    One cool thing that is easy to miss: when Hazel says "this is your business, not mine", it's a callback and quote from back when Adam killed Sierra. Back then, Hazel complained he didn't approve the murder and Adan replied "this is my business not yours"

    I love that that you can tell the difference in experience (with fighting in general and the Maiden powers) between Cinder and Raven. Cinder uses her powers a lot, frequently creating new weapons (instead of using her original weapons that she tossed aside back in 3x07), and even summoning that huge fire sword seems to require a lot of energy and big gestures. Raven, on the other hand, has her real sword. And while the dust sheathes do keep breaking she still has the base so she doesn’t have to waste energy. Then when she creates the ice sword it’s the smooth graceful movement. Honestly for most of the fight Raven seems to have the advantage.

    Maiden powers do transfer to the last person in their thoughts as long as that person is a candidate to receive the powers.
    It's not so much that Yang took a long time to reach the vault as we were seeing the Raven/Cinder fight simultaneous to some of the other fighting. That, or the maidens are extremely quick. They were fighting on falling rock after all, but that may have just been for the style points and the coolness factor.

      I don’t know, Raven’s aura was low and if Vernal hadn’t been there, Raven probably could have still lost… It was pretty close, I think… In a straight one on one fight, I think it could have gone either way, although I might still slightly lean towards Raven… Cinder is a beast though… Quite literally now… At least partially lol.

Cinder was outclassed in experience and level-headedness by Raven. The only real advantage Cinder had during the fight was when she pulled out her grimm powers and even that was a severe detriment that Raven eventually could and would exploit. Above everything else, Cinder's own inflated ego led her to keep fighting a battle that was too far against her favor, preventing her from falling back and rethinking even a little bit of what she should do next.

All the blades she uses are different elemental dust crystals made into blades for the hilt of the sword. All those blades are only temporary and held within the revolver that she’s both the hilt and blade. Honestly one of my favorite weapons because of the concept

  • @JJR93

    Small detail, but when Raven smacks Cinder in the face to push her off the platform, it shatters the mask Cinder's been wearing under her bangs (that Jaune damaged slightly) and we can see for just a second the aftermath of what Ruby's silver eyed blast did to her in Volume 3. Presumably the Maiden Power protected the other eye.

    I do like that Hazel is just an unstoppable force WHEN his aura is up. Most huntsmen/huntresses still feel pain when their aura is up, but they won't get physically injured until their aura's energy runs out. Hazel's semblance make him immune even to the pain that most other aura-empowered people have to deal with. I like sheer will and tenacity style characters, so it just clicks for me.

      Now she's just this entitled brat with with delusions of grandeur who thinks no one is as strong as she.
      She doesn't follow orders, makes her own plans usually based on, as Watts puts it, her grudge against a child. Plans which usually end in a fail because she likes to play with her food. (Likes to take time to gloat.)
      She could have killed Raven on the spot as she had the drop on her in the previous episode. Instead she saved her to likely do a Pyrrah on her after she got got the maiden and relic.

      @@Andrew1990M Heh, I had a theory a few years ago that CRWBY might use as a loophole to RWBY becoming maidens.
      They would all briefly get the powers. Then they'd give it all back to Oz somehow so that he could fight Salem.
      Thus keeping (sorta) to their earlier assertion that RWBY won't end up being maidens. Which is hard to ignore given all the name play and relationships between the characters.
      However, the more I thought about it, the more ridiculous the theory sounded. There is no way I can see reasonably explaining all of Team RWBY getting the powers at the same time. And they would have to get the powers around the same time for any of that to work. Else it would lead to even more oddball story telling.
      So yeah, do know what their final plan was for that scenario. I am leaning towards no maidenship for the girls. It would complicate things.

      That makes it all the more impressive that Cinder can fight on the same level despite being half Raven’s age and with several disabilities including a missing eye, arm, and scar tissue. Also, Cinder by this point has only a few months at most experience with the Maiden powers, whereas Raven has had over a *_decade._* and despite that incredible disadvantage, Cinder is still on the same level. Imagine how much more formidable Cinder would be if she was never injured in the first place, or finds a way to heal her injuries in the future.

    Isn't it crazy, all that power and Raven is still so afraid. It's the typical villain route, they're so afraid of defeat that they amass power and destroy competitors. Except Raven is too scared to have enemies, so she amasses power in solitude. Her tribe attacks undefended towns, but lives in tents in the wild and fears the Grimm. She (imo) won considerably easily against Cinder but her only ambition is to lay low and survive. I find her character so interesting because her fear makes her do things I can't understand. Raven could never be a hero, and wouldn't dare become a villain, because it just draws too much attention.

    @Hawk_of_Battle Год назад +20

    The Raven vs Cinder fight is the absolute highlight of this volume. Some of the other fights are kinda wonky and the pacing is weird at times, but this was the first time we got close to that old Monty-esque style since his passing. To whit; some things to point out about the fight itself;
    The animators actually took the time to show Ravens blades shattering (she uses disposable dust blades of different elements) and her replacing the hilt and drawing a new one from the sheath. It happens each time the blades shatter but it's so quick you can barely see it without slowing it down. Same for when they both swap weapons mid fight, Raven actually recovers her hilt barely a second later. It's hard to pick it out but it's in there.
    You can clearly see the difference in skill and power level between Cinder and Raven here. Raven is both older, has been raised by bandits in the wild, *and* has Huntress training at the academy, and she shows off all that here, relying on pure sword skill through much of the fight. She's constantly aware of her surroundings, and immediately picks up on things that Cinder ignores, such as the falling rocks, that Vernal is still alive and points out Cinders lack of protective aura on her Grimm arm, an obvious weakspot she can exploit. She also constantly tries to move and attack from Cinders blindside.
    On the maiden powers side of things, we know Cinder hasn't had the full power for anywhere near as long as Raven has (it's still less than a year since Beacon fell, and she only had the partial power before that) and while we don't know for certain how long Raven has had the power, it's presumably much longer. Cinder struggles to summon the fire sword, whilst Raven summons an even larger ice blade with ease. Raven is also able to leap to the falling rocks in a single motion, but Cinder requires sustained fire output to reach her. Cinder is also constantly using her semblance to create new weapons to fight with too, whereas Ravens semblance and bird magics can't really help her in a fight much, so she's used to relying on pure skill and the occasional bit of Maiden power, which since she tries to keep it secret, is something she probably doesn't typically break out unless she knows she's not leaving any survivors.
    All in all, Raven is at the absolute peak of her ability here and utterly schools Cinder at every turn. Aside from Salem herself, whom Raven is obviously scared of, Raven is absolutely the most powerful and skilled warrior in the show at this point, and it shows.

    Fun Facts
    Fact 1: The title of the episode could be a pun on Cinder's defeat.
    Fact 2: Hazel's line to Adam, "This... is your business, not mine." is a callback to Adam stating a similar line to Hazel after killing Sienna Khan in "Dread in the Air".
    Fact 3: The giant elemental blades used during Cinder and Raven's fight were inspired by "Final Fantasy"
    Fact 4: In the complete version of Volume 5, a few details in this episode were polished.
    Multiple times when the camera is focused outside, the fighting inside the building was added when it wasn't there before.
    When Cinder first flies up to the falling rocks during her fight with Raven, rather than remaining still while elevating in the original, movement was added to it in the complete version.

    Raven is Qrow's twin. Even if she was the person in Cinder's final thoughts Raven probably falls under the "some old hag" exception as Qrow put it. In that case the power would go to someone random, or possibly to whoever was in Amber's final thoughts as Raven stole it in a fashion never seen before, so the rules are kinda unknown.

    They do make sure to note that if Hazel were to receive enough damage he would be unable to keep fighting regardless of the lack of pain, but usually in a fight pain can be something that slows us down so it can be useful. I mean just look at when Nora sent him flying out the main door. A normal person would probably take a bit to get back up, but since Hazel doesn't feel the pain he just stands right up and his voice shows no strain whatsoever.

      Personally, I feel Cinder is so egocentric and bitter. If she had the capacity to think of someone specifically to inherit the maiden powers, she would think of someone decidedly unable to, just as a f*** you to the world.

    What a memorable fight!
    You two should check out the Project Shadow fanfilm by JoaoFilipeSantiago, to gear up for the third movie and get more acquainted with SA2's lore. (Not to mention it just being an amazing, emotional, well-made short movie!)

    - Yup, Jaune's semblance lets him supercharge other people's auras with his. Here it lets Weiss' aura heal her really fast, but in future volumes he uses it for a few other tricks as well.
    - Guess what Fangies, you're surrounded and heavily outnumbered, and mostly by other Faunus, not Humans. Are you _sure_ you want to fight?😈
    - and here we have the White Fang realizing just how nuts Adam is.
    - Weiss has a new toy 😄
    - that 'plant sword into the ground to change momentum' trick Raven uses is similar to a move Qrow used while fighting Tyrian.
    - yeah, you can't fault Vernal's loyalty. 🙁To bad that loyalty was given to some so undeserving.
    - Yeah, Hazel's Semblance would be far less useful to someone with less aura or size, since it would be far easier to break bones, but as Ozpin said, it's what lets him inject dust directly into himself without collapsing in agony from the power coursing through him.
    - The Maiden power goes to whoever is in the Maiden's thoughts as they die, _if_ that person is female and in the right age range. Of course I doubt there's been many times where 2 Maidens fought to the death before. Maybe if the target is already a Maiden it counts as 'invalid selection' and randomizes like if the Maiden had been thinking of a male at the time.

    Raven vs Cinder is one of my favorite fights in the series. Also, to clarify, Raven is too old to receive more maiden powers. The cutoff age is 30.

    Since you also do reactions to Death Battles,
    1) Remember that location where Raven and Cinder are going at it. You'll see it (unless you already reacted to Heihachi vs Geese).
    2) If I'm not mistaken, it's after this volume (but I could be wrong and it could be after next volume) that you can watch Weiss vs Mitsuru without spoilers.

    A number of people in the FNDM don’t care for Volume 5 as much as others. They’re allowed their opinions, but frankly, I like how, as you can see here, it finally gives the good guys a much-needed win after all the crap they’ve gone through. Plus, the Duel of the Maidens is easily one of the most hyped moments in the series, and one of the best fights.

  • @LunarValkyria

    the person in their last thoughts needs to be a young woman. Raven is not a young woman so she wouldn't receive the powers so the powers would go to random person if Raven was in Cinder's last thoughts. Raven likely got her powers a while ago while she was still fitting that requirement.
    Raven vs Cinder, the fight that took the volumes animation budget. lol
    Jokes aside, that was a really fun fight.

    The Maiden vs. Maiden fight reportedly sucked up a lot of the animation budget for RWBY5, as did the "character shorts" that preceded the volume....they had to take shortcuts elsewhere and it shows, particularly in some of the choices made in the next episode, IMHO.

    I don't get why Raven felt the need to open the vault now that everyone besides Yang, that knows she is the Spring Maiden is dead. Also there is always 4 maidens(unless you have whatever power Salem gave to Cinder who can just take them all), so Raven can't get the power.

    Cinder is stronger, but Raven is far more experienced and cunning....using the physical environment as an additional weapon against Cinder.

    • @JJR93
      @JJR93 Год назад

      One thing that might've helped Volume 5 is if CRWBY had used "time cards" here and there....like the scene with Raven & Cinder might've said "Five minutes earlier..." to account for Yang's delayed entry into the scene. You just have to infer it, and you have to infer from dialogue that Blake's timeline is happening behind the main timeline until this very episode.

    His tactics arne't justified, but when you see what humans did to Adam in the future, his hate IS justified. And what the faunus are allegory for makes the cheering against him kinda ugly. He's blinded by his hate, but his hate in understandable.

    Ok to everyone thinking ruby needs to become a maiden I will tell keep ruby pure because the saying is true power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely if you think about this picture the most powerful person in any universe them picture that person with the power of God which technologically that's what the maiden powers are so no ruby has enough power with her semblance and the silver eyes
