ruby guys). All the while Team PWBY fruitlessly searches for her.
Meanwhile Team JNR, finally reach Vale, there they run into Glynda, who is still kinda strict with them, and possible Cardin, who's still a bully. The five explain what has happened, we get some character moments with Glynda seeing how much the Fall of Beacon has affected her, we can possible have Jaune becoming more aggressive towards Cardin for his B.S. and saying something about Pyrrha. Hopefully we get a little insight on why Ren was acting weird in Vol.7. Team JNR, formulate a plan to sneak into Beacon, but Glynda warns them that it's heavily guarded by Grimm.
Team JNR find a way to sneak into Beacon, while they are sneaking around, they feel nostalgic and sad revisiting the familiar rooms and hallways. They find their way into the catacombs, where they find Salem and Oscar, It's revealed that Salem wants Ozpin to reveal where The Artifact of Choice. Ozpin reluctantly reveals where the relic is, As Salem reaches for it Team JNR come in to stop everything. What follows is this action packed chase scene through the school (Perhaps a slight throwback to the food fight from Vol 2). They manage to escape Beacon via Manta, Ozpin is understandable upset that they let Salem get another relic, Jaune retorts by saying his/Oscar's life was more important. Soon a flock of Nevermores fly in, and a Star Wars styled dogfight breaks out, luckily The manta escapes. The Manta flies back to where Team PWBY is at.
Meanwhile, Ruby finally retaliates against her captors, and escapes. She manages to make it far enough away from civilization (either at a dock or forest). Ruby begins to question if being a huntress was the best career move for her and if being one was a mistake after all. Suddenly a fireball blows up something next to Ruby, she turns around, and out of the shadows comes Cinder Fall. Ruby stares hatefully at her, while Cinder gives the time to belittle 'Little Red'. Enraged Ruby charges at Cinder, and the two have their one on one fight. However the battle takes a darker yet more interesting turn, Cinder manages to snap Crescent Rose in half. Ruby continues to fight with the severed blade of Crescent Rose, but Cinder knocks it out of her hands, and nearly cuts off Ruby's own hand (Nearly slicing off her palm). Cinder then gloats that if Ruby was in Cinder's shoes, she would be like her. To which Ruby yelled "I'll never be like you!". Cinder then questioned Ruby about her mother, Ruby speculates that Cinder or someone in Salem's group killed her. But Cinder corrects her by saying that either she was her mother all along or that Summer Rose originally worked for Salem or something else along those lines. Whatever she said manages to break Ruby emotionally.
Before Cinder can make the final blow, Ruby's friends arrive just in time to pull her out of there. Even though Ruby survived the battle, the damage was already done.
Afterwards, The battle weary and emotionally broken Ruby wakes up in a hospital bed in Shade Academy. Meanwhile The rest of her friends are in a war room, discussing that now Salem has three Relics, and the fact she is going to be coming for The Relic of Destruction next. The teams try to formulate a plan of defense, then Team CFVY , Sun, and Neptune come and ask if they can be of assistance.
After the credits, Ruby finds herself in a autumn forest, there she see's Pyrrha (and/or Summer). She wakes up back in her hospital bed, realizing that it was just a dream, however when she falls back to sleep, an all to familiar orange leaf flies outside her window.
What do you think?
I'd say pretty good!!!
That's a pretty good prediction you got there :)
im screenshoting this, i might be back on this comment in fall ;)
Apparently the events of volume 8 will take place over 2 days. All chapters will amount to 2 days o-o And there are goingto be quite a bit of chapters, more than volume 7
i think rooster teeth should hire you 😌
Flash back
I'm instantly calling it
I just wanna say that I’m 99% sure that we will see the aftermath first, because it doesn’t make sense to put the final battle in the first episode.
Right! Right! that would have made a very very interesting story. But if it wouldn't then that would lead to the team to go under cover from Salem's forces and also the Atlas Military. Then showing the aftermath could build the tension to the end battle but if they already showed the aftermath in volume 8 then what's left to show in Volume 9?
Well we haven’t exactly seen a lot of vaccuo or have the slightest idea what the relic of choice is yet, so I feel like those two things on its own are enough for 2-3 volumes
THANK YOU for being one of the few people to mention the dogfish from the Pinocchio novel--it was literally driving me nuts because everyone always thinks its a whale because of the Disney adaptation >.>
The Shopkeeper will save Atlas.
Seems likely.
And Salem’s true form is Zwei all along
@@beaniewearingtrashcat8066 I won't even be mad tbh
Cinder isn’t going to die because Rooster teeth said they will touch on her backstory in possible volumes
Personally I feel like she could still die but they could still put her story later on without her having to be in the next volumes you know so to me she doesn’t have to be alive for her past to be in the next volumes the team could find were Cindy used to live or something that was important to her once and it could show a flashback maybe
Maybe team RWBY, JNR, Oscar, or Penny kill her, then later Salem reveals she was an important positive character in one of their pasts or a poor innocent girl she corrupted as to mess with their emotions
Has anyone ever talked about how salem has no red veins in the lost fable but now has them, is it maybe the creation of grimm that causes them
maybe it was from the stress of creating this one really really big grimm, which might be the whale monster or some other horrible thing we'll see in the last season's epic finale
As grimm get older and stronger their physiology evolves. Im assuming it's similar with salem and she gained those veins as her control over dark magic increased
Perhaps they were caused by Summer Rose, since we know they've fought and the only real worry that Salem has is people with silver eyes. Since being basically the Queen grimm, I think the only thing that can actually harm Salem is the power of the silver eyes. Remember Jin saying to Ozpin that he can't defeat Salem; she meant him specifically, not that Salem can't be defeated at all! ;)
@@kyrantaylor4663
His question does have at least two flaws. One, he asked "How do *I* defeat Salem", rather than "How can Salem be defeated/dealt with", "How can Salem's curse be broken", or maybe even "How do I complete the gods' task", and two, Jinn can't predict the future, meaning it's possible a future life of Ozma may be able to defeat her.
I always figured the veins came as she gave into her Grimm side, as they only started after Ozma tried leave due to her insane plans.
Alternatively she could be wearing make-up to appear more "threatening". Unlikely but a kinda humorous idea.
Qrow is still in atlas as well. Everyone but Blake has a reason to stick around.
I think Salem's overall goal is to do three things: Acquire all the Relics, Acquire the Maiden's Powers, and Defeat the Gods. It's been stated that with the relics, the Gods can be re-summoned to Remnant to "pass final judgement" on the world (i.e. "If humanity has not learned to stand united, it will be destroyed"). Salem hates the fact the Gods "cursed" her with immortal life, and refused to reunite her with Ozma. Thus, she wants the Gods to return. There in lies the 2nd thing, acquiring the Maiden's power. Using Cinder to gather all the Maidens power will allow her to eventually use it -- either through manipulating Cinder, or killing her to take the power herself -- so that she can enhance her own power to battle the Gods. Salem wants to defeat them, and either take their power to remake Remnant in her "own image", or simply defeat them out of petty revenge for their actions against her.
In the next volume, we should see her getting closer to that goal: either by acquiring the Staff and Lamp, or getting at least one of them, before she turns to either Vacuo for the sword, or the Crown still hidden in Vale.
I think it's possible for Salem to know things about the Relics that Ozpin doesn't. They've been fighting for a long time, much longer then the Relic vaults have been around and I cannot believe that Ozpin has always had all four Relics, there must have been moments when Salem has had them in her possession (not all of them at once mind you) and discovered her own secrets about them that Ozpin doesn't know, So I think we should expect a surprise action from Salem when a Relic comes into her hands.
One possible question Salem could ask is where the Relic of Choice is hidden.
Unlikely. Considering the trend that Relics are hidden at the academies due to the number of huntsmen and huntresses there (Minstrel/Haven has knowledge relic, Atlas has creation relic, and Vale/Beacon has another relic (forgotten which won't but it's either destruction or choice), the trend is likely to continue) It's likely to be in Vacuo/Shade academy.
Do you remember when Ruby asked Ozpin about Beacon's relic? He said that he made finding the relic a bit more challenging. And apparently Salem doesn't have it her possession yet. That's what I meant.
2 theories I have for Volume 8:
1. The teams help Penny to the vault so she can open it for Oscar/Ospin. They then use the relic to complete the tower to restore communication.
2. Ruby uses the relic of knowledge to learn about everything, that happen to her mom. Maybe even important information, with the right question.
I really really want to see Summer Rose's back story.
One of the big things I really hope we see in volume 8 is JNR becoming truly relevant again, because they've been somewhat shunted into the background in the last two volumes. I kind of saw this problem coming as early as the end of volume 5, when the main characters all reunited. The issue is that there's simply an overabundance of main characters all in one place again, and so not all of them have been able to get decent screen/story time. Team JNR sat out almost half of volume 6, and really got pushed into secondary roles with the plethora of new/returning characters in volume 7. Heck, Jaune was barely even a main cast member this season, and the only reason Ren and Nora got more screentime was their relationship and Ren's growing general agitation (two things which need to be addressed in volume 8 anyway). I really liked both volumes 6 and 7 overall, but I feel like the writers need to find some way to give JNR some task or or story arc that lets them do something other than just be backup for RWBY.
True, realy true.
I think we.’the gonna see a main character die. Not team RWBY but someone out of Jaune, Nora, Ren, or Qrow.
Theory or Prediction:
Salem arrives at Atlas and gives Ironwood and the whole kingdom an ultimatum, give her Ruby Rose and Penny Polendina, or Atlas will be shown no mercy. This forces our heroes to leave to Vacuo. They arrive and reunite with Team SSSN along with CFVY. They inform the Headmaster about Salem conquering Atlas and the loss of the Relic of Knowledge. Meanwhile in Atlas, Watts is freed by Salem and reunites with Tyrian. Ironwood orders his forces to hunt down our heroes, tracking them in Vacuo. Qrow and Robyn prove their innocence by using Robyn’s glorified lie detector. Qrow acts to be in Ironwood’s side but kills him, avenging Clover. Oscar is helped by team FNKI. They try to find shelter and are helped by The Happy Huntresses. in Vacuo, Ironwood’s forces arrive but are apprehended by the headmaster’s forces. Mercury, Hazel, and Emerald are revealed to be there this whole time but are disguised. Emerald blows their cover when she meets Penny again. She is baffled by this. Yang faces Mercury (again) but this time with Blake. Ruby and Weiss along with JNPR try to fight and talk to Hazel. While injecting aura into his body, Weiss uses her time dilation glyphs and breaks his aura and the dust injected inside of him intoxicates his body and this leads to his death. Blake and Yang breaks Mercury’s metal legs, Emerald makes an illusion and runs away with Mercury. With Shade saved, and the relic secured along with the maiden, Vacuo’s forces aid in taking back Atlas. They use the ships that Ironwood’s forces used to travel to Atlas. While the others travel to Vale to try to get reinforcements. Port, Oobleck, Glynda, Tai, and Raven may join the fight.
"If Neo dies; we riot!" Phoenix 2020. I love Neo as much as the next guy but I wouldn't riot over her. I'm totally not hiding any riot gear that I would use if Neo died next volume.
I haven't finished your video, but i am posting my thoughts right now anyways before I lose my thoughts again.
I also believe a lot of specific things will happen in vol8.
1. Raven, Winter and Ironwood will die. Raven is a target by default as she is a maiden. Combine that with a possible character redemption arc and her death flag is raised high. Winter will likely die in a heroic self sacrifice moment to save Wiess. And need I really explain why I think Ironwood will die?
2. I agree with you that Roman will return. I hope so because for one, he was a great villain to be honest, but more importantly, if Neo sees that he's actually alive still, she will likely feel no further need to be allied with Cinder. Combine that with how unappreciative Cinder has been of her, and Neo might even join the good guys- even if only for a little while.
3. I feel like Cinder is smart enough to realize that she can never truly earn the good graces of Salem. I feel like she will decide to use the final question of the lamp her own benefit. I could also see an anime cliche moment where Cinder turns on Salem completely. Probably towards the end when she realizes that Salem was just using her and nothing more.
4. Given how mentally snapped Ironwood is now, I REALLY hope that the Ace Ops are faced with a situation that makes them question- or completely shatters their faith in Ironwood.
5. I heard there was/is another RWBY book that either just came out, or will soon come out following Coco and her team. This is nice because they were built up as somewhat relevant characters in the first 3 volumes. Would be really cool to see them show up in the middle of a grand fight or something and help out. A new Velvet scene would be dope.
6. I want to see Willow Schnee come out of her slump and do something epic. I also actually want to see Witley have a major character growth moment. Maybe something like Wiess getting hurt trying to protect him, and in that shock, he awakens his aura and semblance.
I think the biggest question is two fold though;
Will vol8 start up right where it left off, or will it start with the aftermath of Salem's arrival?
salem doesn't want the powers, she just wants the relic, and she has it. so raven isn't much of a target as her job was done.
@@nikitajoshi3677 No, what I mean is; A maiden is probably the only "threat" to Salem, so it would seem logical that all maidens get killed in the end. That is what she will aim for maybe.
@@Alice_Haukea I don't think the maidens are threat to salem at all, OZ has sent guardians in the past to take out Salem with no success. The maidens are a fraction of Salem magic, even the 4 maidens together can't defeat salem
12:33 Team RWBY's recruitment of Neo? Oh yes please.
I think Emerald and Mercury (maybe escorted by Hazel) are in Vacuo, casing Shade Academy and the Summer Maiden.
Of course, I'm only basing this on how Vacuo is mostly deserts and Emerald is based on Aladdin, and possibly (I've only heard theories of this) the Cleopatra to Mercury's Mark Antony. 1001 Nights + Ancient Egypt = Obligatory desert.
One of the things I want to see is jaune have an actual effect on the series plot. For me they need to have team juniper be the defenders of mantle with jaune coming up with the tactics that effectively push back Salem’s forces while also showing how far jaune has come with his combat skills. In a final battle jaune can fight against cinder but is badly been injured by her but wins. However before he can heal himself he sees more grim forces coming towards them. Jaune chooses to have his team mates escape with the others while he stays behind and possibly use his semblance to wipe out the rest of the grim. But in doing so his aura runs out and is unable to heal his wound and dies from the wound but has willingly given his life.
One thing I really hope gets elaborated on is the theme of fear.
It should be understood that fear is a natural response to a situation. That is not what RWBY is trying to convey to people.
Paranoia doesn't quite capture it either because we associate it with insanity, which nessessarily dissociates it with our common sense; the area of our minds that really needs to be examined for it's implicit fears the most.
The fear RWBY points to is not simply being afraid or even being at all insecure, but of being afraid and trying to get out of being afraid by concocting absurd egomanical plots to rid the world of whatever happens to be an object of your fear; of being afraid of being afraid. Of fear, I.E you when you're afraid, trying to get out of fear: a self contradiction of the same nature as a pig trying to be a bird by jumping off of high ledges.
And a common way this manifests is in the suppression of one's humanity: to become like an unshaped mound of clay again so that one does not have to feel at all. This of course nessessarily deepens the problem by avoiding it entirely
People are at their most sane when they feel whatever they happen to feel in the moment to the full and allow it to run it's full course.
Phoenix/night Another nice video, i would like to know your opinions on the other volumes like reviews.
Also: do you think a series about team STRK sounds good?
Krow.lol
That's a good idea! I should do reviews of each volume at some point, if I can find the time 😅
A team STRQ side story is probably the spinoff I am hoping for the most. I would absolutely love it, even if it was as a book but hopefully a show. Maybe after RWBY finally concludes it's story, Rooster Teeth will expand the world by creating spinoffs like that. I hope it keeps going
Salem has walord so Salem’s gotta catch them all
Marrow Amin Salem already has gigantamax Wailord so she’s unbeatable
Devin Tucker she doesn’t have Jaune: the banana head Pokémon, or ruby:the rose petal Pokémon,and Blake: the cat Pokémon, and yang: the fiery anger cow girl Pokémon, or Oscar: the small feisty Pokémon.
Marrow Amin She don’t need them! It’s FUCKING WAILORD and now I can’t unsee Yang as a cowgirl acting like Tom to impress Blake complete with the cigarette and everything XD
If cinder leaves neo behind she might help team rwby get in atlas academy
Haven't watched the full video, just the first 10 seconds, but my mind already went to what the last two Resident Evil movies did...last one ended with what seemed like a massive battle around the white house...next one starts months after battle ENDED!
I hope that volume 8 will focus more on the villains giving us some backstory info on them.
This was uploaded 44 seconds ago
Clears throat
First (don’t hurt me)
*Hurt*
I hope to see more of team FNKI, a notable absence in your video - we only saw them for a short time in Volume 7 but they are certainly going to be around Atlas as the attack happens
It would be sad if salem asks
"is there a way for me to die"
Bro im
:'((((((
"when banded together, they do pose a significant threat..." she isn't going to show herself to anyone outside of Atlas.
Y’all remember the volume two intro. At the end where is a really quick fight scenes. Like Yang vs Mercury, Ruby Vs Cinder, Weiss vs Emerald and Blake Vs Torchwick. I went to see Weiss Vs Emerald in Volume 8. B/c I don’t think that’s happened yet.
My Theory on v8
1: Torchwick return
2:Penny Vs Cinder
3:Neo's Voice in case v8 is her final volume
4: Bumblebee kiss
5: whiterose kiss
6: Mercury and emerald are gonna be active
7: The summer maiden
_When you mentioned the whale attacking Atlas it suddenly made me think of the grimm just straight up chomping the whole vault and then endlessly floating up into the atmosphere like a balloon. Lol. xD_
As for Roman, I'm kind of skeptical of him returning as anything other than a flashback or a mention if only because of how big the cast is right now in the volume, especially with them having to juggle the screen time. But we'll see.
Schnee development is welcomed of course, given that Atlas is their turf. I feel like Winter will eventually overthrow or at the very least take over the general's post once Ironwood either dies a martyr or gets defeated.
My guess for potential characters not making it is about the same as yours though: Pietro, Maria, Willow, Ironwood... _maybe_ Neo (although I don't want to) or maybe some of the Happy Huntresses. Watts is also someone that may or may not live in the aftermath of the arc.
low-key kind of hope that we get to see the battle in flashbacks and see the carnage afterwards. Bonus points if the group ends up separated again because tbh that's when we get the best character development. Specifically I want JNR separated especially with Ren's anxiety getting the better of him in the finale.
Nora, Pietro, Maria and Yang
Blake, Ruby, and Ren
Penny, Jaune, and Weiss
Pairings we don't see too often but would compliment each other enough to get some character development on all sides. And if it's because of Salem's attack that they all become separated all the better.
Cinder is somewhat back in Salem's good graces and now focuses on killing Ruby.
Robyn and Qrow break out of Ironwood's prison.
Emerald reuniting with Cinder only to be ignored.
Oscar using his farm boy charm to go into hiding in plain sight.
Tyrian causing havoc
A serious near death experience maybe even a faked death by one of the main characters.
I hope that we have snippets of Qrow reflecting on his past in his cell before he is freed by Robyn using her semblance to prove him innocent
I feel like an appropriate ending for the atlas arc and one I'd love to see, is Atlas falling back down to earth and being forced rejoin Mantle, thus truly leading to a new golden age for both cities. Other than that, I feel like we should get a scene where, to truly wrap up her "puppet of a toxic family" story, Weiss and her family are able to reconcile; Weiss, as a means of reconciling with Whitley, gives him her OFFICIAL blessings as the next heir (as she has found her own path and no longer needs the SDC), maybe she can finally reconnect with her mother in a meaningful way and Jacques, though I don't want him redeemed AT ALL, maybe can have a scene in prison where can realize that Weiss, despite what he believed, really has been upholding the Schnee honor this whole time while the only things he contributed to it either bogged it down or tarnished the name beyond repair.
As well, I feel like Jaune fighintg Cinder (and maybe defeating her) is more predestined than Jaune vs Tyrian, because both are kind of polar opposites. Both started off weak (if you go by the official guide book), but where as Jaune worked his rump off to become as fierce as he is now Cinder just steals that strength from others.
I wonder if we’ll see Klein the Butler make a return in volume 8... it was mentioned that he was “let go” but he should still be in the city, and from his helping Weiss in Volume 4 it’s evident that he cares for (certain members of) the Schnee family. So maybe he could show up to help Whitley and Willow somehow?
They're definitely doing things a little differently this time with dividing the arc into two seasons, but I'd much rather two seasons than them rush it again and us end up with something that feels like they crammed too much into a small season or cut bits out to fit it.
If Neo dies, Rooster Teeth will be quite literally burnt to the ground.
Neo fandom = Salem's army
Lmao
1.Elemental Pernny-hameha's instead of just green/laser.
2.Meeting some non-jerky relatives of Jacques, running the Gele family business maybe.
3.Neo and Cinder near-simultaneously backstabbing each other.
I need this Roman Torchwick revival video my man. 💯🤔
Don One He’s still better than the other villains.
Don One better to die a well written character than to live as a poorly written mess
And the way a character dies shouldn’t change how we view their character. And his death has an ironic bite to it because he died right when he said he was gonna survive.
"How the hell are they gonna defeat that whale?" - A question for the ages. XD
I actually have this weird gut feeling with no factual basis that either Ren or Nora is going to die, more likely Nora.
I really want to see Neo we just become a new good guy and just totally backstab and kill Cinder. Moreso I just want Cinder to die, she has had more than enough chances and has taken zero initiative to do things herself besides hunting down more power. I just want Neo to discover the real truth behind Torchwick's death. Maybe that's how the last wish gets used.
I also think we might get something along the lines of Team RWBY & JPNR getting a SOS out to Shade or some other people. This has been teased a bit before but not used. Im not sure if its too late at this point but itd be beautiful to see Atlas hold out till reinforcements came. I think this was the point of Watts and Tyrian even coming to mess with Ironwood.
I love the idea of Salem taking over Atlas, using it as a second base of operations, and forcing Ironwood and everyone left alive into servitude.
😀😀😀😀 me too
Man, I hope I'm wrong. I HOPE I'M WRONG. But I think Ren is gonna die. So many death flags for him this volume and it's not uncommon for half of a ship to be killed off just after becoming canon. We've seen this troupe being played out before: (Arkos).
What about the students of atlas academy?
I hope we are introduced to more students and that team FNKI doesn't die. They will probably all be forced into battle though
I just wanna say i absolutely LOVE the way you edit your videos (assuming you're the one who edits them of course) putting the pictures on the screen to illustrate your setences really helps us follow your train of thoughts,, i dont know, its something simple but it makes me happy for some reason ahaha I also really like the way you talk and your opinions and stuff, so keep it up!! and thank you for putting out rwby content so frequently for us, it's so nice to watch these videos in the middle of an hiatus
Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoy my videos 😊 I am the one who edits every video, I really appreciate the support and encouragement
I still stand by my theory that Salem will force Atlas and Mantle into submission and making herself queen and use Atlas and her grimm to conquer the rest of renmant like she first wanted to do when she was with Ozma 2.0. Maybe even Ironwood will join team Salami since he is broke and all.
Ironwood would never do that even if he was broken. The entire reason for his breakdown is his desperation to stop her.
@@gordonchell4364 I also told another guy weeks ago, Ironwood will never try to kill Oscar and here we are.
@@argenisraul8111 Ironwood shot Oscar because he tried to stop him. It doesn't make sense that he would help Salem.
@@gordonchell4364 It makes a lot of sense ironwood joining Salem, if salem spares Atlas, ironwood would be under her control
Volume 8 opens like the first opening scene in Infinity war style.
Yassir
It would be kind of interesting if Torchwick could really come back to life.
I mean if I remember correctly in Vol 3 when Qrow first showed up and he gave his report to Ozpin he said something about "seeing people coming back from the dead".
I don't think he was talking about either Salem or Ozpin since he only learned about Salems immortality in Vol 7 and Ozpin being the one he his talking to. So maybe Torchwick will come back as some kind of half Grimm or maybe he was able to fight his way back out.
Would personally really like to see him back, not because I like him but Neo needs him ^^
You're theories have given me life the passed 3 days and I thank you with a subscribe.
I took Clover’s absence from the intro fight as potential foreshadowing
My headcanons I want for volume 8:
Theory 1: Salem and Summer team up with their clan of warriors and goes on a quest for the staff, Summer meets Ruby for the first time but she fights everyone including Penny while the clan moves elsewhere
Theory 2: Marrow defects from the aces and they learn about Clover’s death which causes them to reflect on how they viewed one another to me this’ll cause Marrow to join the Huntresses
Theory 3: We learn a bit more on Cinder’s backstory and meet her parents and brothers in a flashback and Neo putting Cinder in her place
Theory 4: Rarepair Willow and Watts meet after years apart as he gets broken out due to some interference from the Happy Huntresses getting Robyn and Qrow
Theory 5: Ironwood and Oz throw hands after learning that he shot Oscar as well Robyn and Qrow vs Tyrian rematch
If the Salem Summer team up happens I will scream to high heavens and then how such a team up actually happen.
Sunni Corran Me and some friends were on discord talking about our fav ships and the topic of Summer not only being alive but falling in love with Salem over the years came up along with them having a clan full of corrupted and genuine silver eyed warriors
@@Salemwaaa if that actually happens, then my mind will be blown.
Sunni Corran I know! Plus speaking of Salem and Summer I bet Summer would be down to take down Atlas and Ironwood but she won’t have grudge against anyone else in my eyes
@@Salemwaaa guess we just have to wait and see.
Will Ruby lose an eye? Tyrian did foreshadow that back in volume 4 after what he said to Cinder after the fall of Beacon.
Gonna call it now Neo is gonna swap the relic and use it.
It all started with an obsessed and vengeful ex (Salem).
I love how you said that if Neo ends up dying, everyone is going to riot. True. So very, very, true.
I want to know more of why Ruby's eyes faltered when Salem mentioned Summer Rose.
I know that positive memories is what makes it work, and knowing that her mother was possibly killed by Salem now would make them glitch out, but the eyes reacted in a way we haven't seen at all yet. If Salem could infect Ruby with more negative memories, can she get the silver eyes to corrupt? I'm hoping that this could be explained in the whole "silver eyes" lore. I mean why else would Salem want Ruby alive, rather then dead?
It will be interesting if they kill off one of team rwby.
NO
My bet is that, if RT actually decides to kill off a member of Team RWBY, it'll be Yang.
Maximus4587 they can’t kill yang because of freakin bumblebee. They have to keep teasing the toxic shippers in order to keep the show alive
@@tiara8633 oh god...
I don't think it would ever happen imo, but yeah, that'd definitely be interesting
See I really hope and feel that Winter will go through some character arc in Volume 8 that deals with her finding a good balance of her personal thoughts and emotions as well as her duties as a soldier.
"If neo dies, we riot" nah I think I'll laugh instead
your ruby undercover impression made me laugh so hard XD
Volume 7 screamed incoming bumblebee drama, just before vacuo and my man ☀️
I think I’ve cracked who Oscar’s fairy tale inspiration is. I believe he is Tip from The Marvelous Land of Oz. Tip was unknowingly the rightful heir to the throne of Oz, and was actually Princess Ozma. I can’t explain everything here, so I recommend a quick Wikipedia search of the character, but I do feel confident in this.
I- I thought he was Dorothy...
Red boots!!!!!! Sorry, I couldn't resist. I think that Oscar is inspired by both of them, but mainly Tip, as the fourth headmaster is theorized to be Dorothy (his name is Theodore and it would follow the Wizard of Oz trend).
I won’t lie I want to see Penny die. Two reasons.
1. I’m curious what Cinder will experience carrying more than one maiden’s powers. We saw in volume 4 what a single maiden did to Cinder, so what happens when she gets two? I’m curious and hope it happens.
2. This is my main one. Penny should have never been brought back. I get it was cool and all to see her back, but it takes away all significance her death had. Think about what it would be like if Pyrrha came back. That’s what I feel Penny coming back did. Her death lost all value because of volume 7 and I want her death to have value again.
Completely agree
My biggest wish for Volume 8 is if they use the Staff to restore Ozma’s magic.
Imagine seeing Oscar flying around throwing elements like the Maidens.
My guesses for volume 8
-team rwby and the rest meet up with Oscar/Ozpin and forgive Ozpin about keeping secrets seeing how team rwby ended up doing the same thing
-the crew meet up with the happy huntresses and discuss how to get to Atlis and get rid of the grimm
-Cinder and Neo meet up with Salem and Salem thanks Neo for getting her the relic, and as thanks for it she allows Neo to go look for Ruby without any worry of grimm interrupting her
-Cinder gets pissed for not getting any thanks and Salem tells her that if she wants praise than go find the winter maiden and take her powers
-Qrow and Robyn get taken to Ironwood and he demands answers for Tyran and Clover and the two of them tell Ironwood that he only has himself to blame for both of them
-Ironwood attempts to kill Qrow but is saved by Tia from a Raven portal followed by Glinda and Zwei
-big fight breaks out between them and it is revealed the Zwei has a semblance that turns him into a werewolf like creature
-team rwby and Penny go to Atlis to get the relic while the others fend off the grimm and try to get the lamp back
-Ruby and Weiss use the relic of creation together to create an anti-grimm army using Ruby’s sliver eyed powers and Weiss’s summoning glyph as a sort of base for the armies creation and the relic as a power source
-Salem starts loosing troops and decides for a tactical retreat with the lamp, Watts, and Tyran in hand while leaving the whale and other grimm to stay behind and destroy the kingdom
-Atlis falls
When you talked about them going inside the big whale, I got huge Final Fantasy X vibes!
atlas pulls out a huge bayonet and charges the whale, *proud guardsmen noises*
If the whole death thing does happen at the beginning of the volume like you think, aside from Pennys father (idk how to spell his name) and Maria maybe Tyrian dies cause Qrow said he would kill him and Robin help Qrow find him and she like go on get your revenge and Qrow is like yes and no, like he wants to but doesn’t because he’s like then ill be just like you or worst and thinks of ruby and the others or something else happens like Salem isnt happy with Watts and Tyrian and she makes them feel safe but them offs them or something. So many crazy possibilities
I hope the finaly give Emrald and mercury new close, more character development with whitly wiess and winter about their family, ruby acting more like leader and mature more, yang meets mercury again and fight whike also to try to talk thing out and tries talking to him why he joins salem and why he became evil and tries to convince him to join their side and sympathy with him, Blake tries proving to the people of atlus and mantle that founus are good people while fighting salem forsives and runs into Emrald and fights and also tries to talk her out of joining salembecause we see Emrald doesnt like working with her, Oscar get good character development with Ozpim and leans how to usr magic, John gets some more screen time and see how he fights, Nora needs to get a back story and more screen time and see her fight more, Ren need more screen time and explain whats wrong with him and what side who he chooses. What really need to change: Blake and Yange have to stop pairing up all the time to gather and work with other people like wiess and ruby or team JNR or work by themselves, Ruby and Yange need to have more interactions with each other because we haven't seen any sister moments with them or fighting with each other, Wiess and Blake need to interact more because they can ackley help stop founus discrimination by working to gather, Ruby and oscar need more interact more and work with each other with problems and fighting and mabey start having a romantic relationship between them, Team JRN need more fighting screen time, more information about summer rose, Cinder need a back story on why she is doing this, Noe also need a back story and how she met Roman.
I really hope we'll get to see more of Mercury and Emerald
