#RWBY FINALE

[bumblebybelladonna]

Thanks V9

RWBY has done some really beautiful things with foreshadowing, so that's why I think that Ruby should defeat Saleem by accidentally sneezing fire because of dust just like s1e2.

Team RWBY Sends The Curious Cat To The ShadowRealm

[marylizabetha]

Show that fight scene between Ruby and the cat to anyone who says that the animation is bad.

[penny-weiss]

Choose for yourself one who can leave your burdens behind or choose one who will be enough to bear them.

What happens if I choose me?

Then maybe that girl is enough.

[guillotinedream]

Ok is that the fucking amity colosseum in that end shot?? And all those ships look atlesean. When exactly did team rwbyj get transported to???? The past??? The present??? The future??? THIS IS GOING TO KILL ME

[always-undermining]

i was flabbergasted by those reveals like... ot everything is as it seems... Summer wasn’t everything we thought... the brothers are the creators of the ever after but not how you think... a small act of kindnes and one act of dishonesty can make or break things...

Team rwby will be gone from vacuo for like a week maybe, but no more than that.

I am a new fan to RWBY, and all I can say is that Rose Garden is my favorite ship. Since oscar First appeared, I just shipped them. Hopefully, they can have a cute reunion in vacuo, but my theory is that oscar will still be the age he is now, and little to no time has passed since team rwby disappeared.

Why?

First, because if years have passed since they disappeared, Salem will probably have already attacked vacuo to get the relic. It would not make sense that she waits years to attack Shade Academy and conveniently attacks when team rwby returns after years?

Second, because in the case that she DID attacked vacuo when they were on the never after, there is no way that they will just skip that part and not involve team rwby on it.

That's why I think team rwby will be gone for like a week maybe, but no more than that. Or even less.

I really hope at least a week so they have time to mourn team rwby, and when they come back, we can have a big reunion.

RWBY finale reaction (long af)

Oh boi there was hype for this

The alarm i had for these EP was faster than a speeding bullet and yeah that sums it up

Warning this is a 26 minute long ep so this reaction/live blog is long beware

The intro has been such a foreshadowing tool this volume.

And more storytime with summer!

Ohhh that's adorable and such a good model btw

And sure enough it was the last night

TAI MY BOOOOY

TAI YOOOO

that window framing is awesome

And ozpin is ozpin

Awww thats just to cute

AND RAVEN MY GOD

THIS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT

it's raven and summer battling it out, and ruby saw that!

Ruby was not the one to receive the you never were the hero line, i knew that wasn't summers voice

And jaune is reverting back to his old self, good

Alyx is blacksmith yes.

And action!

Wiess got that ice queen ground pound

And the cat laughing and smiling is amazing

"These feelings" on the nose there rt, i like it.

And it's big pussy!

And the blacksmith pressures 

And Yang got yeeted into Blake omg background bees are awesome.

And summer ex machina for ruby

The way she runs.

And sure enough ruby find herself.

RED LIKE ROSES PART 3 YAAAAS

and she sky dives into CR

Petals like the trailer

The HERO SHOT

And that's where the budget went

Into this fight.

The little smirk before that 50cal shot Damm

The rainbow 🌈

I can't 

The colors the glyphs from wiess 

All 4 girls so perfectly synced

Who ever said RWBY isn't visually pretty are wrong.

And the lineup affirming her.

And the hug.

And neo and roman aww.

#saveneo 

Yeah neo redemption arc us still open but that was a good choice i like that.

And i thought we'd see a design change but I'm okay with just seeing that in vacuo next volume.

And little gets a sendoff as somewhat.

And ruby tears oh my God

MY HEART

And a new chapter, a new hero for jaune

The circle, the ever after continues.

And the team holding hand awww

In we go…

Okay this is a great sequence, the blacksmith or as Blake says the tree. 

And the brothers are not the creators, only the tree.

So the ever after is the the first world.

And that story was some serious lore dumping

Really Salem was the second jabberwalker

I do t believe ozpin knows this information, RWBY now knows everything about the world i believe

And jaune is back

And the meta is funny.

And I CALLED THE TIME TRAVEL!!!

that last shot of ruby turning back is awesome gonna be my wallpaper

Oh not time travel oh well

At least we saw vacuo.

And the atlas military?

Or perhaps vacuo's forces protecting the survivors.

And guys watch the credits go appreciate all these people.

And RTA keep the logo

And only a trailer no post credits scene???

Well that's a bit what I was expecting but I'm okay with it, some major lore and summer's death no longer so mysterious, yet also much more mysterious, most are saying the girls went out to go see a maiden and that mission went wrong. as for time change, like a few days, enough for the atlas crew to get to vacuo and collect themselves, perhaps having sent out a team to go find RWBY and Jaune?

(edit so i can confirm the ships are from the kingdoms who are there to support RWBY after the call broadcast from atlas, can't wait for ruby leading the whole world and all the action and arguments that brings)

also heres RLR part 3 lyrics from casey, cause we were too cought up in that fight OMG

[etinceelle]

So when exsacly do you think penny will come back?

So I had two main ideas and moments for her to come back, but I still need to think more about it cause those are just first ideas :

Considering the fact that it was a long time between Volume 4 and Volume 7, Pietro had time to recover her core and rebuild her. So it took most likely 1 or 2 years to make her again. At the end of Volume 9, we see this shot of Vacuo with Amity Collosseum and a lot of ships from every kingdom in Remnant, implying a time skip, but we don't know how many months or even year have passed on Remnant. It surely must need time to take Amity, bring it to Vacuo and repair it, as well for the other Kingdoms to probably go to Atlas, see what happened and go to Vacuo with everyone else (unless somehow they learned about everyone being saved in Vacuo so they went there directly, idk).

I imagine this time skip would be of a few months, I'd say between 6 months and 1 year. Time is different in the Ever After and for the reunion for everyone to be emotional, I guess time must have passed for a bit so it's also impactful for Ren and Nora to reunite with Jaune, for Qrow to reunite with team RWBY, for Winter and the Schnee family to reunite with Weiss, etc. It's also probably be impactful for Ruby to see Winter with the Winter Maiden, and I imagine she won't be able to think about Penny if she sees her using her powers, anyway I digress-

Pietro is probably grieving and mourning Penny since the last time we saw him in Volume 8, and once settled in Vacuo he most likely at least tried to remake Penny. Considering that he needed 1 or 2 years for him to rebuild her, and with the time skip of let's say 1 year, he would be in the middle of the process if he's still trying to create another robot body. Sooo with all of that said, she could definitely come back during the Vacuo arc, I don't know if that would be in V10 cause narratively this would be a big deal, a big climax, and I don't know if that's too soon or too big for the first volume of the Vacuo arc (I mean, if we follow the rules established so far for each arc : 3 volumes per kingdom). Penny could then maybe come back at the end of Volume 12, to parallel the finale of V8, and also it's the same amont of time between V8 finale and V12 than the end of V3 and V7, 4 entiere volumes. I mean I just thought of it when writing it but it would make sense to me. I'm trying to keep a writer state of mind to be logical so my arguments seem valid aha (even if I'm not a pro writer krkr).

My second idea is that she would come back at the end of the RWBY story, at the end of the series. Not necessarily at THE END end, but during the final arc or the final moments of the story. Why that, because I believe V9 plot wasn't just to explain cute little origins for the two Brothers and for Ruby's development, but of course to set up things for later and probably the big finale. Everything's still up in the air and the two Brothers will definitely be involved, as well as maybe the Blacksmith and the Ever After. I don't know how or when because this is big deal and obviously I'm not in the writers mind and I imagine they have ideas for this big end for a long time now, even if this is not precise of course. The most important thing is that the Blacksmith had Penny's sword (yeah I know that some say that it was just an illusion, but I still think it's odd, and again this weird "nothing, no one is ever truly lost" and then poof Penny appears on the sword, idk it just makes me feel like the Blacksmith knows something and might be involved later. The spirits from the Relic could also be involved too as they were created by the the two Brothers. Ambrosius could even meet Pietro at some point too :]

Anyway those are my main ideas, but I would be curious if anyone had other ideas !

(I love the Blacksmith)
