The balance of Velvet's weapon is that it can only use a photograph to make a weapon once; necessitating her to both take pictures constantly, and also be a really good hand to hand fighter.
Seems it might be that Velvets weapons have a VERY short lifespan as well. Like maybe as short as 20 or 30 seconds each. So thats why she has to "Build up" so many in order to be effective. Head Cannon on my part.
Her semblance is like Taskmaster from Marvel, she can copy the moves from others. So that is how she uses so well the copies from her weapon.
Her weapon also uses up Hard Light Dust for each copy, which is pretty expensive. There is a reason Coco didn't want her using it when things weren't dire.
Tbh they need to buff that semblance of hers i feel like with the current stuff and other semblances we seen velvet should be able to keep them forever once she takes a photo i mean it won't make her so unbeatable op her weapon mastery is limited compared to one person who has used the weapon their entire life
@@sparknazo Velvet copies their fighting style as well so it would make her op as fuck if she could use the weapons forever
Adam has a rose on his shirt because Blake's fairytale inspiration is a combination of Belle and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast and Adam is the cursed rose.
damn that's really cool
Blake is just Belle, Adam is supposed to be Prince Adam aka the beast
@@Blightlenox Nope, the writers have confirmed in the past that the inspiration for Blake is both Belle and Beast. Adam is closer to Gaston if anything else.
@@Samocoptor yes exactly bc adam is her curse that she cant escape
The beauty and the beast bc she's a girl faunus and thats how people would see her
Blake is Belle and the good parts of the beast and Adam is Gaston and the bad parts
Remember when the Normies were all "Yeah we're ready for volume 3", Pepperidge farm remembers.
No one is ready for RWVY season 3, specifically the last 3 episodes
“Pepperidge Farm remembers...how could we not? Not a day goes by where we try to erase the painful memories of volume 3 finale of that internet show...drowning our sorrows with Milano cookies and milk. It helps...for a time...but the pain...the pain of what happened...it always returns. You see...Pepperidge Farm isn’t blessed with “fond nostalgia”; We are cursed with eternal recollection. Our lives here are traumatic existential crises. So please...buy our cookies...We only sell them in priced packages for minimum quantity because we’ve come to understand that you can’t put a price on what you truly love, and should cherish it. Because whether a delicious cookies, or cherished love one on shown that Pepperidge Farm watched once; It can all be taken away in an instant...”
But Peppridge Farm isn't gonna keep that to Peppridge Farm's self. Maybe you go get a box of RWBY Chibi, this all goes away.
This is the one episode me and almost every other RWBY fan always enjoys seeing the reactions of from new faces, knowing full well all the beats about the land.
Suffice to say, you guys didn't disappoint XD
"Something tells me this season's going to end depressingly"
Me: *nervous laughter*
And yeah, Velvet's semblance let's her perfectly mimic the fighting styles of people she has observed, and her weapon converts the pictures she takes into hard light copies of their weapons that last for a few strikes before they dissipate.
As a RWBY fan and Normie fan I’ve been dying to see their vol 3 reactions XD
Chibi Nora eyes you maniacally and menacingly
Me: "sips cup of tears"
SSSSSSHHHHH
Y’all are gonna be a big part of helping us survive Hiatus.
yep even right after Volume 8
For real
When is vol 9 coming back November or October right? In that case they'll probably be on v8 actually
@@sparknazo
They haven't announced anything yet, but early November would be my guess. Usually get some kind of announcement in July with RTX.
@@sparknazo on one hand, The pandemic has slowed productions a lot for the show. On the other hand Volume 9 was being made directly after they finished on Volume 8. So I guess we'll have to see if the extra time makes up for the slowed production time.
Velvet’s semblance is Photographic Reflexes. She can perfectly imitate anyone’s fighting style she watches(not other semblances). Her weapon is the box she carries around and her camera. She takes pictures of weapons with her camera and then the box creates copies of them made out of Hard Light dust. If you remember back to Volume 2’s finale when Coco told Velvet not to waste “it”, the “it” she was referring to was the Hard Light dust, which is hard to come by and very expensive.
Memory her semblance is called Photographic Memory
Also the ship went down since Ruby launched the Grimm that ate Roman straight through the ship's controls.
People always give Jaune to much stick for looking away, but in all respect to him, if someone you care about is screaming all of a sudden behind you, of course your gonna look at them to see if their ok
Jaune gave himself the most slack, if you check and think about it, any time Jaune has the ability to in future seasons he takes a hit or shields someone else. This moment had a bigger impact on him than given credit for.
Was anyone else singing/yelling along to I May Fall during Velvet’s scene?
Just me? Ok
No, me too.
@@blueblade6174 yeah me too
The vocalist, Casey Lee Williams, has her own band now: OK Goodnight. They still make series music :)
One OK Goodnight Rock?
@@blueblade6174 ???
@@coulsonintahiti there's a Japanese band called One OK Rock so I just combined the 2.
@@blueblade6174 OOOOOH ok thanks
or should i say . . . One OK Goodnight Rock thanks?
@@coulsonintahiti I dunno
I honestly love Roman, I always assumed that he started out as a huntsman, and then lost his team at some point and quit. That is, to me, what his speech before he died was about.
As cool as that sounds, it's highly unlikely, given that he never unlocked his Semblance and thus was most likely never a Huntsman.
there's a few RWBY books out, and the most recent one, Roman Holiday, covers Neo and Roman's backstory
@@Patrick-jd1ku well it covers Neo’s backstory, we just get how Roman became the most wanted criminal in Vale, and how they met
Roman's speech really humanised him for me. Always loved his character, the sarcastic asshole psychopath, but hearing him say he essentially didn't have a choice and then get eaten two seconds later was really chilling. It was a really great scene. He's literally trying to beat the naivete and virtue out of her the way he feels like the world beat it out of him. Do you hear the tone in his voice about how the beacon kids are going to end up dead, "like every other huntsman does?" He's not talking in a tone about strangers. What really makes him a tragic villain is that he asserts a conviction that he lies, cheats, and steals because that's the only way to stay alive - and then gets eaten immediately. There's an Aesop's fable there somewhere, about how no matter what you stoop to doing you're still going to end up dead - and most likely not on your own terms. Cowards dead a thousand times - and sometimes it doesn't even buy them any more time. "like every other huntsman does!" That line broke my heart, he's not talking in a tone that suggests strangers. He's taking about his friends. His team. Hell, his family.
Tempus fugit, momento mori, Romeo.
Another Patreon supporter noted this already so I'll just post it here:
Ruby Rose - Little Red Riding Hood (Wears a red hood, is first seen fighting
wolves, and is called Red by Torchwick.)
Weiss Schnee - Snow White (Her name means white snow, her leitmotif song is
called mirror mirror, and her necklace has an apple on it.)
Blake Belladonna Belle from Beauty and the Beast (Though in this case Blake
is the beauty and the beast. Her last name contains Bell, she loves reading,
and own a candelabra)
Yang Xaio Long - Goldilocks (In her trailer she fights Junior, based off of baby
bear, and a DJ wearing a bear mask. Yang first fights bear grimm. And she's
protective of her hair)
Ozpin - The Wizard of Oz (The Wizard's real name was Oscar Zoroaster
Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkel Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs, which was
abbreviated to OZPINHEAD, or OZPIN, HEADmaster of Beacon)
Glynda Goodwitch - Glynda the Good witch (Do I have to say anything?)
Roman Torchwick - Romeo Candlewick (Aside from the name, Roman smokes
cigars, just like Candlewick)
Jaune Arc - Joan of Arc (Has similar names, and his arc is based on Joan of
Arc's prosecution by the Cardin of Winchester.)

of norse mythology, gets powered by lightning.)
Pyrrha Nikos - Achilles (Pyrrha was the name Achilles used in disguise, both
are said to be invincible, and ...)
Lie Ren - Mulan (Ren's design is very chinese inspired.)
Penny Polendina - Pinocchio. Her last name, Polendina, comes from the
derogatory nickname that Pinocchio's creator, Geppetto, was given, due to his
yellow wig bearing resemblance to polenta in the original story. Pinocchio is a
sentient wooden puppet and Penny's weapon is controlled by strings.)
Sun Wukong - Sun Wukong from Journey to the West (Are both monkeys, fights
with a staff named Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang, similar to the original Sun
Wukong's staff, Ruyi Jingu Bang, His Semblance allows him to produce clones
of himself. The original Sun Wukong could create clones of himself from
strands of his hair, In Volume 1, Sun identifies Blake as a Faunus right away.
This may be a reference to the original Sun Wukong's ability named "huoyan-
jinjing"), which enabled him to see through disguises and illusions. And he says
it'll be a regular Journey to the East in Of Runaways and Stowaways)
Cinder Fall - Cinderella (The shoes she wears with her original battle outfit are
made of glass. She has been shown to fight with glass. Her emblem looks like
two heels together. And then there's the events of Dance Dance Infiltration,
where Cinder goes to a ball and is advised to return by midnight.)

a variant of the Greek word Basileus, meaning "leader, prince, king or
emperor" and Poseidon is often called the King of the Sea. He also wields a
trident)

a pair of winged shoes, which Mercury was known to wear)
Emerald Sustrai Aladdin ( She is a thief, and is called street rat a couple times, alluding to Aladdin)
James Ironwood - Tinman (Tinman's original name was the tin woodman, and
Ironwood is a Tinman, because he's a cyborg)
Neapolitan - Mary Poppins (it just fits so well with the umbrella motif)
Qrow Branwen - Huginn of "The Poetic Edda"/Scarecrow(Qrow is a crow,
and Huginn is a raven. Scarecrow is his role in the Ozluminati) and his weapon name is Harbinger.
Winter Schnee - The Snow Queen (Displays similar characteristics,
especially to Elsa, the 2012 Frozen interpretation of the Snow Queen)
Creatures of Grimm - Brothers Grimm (The writers of many 'grim' fairy tales)
Shopkeep - THE CHRISTIAN GOD HIMSELF
I can post the rest of the cast as they are revealed. Glad you guys finally got to
experience this great show the best of the best.
I agree just like a few of the other villains later in the show torchwick didn’t want to be in the position he was in but felt he had no choice
God there is too much information for me to read.
@@shade_darq9209 yeah because he spams the same bullshit literally every video
Ozpin telling Pyrrha that she'll only get in the way is great. She's probably the best fighter we've seen and he shrugs her off like she a regular person.
Well that, and Ozpin probably can't go all out if he has to worry about someone else.
I'm pretty sure he didn't meant it like that; he was ready to give his all and maybe die. Fighting a maiden and taking care of his student was going to make everything more difficult.
@@Koda89 Yea that's obviously why he said it. That's my point.
Some people didn't like volume 4, but I enjoyed the story. Such a good show.
4 was slow but solid. Necessary season to unpack 3. 5 on the other hand...
@@mojoofj0j024 8 on the other other hand...
@@Jay-ms6ur I can't decide if it's actually bad. But it was definitely disappointing.
@@mojoofj0j024 everything after 4
Haven't seen 8 yet but they pretty much backed the story into a corner, going to have to deus ex machina to get out of it.
The story writing is definitely gone down but the most disappointed thing for me is that the choreography for the fight scenes seems so bad after volume 4
Like when I watch them the first time the hype was there so I was just like "holy shit yo this is lit" but if you compare them to some earlier fights it just seems so bad
I remember when I watch the regalia fan made trailer I was like "how in the hell is this fan made fight looks so good??? Like it feels so much smoother and better than the actual show!!!"
I haven't even finished volume 8 yet but I guess imma watch it now cause watching this makes me miss rwby so much
I legit almost teared up when I watch their rwby trailer reaction, it was such a good time when I found out about rwby 😭😭😭
Velvet is what happens if Taskmaster got his hands on a Green Lantern ring...
I don't think there could have been a more perfect comparison.
Velvet powers are more explain in the books that focuses on her team after the events of volume 3.
Velvet semblance is called Photographic Memory. She is able to mimic others movements and fighting styles but not their semblances. Her weapon(the camera and the case) uses hard light dust(weiss uses it for shielding) to replicate weapons and needs an image of the weapons and as a result the image gets erase which is why they dont last long. Velvet is pretty agile and great at martial arts mixed with all her abilities and weaponry she is basically a very adaptable fighter.
The micmic and camera lets her replictae dust related stuff that doesnt involve mixong it with a semblance.
OH MY GOD I love how they all jumped at Cinder's entrance! That was great!
You know a villain is great when they can make you jump when they enter the scene.
"She's like Taskmaster"
Pretty much the best way to describe what Velvet can do
Fucking hell, that moment before Blake's clone kicks in
My fucking heart stopped
"I May Fall" combined with Velvet (someone draw this for me please) FINALLY revealing her weapon? I flat out started crying tears of joy! I was one of those who called it back when it aired. Weiss finally managed to summon a guardian, and Velvet taking a picture of it?

Velvet's weapon is what creates the weapons she photographs by using dust. Her semblance is that "Photographic Memory" where any fighting style she sees, she can replicate.
it still hurts to see Torchwick go out like that
I know! He was the best villain
Sad to see Mikey not here
Velvet's semblance is she can copy other's physical abilities. She takes photos of weapons and scans them into a hard-light printer.
gasp
-Neo 2016
her first word *-*
Fun Facts
Fact 1: Most of the moves that Velvet performs with everyone's weapons are taken directly from each weapon's first appearance.
Fact 2: The fight between Neo and Ruby was partially Monty Oum's work.
Fact 3: When Adam and Yang attack each other, the animations used are the finishing move from the "Black" Trailer and the finishing move from the "Yellow" Trailer.
Remember there is a credit scene at the end of next episode and there is a season 4 trailer
I've been waiting for this episode since the beginning of the series
The coolest thing about Velvet is that she also mimics the movements too not just the weapons
I think Rana summerized Volume 3 perfectly at 17:16
Yes! FUCK! NOOOO! 🤣☠
Can I just say Darmarin’s reaction is EVERYTHING!!!
@Keith Montgomery troll
@@nomi105 right
Gybh
18:11 The infamous mini-heart attack moment. I love it so much.
Velvet takes pictures of weapons so she can recreate them artificially using an uncommon and expensive dust, the hard-light dust. That, in concordance with her Semblance, Photographic Memory which lets her learn the combat style of anyone with seeing them fight only once makes her capable of replicate any huntsman or huntress in the world with nothing more than taking a picture and having watched them in battle at any moment of her life.
Velvet's weapon/semblance turns the weapons she takes pictures of into holograms that can actually cut through things.
*Velvet
Well, that's what her weapon does. Her semblance lets her copy the fighting style of others.
I forgot how awesome Velvet is
Was waiting for their reaction to Yang getting amputated, and was not disappointed, it's crazy that some reactors don't realize that Yang lost her arm until Ruby sees her in the next episode, like they have the shot were her arm clearly separates, and then their is a slow motion shot where her body is falling, you clearly see a stump, and yellow blood, and they're like "What, she lost her arm!?" So much crazy shit happens in this episode.
being all caught up with RWBY all i can say is expect much more greater things down the lane, loved the reactions as always can't wait to go through the series over again reacting to you guys
Velvet has a hard light camera that uses dust to print the weapons she photographs. Her semblance gives her photographic memory allowing her to remember how to use every weapon she sees. She can't copy semblances.
Know it's a long shot but is there any possibility ya'll will react to Monty's Dead Fantasy series (36 minutes whole series)? It's a bit dated graphically but fits well with the group you have reacting and shows a lot of his unique fight choreography.
Velvet's gear uses images of weapons runs it through some kind of program to create a 3D model and then creates a life size version of it with hard light dust. The hard light copy only lasts for a few hits which is why Velvet has to stock pile a ton of pictures for longer fights. The reason why she chose to use this gear as her weapon is because her semblance allows her to copy someones fighting style just by having seen them. That makes her use the hard light copies well. It's like becoming a master with a specific weapon for the short time that you have it before switching to the next, if you watch the right ppl before hand that is. The only thing that really holds her back when using her hard light copies is that she can't mimic other ppls semblances. So if they use their semblance a lot with their weapon to do specific moves or attacks Velvet can't copy that.
This and the next are two of the best episodes in the series
I may fall is my favorite song of the entire show I get chills each and every time I hear it
Velvet has photo graphic memory where she can look at a fighting style of any fighters and she can match them equally
Velvet can only use every picture once for a short period of time, which is why she keeps making pictures :) its also kinda dark if u think about it, she used penny’s weapon for the last time since she can never make the picture again.
Also im so happy you guys are enjoying ironwood, he is so fucking amazing ❤️❤️ hope you will continue to enjoy his character :D
Until they get to Volume 8 then they will have a different opinion about him
This reaction brought back the hype and shock that I only ever experienced when I first saw that episode.
We needed the double drop but this is cool
This is one of my favorite rwby episodes
Professor Ozpin = Wizard of Oz
Glynda Goodwitch = Good Witch of the North
Ironwood = The Tin Man
Qrow = Scarecrow
Leo Lionheart = Cowardly Lion
Cinder Fall = Cinderella
Roman Torchwick = Romeo Candlewick (Pinocchio novel)
Mercury Black = Hermes/Mercury
Emerald = Aladdin
Neo = Looks like an ice cream sandwich...
Ruby Rose = Red Riding Hood
Yang Xiao Long = Goldilocks
Weiss Schnee = Snow White
Blake Belladonna = Beauty
Adam Taurus = Beast
Jaune Arc = Joan of Arc
Nora Valkyrie = Thor
Pyrrha Nikos = Achilles
Lie Ren = Fa Mulan
Penny = Pinocchio
etc...
And now you know why the comments were full of people yelling for you to PAY ATTENTION!. One of us! One of us!
Pyrrha's favorite band is Jon bon Jovi and their song
SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AND YOUR TOO LATE DARLING YOU GIVE LOVE A BAD NAME
Crazy episode
Episode 11, or whatever number before the finale, is always epic
Velvet: I am the bone of my sword
Trace On!
Did anyone else feel like Roman was speaking from personal experience during his rant? He seemed particularly bitter when talking about the "real world" and what he thinks is the fate of every hunter. It doesn't sound like he's ranting to throw Ruby off, he's ranting because he's had it with the world. It could be that Ruby reminds Roman of himself as a child and the's actually trying to teach her a lesson about the real world. I think Roman just wanted her to know the truth about the world. His demise proves how cruel the world is, and if you let yourself be vulnerable the world will hurt you. Not to mention, in volume 2 he told the White Fang that "Humans are the worst. case in point, me"

experience this great show the best of the best.
Spoiler for current season
I’m kind of hoping that neo will join Ruby and will get a cool backstory of her meeting torchwick and maybe some answers from your question about the real world
Hopefully we get some Roman/Neo backstory in vol. 9.
Oh my god stop spamming every fucking episode with this god damn rant in every comment you leave
Velvet's Semblance lets her copy any fighting style she sees, works great with her weapon!
Loved the reaction, especially Damarin lol. He seems like such a cynic, so seeing him in shock at the events was great
I'm assuming that Velvet can only use each weapon she photographs once and then has to photograph it again. Otherwise she really would be insanely OP
Yes, that's confirmed to be how it works. Once she uses it, she loses the photograph and has to take another one to use it again.
Yeah, I forgot how fucking intense this episode was.
It's always fun watching people's first reaction to THIS episode in particular. I remember when it first came out back in 2016 (FUCK I feel old) and damn it sure made an impact. I'm looking forward to how you'll react to the finale...
Do you believe in destiny?
It would be really awesome if they react to the soundtrack, I honestly sometimes enjoy it more than the actual story. Jeff and Casey are just amazing
I’m glad this episode enraptured you guys, this is my favorite episode
Velvet's semblance is the ability to copy other people's fighting styles. But without the correct weapon, the fighting style wouldn't be much use, so she uses something called Hardlight Dust (which is very expensive) to make physical copies of other people's weapons.
“Ironwood’s so cool”
Me, crying: yeah.. he is 🥲
so cool, totally sane haha 😗
He was
This is so funny. Welcome to the end of the beginning of RWBY lol. Happy to have you :D
This episode had so many surprises for sure.
Cinder Fall now has the full power of the Fall Maiden, just as she planned. That's 1 down and 3 to go.
Cinder truly played everyone throughout the course of these first 3 Volumes; her "grand masterplan" (as Roman so eloquently put it) worked out perfectly at pretty much every turn. From her skill at planning and manipulation alone, you can get a sense of why people like Roman, Neo and Adam, truly felt that there was no other option but to join her.
_"Like it or not, the people that hired me are going to change the world! You can't stop 'em, I can't stop 'em! You know the old saying: 'If you can't beat 'em...'"_
Fittingly Velvet's weapon was one of the last.things Monty was working on.
Favorite episode in the entire series
18:20 "I hope you grabbed her hand." ...I'm actually not sure, if this is the case it's the first time I've noticed it, but if you look near the bottom of the screen *while* Adam is killing the Creep, I _think_ the little pale shape above the pile of rubble going off the bottom edge of the screen is her arm. Or it could just be a reflection of fire on stone.
Adams is problebly one of my favorite antagonist in this show
I remember watching it when this first aired, your reaction is all too familiar. This episode is interesting from a narrative standpoint; this was where the whole innocent school setting falls apart, and aspects established early in the narrative reach their conclusion. Ruby has a final showdown with Torchwick, who throughout the first three volumes has been her primary enemy. But he doesn't romanticize what their dynamic is; his "this is the _real_ world" speech shows a far more cynical side; he knows this goes way beyond a criminal like him, and he really is just trying to survive. And note that Ruby wasn't the one to take down her villain; despite all the buildup, he's unceremoniously killed. He's nothing, in the end. Weiss has one of her best scenes in the series, where she overcomes her limits for the first time with that summon. But more importantly, she does it to protect Velvet, a _faunus._ Compare this to how she was at the end of Volume 1. Getting past her previous prejudices has opened up new possibilities for her. Blake vows that she wouldn't run again, but is forced to. Adam takes all of her idealism and throws it back in her face; it's impossible to gain peace and equality when there are people - and in this case, with more power and better connections - actively working against you. And Yang... Well, as her fights with Neo and in the tournament have repeatedly demonstrated, all that power doesn't mean much if it's not used tactically. It doesn't matter how angry she is; Yang charged straight at Adam, a highly-trained swordsman who'd deliberately goaded her into attacking and was ready. She made a huge mistake, and it's cost her dearly. Lastly, Ironwood's robotic body has been foreshadowed as early as his first scene in Volume 2. That closeup of him taking the coffee mug was no accident; it was to point out that only one his hands was gloved, thus indicating that he had a prosthetic. It wasn't a question of if parts of his body were mechanical, but _how much._
All thru the series:
Qrow: Jimmy
12:41
Qrow: “General”
12:40
I Have to hand it to Yang for the Blake save
I'm so ready for you guys to see the next episode! Can't imagine what you guys are gonna say when you make it to volume 8.
“I need to know why the Moon’s Broken.....”
Me (Having just binged the whole series from beginning to end for the first time):........Goddammit........🤣🤣🤣
My boy Jeane crushing that guard detail.
After this volume, I'm going to miss the headbanging at the opening song XD.
So not only does Velvet's weapon create hard light copies of other people's weapons, her semblance allows her to perfectly copy the movements of a fighter she's seen.
Basically, Velvet's weapon and semblance are one of the few - if not the only - combination in the show that fit perfectly with one another.
She probably built and programmed her weapon (or someone did that for her) in order to fit perfectly with her semblance.
@@noox13 she definitely did built it for herself that’s why it fits so perfectly.
@@noox13 I think they've said in outside matierial that her dad is a works in Atlas and had the weapon made for her.
@@dylanv.4970
Makes sense.
I don't remember when, but someone confirmed that Velvet can only copy weapon fighting not semblances
PYRRHA IS SOOOO OP IN VOLUME 4 that she turns her enemies into dust...
Dude really 😓
Technically, that's Cinder's job...
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain you ready for their Reaction next Friday
POPCORN AT THE READY!!
@@Crazycoyote-we7ey Indeed!
**Cinder kernel-pop** 🍿🔥😈
Iron wood was based on The Tin Man, each of the headmasters is based on someone from the wizard of Oz
They need to watch the next episode... NOW!
Right, just cause you keep saying that Purah has some kind of dark magic, I would like to explain that Pyrah's semblance is the manipulation of magnetism. The black aura around objects is just how we are shown that she is using her semblance.
You spelled her name wrong, twice. Pyrrha.
@@destroyerofnirn3537 sorry, first one was a typo. But I thought it had one r. My mistake I guess
I've said in almost every rwby volume
Give the people that animate Blake's ears a raise
oh hello old me
Roman Torchwick speech hits different when you guys watch the other volumes
Don’t forget to watch the post credit scene after the last episode is over
Adam: You find me. At my most. Masochistic.
"ironwood is the best" nice quote lets see if you stick with that
24:47 "like some little residue" even tho its meant to be something else I can't stop but I can't stop the tearing up that its what pyrrha's outcome
Been waiting for this episode since they started watching rwby 👀
this was the most stressful episode of volume 3....watching it while it was still releasing was quite the experience
Attempt #495: of trying to get The Normies to check out Symbionic-Titan or Primal.
Both made by Genndy Tartakovsky, the guy who made Samurai Jack.
hehehe, they seem to love ironwood, can't wait for them to catch up
When The Empire strikes back.
Cinder... So you know. Can turn dust in the air, or sand I suppose, into glass as part of her semblance. Just a heads up.
Also, this was the volume I think Lindsay Jones became a legit voice actor. Some of the lines she delivers in these last few episodes of Vol 3 always gives me chills. Especially next episode when she wakes up in bed. That scene when she's telling Qrow what she last remembers is an absolutely chilling performance.
Almost that time....gotta catch up on y’all reactions....been waiting on your innocence to be taken...(even though Ik y’all ahead irl now) lol
You guys should react to Red vs Blue by Rooster Teeth it's the longest airing web-series and it's a legendary show.
absolutely friggin love this episode.
specially velvets scene
I love your guys reactions! ❤️
Blake literally used a substitution jutsu XD
I hope y’all see the Volume 4 Ruby Character Short. It acts as a little Prologue/Trailer
And. Here. We. Go....
" oh there go blake boo (x30)"
- Adam actually showing that he was her boo
" bleuuurgh"
🤨🤨🤨🤷
