RWBY Volume 7: Chapter 11 - Gravity

Thoughts & Theories

1. So Salem killed Summer...Ooof. I’ve been thinking for awhile that the reason people don’t about Salem is that she’s be en imprisoned for a long time. And since Salem hunts Silver-Eyed Warriors and she’s at least part Grimm, it stands to reason the SEWs keep petrifying her. I’m thinking Summer tried to and failed. Kudos to CRWBY though for making these shots of Summer chilling. Last volume we saw her on this cliff bathed in dawn light, smiling and happy. Now we see...the truth? Ominous dark clouds, the grass is wilting...

2. “Ironwood no! I trusted you!” said literally no one. Just as the cowardly lion couldn’t find his courage, the tin man couldn’t find his heart. He’s willing to do anything to stop Salem, but he refuses to learn that stopping Salem from burning the world doesn’t mean anything if you do it for her. Salem loves to Divide & Conquer. So Ironwood finally flipping out is not surprising, but I love the foreshadowing form episode 8 of Cinder’s chess piece troll.

And he does get bad-ass point for getting his skin burnt off. Not enough points to stop the girls from sending this dictator plummeting to earth before the volume’s done though.

3. Ironwood mentions the ‘timeline’ like Cinder did last episode. Not sure what to make of that...perhaps just artistic mirroring, or is their another level of this scheming we haven’t gotten to yet.

4. While JNR are obviously team RWBY ride or die, I’m curious how Clover will react. He seemed shocked, and I have a feeling because of his feelings for Qrow he’s going to turn on Ironwood. The theme of the Volume is Trust Love, the other Aesops refuse to have relationships that would cause them to follow their hearts, but now Clover does.

We also don’t really see how Penny and Winter react...could this split them up? I’m thinking yes.

5. Team RWBY vs the Ace-Ops. Oh Boy. Predicting Ruby vs Harriet & Yang vs Elm.

Marrow (he looks so sad to be doing this!) would be a cool fight vs either Weiss or Blake, not sure which will fight Vine. I doubt any of the Ace-Ops will die though. Or possibly, Just a straight up Blake and Yang vs Elm and vine, while Ruby races Harriet and Marrow...lets Weiss go. If Winter’s getting those Maiden powers, Weiss should be there.

6. Ruby was so good in this episode. Defying Ironwood at every turn, I’m so proud! Her writing has really improved over the last couple volumes and this scene is the new peak.

But I’m worried bout those eyes. She had trouble activating them last episode, and now we see her breakdown causing them go haywire, just like with Pyrrha. Will she be able to rein them it when it’s time?

7. I’m kinda worried about Jaune. Yang flipped when she found out Cinder was alive, he may explode. Especially since he’s undoubtedly having Beacon flashbacks.

And BOY IS THIS SHOT FAMILIAR!

8. Winter’s going to die...I get the feeling Penny is going to leave her to confront Ironwood about his BS and Cinder will follow her right to Fria.

It’s very possible she gets the powers before Cinder gets to her. But as we saw with Raven, experience matters. Cinder’s had her powers for, what, a year? I think Winter is done for sadly.

9. Well....shit, Oscar got kidnapped for realz this time! I’m guessing Neo??

10. Bees sighting of the week: I love that Yang immediately defends Blake when everyone leaps on her about Robyn. So cute, so hot, so loving. Also, the way she flinched back when Ironwood asked if she was with him...*Adam flashbacks* much?

“Your mother said those words to me.”

“My..mother..?”

“She was wrong too.”

ahaha i am trying to cope

[theyrebeesadam]

Ironwood vs Watts without context

[sinko-s]

Queerbaiting is disgusting in itself. But to kill a Queerbaiting couple on the background of the flag of pride ... Well, good luck, Rooster Teeth with your priorities.

She immediately defends her girlfriend, they are so cute!!!!!

[pkdonuts5]

What

the fuck.

[maxiemumdamage]

Okay that is an excellent point, thank you OP

I need you all to remember that Weiss literally had a FUCKING bomb dropped on her this episode when Ironwood said that he ordered Winter to take the maiden’s powers.

The last time that happened in the show, Pyrrha died. You can’t expect Weiss to just ignore the fact that her sister is essentially being sentenced to death by Ironwood.

Winter is one of the closest people in Weiss’s life. It’s completely realistic for her to be distraught and act removed from the situation after hearing that Winter is going to be put in an incredibly dangerous and potentially fatal situation.

So her not comforting Ruby isn’t an unrealistic reaction when she’s experiencing her own trauma at the same time!
