Blake's shadows are solid enough to take a hit. When she creates them, they occupy the same space as her. Doing this ejects Blake in a direction of her choosing. If you rewatch the S1C8 fight again, watch carefully when Nora knocks Blake off the ruins. After swinging up to the Nevermore, you'll see that Blake isn't quite high enough to land on it so she creates a shadow mid-air to pop her up the rest of the way.
I've come to the conclusion that Jaune is the Hawkeye of RWBY, minus combat skill. He is the only avenger that doesn't have a special ability, godly power, mutation or magic... But he still is the first one willing to get in the fight.
Emerald with the "how can they be so happy all the time" is my rock. I quote this weekly ever since this came out Edit: "I love how his sword changes shapes and sizes" Me: PHRASING
Vic voiced Qrow from Volume 3-6, after which the "kick Vic" campaign forced him out of the show. Jason Liebrecht voices the character staring in Volume 7, and does a pretty good job of taking over the character. Please don't let your distaste for Vic color your opinion of Qrow - he's one of the most loved characters in RWBY!!
This reminds me of when episode 3 first came out and people were doing "Winter's missing strike counts" for this fight in reference of how Winter was admonishing Weiss for missing thrice during her match. Specially with Qrow casually dodging at the begining.
@@Saeedscnot better than Qrow lmao, she’s good, probably stronger than Qrow now that certain things happened in vol 8, but before that Qrow definitely outclassed her. Which makes sense as he’s older, more experienced, and has been fighting (spoiler name) for a very long time, life and death battles against equals for most of his life at this point.
Some notes; Semblances are like fingerprints, everyone is born with them and some are kinda similar, but they are unique to you. But you have to unlock/uncover your Semblance first. And yes, some Semblances being extremly situational or useless is quite possible. The scene at the beginning of Chapter 1 is also a memorial for Monty, with the shot of the sun and the birds also forming his signature. Yes Qrow is kinda the fandoms "Daddy", so welcome to that 😝. Also he is the one who taught Ruby how to use her Scythe. Lastly, dont be to hard to Ironwood. After all, he has "no Heart". * totaly not trying to be cryptic here *
Atlas at this stage of the game feels like a hi-tech, swaggering Wilhelmine Germany in the late 19th Century....arrogant, technologically advanced, willing to throw their weight around. Part of the international community but quietly despised by the other kingdoms.
You can see how much Winter does love Weiss... She asked how Weiss had been doing so far and Weiss started listing accomplishments... she smacks her down... i don't care about those... Have you been eating properly? Do you have hobbies? Are you making friends?... Essentially are you happy and healthy? She is extremely strict but you can see that her love for Weiss is still above that...
The strict nature also comes from Currently being in the Military which military's pretty much beat that into you quite literally there's nothing wrong with that however the "endearing" part of oneself changes in looks but not in Intention.
The ammount of people who just get upset at the initial treatment and miss that single 1 line that truly conveys her actual thoughts is hilarious to me. Almost all of them realize their mistake in the next batch of episodes because there is a private scene where it becomes extremely clear what their bond is. That being said it just cracks me up every time. And... at the end of the day the reality is that the writers were clearly trying to *present* her as cold and harsh off the bat. So at the end of the day they masterfull succeeded at their goal here. I just think it's awesome how perfectly they convey two sisterhoods that are both *completely different* and yet simultaneously *equally loving.* Different lifestyles make for different people!
Granted Jaune is not as good as the others. But the fact that he's even competing in this tournament already speaks volumes about how much he improved. He met the skill requirement. But that's what makes him so great. Since he's not amazing like everyone else any accomplishment that he makes is pretty awesome. And the fact that he can hold his own and even contribute (you'll see how great he is in the later volumes) says a lot
At this point Jaune literally gets carried through everything. He's only there cause of team Cohesion and Pyra rounding out the party. His team follows the orders and the compensates if those orders are under par by making excellent ingenuity.
you'll see how great he is in the later volumes Exactly this is the problem. Argueing that something is great because of knowledge you have that the other doesn´t yet have makes the arguement kinda invalid. Seriously back when these episodes aired Beefs opinion wasn´t rare. His opinion is perfectly valid and it is a fact that Jaune is getting carried at this point
@@JBasilix i agree the opinion is valid, though I actually like how slow his development is. A lot of characters go through one training arc on the road and then are suddenly on par with the greatest fighters of their generation, who have all spent years honing their skills. Here he went from not being able to take on anything, but having a decent mind for strategy (entrance exam), to taking on a Giant Bear Grimm with Pyrrha controlling his movements (forever falls), to being able to block at least one of Pyrrha’s training hits (right before the dance), to having him take on the same bear Grimm but on his own (Train breach). I like that his progress is so gradual, he might have a lot of aura but he’s not unreasonably OP, he’s still growing, and yeah to payoff will be great, but I appreciate the journey too.
@@BrittanyArtPoetry I do want to point out, Phyrra didn't control all his movements, she did reposition his shield arm, but the actual killing blow was all Juane. Pyrrha just gave him the chance to pull it off.
Mercury smelling the boot is not actually wierd. It's either good new leather has a smell or bad leather has a smell. Either way he is just checking the quality.
Great reaction! I absolutely love the fight between Qrow and Winter. Without spoliers, yes you are born with a semblance. For many, like in Jaune’s case, it may not be unlocked for a while. You’ll find out more soon!
*nods* not everyone discovers their Semblance, and some that do, only discover it by accident. Roosterteeth has stated (I believe), that Torchwick has never discovered his Semblance.
@@TimBrazeau They originally had one planned for him, but then decided against it, reasoning that he isn't the kind of diligent person that would work on discovering his Semblance. So they used the one they had planned for him, and gave it to a different character instead. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say the hint is "Mary had a little lamb".
@@omargoodman2999 interesting little factoid. I've only seen up to the first episode or 2 of Vol 7, your hint is unfortunately either someone I haven't seen yet (or just blanking on) 8P
@@TimBrazeauthe character he’s referencing is in vol. 7 I believe, they’re a minor character but still interesting. This is the first time I’ve heard of this and actually super curious how they would have incorporated that into Torchwick. I’ll give a quick explanation under a spoiler section of the semblance of you want. Spoiler, it’s an invisibility semblance, that can expand to a few people around them. Basically an invisibility field.
@@BlacktoothoneilClose! (Spoilers below for Volume 7 and beyond) There is someone with an invisibility force field semblance, but it's not the "Mary had a little lamb" character. The "Mary" character's semblance is sort of like a bag of holding in her hand. She used it in combination with the invisibility semblance of another character in the truck scene
I mean to be fair I think what he's driving at is the conotations of how Jaune calls his retreat. Like strategically it wasn't a bad call but it does *feel* cowardly the way he says it.
"If I was one of your men, I'd shoot myself." You are literally the only streamer that caught my favorite Qrow line. Also, the bar that Qrow started in is a tease to the introduction of his character, being called the Crow Bar.
You really chose a good time to start this series as the 9th volume just began. Bruce Wayne has actually been doing that for years. The Wayne Foundation has donated millions to help combat poverty, rehabilitate criminals, repair Gotham's infrastructure and help the sick
Ruby: Scorpio - October 31 Weiss: Taurus - May 15 Blake: Capricorn on the Cusp of Aquarius - January 19 Yang: Leo - July 28 And yes, that does make Blake the oldest.
Ok so, in the order it came up: - Blake's semblance clones have some substance and she use them as a foothold for movement. - Something about the tournament fights has always irked me and you saying it made me realize what it was: the previous seasons were choreographed with a fluent general composition outlining them, while the tournament fights were sequences of individual events happening one after the other. - About the limits of Glynda's repairwoman-skills ... let's just say they do exist. - Winter was not winning: - Keep in mind that Qrow was at least tipsy, potentially full-on drunk - The only actual hits she got were a few grazes with the summoned "birds" which as we will learn is the highest form of her semblance (even if she did not go all-out as per choice of summon) - At the beginning of the fight, he dodges about 8 of her strikes (also a callback to earlier, when Winter called out Weiss on "at least 3 missed strikes" in the tournament) - This one is a bit more subtle, but a little bit into the fight, there's a moment where Winter uses a Glyph to get away from one of Qrow's strikes. He looks down at the glyph, realizes she will evade and only then decides to slash at the ground. - After the summoning, she is visibly strained and steels herself for the next leg of the fight, while Qrow is standing there unbothered and with no signs of strain or exhaustion. - There is one more tell for which the context is only given later, so I won't say more about it. To make that clear, all this is NOT supposed to mean that he is leagues above Winter and casually playing with her. She is - at a minimum - in the same general range of skill as he is, so she could be potentially threatening to him and she didn't go all out either. But there is no doubt in my mind that at this point in time, Qrow would have won a serious fight. - Impressive how enraptured you were with the conversation once Winter left. You understood how meaningful it was and just paid complete attention to it. Many reactors gloss over that scene and only take away that cracks in their alliance are forming and miss the actual content, so kudos to you. As always fun to watch and looking forward to more.
So even tho Monty did pass away before he could see RWBY finished, he did write the entire main story arc in his journal that his friends and the writers of the show have and can continue his vision of the main story until the end.
Ironwood is an incredibly well written and compelling character, his character arc is amazing, and the best thing about him is his flaws and how they are handled. All the insults you threw at him are right, he does suck, and that's a part what makes him so incredible, not quite as a person, but as a character. I'm pretty sure I'll see you starting to like him in future reactions, and I'm curious how you'll feel about his development. Personally I really love the direction they took his character, but I've seen people complain about it too, it's a matter of opinion.
I think it's totally fine to like a character that a morally... awful VA has voiced. I still love Qrow as a character, because his character was written by, well, the writers! He's not written by the VA. It's the separation of the person from the character, which I totally understand that not everyone can do, nor everyone _wants_ to do either, and that's also totally fine! Qrow does get recast, so that also helps :P
Qrow was actually the one in control of that entire fight. He provoked Winter by taunting her, he easily dodged all but one of her attacks (when she hit him in the face with the hilt of her sword), he was pursuing her throughout most of the fight - up onto the building, etc. He broke her summoning of the birds, and at the end he was finally about to show a new form of his weapon, but he saw Ironwood behind her and knew he could bait her into getting in trouble. Qrow absolutely would have won that fight if he hadn't put his weapon away and let Ironwood scold her for fighting. Also, Qrow's voice actor is Vic Mignogna. (Edward Elric, Broly, and many other roles, as I'm sure you know).
So, there's actually a very good reason for Neptune's fear of water. It's not explained in the show (at least, it hasn't been mentioned yet) but is addressed in one of the RWBY novels. Let me know if you're cool with getting that info dropped or want it to remain unspoiled.
Wow these uploads are amazingly consistent! Loving your reactions and the way you decypher all the lines and scenes. You're absolutely going to love this volume!!
Ok I hate Neptune as much as anyone XD but you do need to know that in one book it explains why he’s scared of water. His semblance is being able to control whatever water he touches (so op) but he almost drowned his brother so he is scared of doing that again
They also changed animation software several times throughout the series and interviews revealed that some of the software made normal movement smoother but made animating dynamic fights harder. I think that contributes to the sense of the fights being less a dance.
21:12 "Girl pockets are the worst". Aside from the obvious joke being made here, there is also a deeper inside joke as well. The costumes designs in RWBY were made specifically with cosplayers in mind. They wanted to design the outfits so that cosplayer could wear them on the convention floor, with stuff like practical pockets. The joke here is that Ruby's outfit doesn't have "girl pockets".
9:30 - You CAN in fact scrub frame-by-frame on youtube! The comma/left-angle-bracket key goes back one frame, and the period/right-angle-bracket key goes forward one frame.
If you thought the first two volumes had you scatterbrained u have no clue what is coming it will break you in so many ways as it did and still does for many RWBY fans, also Qrow is straight up badass as a character and the controversy with the VA is irrelevant just focus on the character and their place is portrayed in the overall storyline love or hate the VA he put his heart and soul into making the character reality brought him to life from the pages of the script to screen and did so in a way that made so many of us love the character no true fan could honestly deny this
Bro, if you keep up this pace, you might be able to catch up just in time for the Volume 9 finale (if not before). Volume 9 just premiered today and there are only 9 more episodes, so you should have no problem catching up. Edit: Qrow was recast after the allegations came out. You won't hear a difference in voice actors until Volume 7.
Vic's removal from voice acting Qrow was premature and undeserved it was a great Travesty that should of been handled far better then it was. Instead they straight out fired him without even confirming if the allegations were even false (which they all were) however the damage was already done. Freak it wasn't even the same company the allegations were even apart of thats what makes that so messed up.
Hey man as a convicted felon trying to find a job is rough and I messed up when I was 18 I did my time im almost off probation and im 23 now and places just don't want to hire me everywhere in my area needs employees and are short staffed I'm definitely behind the employ felons movement lmao
Which does suck. I mean I dont know your past, but I will say some laws are absolutely idiotic, and can ruin someone’s life for no reason other than a politician wanting control. Some laws should be broken and forgotten, or fought against. Of course things like theft and murder and crimes just as bad should be punished with severity.
Jaune may not have a lot to show for except his strategies for NOW but he's my favorite character for GROWTH And the semblance thing... that'll be explained in a future episode. Some things about the characters are some things you'll learn through external media like books, comics, manga like Neptune's trauma on water, and a few others, etc. You'll only get like hints of it if you analysed the lyrics of the songs.
Qrow is a fan favorite character, and for very good reason! I’m REALLY excited for you to react to this volume! Buckle up! Also, was that “I was sitting on the bench” line you said right before Oz showed up at the fight a John Mulaney reference? Winter is like half the age of Qrow and Ironwood, by the way
1:18:16 You already figured out Ozpin is the Wizard of Oz and they weren't really discrete about Glynda Goodwitch being Glinda the Good Witch of the North. Qrow is the scarecrow and Ironwood is the tin man.
Is Qrow the scarecrow? I would imagine Shade’s headmaster would be the scarecrow, considering each of the other headmasters are a character of the Wizard of Oz.
I know its late to comment, but Qrow was definitely schooling Winter in that fight. He never even properly activated his weapon. Back in season 1 it was established that he's the one who taught Ruby how to use a scythe, which she copied form him.
Heya, been watching since your very first RWBY react video and have always really enjoyed how passionate and genuine you are. This episode was really impactful to me because of how open and vulnerable you were in regard to losing a loved one, which I'm very sorry to hear. I have been struggling with that the past few months and to hear I'm not alone. The content being great is one thing, but the way you connect with the stories told and your audience is inspiring. Keep up the amazing work, I can't wait for what's ahead for the channel!
IT BEGINS! I’m always excited when new reactors make it to Volume 3, it was the first Volume of RWBY I watched live (found the show just after V2 ended), so it’s super nostalgic for me :))))
It's like DOTA. Blake's semblance is CRAZY powerful, but everyone has crazy powers, so it's balanced. Weiss's semblance can do all sorts of insane things, and you haven't even been introduced to its most powerful technique.
Is Jaune goofy, socially awkward, a bit oblivious, and a mediocre fighter? Sure. But when it comes to directing his team in battle, he does know what he's doing. And for all his other faults, that's an important strength he has. Ozpin clearly picked Jaune as leader for a reason, so if we're to assume Oz knows what he's doing, then we'd have to assume making Jaune leader was the right choice
i always find it kinda funny the Mercury is voiced by Sasukes VA i could be wrong but it sure as hell sounds like sasuke n i cant get it outta my head xD
If I’m remembering correctly, the voice actor changed at one point (I think it was Volume 4 or 5). He is voiced by Sauske’s voice actor now, but he wasn’t in Volumes 2 and 3
Hey! I'm a Scorpio, too! Quick note: Mercury from here on is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. And just remember that characters are separate from their VAs. Vic may be a horrible person (I don't remember if that whole thing was proven or not), but his portrayal of Qrow was phenomenal, and he is one of the best characters in the show
@@xenowarrior282as far as i can find it was never proven one way or the other, but i did find this: Mignogna unsuccessfully pursued legal cases against Funimation and other industry professionals in relation to the allegations and was ordered by a court to pay the defendants' legal fees; Mignogna lost three subsequent appeals.
Vic Mignona was framed. This was established beyond doubt-they have video footage of the girls plotting to frame him. But he still lost the case-and his job-because of #MeToo. Vic was innocent of the charges, but was declared guilty in the court of public opinion. You don’t have to withdraw your admiration of Qrow, and in fact it would show greater character on your part of you didn’t withdraw though he were guilty-as it would show your ability to separate the man from his art. But he’s not guilty, so you don’t have to feel guilty for liking his portrayal.
The music during the SSSN fight was based off of Pirates of the Caribbean. "You can't handle water...what...do you drink daily?" I'm looking forwards to a certain RWBY Chibi episode. lol The bartender was voiced by a fan who won a contest to be a guest in the series. Ironwood and Winter were never a couple. They are friends, though. She's been his second-in-command for a long time. 1:14:00 That's no different than the real world in the U.S., however. If you've ever talked with someone who has been in prison, for a marijuana charge, even, they'll tell you how difficult it is for them to find employment. It's even difficult for them to just rent someplace decent to live. Nobody wants to rent to, or give a job to, someone with any kind of mark on their record. No matter how far in the past it was, nor if their crime is something that is now legal in their state, people want nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, it makes starting out fresh, extremely difficult.
I hope you understand that Qrow is not his voice actor, he's his own person and character in the show so don't judge him because of what his VA has done.. I hope you understand ;-;
Qrow easily has some of the best lines in the series. He has all of Torchwick's charisma... But he's a good guy. Also helps that his VA, Vic Mignogna, is a fucking LEGEND. This was pre-allegations. You'll be able to tell when the allegations came cuz they had to change his VA. He's now voiced by the guy that voiced the MC in the anime Darker Than Black. Also, I feel the need to say, as I always do, that those allegations were utter fucking bullshit. You will not find a more wholesome and well mannered VA in the whole damn industry. My man Vic got done dirty as hell. As pissed as I was, and still kinda am, at RT for letting him go, I understand that PR is important. Keeping him around during a time when allegations, as unproven as they are, were being flung left and right will arguably hurt you more than help you, regardless of how innocent the man ends up being. That said, the company has been burning down for years now, so arguably it wouldn't really have mattered in the first place. In the end, shit like that is always messy and hard to work with for everyone involved. Unless your name is Monica Rial and you're a jealous, backstabbing bitch who started the whole thing because you can't take a harmless fucking joke. Christ, I hate that woman. Good VA but God she's a trash person in my eyes now, and I hate it.
@Colt true in fact I think last I checked even people who were doing it to him are waking up to it now or something like that which I wish more people would because I hate that happened to him
@@reno2319 Honestly, I don't even really feel that mad about the people that were doing it to him anymore. What I really get mad about is the bullshit that went on even afterwards. Like, removing him from the credits from voicing Broly in the Super movie, among other roles he's done. That shit makes my blood boil. I can understand RT wanting to distance themselves. I can understand Monica being too sensitive. I can ultimately understand and accept a lot of bullshit. But trying to erase the man's legacy? THAT is lower than the depths of Hades, and more deplorable than anything he was accused of doing in my mind.
The best way I can explain the difference in feel from Monty to others animating fights is that there are moves that are done at physical human speeds, kicks and such, that are sometimes even visibly slower than a pro fighter could actually do that move, where Monty would have that move snap through its motion in a blur or even a single frame. Then there is less of a pause before the next move. The attacks per second is roughly the same, but how that time is split is different and it's more reaction, less prediction to counter it. Changes the feel of the fight.
Incidentally, there was a tournament fight that was planned, but was cut for time: In the doubles round, Pyrrha and Nora would have faced Sun and Neptune.
1:23:00 -- Regarding Qrow: Vic Mingnogna was cast as the voice of Qrow long before the allegations about him came forward. Once those allegations surfaced, Qrow was immediately recast and is voiced in later seasons by Jason Liebrecht, who does an amazing job on his own. I feel that it is important to differentiate between the character and the voice actor. Qrow is an amazing character, who happened to be voiced by the wrong person at first (a trend that seems to be all too common in video games and animation these days it seems), and I hope you are able to appreciate the character, despite the VA at this point in the story.
I will theorize that Blake can jump off or out of her copy in any direction she chooses upon activation. Momentum changes and g-force I don't think have much affect when aura is up.
What's up Beef! It's great to finally see volume 3 even with the small skipping of WoR. Your humbleness is awesome my friend and i'm excited to follow more. As someone who has to wait until episode 5 of volume 9 to then watch all of it with a friend. Being able to follow you will be how i stem my insanity for the next 4 weeks.
I feel it is worth saying. I admit that I'm not exactly a jurer or anything that has personal testimony on the fact. But I was under the impression Vic's allegations were dismissed/ruled lawfully in his favor? Not trying to say anything one way or the other about the allegations but I guess what I was saying is that you don't have to feel bad about appreciating a character he reprised? Like Qrow is awesome and whether or not his VA's allegations were true or not shouldn't change that he did excellent work as Qrow, no?
1:06:41 Actually, neither of them are lying. Altercation and fight are not necessarily the same thing. It's true that Winter attacked first, but the altercation was started by Qrow. Then again, if you count the destruction of the bot, then you could say that Drunkle Qrow attacked first.
The Vic case is very controversial and it’s unknown what is or isn’t true. I’ve read both sides of the story and their arguments. One side argues that Vic has been accused of multiple acts of sexual misconduct, while the other side claims that the only evidence they have is him hugging fans, when they never claimed to have had any problem with it until much later on, thereby making him misunderstand and think he was doing something completely fine. On one hand there are multiple claims against him, but on the other hand there isn’t any solid evidence of deliberate sexual misconduct, at least on purpose. This is why the case, at least to me, is so muddied and controversial. What also baffles me, is that to this day Vic appears to still be denying the claims against him, even after losing so much money trying but failing to appeal his case. It may very well have been sexual misconduct, but there is also a very high chance it wasn’t something he was even aware of. If he deliberately did those acts, I can understand, but if it was purely based on goodwill and he believed he was just being friendly, without any intent to harm or harass anyone, and nobody told him immediately to stop or they were uncomfortable (until later through public tweets), then I’m not sure how at fault the man might actually be. This case, in my eyes, is much more controversial than, say, Elliot Gindi, the VA of Tignari in Genshin Impact, that definitely has solid evidence of harassment towards minors, and who used his fame to take advantage of his fans. I can guarantee you if given the choice between these two, Gindi is definitely far worse, because he was proven to have malicious intent against even minors. Vic? If there is indeed evidence somewhere other than pictures of hugs and being friendly, and only the word of those involved, I haven’t found it yet. Keep in mind, this was also a time when the MeToo movement was very hot, and there has definitely been proven cases where people were falsely accused of sexual misconduct in those times later on down the road. But indeed, these episodes were made pre-allegations. It was near the end of Volume 6 I believe when they decided to fire him and change voice actors. And, at the end of the day, none of this will matter anymore as his name and reputation is now permanently damaged beyond repair. Even if he somehow does win his case in the end, nobody would care or even notice. Even the courts no longer seem to care to review it anymore.
to answer your question because idk if anyone else has, this is a good while before all the allegations and such with vic. they end up replacing his VA later on. not sure if all that ever got proven or disproven (granted i know with cases like that it's easier said than done) but regardless i think it's fine to still like the character. it's a good performance
I definitely messed up with the whole Vic part. Like there was the serious like ef the VA part, and then there was the opening joking part, which was the "Qrow has no rizz." He's not cool, ect. The character isn't the VA, and I kind of think it's funny when people in a community do a complete 180 on their opinion because they find out something controversial about the actor. I definitely didn't do a good enough job explaining where it was supposed to be funny like "ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhh Actually Qrow has no rizz, gets no bitches, ect" it's one of those things where people in my personal life would get it in an instant, but if you don't know me it comes off as much more serious than it was supposed to. The serious part was asking about the allegation and basically saying screw the guy for what happened. My apologies again for the lack of clarity, and thank you for taking the time to answer and comment.
@@beefreacts oh dont worry it was still funny lol, i figured it was a joke to some extent i just wasnt sure how fully. semi-related, funnily enough i know a lot of people who've worked with vic for conventions and they say he's kind of a dick regardless of the allegations so do with that what you will
I always assumed Blake using her Semblance pushes her away from the clone in whatever direction she wants. That, or it's just more Rule of Cool BS, in which case if it is, fair.
Winter is straight up one of the best characters in the entire show, same with Qrow. (i've always low key shipped them and whenever I rewatch v3 it comes to back to bite me again lol)
When it comes to Zodiac signs I'm actually one of the few that has 2 of them because my B-Day lands directly in between both. It might have already been mentioned however when it comes to Winter V Qrow I would have to say Winter was outputting probably around 70-80% of Her technique and power while fighting....however Qrow.....uh yea he was maaaaybe giving 40% as he hadn't even used the full capabilities of his weapon or skills (also he was drunk) when Winter was basically throwing nearly everything glyphs....summoned birds....revealing she can split her Rapier into a duel wield Rapier x Estoc combo.
You dont pick your semblance. You're born with it, and you dont know what it is until its unlocked at some point in your life. More info will be talk ed about this later on.
Semblance is either inherited or just something you discover. There is a definite connection between your semblance your personality, but which influences which is an open debate in universe.
Before the soundtrack was completed the Qrow Winter fight was temp animated to the guitar solo from Freebird. It's amazing, and readily someone swapped the audio and posted it on RUclips within hours of that revelation.
It's really hard to talk about due to trying not to spoil things, but when you finally learn the dynamics of the Schnee family, you will then understand why Winter is the way she is. Yes, Winter is cold, harsh, and near militaristic with Weiss, but there are reasons for it. That being said, never doubt Winter's love for Weiss - she loves her more than almost anything and wants nothing but the best for her, even if she sometimes goes about it the wrong way.
"I asked how you've been! Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Have you made any friends?" Aka... I don't care about your stupid schoolwork girl I want to make sure you're getting to be a fuckin' person now that you're out of that house.
@@undeathghost5627 the one thing I was trying to avoid saying is Winter is practically a mother figure for Weiss. Not saying they have a mother-child dynamic, but in a lot of ways Winter raised Weiss until Winter could no longer stomach living in that house. Even then, Winter remains Weiss' ideal and goal.
Note: the birds flying towards the sun is a tribute to Monty, thats his signature 💚
😭😭😭R.I.P. to the G.O.A.T.😭😭😭
Last I heard about this scene is that was among the last ones Monty himself animated, except for the aforementioned birds they added after his passing
Yep the sun formed the O in Monty and in Oum. The birds spelled out the other letters.
Ironwood: *exists*
Beef: And I took that personally.
I can’t wait to see his opinion swap on Ironwood 😅
@@Saeedscthen swap back lmao
Winter: you missed three strikes, weiss
Also Winter: **misses 9 strikes on a drunkie**
On the stone stands The engraved words "Summer Rose / Thus Kindly I Scatter" are from the poem The Last Rose of Summer by Irish poet Thomas Moore
Blake's shadows are solid enough to take a hit. When she creates them, they occupy the same space as her. Doing this ejects Blake in a direction of her choosing. If you rewatch the S1C8 fight again, watch carefully when Nora knocks Blake off the ruins. After swinging up to the Nevermore, you'll see that Blake isn't quite high enough to land on it so she creates a shadow mid-air to pop her up the rest of the way.
I've come to the conclusion that Jaune is the Hawkeye of RWBY, minus combat skill. He is the only avenger that doesn't have a special ability, godly power, mutation or magic... But he still is the first one willing to get in the fight.
Emerald with the "how can they be so happy all the time" is my rock. I quote this weekly ever since this came out
Edit: "I love how his sword changes shapes and sizes"
Me: PHRASING
The running gag is Glenda is pissed every time she has to become janitorial construction worker that's not in her job description
Vic voiced Qrow from Volume 3-6, after which the "kick Vic" campaign forced him out of the show. Jason Liebrecht voices the character staring in Volume 7, and does a pretty good job of taking over the character.
Please don't let your distaste for Vic color your opinion of Qrow - he's one of the most loved characters in RWBY!!
Weren't the accusations against him proven false?
"Nah, I was over on the bench" 🤣🤣
She hit him once, also Qrow was drunk and messing around, Winter was serious and actually trying to hit him.
This reminds me of when episode 3 first came out and people were doing "Winter's missing strike counts" for this fight in reference of how Winter was admonishing Weiss for missing thrice during her match. Specially with Qrow casually dodging at the begining.
Let’s not kid ourselves, Winter is one of the best fighters in the show. Certainly better than Qrow
@@Saeedscnot better than Qrow lmao, she’s good, probably stronger than Qrow now that certain things happened in vol 8, but before that Qrow definitely outclassed her. Which makes sense as he’s older, more experienced, and has been fighting (spoiler name) for a very long time, life and death battles against equals for most of his life at this point.
Some notes;
Semblances are like fingerprints, everyone is born with them and some are kinda similar, but they are unique to you. But you have to unlock/uncover your Semblance first.
And yes, some Semblances being extremly situational or useless is quite possible.
The scene at the beginning of Chapter 1 is also a memorial for Monty, with the shot of the sun and the birds also forming his signature.
Yes Qrow is kinda the fandoms "Daddy", so welcome to that 😝.
Also he is the one who taught Ruby how to use her Scythe.
Lastly, dont be to hard to Ironwood. After all, he has "no Heart". * totaly not trying to be cryptic here *
Ruby also said in Volume 1 that her scythe was based off of Qrow's.

@@Blacktoothoneil But the reactor hasn't gotten there yet.
Atlas at this stage of the game feels like a hi-tech, swaggering Wilhelmine Germany in the late 19th Century....arrogant, technologically advanced, willing to throw their weight around. Part of the international community but quietly despised by the other kingdoms.
You can see how much Winter does love Weiss... She asked how Weiss had been doing so far and Weiss started listing accomplishments... she smacks her down... i don't care about those... Have you been eating properly? Do you have hobbies? Are you making friends?... Essentially are you happy and healthy? She is extremely strict but you can see that her love for Weiss is still above that...
The strict nature also comes from Currently being in the Military which military's pretty much beat that into you quite literally there's nothing wrong with that however the "endearing" part of oneself changes in looks but not in Intention.
She is also a soldier who is currently in front of her men, even if most of them are robots. It’s her military persona talking.
The ammount of people who just get upset at the initial treatment and miss that single 1 line that truly conveys her actual thoughts is hilarious to me. Almost all of them realize their mistake in the next batch of episodes because there is a private scene where it becomes extremely clear what their bond is. That being said it just cracks me up every time.
And... at the end of the day the reality is that the writers were clearly trying to *present* her as cold and harsh off the bat. So at the end of the day they masterfull succeeded at their goal here. I just think it's awesome how perfectly they convey two sisterhoods that are both *completely different* and yet simultaneously *equally loving.* Different lifestyles make for different people!
29:40 "Eating before a meal is good."
IDK if you realized what you said, but either way it's definitely an idea I support.
Granted Jaune is not as good as the others. But the fact that he's even competing in this tournament already speaks volumes about how much he improved. He met the skill requirement.
But that's what makes him so great. Since he's not amazing like everyone else any accomplishment that he makes is pretty awesome. And the fact that he can hold his own and even contribute (you'll see how great he is in the later volumes) says a lot
well said!
At this point Jaune literally gets carried through everything. He's only there cause of team Cohesion and Pyra rounding out the party. His team follows the orders and the compensates if those orders are under par by making excellent ingenuity.
you'll see how great he is in the later volumes
Exactly this is the problem. Argueing that something is great because of knowledge you have that the other doesn´t yet have makes the arguement kinda invalid. Seriously back when these episodes aired Beefs opinion wasn´t rare. His opinion is perfectly valid and it is a fact that Jaune is getting carried at this point
@@JBasilix i agree the opinion is valid, though I actually like how slow his development is. A lot of characters go through one training arc on the road and then are suddenly on par with the greatest fighters of their generation, who have all spent years honing their skills. Here he went from not being able to take on anything, but having a decent mind for strategy (entrance exam), to taking on a Giant Bear Grimm with Pyrrha controlling his movements (forever falls), to being able to block at least one of Pyrrha’s training hits (right before the dance), to having him take on the same bear Grimm but on his own (Train breach). I like that his progress is so gradual, he might have a lot of aura but he’s not unreasonably OP, he’s still growing, and yeah to payoff will be great, but I appreciate the journey too.
@@BrittanyArtPoetry I do want to point out, Phyrra didn't control all his movements, she did reposition his shield arm, but the actual killing blow was all Juane. Pyrrha just gave him the chance to pull it off.
Mercury smelling the boot is not actually wierd. It's either good new leather has a smell or bad leather has a smell. Either way he is just checking the quality.
Both have a distinct smell, but those with experience can tell the difference
It could also be a reference to his allusion to the roman god Mercury, along with his emblem being a winged shoe
Mercury smelling the boot actually makes sense as High Quality leather has a distinct smell
Great reaction! I absolutely love the fight between Qrow and Winter. Without spoliers, yes you are born with a semblance. For many, like in Jaune’s case, it may not be unlocked for a while. You’ll find out more soon!
*nods* not everyone discovers their Semblance, and some that do, only discover it by accident. Roosterteeth has stated (I believe), that Torchwick has never discovered his Semblance.
@@TimBrazeau They originally had one planned for him, but then decided against it, reasoning that he isn't the kind of diligent person that would work on discovering his Semblance. So they used the one they had planned for him, and gave it to a different character instead. I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll just say the hint is "Mary had a little lamb".
@@omargoodman2999 interesting little factoid. I've only seen up to the first episode or 2 of Vol 7, your hint is unfortunately either someone I haven't seen yet (or just blanking on) 8P
@@TimBrazeauthe character he’s referencing is in vol. 7 I believe, they’re a minor character but still interesting. This is the first time I’ve heard of this and actually super curious how they would have incorporated that into Torchwick. I’ll give a quick explanation under a spoiler section of the semblance of you want.
Spoiler, it’s an invisibility semblance, that can expand to a few people around them. Basically an invisibility field.
@@BlacktoothoneilClose! (Spoilers below for Volume 7 and beyond)
There is someone with an invisibility force field semblance, but it's not the "Mary had a little lamb" character.
The "Mary" character's semblance is sort of like a bag of holding in her hand. She used it in combination with the invisibility semblance of another character in the truck scene
Yeah... how dare Jaune think about the safety of his team mates and ordering a retreat... XD
I mean to be fair I think what he's driving at is the conotations of how Jaune calls his retreat. Like strategically it wasn't a bad call but it does *feel* cowardly the way he says it.
"If I was one of your men, I'd shoot myself." You are literally the only streamer that caught my favorite Qrow line. Also, the bar that Qrow started in is a tease to the introduction of his character, being called the Crow Bar.
Ah yes volume 3 the volume everyone so fondly… remembers
You really chose a good time to start this series as the 9th volume just began.
Bruce Wayne has actually been doing that for years. The Wayne Foundation has donated millions to help combat poverty, rehabilitate criminals, repair Gotham's infrastructure and help the sick
Facts
Ruby: Scorpio - October 31
Weiss: Taurus - May 15
Blake: Capricorn on the Cusp of Aquarius - January 19
Yang: Leo - July 28
And yes, that does make Blake the oldest.
Considering Qrow's nickname for Yang they should have made her birthday July 4th.
@@EpimethiusPSN That's a very American centric comment you are making to an International audience.
Yang has the same sign as me?!?!
@@Jason_SingeThat was a joke. Also RWBY was created in America, so it is an American animation (I'm very glad that people around the world watch it!)
Ok so, in the order it came up:
- Blake's semblance clones have some substance and she use them as a foothold for movement.
- Something about the tournament fights has always irked me and you saying it made me realize what it was: the previous seasons were choreographed with a fluent general composition outlining them, while the tournament fights were sequences of individual events happening one after the other.
- About the limits of Glynda's repairwoman-skills ... let's just say they do exist.
- Winter was not winning:
- Keep in mind that Qrow was at least tipsy, potentially full-on drunk
- The only actual hits she got were a few grazes with the summoned "birds" which as we will learn is the highest form of her semblance (even if she did not go all-out as per choice of summon)
- At the beginning of the fight, he dodges about 8 of her strikes (also a callback to earlier, when Winter called out Weiss on "at least 3 missed strikes" in the tournament)
- This one is a bit more subtle, but a little bit into the fight, there's a moment where Winter uses a Glyph to get away from one of Qrow's strikes. He looks down at the glyph, realizes she will evade and only then decides to slash at the ground.
- After the summoning, she is visibly strained and steels herself for the next leg of the fight, while Qrow is standing there unbothered and with no signs of strain or exhaustion.
- There is one more tell for which the context is only given later, so I won't say more about it.
To make that clear, all this is NOT supposed to mean that he is leagues above Winter and casually playing with her. She is - at a minimum - in the same general range of skill as he is, so she could be potentially threatening to him and she didn't go all out either. But there is no doubt in my mind that at this point in time, Qrow would have won a serious fight.
- Impressive how enraptured you were with the conversation once Winter left. You understood how meaningful it was and just paid complete attention to it. Many reactors gloss over that scene and only take away that cracks in their alliance are forming and miss the actual content, so kudos to you.
As always fun to watch and looking forward to more.
So even tho Monty did pass away before he could see RWBY finished, he did write the entire main story arc in his journal that his friends and the writers of the show have and can continue his vision of the main story until the end.
I just realized. Qrow at the CrowBar. The name "CrowBar" is a _double pun._
Ironwood is an incredibly well written and compelling character, his character arc is amazing, and the best thing about him is his flaws and how they are handled.
All the insults you threw at him are right, he does suck, and that's a part what makes him so incredible, not quite as a person, but as a character.
I'm pretty sure I'll see you starting to like him in future reactions, and I'm curious how you'll feel about his development. Personally I really love the direction they took his character, but I've seen people complain about it too, it's a matter of opinion.
In defense of Bruce Wayne not hiring ex convicts, in the Injustice universe he does hire Harley Quinn, yes, THAT Harley Quinn, just saying.
I think it's totally fine to like a character that a morally... awful VA has voiced. I still love Qrow as a character, because his character was written by, well, the writers! He's not written by the VA.
It's the separation of the person from the character, which I totally understand that not everyone can do, nor everyone _wants_ to do either, and that's also totally fine!
Qrow does get recast, so that also helps :P
Qrow was actually the one in control of that entire fight. He provoked Winter by taunting her, he easily dodged all but one of her attacks (when she hit him in the face with the hilt of her sword), he was pursuing her throughout most of the fight - up onto the building, etc. He broke her summoning of the birds, and at the end he was finally about to show a new form of his weapon, but he saw Ironwood behind her and knew he could bait her into getting in trouble. Qrow absolutely would have won that fight if he hadn't put his weapon away and let Ironwood scold her for fighting.
Also, Qrow's voice actor is Vic Mignogna. (Edward Elric, Broly, and many other roles, as I'm sure you know).
Should we mention that he was absolutely plastered as well?
@@freedragoons Plastered, but also established to be a functional alcoholic, so yes. Also an important detail.
So, there's actually a very good reason for Neptune's fear of water. It's not explained in the show (at least, it hasn't been mentioned yet) but is addressed in one of the RWBY novels. Let me know if you're cool with getting that info dropped or want it to remain unspoiled.
I'm genuinely sorry to hear about your father, and that you recover well- he'd be proud
Blake changes momentum mid air by using the copy as a platform... Naruto does something similar with his clones...
Wow these uploads are amazingly consistent! Loving your reactions and the way you decypher all the lines and scenes. You're absolutely going to love this volume!!
Ok I hate Neptune as much as anyone XD but you do need to know that in one book it explains why he’s scared of water. His semblance is being able to control whatever water he touches (so op) but he almost drowned his brother so he is scared of doing that again
They also changed animation software several times throughout the series and interviews revealed that some of the software made normal movement smoother but made animating dynamic fights harder. I think that contributes to the sense of the fights being less a dance.
They changed it once. Wdym. From Poser to Maya.
21:12 "Girl pockets are the worst". Aside from the obvious joke being made here, there is also a deeper inside joke as well. The costumes designs in RWBY were made specifically with cosplayers in mind. They wanted to design the outfits so that cosplayer could wear them on the convention floor, with stuff like practical pockets.
The joke here is that Ruby's outfit doesn't have "girl pockets".
"Thus kindly I scatter," is a line from the Poem "The Last Rose of Summer" by Thomas Moore
9:30 - You CAN in fact scrub frame-by-frame on youtube! The comma/left-angle-bracket key goes back one frame, and the period/right-angle-bracket key goes forward one frame.
I see no reason why Blake could not 'springboard' off her own copies. :P
If you thought the first two volumes had you scatterbrained u have no clue what is coming it will break you in so many ways as it did and still does for many RWBY fans, also Qrow is straight up badass as a character and the controversy with the VA is irrelevant just focus on the character and their place is portrayed in the overall storyline love or hate the VA he put his heart and soul into making the character reality brought him to life from the pages of the script to screen and did so in a way that made so many of us love the character no true fan could honestly deny this
Blake's semblance is two things it's Shadow clones and propulsion she can launch herself in whatever direction she likes when she makes the Clown
Your mention of Torodora got me. To this date still one of my top 10 favorite anime rom coms.
Bro, if you keep up this pace, you might be able to catch up just in time for the Volume 9 finale (if not before). Volume 9 just premiered today and there are only 9 more episodes, so you should have no problem catching up.
Edit: Qrow was recast after the allegations came out. You won't hear a difference in voice actors until Volume 7.
I wish I could afford to get the premiere account for crunchy roll so to watch the first episode right now
@@renorasearcy7874 *cough* Gogoanime *cough*
Vic's removal from voice acting Qrow was premature and undeserved it was a great Travesty that should of been handled far better then it was. Instead they straight out fired him without even confirming if the allegations were even false (which they all were) however the damage was already done. Freak it wasn't even the same company the allegations were even apart of thats what makes that so messed up.
@@DragoonZell Even if he didn't do anything, companies don't like to associate themselves with controversy. Unless they're WB.

42:13 best joke ever. is the "CROW- BAR" ...and the logo is a crow-bar ...and because uncle crow...is at a bar...ok i'll just shut up
We love qrow here
Hey man as a convicted felon trying to find a job is rough and I messed up when I was 18 I did my time im almost off probation and im 23 now and places just don't want to hire me everywhere in my area needs employees and are short staffed I'm definitely behind the employ felons movement lmao
Which does suck.
I mean I dont know your past, but I will say some laws are absolutely idiotic, and can ruin someone’s life for no reason other than a politician wanting control.
Some laws should be broken and forgotten, or fought against.
Of course things like theft and murder and crimes just as bad should be punished with severity.
Jaune may not have a lot to show for except his strategies for NOW but he's my favorite character for GROWTH
And the semblance thing... that'll be explained in a future episode.
Some things about the characters are some things you'll learn through external media like books, comics, manga like Neptune's trauma on water, and a few others, etc. You'll only get like hints of it if you analysed the lyrics of the songs.
1:14:30 Bruce actually does have programs to help ex-convicts get back on their feet.
Remember, after season 3 of RWBY comes season 1 of RWBY Chibi.
Qrow is a fan favorite character, and for very good reason! I’m REALLY excited for you to react to this volume! Buckle up! Also, was that “I was sitting on the bench” line you said right before Oz showed up at the fight a John Mulaney reference? Winter is like half the age of Qrow and Ironwood, by the way
thank you for mentioning the large age gap, a big reason why i never liked her being shipped with qrow.
"Weiss is the best single fighter..."
...
Spoilers, I guess?
Weiss: Is meme´d to never have won a single one-on-one fight. Ever.
1:18:16 You already figured out Ozpin is the Wizard of Oz and they weren't really discrete about Glynda Goodwitch being Glinda the Good Witch of the North. Qrow is the scarecrow and Ironwood is the tin man.
Is Qrow the scarecrow? I would imagine Shade’s headmaster would be the scarecrow, considering each of the other headmasters are a character of the Wizard of Oz.
@@jjschubert6978 Theodore is basically Dorothy with the letters moved around.
I know its late to comment, but Qrow was definitely schooling Winter in that fight. He never even properly activated his weapon. Back in season 1 it was established that he's the one who taught Ruby how to use a scythe, which she copied form him.
Heya, been watching since your very first RWBY react video and have always really enjoyed how passionate and genuine you are. This episode was really impactful to me because of how open and vulnerable you were in regard to losing a loved one, which I'm very sorry to hear. I have been struggling with that the past few months and to hear I'm not alone. The content being great is one thing, but the way you connect with the stories told and your audience is inspiring. Keep up the amazing work, I can't wait for what's ahead for the channel!
IT BEGINS!
I’m always excited when new reactors make it to Volume 3, it was the first Volume of RWBY I watched live (found the show just after V2 ended), so it’s super nostalgic for me :))))
It's like DOTA. Blake's semblance is CRAZY powerful, but everyone has crazy powers, so it's balanced. Weiss's semblance can do all sorts of insane things, and you haven't even been introduced to its most powerful technique.
Winter may of attacked Qrow before Qrow attacked Winter, but Qrow did attack Winters robotic escorts first starting the altercation.
Is Jaune goofy, socially awkward, a bit oblivious, and a mediocre fighter? Sure. But when it comes to directing his team in battle, he does know what he's doing. And for all his other faults, that's an important strength he has. Ozpin clearly picked Jaune as leader for a reason, so if we're to assume Oz knows what he's doing, then we'd have to assume making Jaune leader was the right choice
i always find it kinda funny the Mercury is voiced by Sasukes VA i could be wrong but it sure as hell sounds like sasuke n i cant get it outta my head xD
If I’m remembering correctly, the voice actor changed at one point (I think it was Volume 4 or 5). He is voiced by Sauske’s voice actor now, but he wasn’t in Volumes 2 and 3
@@marieporter9488 yeah I think so
Hey! I'm a Scorpio, too!
Quick note: Mercury from here on is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. And just remember that characters are separate from their VAs. Vic may be a horrible person (I don't remember if that whole thing was proven or not), but his portrayal of Qrow was phenomenal, and he is one of the best characters in the show
All that stuff about Vic was proven false
@@xenowarrior282 I don't see that anywhere, source?
@@xenowarrior282as far as i can find it was never proven one way or the other, but i did find this: Mignogna unsuccessfully pursued legal cases against Funimation and other industry professionals in relation to the allegations and was ordered by a court to pay the defendants' legal fees; Mignogna lost three subsequent appeals.
Vic Mignona was framed.
This was established beyond doubt-they have video footage of the girls plotting to frame him.
But he still lost the case-and his job-because of #MeToo.
Vic was innocent of the charges, but was declared guilty in the court of public opinion. You don’t have to withdraw your admiration of Qrow, and in fact it would show greater character on your part of you didn’t withdraw though he were guilty-as it would show your ability to separate the man from his art. But he’s not guilty, so you don’t have to feel guilty for liking his portrayal.
Yes! Thank you, I find it so frustrating what happened to him.
The music during the SSSN fight was based off of Pirates of the Caribbean.
"You can't handle water...what...do you drink daily?" I'm looking forwards to a certain RWBY Chibi episode. lol
The bartender was voiced by a fan who won a contest to be a guest in the series.
Ironwood and Winter were never a couple. They are friends, though. She's been his second-in-command for a long time.
1:14:00 That's no different than the real world in the U.S., however. If you've ever talked with someone who has been in prison, for a marijuana charge, even, they'll tell you how difficult it is for them to find employment. It's even difficult for them to just rent someplace decent to live. Nobody wants to rent to, or give a job to, someone with any kind of mark on their record. No matter how far in the past it was, nor if their crime is something that is now legal in their state, people want nothing to do with them. Unfortunately, it makes starting out fresh, extremely difficult.
I hope you understand that Qrow is not his voice actor, he's his own person and character in the show so don't judge him because of what his VA has done.. I hope you understand ;-;
Only this volume left before you can react to "RWBY Chibi".
Nice way of putting it. :)
Qrow easily has some of the best lines in the series. He has all of Torchwick's charisma... But he's a good guy. Also helps that his VA, Vic Mignogna, is a fucking LEGEND.
This was pre-allegations. You'll be able to tell when the allegations came cuz they had to change his VA. He's now voiced by the guy that voiced the MC in the anime Darker Than Black.
Also, I feel the need to say, as I always do, that those allegations were utter fucking bullshit. You will not find a more wholesome and well mannered VA in the whole damn industry. My man Vic got done dirty as hell.
As pissed as I was, and still kinda am, at RT for letting him go, I understand that PR is important. Keeping him around during a time when allegations, as unproven as they are, were being flung left and right will arguably hurt you more than help you, regardless of how innocent the man ends up being. That said, the company has been burning down for years now, so arguably it wouldn't really have mattered in the first place.
In the end, shit like that is always messy and hard to work with for everyone involved. Unless your name is Monica Rial and you're a jealous, backstabbing bitch who started the whole thing because you can't take a harmless fucking joke.
Christ, I hate that woman. Good VA but God she's a trash person in my eyes now, and I hate it.

That shit makes my blood boil.
I can understand RT wanting to distance themselves. I can understand Monica being too sensitive. I can ultimately understand and accept a lot of bullshit.
But trying to erase the man's legacy?
THAT is lower than the depths of Hades, and more deplorable than anything he was accused of doing in my mind.
@@colt1903 agreed
"If I were one of your men, I'd shoot myself" is probably my favorite line in the whole show XD
28:03 She can also see past the fourth wall and knows the script. In fact, she actually heard you thank her for what she said.
The best way I can explain the difference in feel from Monty to others animating fights is that there are moves that are done at physical human speeds, kicks and such, that are sometimes even visibly slower than a pro fighter could actually do that move, where Monty would have that move snap through its motion in a blur or even a single frame. Then there is less of a pause before the next move. The attacks per second is roughly the same, but how that time is split is different and it's more reaction, less prediction to counter it. Changes the feel of the fight.
Incidentally, there was a tournament fight that was planned, but was cut for time: In the doubles round, Pyrrha and Nora would have faced Sun and Neptune.
Do you have a source on that? Sounds intriguing if they went more into detail about the fight.

1:23:00 -- Regarding Qrow: Vic Mingnogna was cast as the voice of Qrow long before the allegations about him came forward. Once those allegations surfaced, Qrow was immediately recast and is voiced in later seasons by Jason Liebrecht, who does an amazing job on his own. I feel that it is important to differentiate between the character and the voice actor. Qrow is an amazing character, who happened to be voiced by the wrong person at first (a trend that seems to be all too common in video games and animation these days it seems), and I hope you are able to appreciate the character, despite the VA at this point in the story.
I will theorize that Blake can jump off or out of her copy in any direction she chooses upon activation. Momentum changes and g-force I don't think have much affect when aura is up.
Can't wait to see your wall soon-adorned by rwby posters >:)
What's up Beef!
It's great to finally see volume 3 even with the small skipping of WoR.
Your humbleness is awesome my friend and i'm excited to follow more.
As someone who has to wait until episode 5 of volume 9 to then watch all of it with a friend. Being able to follow you will be how i stem my insanity for the next 4 weeks.
I feel it is worth saying. I admit that I'm not exactly a jurer or anything that has personal testimony on the fact. But I was under the impression Vic's allegations were dismissed/ruled lawfully in his favor?
Not trying to say anything one way or the other about the allegations but I guess what I was saying is that you don't have to feel bad about appreciating a character he reprised? Like Qrow is awesome and whether or not his VA's allegations were true or not shouldn't change that he did excellent work as Qrow, no?
1:06:41 Actually, neither of them are lying. Altercation and fight are not necessarily the same thing. It's true that Winter attacked first, but the altercation was started by Qrow. Then again, if you count the destruction of the bot, then you could say that Drunkle Qrow attacked first.
Qrow had a great introduction to the show.
The Vic case is very controversial and it’s unknown what is or isn’t true. I’ve read both sides of the story and their arguments. One side argues that Vic has been accused of multiple acts of sexual misconduct, while the other side claims that the only evidence they have is him hugging fans, when they never claimed to have had any problem with it until much later on, thereby making him misunderstand and think he was doing something completely fine.
On one hand there are multiple claims against him, but on the other hand there isn’t any solid evidence of deliberate sexual misconduct, at least on purpose.
This is why the case, at least to me, is so muddied and controversial. What also baffles me, is that to this day Vic appears to still be denying the claims against him, even after losing so much money trying but failing to appeal his case. It may very well have been sexual misconduct, but there is also a very high chance it wasn’t something he was even aware of. If he deliberately did those acts, I can understand, but if it was purely based on goodwill and he believed he was just being friendly, without any intent to harm or harass anyone, and nobody told him immediately to stop or they were uncomfortable (until later through public tweets), then I’m not sure how at fault the man might actually be. This case, in my eyes, is much more controversial than, say, Elliot Gindi, the VA of Tignari in Genshin Impact, that definitely has solid evidence of harassment towards minors, and who used his fame to take advantage of his fans. I can guarantee you if given the choice between these two, Gindi is definitely far worse, because he was proven to have malicious intent against even minors.
Vic? If there is indeed evidence somewhere other than pictures of hugs and being friendly, and only the word of those involved, I haven’t found it yet.
Keep in mind, this was also a time when the MeToo movement was very hot, and there has definitely been proven cases where people were falsely accused of sexual misconduct in those times later on down the road.
But indeed, these episodes were made pre-allegations. It was near the end of Volume 6 I believe when they decided to fire him and change voice actors.
And, at the end of the day, none of this will matter anymore as his name and reputation is now permanently damaged beyond repair. Even if he somehow does win his case in the end, nobody would care or even notice. Even the courts no longer seem to care to review it anymore.
13:45 "You stick with the pen-knife. You STICK-WITH-THE-PEN-KNIFE-SIR!"
to answer your question because idk if anyone else has, this is a good while before all the allegations and such with vic. they end up replacing his VA later on.
not sure if all that ever got proven or disproven (granted i know with cases like that it's easier said than done) but regardless i think it's fine to still like the character. it's a good performance
I definitely messed up with the whole Vic part. Like there was the serious like ef the VA part, and then there was the opening joking part, which was the "Qrow has no rizz." He's not cool, ect. The character isn't the VA, and I kind of think it's funny when people in a community do a complete 180 on their opinion because they find out something controversial about the actor. I definitely didn't do a good enough job explaining where it was supposed to be funny like "ahhhhhhhhh ahhhhhh Actually Qrow has no rizz, gets no bitches, ect" it's one of those things where people in my personal life would get it in an instant, but if you don't know me it comes off as much more serious than it was supposed to. The serious part was asking about the allegation and basically saying screw the guy for what happened.
My apologies again for the lack of clarity, and thank you for taking the time to answer and comment.
@@beefreacts oh dont worry it was still funny lol, i figured it was a joke to some extent i just wasnt sure how fully.
semi-related, funnily enough i know a lot of people who've worked with vic for conventions and they say he's kind of a dick regardless of the allegations so do with that what you will
I always assumed Blake using her Semblance pushes her away from the clone in whatever direction she wants. That, or it's just more Rule of Cool BS, in which case if it is, fair.
Yes, that's the show's conceptual art they are showing in the end credits.

V3 HYPE! #BeefisKing
Winter is straight up one of the best characters in the entire show, same with Qrow. (i've always low key shipped them and whenever I rewatch v3 it comes to back to bite me again lol)
When it comes to Zodiac signs I'm actually one of the few that has 2 of them because my B-Day lands directly in between both.
It might have already been mentioned however when it comes to Winter V Qrow I would have to say Winter was outputting probably around 70-80% of Her technique and power while fighting....however Qrow.....uh yea he was maaaaybe giving 40% as he hadn't even used the full capabilities of his weapon or skills (also he was drunk) when Winter was basically throwing nearly everything glyphs....summoned birds....revealing she can split her Rapier into a duel wield Rapier x Estoc combo.

You dont pick your semblance. You're born with it, and you dont know what it is until its unlocked at some point in your life. More info will be talk ed about this later on.
About the semblance, is explained later.
Qrow's voice actor changed after everything went down with Vic. He was replaced by Jason Liebrecht.
Still a shame Vic's career got hurt over some Amber Heard style BS.
Semblance is either inherited or just something you discover. There is a definite connection between your semblance your personality, but which influences which is an open debate in universe.
This volume will tear our hearts and souls be prepared.
I’ve got popcorn, so I’m ready!
you wanna know something that makes neptune's fear worse? *his semblance is hydrokinesis*
Before the soundtrack was completed the Qrow Winter fight was temp animated to the guitar solo from Freebird. It's amazing, and readily someone swapped the audio and posted it on RUclips within hours of that revelation.
1:23:20 - Rest assured, this was quite a while before Vic Mignogna's bullshit came to light; once it did, Rooster Teeth replaced him as Qrow's VA.
It's really hard to talk about due to trying not to spoil things, but when you finally learn the dynamics of the Schnee family, you will then understand why Winter is the way she is. Yes, Winter is cold, harsh, and near militaristic with Weiss, but there are reasons for it. That being said, never doubt Winter's love for Weiss - she loves her more than almost anything and wants nothing but the best for her, even if she sometimes goes about it the wrong way.
"I asked how you've been! Are you eating properly? Have you taken up any hobbies? Have you made any friends?"
Aka... I don't care about your stupid schoolwork girl I want to make sure you're getting to be a fuckin' person now that you're out of that house.
@@undeathghost5627 the one thing I was trying to avoid saying is Winter is practically a mother figure for Weiss. Not saying they have a mother-child dynamic, but in a lot of ways Winter raised Weiss until Winter could no longer stomach living in that house. Even then, Winter remains Weiss' ideal and goal.
I always like putting rice with Ramen noodles. It does get me full that way too.
1:02:45 We call him DRUNKle Qrow.
