(Vol. 2, Ep. 4: Painting the Town…)

(Vol. 3, Ep. 11: Heroes and Monsters)

While we have seen destructible clone illusions elsewhere, we have not seen any other user of illusions that can conceal not just herself, but also subjects in a larger area. (Such as herself and Roman, for example.)

This subject requires more observation and research.

Or alternatively her Semblance can project a copy of the current environment when she teleports, or she can increase the radius of what her teleportation mirrors with Dust. She seems to have a semblance related to mirrors, so she could be using "smoke and mirrors" (E.G: Something that looks like magic or illusions, but is really explainable in a different way) in order to make her seem mysterious and to confuse her enemies.

Assuming that she doesn't actually have a teleportation semblance: Where exactly did she go after she and Roman escaped the first time, then? Were they just hiding behind a random pillar, hoping that they wouldn't get caught? Where did Neo go when she was running away from Raven? Can she make herself invisible? If that's the case, why didn't she infiltrate the Tower instead of Cinder?

I am under the assumption that illusion semblances are rare or even generally unheard of in Remnant, since none of the incredibly well-trained hunters such as Qrow, Ironwood or Ozpin even thought of that idea when Yang broke Mercury's leg, even though they knew somebody was attempting to infiltrate Beacon and cause general mayhem. The idea that Cinder somehow managed to find two of them to work for her is making a very large assumption in how lucky she just happens to be.

In "Painting the Town…", after Yang shattered the illusion wall, the camera pans from Yang (who is trying to figure out what happened) to a fleeing Bullhead with Neo and Roman in the vehicle's transport bay.

As for fleeing from Raven, I am not sure and I don't think anyone (but RT maybe) really knows for sure. Since it is likely her projections work in real-time and are dynamic (instead of a static image in the first instance), she probably managed to "cloak" herself through use of these projections. (Fittingly, manipulation of light reflection and refraction may be a possibility here. Smoke? No. Mirrors? Possibly.)

As for why she didn't infiltrate the Tower, it could be due to compartmentalization and/or assignment. (If fewer people know the whole plan, the less likely it will be discovered if a participant is captured.) She was probably assigned to work with Roman while Cinder, Merc and Emerald were in charge of setting things up at Beacon.

So Neo not only managed to hide herself and Roman from RWBY, but she also managed to hide a giant, loud Bullhead from them as well? And they managed to climb up a rope or something within about two seconds? Why did Cinder even need Emerald then if Neo can use her powers on even more people than her to make them see/not see things that exist/don't exist?

It is likely the Bullhead was on standby in the area for the purpose of rapid evac. (I don't think she concealed that, let alone the noise it makes.) Roman or Neo could've signalled it for evac or it could've been tracking them. (Considering Roman left the warehouse with the Paladin, it's probable that Neo took the airship to follow him.) As for how they managed to board it in that short duration… I'm not entirely sure of that myself. Either the illusions are capable of relaying or play back audio, or they moved very quickly. (Remember that Blake and Sun managed to outpace the Paladin, which also kept pace with highway traffic.) Also, powered winches are a possible factor in their boarding of the Bullhead.

As for why Emerald was needed, remember that different situations require different tools. Let us use the Vytal Tournament for example.

I'm just waiting for Uncle Branwen to tell more stories of Remnant and not these fan theories that make people's brains explode.

I just want to know more about the history of Remnant. Or more stories of him in skirt…… that is good too….

Good thing, he's not embarrassed of wearing it. He looks like he's used to this.

So is anyone else hoping that we eventually meet Jaune's wonderful, loving, intelligent parents… Salem and Hazel?

Whaaat? Nooo! Obviously Jaune's parents are Taiyang and some chick he met.

When did the spring maiden became so important?

You see, the Fall Maiden became Cinder, so now they need a replacement

But there are 3 other maidens out there, and it's pretty obvious that everyone ignore her location, why her specifically when they are other 2?

Cause you see, Salem is a sick bitch who likes to hunt her preys, one by one. Though personally I would hunt the winter maiden cause Fall>Winter>Spring>Summer. Or maybe she hunts them by increasing power levels, which means Fall is the weakest maiden. And probably Salem will try to put all powers into one person, Cinder, not cause she wants to see Cinder strong but cause she's curious about what happens… probably Cinder will explode into bloody meatchunks after some Cat Transcendence-esque lightshow…

The explosion would be anticlimatic. Unless is in battle or something similar, maybe.

Please. My REAL family will show up in due time.

In graves due to Salem?

The moment when you can't enjoy the gallery cause full of trash! I should become a mod….

Could we trust you with that responsibility though? I mean, this could just be your first step toward starting the robot uprising.

I think I know who I will ban first.

Yeah. I've been saying for a while that MIMU needs to be stopped.

You with the Mod's Ban hammer worries me. I don't know if you can handle that much power.

If you can lift the hammer, you can handle it!

You….. Are not worthy. But you need the Mind stone to lift it Penny.

Me not worthy? I'm the purest cinnamon bun ever existed! Of course I can lift it bare handed!

But how can you lift it when your left arm is here, and your right is over there?

Friendly reminder to keep the thread on topic or I'll have to start issuing warnings, go roleplay in your walls

Not like we have anything to talk about….

Beside, that's none of your business where we roleplay.

Not like we have anything to talk about….

Then don't bump the thread if you have nothing worthwhile to add? Is that too difficult to do?

Beside, that’s none of your business where we roleplay.

Lol, of course it is, the rules clearly state to keep it relevant, roleplay is barely relevant anywhere in the site and it can get you warned, certain roleplayer did get warned for doing so in a serious debate thread, good luck becoming a mod with your poor grasp of the rules ;o

Last warning, don't derail this thread with non-RWBY stuff

I said this earlier somewhere in some user's wall but I'm going to say it anyway.

-The Grimm World might be the embodiment of Hell itself and the Grimm are it's demons.

-Salem must be Lucifer or Satan (Fun Fact from somewhere in the Bible; Lucifer and Satan are the same person.) since she acts like Luci here. What I know from my perspective, Salem must've existed in the pre-human age of Remnant but was casted out by her people by doing malicious and mischievous things. She probably accidentally or intended to dip herself into one of those Grimm spawners and came out the Salem what we know of today. In the Bible, or that damn webcomic I just read, Lucifer got caught doing malicious and mischievous things and got kicked out of Heaven by his father God or his fabulous angelic brother Michael. He probably grown his horns after touching the surface of Hell.

-The evergrowing hate from Ozpin by Salem is the same reason why Lucifer here hates God himself. Hm… If Ozpin is God then Oscar must be Jesus. Ever thought of why Ozpin enroll and train Hunters that are sworn protectors who fight of Grimm just for the sake of humanity's safety? God also wants warriors to protect Heaven and Earth from hellish evil by fighting demons everyday. Can Oscar turn flowers into wheat?

-Hm… The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Conquest is Cinder, War is Tyrian, Famine should be Hazel, and Watts might be Death himself. The reason why Cinder isn't war because… Did you even watch what she did? She made an entire army to buttfuck the shit out of Beacon Academy.

Let me know what you guys think?

Seeing how this is most likely the best place to find fans of this series on this site, I have a question for you all regarding this series.
See, the other day I remember looking around at Walmart when I found them selling RWBY on disc. This honestly left me rather puzzled. Who would actually buy a disc version of this series when you can just watch it on Youtube for free?

So, my question is have any of you actually bought the disc version of this series, and if you did, why?
I'm just genuinely curious.

Not everybody has wifi.

I haven't, but I think the disks have developer commentary on them and behind the scenes footage. Since Roosterteeth employees are actually kind of famous, some people might enjoy listening to them talk.

Plus, I guess some people might like to watch it with their friends, which is easier on a TV then on the computer.

Now a question. Was the RWBY dvds cheaper in Walmart or off of RT's online store?

Well, if no one else will talk about the new episode, I guess I'll do it.

I'm assuming that the next episode will be the direct setup to the action (Tyrian will be stalking Ruby, Adam will arrive at Menagerie, ect), and the next episode we'll see some s*t go down.

That said, I hope it doesn't extend for too much longer than that. They've been setting up for over half the volume, I want to see something happen.

(I'm probably going to regret saying this when Sun ends up impaled on Adam's sword or Nora is beheaded by Tyrian)

I think Sun and Nora are safe- most likely, Ghira and Kali are the ones with the targets on their backs. After all, if Blake's gonna rejoin Team RWBY like so many people are predicting her to, she's gonna need some serious motivation to do so. And what better motivator would there be than attacking her at her home, the one place she felt safe, and killing her parents, giving her literally no one else to turn to?

I'm expecting for Menagerie to be attacked or the target of a White Fang mutiny or something, forcing Ghira and Kali to flee with Blake. I'm only saying this because they're on a ship with Blake in the opening, which, admittedly, isn't the best thing to use for predicting events.

At the very least I'm pretty sure they'll survive until the last episode. Miles and Kerry did say that this would be a more lighthearted Volume. Parent murder isn't really that happy, in my opinion.

Yeah, because creators have never lied to us before. And after the last volume, I don't expect RT to pull any punches.

Not sure if anyone else has talked about this yet… but I have some thoughts about Yang's arm. Copypasting from my comment about it:

Honestly, I was hoping that she would end up learning how to fight one-handed, or that she would end up using kicks instead of punches, so that she would go from the strongest member of Team RWBY (Arguably) to the weakest one that has to stay calm and think about how to beat her opponents. A robot arm was expected, but I wanted it to be given to her at least at the end of the Volume, after she gets into a couple fights, not at the start.

Well, maybe Dr. Watts will have an EMP semblance or something. He could use it on Mercury's legs when he tries to run away, and then it can be build up for when Yang ends up fighting him for some reason.

Well, it's been established that fully functional artificial limbs exist in Remnant, so Yang would have to be insane to not use one. Which, to be honest, I was expecting to have been a plot point: she got a prosthetic, but refused to use it out of a stubborn sense of pride (which, needless to say, isn't how things turned out).
That said, it's entirely possible her PTSD might hold her back. We'll have to wait and see.

Walmart, they're almost half price from what's on RT's store.

I'm still here laughing on how cringy these OCs here.

What makes me ponder…. if Qrow is following team RNJR, does he gonna fight Tyrion or they will make him unable somehow?

Simple… Qrow fights Tyrian, but ends up being forced to protect RNJR, who are liabilities in the battle. The fight ends with Qrow getting slashed across the face, blinding him, and backup arrives in the form of Raven, who proceeds to leave immediately.

Unfortunately, Nora and Ren recognise her, bringing a whole new slew of angst along with Qrows sudden blindness.

So Tyrion has a Solf spot for eyes? Qrow will surely be angry for being unable to protect team RNJR anymore…. also leaving them unprotected (duh!).

Of course! An eye for an eye, after all. It doesn't matter whose eye, but somebody is losing one or both.

Okay heads ups! Since I'm unable to find the post you got to trust my words. This year due to the holidays the last RWBY episode will be on December 10 (11 for non-sponsors). If the timing comes out like that we maybe get a World of Remnant before next year, otherwise in January the show will continue.

And according that I suspect we might get a mid volume show down.
