I'm pretty sure that was the original idea that Monty had in mind, but never expanded upon it nor had an exact idea of what he wanted it to be before he died. When Miles and Kerry had to take over, they probably made their own assumption and assumed that Silver Eyes meant that someone had the ability to instantly destroy any Grimm that would be affected by it.
Christoper Putt and Rubes just starts bawling, it’s almost sad. Almost. If this had happened in vol 3 or something I’d cry along maybe, but now I’m giggling.
It’s kind of sad how the silver ness in Ruby’s eyes have lost. In the beginning it was like a shining silver and then as the show progressed on her silver eyes started to get darker. It didn’t even seem like she has silver eyes. It looked like she has grey eyes instead of silver..
i think its just the more defined shadow from the top eyelid as they got better animation for the show if you look at the most recent clip you see the bottom of the eye still looks very much silver
It might be a representation of how much death and destruction she has witnessed not of cities, but of the people she cares about. Like how would you feel when you see two of your friends died on the same day as losing the place you considered home? But she still has the light of hope in her eyes, hope that tomorrow is better than today.
It's also possible her eyes could work like the Sharingan in Naruto where overuse can remove the light from their eyes and eventually blind them. It would be a good way to add depth and not make Ruby's eyes such a convenient plot device to use when the story makers back themselves into a corner.
Mine, if I were there fighting alongside her, would be a HUGE grin and "HELL, yeah..." followed by me telling the villains, "Ohh, man, you fools better start runnin'..."

Wait until volume 7 because there is a rumor that in volume 7 we will be getting some flashbacks of team STRQ and there was a picture of summer when she was like ruby(she is small just like ruby). I hope it's true
Is almost like she had the same body with different haircut. Ok sorry it actually happens with me and my mom on a similar level but at least they could have changes the shoes to make me forget they can do that.
yes, but the little Ruby was able to do was almost able to give Jaune the opportunity to take Cinder's head off. If she didnt get knocked out Jaune would've stabbed her in the face.
"Remember, Ruby, we are destined warriors not because our eyes can kill Grimm... but because their light is born from the desire to protect the lives of those around us, friend, family, and civilian." That sounds like something Summer would say if she was alive.

I wonder if Ruby can be considered to be a daughter of light, just as Salem could be considered a daughter of dark. The god of darkness seemed to be quite happy because of Salem's actions. Getting to punish both her and human race seemed to be fun for him and he appeared happy that Salem was so filled with selfishness, hate, and spite. Her ability to create suffering and destruction definitely plays right into the dark brother's idea for the world. Meanwhile, I'm pretty sure the god of light would appreciate someone like Ruby, someone who can see the beauty in the world and understand why life is so precious, but also how death is part of what makes life meaningful and how it must be accepted. I think the brothers made Salem immortal for different reasons. Light was hoping Salem would learn from her curse and become a better person in order to finally earn her final rest. Dark was hoping that Salem would be tortured by her curse to the point of madness and become yet another monster to plague the world. Neither brother probably thought she would go so far as to attempt to usurp them, but her actions shocked and disgusted Light while surprising Dark and exceeding his every expectation.
Honestly the conversation between Ruby and Maria is probably my favorite scene in the entire series. Especially with the Red Like Roses motif playing in the background.
9:28 The god of light takes the form of an eastern dragon representing wisdom, understanding, and knowledge and are associated in many myths with the elements of light and water. The god of darkness takes the form of a western dragon representing brute force, greed and evil and is often associated with the fire element, they are seen as monsters or obstacles to be overcome. Both dragons represent power just in different ways. Just thought I'd put that out there.

They are, instead, banishment of what make up the Grimm’s entire beings: Negativity. But whether or not the light of the silver eyes can banish the Grimm depends on the mental state of the user, and the size of the Grimm, as a larger Grimm is bound to have fed off more negativity than smaller variants.
Silver eyes are literally the rarest eye color. I’ve always wanted either that color or different colored eyes. I always thought those were the best (I’ve got nothing against other eye colors)
Boxes I think it’s the second rarest I can’t really remember but I read it from somewhere that both purple and silver were the two of the rarest eye colors.
The scene where Ruby is thinking about all the good times after she summons djinn always makes me tear up for some reason, maybe it's because the way the music begins building up, maybe it's because those scenes are just so adorable. I don't know, all I know is that no matter what, even if I know it's coming, that scene always makes me tear up.
It's silly but, seeing CInder turn and just yell "WHAT ?!" before being possibily obliterated...made me laugh the first time. It's just...she was such a monster at this point of the serie, being the only mastermind we known of, not having lost a single full fight before this point, executing her whole plan almost flawlessly as long as she involved herself...She was extremely intimidating and honestly hateable after what she just did. So yeah seeing such a character just go "WHAT ?!" with a shocked expression before getting owned, was too perfect to not laugh.
Me, too. Like mother, like daughter, right? I wish they can make a episode is how or when Summer Rose died. Did she die in a battle or was she targeted because of her eyes, like Maria Calavera AKA The Grimm Reaper? No one knows, right? 😔
@@bettinamitchell3535 spoliers so dont read if you dont want In season 7 qrow mentioned summer went on a mysterious mission, where she have been slained
Me watching first season: Silver eyes. Cool. Me seeing Ruby grow wings from her eyes: *Rubs eyes* MOM! I AM SEEING HALLUCINATIONS!!! RUBY HAS FEATHERS. GROWING FROM HER EYES!
Something that resonated with me was that the song sung here when ruby steps up and shows the culmination of her time with her friends and team giving her the strength to awaken the power within her eyes...is the song written to honor Monty Oum and the dream he had that created RWBY. He created this world and is responsible for the flame of hope that fuels Ruby's power.
Why does the light coming from her eyes look like wings the first time she uses the silver-eyed warrior power and every time after, it just looks like a dispersed beam of light? Also, why don't all the silver-eyed warriors (if they know about the power) wear a blindfold/sunglasses/use color contacts to hide them? Then again, there probably aren't many of them, and they probably don't know that they're being hunted or even that they have magical eye powers.
Couldn't tell you about the wings, but the reason I thin they don't wear blindfolds most of the time is that they've established in the show that the silver eyes only trigger around Grymm and Grymm infested humans. IE Cinder. But if they were being hunted I'm guessing they would want to hide them. My fan theory is that Salem knows that the silver eyes are a threat to her, so she sent her minions to eliminate the wielders, IE Tock and Maria. Just a theory of mine.
Also, for the wings thing, it might just be limitations of the software they used for seasons 1-3. They switched softwares after that, so that's why the light looks like light and not just... wings
And I think the contacts or blindfold thing are because the silver eyes look like gray eyes so someone wouldn’t be able to tell if they were gray or silver unless they know the color really well like the reaper had to ask Ruby what color her eyes were when she probably could’ve seen what color they were or the head master had to ask before he took a closer look
It's possible that the light came out as wings that time bc her eyes were closed and she was crying, the light might literally have came out the sides like tears. (Made myself sad)
I think, because that silver eyed people are meant to lead the life of a warrior, then the god of light gifted those who *could* defeat Salem the silver eyes. But to achieve this power they had to survive the unthinkable and prove they were worthy of the eyes and the power
Silver eyes have a clear connection with light, as affirmed in the latest volume. The light brother had the same eyes, and the same animation as when Ruby last activated her silver eyes. So far, there has always been a force of darkness present when they've been activated. Cinder, for instance, had a grimm arm when Ruby used her silver eyes on her again. Also, Salem stated that Cinder was more affected by the silver eyes because she had become a spring maiden. Why? The dark brother said that magic was his gift to humanity. It stands to reason then, if magic is associated with darkness, then those that possess it are more susceptible to the power of light/silver eyes. What do you think? EDIT: oh yeah, not to mention it's triggered in connection with the intention of preserving life - just how the light brother was associated with life, and dwelt by the pool of life which granted immortality. Which is inherently opposed to the power of destruction (associated with the dark brother).
Dude, I'm so happy I'm not the only one that thinks this! "My gift to them" was more than just a passing comment. It's the perfect little nod back to Salem telling Cinder she's vulnerable now that she's a maiden, and now we know the maidens are wielding the same magic that was taken away from humanity v1.0. It makes perfect sense that anything powered by the dark brother could be equally opposed or even obliterated by the powers of the light brother, including the concept of magic.
@@rajeswary6085 no she didn't, watch the chapters again, she killed the fake spring maiden. vernal, while the real spring maiden, Raven, beat her and got away safely.
3:38 Think about the people who love you, focus on the thought of them, the way they make you feel 3:50 First person she thinks of is wiess Do with that as you will
The first people she thinks of is Taiyang and Yang. Then her team. And when she finally focus, after remembering the suffering of Jaune, the wounds of Blake and Yang, the depression of Yang and finally the death of Pyrrha and Peny, the first thing she thinks about is her team, then the time Weiss finally started accepting her as the leader of team RWBY (kinda important for her, but not from the shipping point of view), Blake behaving more carefree and Yang being Yang. I know people like their ships and all that, but at least try to not twist facts to make them work. If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't then it doesn't, frankly at this point I don't care, but *don't* twist facts. And if you meant when she thinks of the members of her team individually... do you realize that she thinks of them in order of the team name, Weiss, Blake and Yang, WBY. Because, even if we were to accept the shipping of Whiterose in that scene, if you really think that Ruby loves Blake more than Yang... well, then I have a bridge in the desert you may be interested in buying.
I like how Ruby having silver eyes also kinda works into her Little Red Riding Hood allusion bc like, one of the types of Grimm she has faced the most are Beowolves, which are basically werewolves, and what is used to kill werewolves? *_silver_* _(i dunno if this was rly obvious to everyone else and im just slow but yeahhh )_
PalPlays 1.silver eyed. 2. REACT to attacks almost before they happened. 3. desire to protect friends/family/life itself. (4. Every time that they used their eyes they were outmatched by an overwhelming opponent, even though it is not stated as a requirement, it might as well be one) I wonder who this ability reminds me of?
Honestly I keep thinking that Ruby and all of the people with Silver Eyes are sort of like the rwby versions of sharingan, byakugan, and rinnegan users in having strange ocular abilities, strange in a certain point of view, such as turning enemies into ashes such as Grimm through the silver eyes and through the Amaterasu with the Sharingan/mangekyo/eternal mangekyo sharingan
Monty already confirmed that Summer Rose is deceased. Sorry to rain on your parade but it’s the truth. But I’m quite disappointed myself. Summer (And Raven) are my favorite characters. And now we finally have the glimpse of Summer Rose; the glimpse that I have been waiting for a long long long long time.
Bro i remember when i went to see the sixth season premiere in the movies and i was so happy to meet other fans since there werent any in my school. i also remember when life was live.
Ooh Granny Reaper was smart. "perhaps there was something you weren't seeing." That is true, because of the bug grim Cinder had fused with after taking half the maiden powers, she was part grim and as such, she was affected by the light.
Very few moments of this series make me shed a tear... The battle with the Nevermore for some reason, the moment where Ruby shouts "leave her alone!" at another Nevermore, and finally the moment where Ruby sees her mom and those eyes burst out.
Remember : Light only exists in darkness. Note this: You don't need light to know it's dark. Light can't consume darkness. But accompany it. No darkness, no light. No light, darkness to no end.
@@mariesmosh1334 except the silver eyes doesnt work on all magic. If it did it vould activate anywhere with something as a little dust present. The show says it only works on grimm and will activate only if theres grimm around. It worked on cinder because her hand is made of grimm.
@@cosmicgenesis1581 Actually, not quite. At the Fall of Beacon, Cinder's hand and arm was still her own hand and arm. She just had a Grimm implant gifted from Salem that allowed her to steal the maidens' powers. It wasn't until Ruby "laser--beamed" Cinder's arm into oblivion that Salem replaced her arm with a Grimm arm.
@@ajvlogs957 uh, no. Ruby isn't fighting Cinder while in a "first time silver eye use" coma, not to mention Salem literally says that Cinder is vulnerable to the silver eyes. Not to mention Cinder wouldn't freak out every single time Ruby attempts to use the silver eyes if it didn't nearly destroy her atop Beacon Tower. Further, it states on Cinder's page in the RWBY wiki that "When Beacon fell, Ruby Rose unleashed the power of her Silver Eyes, putting Cinder into a state of near death." You're just plain wrong.
I'm still overthinking the fact we never got a conclusive answer to who sent Tock. It was probably Salem, I know buuut... there's something so enticing about the theory that Ozpin was so afraid of the maidens being taken down by silver eyes (god of darkness=magic=the maiden powers... makes sense that's why Cinder kept being affected and why Salem warned her that her new abilities came with that crippling weakness to silver eyes) that he himself set out to erradicate the bloodlines before they could kill his maidens. In the present he's reformed, but damn if we find out he killed Summer...
im sorry its my 20th time rewatching that crow talking to ruby about her eyes scene, and it has the same vibes as when harry found out he was a wizard.
Before it took the death of someone to get it to activate. But now all she needs to do is think of her friends. I would call this progress but I can’t help the fact that she didn’t really do any real training just a small talk and then she just automatically learned how to do it. I can’t deal with that
From the explanation given by maria, it's not something you activate. My understanding is that when the silver-eyed warrior feels extremely protective, the light instinctively comes out to delete the Grimm, in the same way that the Grimm (when not explicitly controlled by Salem) instinctively want to destroy life. It's not really Ruby doing anything; she's just releasing the God of Light's light from within her when feeling protective against Grimm.

Elizabeth Taylor had violet eye color and she was not an albino. It is a very rare eye color.
Rare eye color trait in reality tend to associate with rare disease or the lost pigments in eyes. You sure you want it?
The scene where Ruby is thinking about all the good times after she summons djinn always makes me tear up for some reason, maybe it's because the way the music begins building up, maybe it's because those scenes are just so adorable. I don't know, all I know is that no matter what, even if I know it's coming, that scene always makes me tear up.
Is it just me or is Ruby one of the palest girls ever?
looks like she overdid her sunscreen
Okay so i wasn't the only one wondering about that but it seems that in the later seasons she gets some color in her skin by the vid
Her skin was extremely pale in Season 1
She now has a skin around Season 4 and counting
Someone hasn't looked at Weiss in awhile.
That's how I look lol
OMG LIKE SAME!!! I was just like wait..... she’s a lot paler than her mom.... like in the cutscene where they showed summer rose
It's silly but, seeing CInder turn and just yell "WHAT ?!" before being possibily obliterated...made me laugh the first time.
It's just...she was such a monster at this point of the serie, being the only mastermind we known of, not having lost a single full fight before this point, executing her whole plan almost flawlessly as long as she involved herself...She was extremely intimidating and honestly hateable after what she just did.
So yeah seeing such a character just go "WHAT ?!" with a shocked expression before getting owned, was too perfect to not laugh.
I was so glad I got to see what Summer Rose looks like, she looks just like Ruby
Ditto
Summer Rose wait aren’t u dead?
Edit: oh, you’re Raven now
Me, too.
Like mother, like daughter, right?
I wish they can make a episode is how or when Summer Rose died.
Did she die in a battle or was she targeted because of her eyes, like Maria Calavera AKA The Grimm Reaper?
No one knows, right? 😔
Bettina Mitchell yeah, I guess, I rlly want to know how she died, not like I want her dead or something
@@bettinamitchell3535 spoliers so dont read if you dont want
In season 7 qrow mentioned summer went on a mysterious mission, where she have been slained
Can't believe the video cut at literally one of the most epic build ups of the entire series lmao
Me watching first season:
Silver eyes. Cool.
Me seeing Ruby grow wings from her eyes:
*Rubs eyes* MOM! I AM SEEING HALLUCINATIONS!!! RUBY HAS FEATHERS. GROWING FROM HER EYES!
12:28 most beautiful moment ever
... of all time
Yeah
Cringe overload
When I saw her at first in that scene I was like “please, face reveal” then when she turned around I was like “YES, FINALLY, I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!”
It’s amazing
“Ruby, what color are your eyes?”
“They’re... silver...”
that moment when u realize this whole time Ruby had the same eyes as a god
Something that resonated with me was that the song sung here when ruby steps up and shows the culmination of her time with her friends and team giving her the strength to awaken the power within her eyes...is the song written to honor Monty Oum and the dream he had that created RWBY. He created this world and is responsible for the flame of hope that fuels Ruby's power.
Why does the light coming from her eyes look like wings the first time she uses the silver-eyed warrior power and every time after, it just looks like a dispersed beam of light?
Also, why don't all the silver-eyed warriors (if they know about the power) wear a blindfold/sunglasses/use color contacts to hide them? Then again, there probably aren't many of them, and they probably don't know that they're being hunted or even that they have magical eye powers.
Couldn't tell you about the wings, but the reason I thin they don't wear blindfolds most of the time is that they've established in the show that the silver eyes only trigger around Grymm and Grymm infested humans. IE Cinder. But if they were being hunted I'm guessing they would want to hide them. My fan theory is that Salem knows that the silver eyes are a threat to her, so she sent her minions to eliminate the wielders, IE Tock and Maria. Just a theory of mine.
Also, for the wings thing, it might just be limitations of the software they used for seasons 1-3. They switched softwares after that, so that's why the light looks like light and not just... wings
@@listener1215 I personally liked the wings look of it...😶
And I think the contacts or blindfold thing are because the silver eyes look like gray eyes so someone wouldn’t be able to tell if they were gray or silver unless they know the color really well like the reaper had to ask Ruby what color her eyes were when she probably could’ve seen what color they were or the head master had to ask before he took a closer look
It's possible that the light came out as wings that time bc her eyes were closed and she was crying, the light might literally have came out the sides like tears. (Made myself sad)
Before I thought the Silver Eyes were just the RWBY Version of Ultra Instinct
No one:
Blake:
Weiss:
Yang:
Cinder: WhAt?!
Pyrrha: dies
You can hear red like roses in the background. Its a beautiful way of telling you this is important. While Ruby talks with Maria
I think, because that silver eyed people are meant to lead the life of a warrior, then the god of light gifted those who *could* defeat Salem the silver eyes. But to achieve this power they had to survive the unthinkable and prove they were worthy of the eyes and the power
Silver eyes have a clear connection with light, as affirmed in the latest volume. The light brother had the same eyes, and the same animation as when Ruby last activated her silver eyes. So far, there has always been a force of darkness present when they've been activated. Cinder, for instance, had a grimm arm when Ruby used her silver eyes on her again. Also, Salem stated that Cinder was more affected by the silver eyes because she had become a spring maiden. Why? The dark brother said that magic was his gift to humanity. It stands to reason then, if magic is associated with darkness, then those that possess it are more susceptible to the power of light/silver eyes. What do you think?
EDIT: oh yeah, not to mention it's triggered in connection with the intention of preserving life - just how the light brother was associated with life, and dwelt by the pool of life which granted immortality. Which is inherently opposed to the power of destruction (associated with the dark brother).
Dude, I'm so happy I'm not the only one that thinks this! "My gift to them" was more than just a passing comment. It's the perfect little nod back to Salem telling Cinder she's vulnerable now that she's a maiden, and now we know the maidens are wielding the same magic that was taken away from humanity v1.0. It makes perfect sense that anything powered by the dark brother could be equally opposed or even obliterated by the powers of the light brother, including the concept of magic.
Finally, someone who thinks that! Nobody else I've talked to seems to agree!
Cinder is the fall maiden, not the spring maiden
@@kritikill7779But she stole Spring Maiden powers.
@@rajeswary6085 no she didn't, watch the chapters again, she killed the fake spring maiden. vernal, while the real spring maiden, Raven, beat her and got away safely.
3:38
Think about the people who love you, focus on the thought of them, the way they make you feel
3:50
First person she thinks of is wiess
Do with that as you will
Weiss was the first person she wanted to befriend at beacon...
@@kurtlim7 and wiess is the one ruby has been head over heels obsessed with
Cough cough, I SHIP ITTTTT
The first people she thinks of is Taiyang and Yang. Then her team. And when she finally focus, after remembering the suffering of Jaune, the wounds of Blake and Yang, the depression of Yang and finally the death of Pyrrha and Peny, the first thing she thinks about is her team, then the time Weiss finally started accepting her as the leader of team RWBY (kinda important for her, but not from the shipping point of view), Blake behaving more carefree and Yang being Yang.
I know people like their ships and all that, but at least try to not twist facts to make them work. If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't then it doesn't, frankly at this point I don't care, but *don't* twist facts.
And if you meant when she thinks of the members of her team individually... do you realize that she thinks of them in order of the team name, Weiss, Blake and Yang, WBY. Because, even if we were to accept the shipping of Whiterose in that scene, if you really think that Ruby loves Blake more than Yang... well, then I have a bridge in the desert you may be interested in buying.
@@lenlimbo I think they were talking about the scene in the basement with the apathy when Maria asks what colour Rubys eyes were
seeing the first clip brought me back to when i was a kid watching it for the first time cuz i havent seen that episode in years
Silver eyes= God eyes.
Silver Eyes = Nuke in your head
Silver Eyes = Ultra Instinct
Sliver eyes= nuke
Yellow/gold eyes= this is MY game, MY system(sao reference)
“Aaaand that’s how you become the Grimm Reaper” So Maria has decided. Ruby is the next Grimm Reaper, just younger.
Ruby is precious and should be protected at all cost
I don’t cry much over movies or TV shows, but that one shot of Summer made me tear up the first time I saw it.
I like how Ruby having silver eyes also kinda works into her Little Red Riding Hood allusion bc like, one of the types of Grimm she has faced the most are Beowolves, which are basically werewolves, and what is used to kill werewolves? *_silver_*
_(i dunno if this was rly obvious to everyone else and im just slow but yeahhh
)_
The Grimm Reaper's semblance is reflexes and she had silver eyes. NOW THAT SEEMS FAMILIAR!
Are you referencing Claymore?
@@theDabKing1 Ultra Instinct?
PalPlays 1.silver eyed. 2. REACT to attacks almost before they happened. 3. desire to protect friends/family/life itself. (4. Every time that they used their eyes they were outmatched by an overwhelming opponent, even though it is not stated as a requirement, it might as well be one)
I wonder who this ability reminds me of?
Ga ga ga ga gachidaze
Preflexes she can sense something’s gonna happen before it happens like spider-man’s spider sense
Honestly I keep thinking that Ruby and all of the people with Silver Eyes are sort of like the rwby versions of sharingan, byakugan, and rinnegan users in having strange ocular abilities, strange in a certain point of view, such as turning enemies into ashes such as Grimm through the silver eyes and through the Amaterasu with the Sharingan/mangekyo/eternal mangekyo sharingan
Ozpin: “You have silver eyes”
Me: well that will come in a few volumes
*Ruby uses eyes on cinder*
Me: I knew it
Monty already confirmed that Summer Rose is deceased. Sorry to rain on your parade but it’s the truth. But I’m quite disappointed myself. Summer (And Raven) are my favorite characters. And now we finally have the glimpse of Summer Rose; the glimpse that I have been waiting for a long long long long time.
How can summer be your favorite character when you know literally nothing of her ? xD
Dude, It’s none of your business. This argument is now adjourned.
@@EdgyBirdMom Translation: "It's my headcanon waifu".
That tombstone made you fall in love with summer?
Sometimes character design is enough to make it into ppls favorites.
Ive watched this a few times and the show twice but even still that one at the end with the music still gave me shivvers of joy.
Why do I feel like Ruby silver eyes power is a Medusa power than just the silver eyes itself??
THERES A LIIIGHT THAAAT SHIIIIIIINES
AND ITS POOOOWER IIIIIS MIIIIIINE
THOUGH OUR BODY’S WEAK AND BREAKABLE
THE SPIRIT IS INDOMITABLEEEEEEEEEE
8:09
So...
Clasps hands together*
How do I laser beam monsters with my eyeballs?
*Tfw you experience a significant emotional event.*
I like ruby rose because she has the soul of a hero and heart of a wolf.
The melody from Red Like Roses playing throughout this is such a subtle touch
Bro i remember when i went to see the sixth season premiere in the movies and i was so happy to meet other fans since there werent any in my school. i also remember when life was live.
Ooh Granny Reaper was smart. "perhaps there was something you weren't seeing."
That is true, because of the bug grim Cinder had fused with after taking half the maiden powers, she was part grim and as such, she was affected by the light.
-I am evil. Now eat my cookies and become fat. So I can steal ya eyes without resistance
Damn 😂
"So how do I lazerbeam monsters with my eyeballs"
Oh typical ruby
Monty Oum would be so proud of how great the show had become! I just missed him so much.. I was just a recent fan of RWBY. And it hurts! :
Nah the series is not how it was. Always we fell like something is missing after Monty died.
thanos kitsos oh :
@@minnieirl_ The show's still good. It's just, you know, Monty was Monty. it'll never be the same.
Very few moments of this series make me shed a tear... The battle with the Nevermore for some reason, the moment where Ruby shouts "leave her alone!" at another Nevermore, and finally the moment where Ruby sees her mom and those eyes burst out.
I love how Ruby is literally sitting at Maria's feet....
I feel like in dark places for a nice touch the animators should make her eyes glow (since silver reflects)
"Were you paying attention?"
No cus i was reading comments
god the scene in the end always makes me tear up a little, the music and the pictures just everything about it
The scene with Pyrrha when ruby first used her powers it will ALWAYS give me goosebumps
CHIIIIIIILLS!! I always get chills from this.
Remember : Light only exists in darkness.
Note this: You don't need light to know it's dark.
Light can't consume darkness. But accompany it.
No darkness, no light.
No light, darkness to no end.
The music when Ruby uses the Silver Eyes with the huge Grimm reminded me of the Force theme. Part of it though.
Well it makes sense her eyes worked on Cinder. After all, magic- the powers of the maidens- came from the god of darkness originally.
Oh shit, you're right
@@mariesmosh1334 except the silver eyes doesnt work on all magic. If it did it vould activate anywhere with something as a little dust present. The show says it only works on grimm and will activate only if theres grimm around. It worked on cinder because her hand is made of grimm.
@@cosmicgenesis1581 Actually, not quite. At the Fall of Beacon, Cinder's hand and arm was still her own hand and arm. She just had a Grimm implant gifted from Salem that allowed her to steal the maidens' powers. It wasn't until Ruby "laser--beamed" Cinder's arm into oblivion that Salem replaced her arm with a Grimm arm.
@@jdoggivjc At the fall of beacon, it wasn't Ruby's silver eyes that hurt Cinder, they (presumably) fought afterwards and ruby beat her
@@ajvlogs957 uh, no. Ruby isn't fighting Cinder while in a "first time silver eye use" coma, not to mention Salem literally says that Cinder is vulnerable to the silver eyes. Not to mention Cinder wouldn't freak out every single time Ruby attempts to use the silver eyes if it didn't nearly destroy her atop Beacon Tower. Further, it states on Cinder's page in the RWBY wiki that "When Beacon fell, Ruby Rose unleashed the power of her Silver Eyes, putting Cinder into a state of near death." You're just plain wrong.
Brilliant montage! The final scene with Ruby's mom in a flashback has made me cry!
1:47 BORN with silver eyes? EVERYONE is born with silver eyes. STAYING silver is a different story entirely.
i can just imagine having an inside out reference n rwby right when rwby is using her silver eyes
I'm still overthinking the fact we never got a conclusive answer to who sent Tock. It was probably Salem, I know buuut... there's something so enticing about the theory that Ozpin was so afraid of the maidens being taken down by silver eyes (god of darkness=magic=the maiden powers... makes sense that's why Cinder kept being affected and why Salem warned her that her new abilities came with that crippling weakness to silver eyes) that he himself set out to erradicate the bloodlines before they could kill his maidens. In the present he's reformed, but damn if we find out he killed Summer...
"Think about the people who love you. About how life is beautiful."
_[Ruby's focus turns to Weiss]_
im sorry its my 20th time rewatching that crow talking to ruby about her eyes scene, and it has the same vibes as when harry found out he was a wizard.
Ruby's eyes are just incinerating flashbangs
So napalms? Which also turns stuff to stone?
Imagine having flash bangs instead of eyes.....literally blind
We have the same thinking brother
Before it took the death of someone to get it to activate. But now all she needs to do is think of her friends. I would call this progress but I can’t help the fact that she didn’t really do any real training just a small talk and then she just automatically learned how to do it. I can’t deal with that
From the explanation given by maria, it's not something you activate. My understanding is that when the silver-eyed warrior feels extremely protective, the light instinctively comes out to delete the Grimm, in the same way that the Grimm (when not explicitly controlled by Salem) instinctively want to destroy life.
It's not really Ruby doing anything; she's just releasing the God of Light's light from within her when feeling protective against Grimm.
God, the silver eyes in volume 6 with Indomitable in the background somehow manages to bring a tear to my eye every time.
I want those eyes
Get contacts lol
The Power of Sees *The Future and Light of Destruction*
Ruby be all like: "HEAT BEAM EYE BLAST"
The part with summer still brings me to tears. The score is just so beautiful and the lead up to it is amazing!
I love RWBY! It’s an amazing show
Ikr, I'm glad my friend showed me it
I absolutely love how far the animation team has come
"Silver is for monsters"
Damn she'd make an excellent Witcher
Unfortunately she'd lose her innocence and become all serious and maybe emotionless
I just loved the main character evolution of this season. One of the best for me
