So we get to see a bit more of Adam. It seems to me like he was a dick from the beginning.

 

Although I'm not a fan of the exessive bullet blocking, the fighting was quite good.

Volume 6 is starting October 27th.

[Ren-san]

It didn't seem like Adam was a dick at the beginning of the video. If anything, Adam seems more like Azula from Avatar the Last Airbender in the sense of going down a dark path because the people he cared for started to distance themselves from him. Blake's father, Ghira Belladonna, didn't seem like he wanted to be the leader of the cause (or movement), rather he chose to be in charge in order to lead the faunus down a path of coexistence with the humans. While Sienna Khan comes off as a person wanting (or desiring) the role of leader of the White Fang.

The new Volume of RWBY won't be on Youtube, because Youtube keeps sucking more. They said for example they couldn't even monetize their own Videos of their own IP (RvB PSA about making Videos).

It will be on roosterteeth.com with the same one week time difference between First members and free members. It's also on other sites that I didn't remember.

They annouced that on the recent RTX London panel:

Aaaand we got our opening. I don't hate it....but I'm not quite in love with it yet

I'm in love with what was shown in it but I kinda dig the style and tone of this new song tbh

Episode 1 came out too and I really enjoyed it

Spoiler

The second I saw that old lady in the trailer I had a feeling that she was gonna be involved in the Silver Eyes subplot and the OP coupled with the fact that she's clearly gonna be travelling with Team RWBY this season has me 99% certain that she's gonna be the catalyst for us to get to know more about those eyes

Also I am HELLA CURIOUS to see what this shadow stuff is gonna be about that is involving Crow and Ruby (I wonder if that theory about him being her real dad will actually pan out because of this) and I REALLY wanna know who that hooded girl is + the situation surrounding all the stuff that was shown involving Ozpin in the OP - Like that girl next to the statue whom I'm guessing could be Salem

But as for the episode, all of the character moments were really nice and I kinda got some feels at certain moments lol

But that kill shot on the boss grim tho

EDIT: Totally missed Torchwick's hat.... I wonder if this man is still alive or is my waifu Neo finally returning

Was there a "not" missing in your first sentence, because that sentence sounds a bit off to me?

 

That was a nice episode to start off the Volume.

 

Spoiler

I think there are a bunch of things we can get from the opening. My favorite thing is that Neo is propably coming back this volume (hooded person, but she has a robot left arm). I hope she is gonna join the good side, but does she even know what happend after she flew off the ship. Does she know that Torchwick is dead and that it wasn't really Rubys doing. Will she fight against Ruby because she thinks she is responsible for Torchwicks death or will she fight against Cinder/Salem since they got them wrapped up in this?

 

The writers confirmed that Qrow is not Rubys dad. She just idolized him and copied his style. https://www.reddit.c...d67g/?context=3

I do wonder what will happen to Qrow and Ruby this Volume. She had the relic on her when she fought those arms in that underground place. Maybe they get swarmed by Grimm that are drawn towards the relic. Why is Ozpin still keeping secrets?

 

That woman next to the statue really could be Salem, since it was shown immediately after Salem raged out (was it just the failure of her minions at Haven or will there be something else she gets mad about or is it a memory of Ozpin that riles her up). The three guys that stood before Ozpin could be three former Ozpins, since that scene gets followed up by transitioning from Ozpin to Oscar.

 

What I think will be in this volume:

-tension between Yang and Blake. It's not ok yet.

-people being angry at Ozpin for still keeping secrets, poor Oscar

-backstory of Ozpin/Salem, since we now have a better window in his thoughts through Oscar

-Ruby getting a silver-eyed-warrior as trainer for her power

-hopefully Neos return

-saving unlce Qrow, part 2

-Cinder not being dead

-conflict between Adams White Fang and Salem faction, and conflict inside the Salem faction?

-Emerald finally getting cold feet after her idol Cinder is suppodedly dead, she wants to leave but can't

 

EDIT: Just read a comment that pointed out that the blade that the hooded figure used is Cinders blade. And she has an artificial left arm. It's Cinder not Neo. But maybe is the one attacking her for revenge. That would explain Torchwicks hat.

Wow. I went in with low expectations after the last two volumes, but this was actually a really good first episode. Welcome back to top form, RWBY. Hope you stay that way this time. Even the opening has grown on me after watching it a million times XD

Yeah, I also noticed Cinder's blade and the artificial arm in the second part of the opening. Though I still think the first hooded woman we saw is Neo. I think they're both wondering around in disguise. And...I'm not sure, maybe my brain is playing tricks on me, but even the outfits look slightly different. IDK, you guys be the judge:

 

 

Of course there's also the very real possibility that Neo has that sword because she's a Maiden too. Or it could be a totally new character and we're being thrown for a loop

The first hooded woman had the same artifical arm as the second one. You can see it at 0:43 in the opeing when the shot pans away from her. It could still be Neo if she used her Semblance to make her look like Cinder.

So does that make his semblence the opposite of Ren's? 

 

Ren can paciify and Jaune amplify.

I was praying to every god in existence that you guys were gonna be wrong about the hooded girl being that fucking bitch but of course she's fucking alive -_- I'm gonna need somebody to kill Cinder once and for all now please, I don't even care who it is

 

Anyway, apart from that I really enjoyed the tension between Team RWBY and Ozpin during that final scene and I'm hyped to learn the truth about Ozpin (Think we all called the blonde woman being Salem too) and what he did....RT better let it all out

 

P.S. That Djinn TOTALLY reminded me of the one that appeared in Magi and I kinda half expected us to see nipples just like the one in Magi too lol

Spoiler

I hope that it will be Jaune, but I think it will be either Emerald or Salem. But all I want for this season, beside it being good, is Neo.

 

I actually never thought that Ozpin had been betrayed by his former comrades, but I still think he handeled it wrong. I get that he has a secret that he doesn't want others to know, but all the half truths (Relic attracting Grimm) seems to do more harm than good. I get that he lied about that the 3 questions being used up, so as to not tempt them. He did say that it had drawbacks, so maybe he was protecting them from the drawback. But again, the half truths (not telling them what the drawbacks are) will only hurt him. Him charging at Ruby was a bit scary though, since it seems so out of character from the normally calm Ozpin.

 

My guess is that he turned Salem into what she is now, so by proxy everything that she causes is also his fault. That would give his phrase that he did more mistake than every person even more weight. I call that he tried to resurrect her / keep her from dying, because he was / is in love with her.

the baddest bitch is back.

 

hopefully she fixes her eye and arm.

 

[Gobi Todic]

I thought that Ozpin would have been more at fault for Salem turning out this way, but he did almost nothing. He died, and when he came back Salem already kind of „bad“. In my opinion the gods were most at fault. They didn't have to show themself to humans and their requests. They could have ignored Salem and not cursed her with immortality. And they could have flown off without literally wiping out mankind except for Salem.

 

Also, if the gods left and killed everyone but Salem, where did all the humans came from when Ozpin was ressurected? Are we to take the opening words from the very first episode literally that all humans (except Salem) came from Dust? Did Salem make them?

 

Jinn said to Ozpin that he can't destroy Salem. So I guess that could mean someone else can, right? Salem is immortal, so she can't be killed, but the gods could. The most surefire way to stop Salem is to unite humanity, bring the relics together and have the gods lift Salems immortality.

The one thing that doesn't quite fit yet are the silver eyes. To me, they appear to be similar to the power the god of light used. That could also be why maidens are weak to it. But could that mean that maybe the silver eyes could defeat Salem?

 

One more thing. Does Salem just want death? Is that why she is trying to collect the relics? Because I always wondered what the ultimate goal behind all her actions was.

 

I have to go back through some of the old episode and compare some of the events with the new information we just got.

 

EDIT:

In the World of Remnant – The great war, when they all bowed to the king of Vale it appears the king is wearing the relic of choice (crown) and has the relic of destruction (sword) (not sure if the cepter we saw in the WoR was the relic of creation since we know that Ozpins cane isn't a relic). So Ozpin was the king of Vale.

 

Ozpin said the curse of his reincarnation was bestowed upon him by the gods because he failed to stop Salem in the past, but that wasn't quite right. He got the curse so he could stop her.

 

The statue that was on the elevator to the spring vault was an effigy of Jinn.

 

In V3C6 Pyrrha talked about her favorite fairy tales and named

the tale of the two brohter – the gods of light and darkness

the shallow sea - ?

I swear the character motives in the story are so petty. 

 

Terrible

 

Salem motives for love then she was betrayed I can understand.

That one giant guy who 

 

How is Ozpin responsible for that, One thing they keep trying to do is paint Ozpin as this horrible guy but the reasons people blame him for are so petty and completely out of his control.

 

- not responsible for Salem

- not responsible for that girl wanting to fight against Grimm.

- Juane blaming him for pyrra

Someone go back in time and tell Them that Keep Cinder a badass. Her becoming a cry baby for salem destroy her character. Make her fucking ruthless.
