TS you should watch ~('o')~
after three years of build up we have finally been rewarded with a plot starting halfway through V3 TwT

Miles on the RWBY Podcast @1:20:00-1:20:48: One of the things I'm excited for, there's definitely a slight shift by the end of chapter 6, that people noticed. One of my favorite reactions was "we wanted a darker tone, BUT NOT LIKE THIS!!"
[...]
Roman: The phrase that we were talking about the other day was, "this is the end of the beginning." So everything that's happened so far was always planned. And this phase of the story, what's turned out to be volumes 1 through 3, was always supposed to be the set-up.
Miles: Yes, Act 1.
Roman: So we're getting to that and then *makes hand gesture going up and away*

There's also this:

@1:23:21-1:26:00 "Any funny stories/issues with the Japanese translation?"
Miles: So I go to the time code, go to that moment in the episode. It's episode 1. It's that moment where Torchwick is sitting in the bullhead airship, and Glynda attacks, and he goes *grunts*. So I was like "okay, he just goes *grunts*, it's an effort, there is no line. Okay... so what do they think he was saying?"
Kerry: 'cause we think, "maybe we've got the wrong time code?", maybe this is a different moment entirely.
Miles: So I translate it, and they thought Torchwick said, "FUCK!!!"
I was like "WHOOOOOOOOA THIS IS A CHILDREN'S SHOOOOW, ABOOOOORT!" So we got a good laugh out of that...

But then the very next episode that aired (V3Ch7, "The Beginning of the End") they put up the "Viewer Discretion" warning lol

Without the OP and ED that episode was ~15min
Same with the previous episode, while the one before that was ~10min.

The average has been ~13min since the start of V2.

by **Truthseeker4449** 7th February 2016, 9:55 pm

And they put what sounds like so much action into that time frame...

saw the episode...:

Pardion any typos.... my hands are still shaking....

Gonna keep things together and probably get things out of order, but I feel like this is the best way to get my thoughts out. Any images used are gonna be from KM's wall post unless otherwise noted (googled about halfway through my post to find extra stuff, plus found a few things on this reddit page):

let's start with my love:

Nest, let's see what Blake and Adam are up to...:

...Moving on with everyone fighting the Grimm at Beacon:

next, badass Ironwood:

Finally, ArkosShipping:

To sum up everything:

Even with 1.5 minutes for the OP and 5 minutes for the volume credits that's still 22.5 MINUTES (it's like a real animu now)
I AM NOT READY FOR THIS THERE'S SO MANY WAYS THIS CAN GO WRONG

He duped us all. u_u
Should've heeded that foreshadowing with the smile he gave at the ending of "PvP"

RT please give us a current WF member who is sympathetic because right now they're a mess
this is like the Equalists in LoK all over again

Blake... My heart can't take much more...

Still not over how terrfied she looks there.

...You've already killed me guys... You can stop twisting the knife in my back....

At least it's not in your gut

i'm sorry

Literally almost had a heart attack when I saw that... GG Miles and Kerry. GG.

I didn't think she'd die because main character but yeah that was intense @.@

Thank goodness she can make shadow clones... I can't believe how cruel Adam was... *boots him completely off my list and puts him below Cardin*

And you called Adam cruel

at least he's more interesting than Cardin
even if RT took the easy way out with making him an abuser
_{read: i really hate cardin/dislike V1's jaune arc}

I'm sorry/not sorry/trying to lighten the mood... Here's the source!

xD

Yang's gonna be making puns about this eventually (because she's Barb/Yang)
Just how soon is the question

But WOW Velvet is amazing! What talent to be able to learn and, basically, master so many different weapons!

Which just makes me dislike V1's Jaune arc more because it makes that scene with her and Team CRDL in the lunch room all the more ???
Girl you could've totally kicked their asses (and you should've tbh they deserved it)

undervaluing the divine being that is weiss schnee what is this hogwash:

just look at her giving her all and then barely keeping herself upright just like in "Players and Pieces" with the Nevermore she is doing everything she can and I just TTwTT all these tears

Some other thoughts on the summoning:

Metata wrote:
Gaga wrote:So um, is the RWBY manga canon? I think it might be? due to that one podcast and how they discussed the manga.

I ask because in the manga, the Giant Armor is revealed to be possessed by a grimm (there's grimm that possess things btw) and was set up by Father Schnee to forcibly "test" Weiss, since she wanted to go to Beacon instead of Atlas.

We all suspected this due to the many allusions, but still yikes.

It makes it all the more powerful that Weiss' first summons have been of the knight. So much of a "fuck you" to her father with that and ofc the fact that she protected Velvet :3c
STRONG V3C11 SPOILERS BELOW - SERIOUSLY DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE CAUGHT UP:
To a degree I think.

I've seen the idea of Weiss summoning the right arm again for Yang until she's able to get a prosthetic, doubling as practice for her.

I don't think it will happen but the idea is sweet. qwq

Also Necromancer AU:

She barely takes a moment to think... Jaune... You broke her heart... Why did you have to say the right thing back then at such a wrong time!?

I think even if Jaune hadn't said the right thing there this would've played out the same
'cause it's Pyrrha 'Selfless' Nikos we're talkin' about here

DAMMIT JAUNE!!! YOU WERE THERE FOR ONE THING!!! ONE THING!!! ~~Well two things, but the Arkos ship is slowly sinking anyway, so focus on the task at hand!~~

lbr Jaune was going to screw up no matter what he did
And it wouldn't be for lack of trying, Cinder is just real OP
srsly how did she sneak in there without making a single sound does Ozpin keep that door super well oiled or what

There's a chance Jaune would've spotted her before she could make a move, alerted Ozpin, and then Ozpin could deflect the attack... but it doesn't seem very likely.

Jaune's doing everything right these past few episodes and fate's screwing him (and all the protagonists but esp. Blake and Yang) over

To sum up, Jaune fucked up, Cinder is now OP, and Arkos is slowly sinking...

Sinking as in "Pyrrha could very well become a sacrificial lion and die at any moment and I am going to worry about her until the series finale in 2027"?? Otherwise I'm not sure how Arkos is sinking (if anything it's getting stronger; all these hints and scenes together, Jaune appearing to be on the cusp of learning about the Maidens and Pyrrha's role in things)

To sum up everything:

I like how so many people immediately thought of Mary Poppins upon seeing Neo (you and me included), among other things on there

Glad to be of service. :3c

And...I'm not sure I want to see Sun Vs. Adam now after seeing this episode... I mean, we were waiting for Blake and Adam for ages and this is what we get!?

Not a full out vs. because let's face it it probably wouldn't go well for Sun with how unhinged Adam is
But I'd just like to see what would happen if they met and have an exchange before something cuts it short.
Really just want to see hurt/comfort stuff between Bumbleby and Black Sun and Strawberry Sunrise because

Just watched it, and..... my emotions.... Niagara Falls

Rewatching it now to take all of this in, plus provide my thoughts (with screenshots!):

Volume 3, Chapter 12: End of the Beginning:

Wow! Starting off with a bang! Cynder vs. Oz! And Oz is insanely good! O_O

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen11

Hey Vegeta?:

Oh good, they survived at least.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen14

....aaaaaaaaand this is what I was like for most of this episode...

Honestly, I can't remember seeing Weiss so shocked before (though, it's understandable why).

*camera pans down to Zwei*

Zwei's okay! Excited

And the shippers rejoiced! Praise feathers!

...I can't....~~my babies....~~

But the shippers will rejoice once again when they see Blake reaching out for Yang's hand.

But one thing that I gotta ask.... WHY ARE YOU GUYS LEAVING THEM ON THE GROUND AND JUST STANDING THERE STARING AT THEM!?!? I mean, you can tell that they've been treated by medical, but still, think of all the germs and stuff people! Geez...

And then Ruby and Weiss go to look for Pyrrha and Jaune.

Speaking of:

Jaune wrote:Okay, I think I have Glynda's number.

Didn't think much of this, but then I saw this:

Spoiler:

Welp, now you know the outcome of Oz vs. Cinder... EVERYBODY PANIC

Pyrrha determined to set things right...even if it is suicide...

Jaune wrote:Pyrrha, I won't let you do...

AND I REJOICED!!! Squealing

Seriously did not expect her to do that after how the last episode went down!

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen20

Aaaaaaaaand then she shoves him in a locker.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen12

...just hit me that this is the last glimpse of Pyrrha that Jaune will ever see... Niagara Falls

Going up!

Jaune calls Weiss and Ruby (actually, just now realized that he called Weiss, so he had her number... interesting).

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen21

And Jaune is so emotional that he smashes his scroll... I'm seeing emotions from people that I haven't seen before... I don't like this...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen22

Hello beasty!

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen23

Ruby: "I have a plan."
Weiss: "You always do."

When I first saw this, I figured the plan was going to be mainly Ruby kicking butt and Weiss standing by for support.

Spoiler alert: I'm right.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen24

Look at all that smugness...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen25

Again, hello beastie!

Cynder wrote:Shhh.... This is your home now.

....Whut?

And it looks like I'm not the only one going Whut

now.

So, at this point, I'm just dumbfounded by what her plan is right now. Then I had a thought. I'll share it later.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen28

And here we go! Pyrrha vs. Cynder.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen29

Jeez woman! Does your smugness never end?

Pyrrha's holding up okay so far...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen30

O_O HOLY CRAP!!!

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen31

All I wanted was a hug...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen32

Pyrrha manages to get in a headlock.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen33

...Oh shit... ~~and she's still smug as ever...~~

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen14

HAI!!! CAN I COME PLAY TOO!?

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen34

...you know shit is about to get serious when a main character's weapon is broken...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen35

Welp, I hope nobody was needing that clocktower...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen36

Was totally expecting Cynder to just put her foot through Pyrrha's shield.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen37

Oof! That's gonna leave a mark!

Back to Ruby and Weiss:

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen38

Weiss (to Ruby) wrote:You can do this.

See? What did I tell ya?

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen39

Ooo... That's cool, but too OP...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen15

And Pyrrha takes an arrow to the ~~knee~~ shin. ~~I'm so sorry...~~

Pyrrha: "Do you believe in destiny?"
Cynder: "Yes."

So I guess that's just Pyrrha's catchphrase now?

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen16

Okay Ruby, you can come in now...

*Ruby appears right as Cynder shoots Pyrrha in the chest*

...The look on Pyrrha's face with that arrow in her chest is going to haunt me for life now...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen40

...WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS BE A WITNESS TO THESE TRAGEDIES!? Niagara Falls

HOLY SHIT SUMMER MAIDEN CONFIRMED!!! O_O

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen19

Her reaction is priceless here.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen20

Wait... did she just vaporize her!? O_o

And just white.

Uncle Qrow to the rescue!

Qrow: "Ugh... Nothing. Just turn it off. Without the CCT, there's no point."
Taiyang: "Communication down across the entire kingdom, no way to contact the outside world, and Ozpin's still missing."
Qrow: "Yeah."
Taiyang: "This is bad Qrow."
Qrow: "Yeah, this is bad."

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that if any one of the towers go down, all of them go down...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen21

And we finally get Taiyang! Dunspach is Glory!

BTW: Burnie Burns is the voice for Taiyang.

Taiyang wrote:That thing, whatever it is, doesn't seem to be dead. Don't get me wrong, you did a number on it, but it's not disappearing. It's....kind of...frozen. I know that doesn't sound too bad, but it keeps attracting more Grimm to the school.

So, remember that thought I had earlier about Cynder's plan? I think she wanted to kill (or freeze) the dragon so that the grimm would come swarming. So, technically, if I'm right, Ruby just helped Cynder accomplish her goal...

Taiyang: "Things are just... kind of a mess."
Qrow: "It's always a mess."

...Really Qrow?

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen44

Taiyang's annoyed.

Qrow then explains to Ruby a few things.

Interesting how her silver eyes are also apart of another fairy tale.

Oz is the one sending Qrow on his missions, but now that he's gone Qrow sounds like he's taking charge... Wonder what Ironwood and Glynda think of this?

Ruby checks up on Yang:

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen45

...My bby... Niagara Falls

Yang explains that Weiss is back with her father for her "safety" and Blake is basically roaming the streets of Vale now. She sounds so broken inside... I just.... I can't... Niagara Falls

So team RWBY is basically over for now...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen46

Time to join a new team! ~~Please make this mean that Ren and Nora are gonna be main characters now...~~

So it looks like next season is gonna have team RJNR heading to Haven to continue the fight.

Ending narration wrote:A smaller, more honest soul. It's true that a simple spark can ignite hope, breathe fire into the hearts of the weary. The ability to derive strength from hope is undoubtedly mankind's greatest attribute... which is why I will focus all of my power to snuff it out.

Woah woah woah, wait what!? That took a dark turn there...

During the epilogue:

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen47

Oh boy, Ruby didn't tell Taiyang that she was leaving. Just a runaway note...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen48

...wow. Beacon is just...wow.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen49

Is...Glynda trying to rebuild everything by herself or something? Whut

Blaaaaaaaaaaaake...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Wait-onion-head-emoticon

First look at Papa Schnee's face.

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen52

Ruby visiting Summer's grave with JNR.

Back to the epilogue:

How does it feel? Knowing that all of your time and effort has been for nothing? That your guardians have failed you? That everything you have built will be torn down before your very eyes?

Your faith in mankind was not misplaced. When banded together, unified by a common enemy, they are a noticeable threat. But divide them, place doubt into their minds, and any semblance of power they once had will wash away.

Of course, they won't realize it at first. Like you, they'll cling to their fleeting hope, their aspirations. But this is merely the first move. So you send your guardians. Your huntsmen, your huntresses. And when you fail and you turn to your smaller soul, know that you send her to the same pitiful demise.

Hello? Who is this? And why does it look like we're in a far out sci fi world now?

Salem wrote:This is the beginning of the end, Ozpin. And I can't wait to watch you burn.

And credits. First song sound good, second one... Niagara Falls

And final scene:

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen56

So Qrow is watching over Team RJNR. He also has Oz's cane. Interesting...

The World of Remnant - Page 11 Screen57

Wait... HE CAN ACTUALLY TURN INTO A CROW!? O_O

And with that, volume three is in the books.

...Now we have to wait a year or so for volume 4...

I'm not sure what makes a character worthy of adding to site considering Reese was added before Fox and Yatsuhashi despite having roughly the same amount of spotlight as they did (not even getting into Qrow being much more relevant to the plot), but all of the major characters are there.
my results:

Now that Volume 3 is done, I'm gonna be updating my list. Also, when checking the site, they've added more characters.
