Jaune finally has a good landing strategy!
But a bad haircut 😂
I love Qrows face when Clover (AKA Captain America) tells him his semblance is Good Fortune, its animated so well because it reads like "Holy crap I never even considered that could be a thing"
Also, the "Ace Ops" are based on Asops fables. Thats why Clover uses a fishing pole, and its why Hare (AKA the Flash) is super fast because she is the rabbit from the Tortoise and the Hare story.
Ruby's always described her semblance as just 'speed', to Weiss in the Emerald Forest, and then when Nora is telling Oscar everyone's semblances she too just calls it speed.
Beacon taught Ruby that Salem could have agents anywhere. Haven taught her that the agents could be at the very top of the power structures of Remnant. We've seen way, way more of Ironwood than Ruby has. Before Volume 7 I think they only interacted three times; after the Dance party incident, after Yang's disqualification and outside the arena immediately after Penny's death.
Weiss's weapon was already up to "Atlas standards" and didn't need to be upgraded.
The mine is the one Ilia’s parents died in.
Ace-Op (Aesop) allusions:
Harriet - The Hare that lost to the Tortoise
Clover - The Lucky Fisherman
Marrow - The dog with a bone that looked into his reflection and thought the dog in the water had a better bone, so he dropped his into the lake trying to get it
Elm and Vine - a marriage fable about a vine climbing a tree that I don’t know too well
Marrow’s semblance lets him freeze what he’s looking at.
Originally mentioned something about the song played this episode, but the replies rightfully corrected me on it.
Actually the Blake and Qrow song is Brand New Day and that plays in episode 5.
@@pokeloon15 yep, whoops. Touch the Sky reads much more like a general RWBY/ORNJ theme.
how did i never realize Ace-Op = Aesop
Much apeciated. I only know the dog one. It's been over 30 years since i cracked that open. Only one i remember was something about the Grasshopper and the Ants. Where the grasshopper taunts the ants for working hard during the good times. Then the bad times come. The ants survive because they prepared. The grasshopper dies, because WORK HARD OR DIE! Good night. Happy fable. Sleep well.
It's not confirmed to be the mine Ilia's parents died in but it is heavily implied so we can technically assume it is. It's never been stated 100% to be the same one but we have nothing saying it isn't the same one.
Fun Facts
Fact 1: The scene featuring Team RWBY jumping from the Manta gunship is a callback to "The Emerald Forest". Furthermore, Miles Luna states that he wanted Atlas to feel like the Beacon days at first, and first came up with the idea that some Atlas Academy professors would teach them. The idea evolved into mentors, which eventually became the Ace-Ops.
Fact 2: The crates in the Abandoned SDC Mine is intended to bring out Adam Taurus to the forefront of Blake's mind, which is something that Yang notices.
Fact 3: Weiss did not receive a weapon upgrade as Myrtenaster was already perfect for her needs.
Fact 4: The writers were confused when they saw people on Reddit and Tumblr think that there would be a shopping montage in this volume.
Fact 5: The mine is heavily implied to be same mine where Ilia Amitola's parents lost their lives.
Fact 6: The writers have stated that many things that seem like retcons are actually not, just that Miles and Kerry didn't do a good job explaining it the first time while learning how to tell a story while simultaneously telling a story.
Fact 7: The episode originally had a different thumbnail before it was changed to the current one.
Re Fact 3: They needed their gear brought up to "Atlas Standards". Weiss's weapon was already there, since she's originally _from_ Atlas. So, essentially, she *started off* with this upgrade back when she first started training; before even going to Beacon. She started the game with, like, 3rd or 2nd best weapon in the game for her. Only thing better would be the legendary sealed ultimate weapon that can only be found in the final dungeon or from an optional super-boss.
They fought a geist at the beginning of Volume 4. The actual creature is the dark shadow looking thing with the mask... the mask being it's vulnerable part. Geists inhabit inanimate objects to use as a makeshift body.
In this case, dust from a dust mine! (and the rock it was embedded in)
If you notice Yang's design since volume 1 has always been about asymmetry. One side being different from the other.
the gold plating on Blake's weapon is a reference to an old japanese pottery technique. They believe in finding beauty in flaws, so when pottery cracks, they seal the cracks with gold to highlight the cracks that formed when creating it.
it is called kintsugi.
You mean Weiss, isnt it? About asymmetry
@@gohanmoreno7 no, asymmetry is Yang's theme. From her character designs, her yellow trailer quote, her missing arm, etc.
Yang trying to play off getting caught staring by checking the fingernails *on her robotic hand* x3
It's almost like her hyper-confident party girl persona was just an act to fit in, and now she has to deal with someone she actually likes.
The way that my friends and I cheered "JAUNE HAS A LANDING STRATEGY" will forever live in my heart.
4:17 Also, cause I didn't see anyone else mention it in the comments, in Japanese pottery there is a process called "Kintsukuroi",. When a pottery is chipped or damaged, instead of replacing the pot they instead seal the cracks with gold. This makes the damage much more prominent but its seen as adding to the design and strengthening it rather than a scar to be ashamed of.
My Grandmother used to do Kintsukuroi as a hobby to help repair her vases and vases for her friends when they asked and she passed away a few months before volume 7 was released so seeing Blake's weapon and the design really connected deep with me.
8:05 That's where Ilia's parents got killed.
For reference guys;
Clover Ebi; Fishing pole guy, good luck semblance
Marrow Amin; Boomerang guy, time slowing semblance (sort of, he doesn't really freeze time, just whoever he's looking at)
Harriet "Hare" Bree; Exo-skeleton gauntlets, superspeed semblance
Vine Zeki; Throwing star, extendable arms semblance
Elm Ederne; Rocket hammer, aura roots semblance
The geist grimm they fought here is one you've seen before, we saw one in the opening of volume 4, in the forest. It's basically a grimm ghost that can inhabit and control pieces of the environment. It's also the same kind of grimm that possessed the knight armor that Weiss defeated in her original trailer and forms the basis of her knight summon.
The mine they fought in is the same one Ilia's parents died in.
Almost everyone gets an upgrade to their kit, except Weiss, who clearly doesn't need one, and Blake, who has her weapon repaired instead, specially using a japanese method called kintsugi, usually used to fix ceramic items, which uses gold to fill the join. Notably, this method is NOT designed to disguise or hide the repair, and treats it instead as a part of the items history.
5:25 Smooth Yang is smooth xD
So you guys remember the rock Grimm that team RNJR fought back in volume 4? Well this is the ice version of that.
In reality it is not that there is an "ice version" it is simply that the Geist can make a body based on the things around him, he has ice because they are in a frozen cave in Atlas
@@Zizu5688 Yeah I just thought it would be easier to explain it like that.
His arm is a tree! His arm is a tree!
Everyone's brought up that the Geist is the same one Team RNJR fought at the beginning of V4, which is indeed true, but no one's mentioned how Weiss' armor summon is also a Geist; the armor set she defeated in the White Trailer was possessed by a Geist as well.
So, that comment from Harriet about Ruby's semblance? Keep that it mind, it'll come back up later.
Tis also a bit of foreshadowing if you reeeeally think about it ;)
Qrow's semblance has pros and cons as he said when he first told RNJR what it was around the campfire after the first fight with Tyrion. It's always active so it's great when he's fighting an enemy and they are suffering from bad luck, but since he can't control it or turn it off then it can also cause friends or family to experience bad luck too, putting them in danger. That second part is why he views his semblance the way he does; if something bad happens around him he immediately thinks his semblance is to blame and he starts blaming himself for putting people he's close to in danger. He views himself to sometimes be more of a liability in team missions.
Golem: Yeah, we get that a lot.
Gollum: We hates it!
Geist: Boo.
The Grimm (transformer as y’all called it) in the mine was a Geist, the same type of Grimm that Ruby, Jaune, Nora, and Ren killed in the first chapter of Volume 4 when they saved that first village.🎉
“Its arm is a Tree! ITS ARM IS A TREE!…” Jaune V4-C1 😂
Ruby knows that Oz and Qrow, who DO know Ironwood really well, don't trust him enough to tell him, so why should she?
12:52 Yes, that's a ship.
Ah yes…the makeover episode
I love how the Ace Ops theme sounds like a comic book superhero movie soundtrack.
The main Grimm they fight in this was the same as RNJR fought in the first episode of Volume 4. The giant rock monster with the Grimm face mask that when removed revealed the geist.
As this video is uploaded, it is the last weekend before the Rooster Teeth website and apps shut down for good on May 15 (ironically, it’s also Weiss’ birthday - talk about a need to regift!)
You’re asking a lot of good questions, but answers will not come until later due to the events yet to be seen.
I should point out the Ace Operatives, or Ace Ops, is a literal pun - as they are all based on Aesop’s Fables. Get it?
Clover - the leader, with the good fortune Semblance, you call him Captain America, he is based on the tale “A Fisherman’s Good Luck.”
Marrow - the dog Faunus, with darker skin, the boomerang weapon and the Stay Semblance. He is based on the take “A Dog and His Reflection.”
Harriet - the Flash, speedster character. She is based on “The Tortoise and the Hare.”
Elm - the thick skinned woman with the large hammer.
Vine - the stoic, Vision like, Mr. Fantastic ability using character. Both of these two are named after the tale “The Elm and the Vine.”
We wait now, as RT closes its doors after 21 years, to see what happens with RWBY - the creators did say talks with other parties are going well but no info has leaked yet.
Also, after the next episode, you are free to watch both Justice League x RWBY Part One ONLY (do NOT try to watch Part 2 yet - you must wait until much later in the series), and the events of the video game RWBY: Arrowfell are also now free to experience. It takes place between Chapters 4 and 5 of Volume 7.
Harriett did an electric version SHOR-RYU-KEN!!!!
The mine they were in was where Illia’s parents died.
Also I love how Bethany said she would be background dancing if she won the lottery like she wouldnt be the center of attention XD
To put another perspective, take Qrow or Pietro, both know Ironwood for far longuer than Ruby, Qrow said that he don't know if they should meet him in episode 1 while Pietro talk about Ironwood paranoia... that really don't help to trust him for someone like Ruby.
When you realize the mine they were in was the same one Adam was Branded for, and where Illia’s parents died….😮
I work at a place that covers several types of industries but all of them require us to interact with the general public daily. As a result, we at the company have a policy, answer questions the best we can but there is still information you don’t tell a guest. Like if an attraction is down for maintenance; we can tell them it’s down for maintenance but we don’t give specifics, details, or estimated timeframes of when that will be completed. Usually due to not knowing but even if we do. There’s always that chance that something else could happen. I think Ruby is doing the same thing and Ironwood is doing what’s called oversharing. If you know that strong emotions, specifically negative emotions draw the Grimm causing a citywide panic is not the answer to your relieving your feelings of guilt over what happened at Beacon. Going into a full on panic induced total lockdown of the borders is not the answer either.
Good guys with superpowers can have different kinds of motivation IYKWIM)
You're seen a Geist like this before though : o Volume 4.
Ace ops (Aesops) are all based on fables. Lucky fisherman, tree and vine, dog and his reflection, and hare
As a huge New Warriors fan. I appreciate the shout out.
This is gonna be really good I like how they leveled up they got new stuff It's a really good episode They're showing what they can do
The one thing I thought about with your reaction of trust with Ruby and Ironwood, was what was the first thing Oscar said to Crow after they got the lamp? "He said (Ozpin) We have to get the lamp to atlas." so did professor Ozpin trust Ironwood
the mine disaster was the disaatser was where illia's parents died and that ghost dust ice golem like you called it is the same grim team rnjr did fight in the opening of volume 4 its a gesut who can posses things
Still loving this series so much guys 😁
Love the discussion in this episode!
Next chapter, you guys are going to celebrate a glorious occasion as well as hate someone even more then usual.
Season two has to be my favorite intro
Every intro is a banger though, lets be real.
- actually, that's not Winter when the holo-image of Ironwood gets disrupted in the opening, but saying who it is is a bit of a spoiler. It'll come out in a few episodes.
- and the Dog faunus triggers his semblance with the command 'stay'. 😄
- It's a Geist (German for ghost) RNJR fought one of these Grimm back at the start of Vol 4. It started with a body made of boulders; when they destroyed an arm it replaced it with a dead tree. Also shows up in occasionally in later volumes of RWBY Chibi.
- not Gollum, Bethany. Golem. Originally a magical clay 'robot'/protector from Hebrew mythology, though D&D and other such games have expanded on the possible base materials significantly over the years. A golem is in essence a magical robot capable of following simple command from it's creator. so it's not a perfect fit for the Geist's body, but close enough.
- DC does have a Captain Boomerang. He's a Flash Villain from Australia. No superpowers, just a lot of trick boomerangs like Green Arrow's/Hawkeye's arrows.
- As others commentors have said, the Ace Ops are based on Aesop's Fables. The best know one is probably 'the Tortoise and the Hare' (honestly, the only one I really know, though I had partial recollection of the dog one)
- 'Captain America' is named Clover (as in a 4 leaf clover). Speedster is Harriet (hare, natch), and dog guy is Marrow, (his inspirational fable involves a bone)
- Ruby and others have often referred to her semblance as speed based (because it does let her move around fast) but yeah there's a lot more her semblance is capable of. like limited flight bursts, spitting to go around an obstacles/fit thru small spaces, and carrying others along with her in Petal form.
- On trusting Ironwood: Ruby and Co have had their trust in authority shaken since the fall of Beacon first by Headmaster Leonardo siding with Cinder/Salem, and then the revelations about Oz/Salem. Is Ruby making the best choice? Maybe not, but she's only what, 16? 17 at most.
- "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals and you know it."
- another example of good motivations, bad execution: Magneto from X-Men. He wants to protect his people from being destroyed, a noble goal. Starting a race war is not the best way to go about that.
Fine chapter..... Seeing the Ace-ops in action was coolness. And Qrow hitting it off with Clover (Cap't America) was a needed boost for him.
Blake and Weiss's interactions in the mine really felt natural and heartfelt. But, Ren was off to me...... What's up with him?
Speaking of bad vibes, Tyrian..,. Why strike down that guy?!? What are you up to????
And great post chapter discussion!! Trust is a twoway street that's hard to cross and even harder to drive on, I think.
Thanks again, Ken & Beth..... See you guys next week!! STAY GOLDEN, FOLKS!! 🫡🌹❄️🖤🔥
AND PS.....For RWBY and everything else over your 21 years, thank you Rooster Teeth!! 🥲👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I love the DC/Marvel comparison you guys made but the Ace Ops are actually referencing the Ace Ops fables like the tortoise and the “hare” so look to those for inspiration
Bethany, Gollum was the little guy in LoTR (so-called because of the noise he habitually made in his throat). The Golem is a monster from Hebrew folklore, basically a clay statue magically animated by a scroll ('chem') placed inside its head that caused it to seek revenge for its creator...you could think of it as a dark-ages Terminator. D&D has elaborated that many different materials can be used to fashion the body, such as flesh or iron and I don't know what-all.
To be fair usually Golem is pronounced with a stronger "o" than Gollum which helps to differentiate them.
Think back to Volume 4 chapter 1. Remember when Juane crowned his webos on the tree? Your the strategist. It is a Geist, but this time using stone and dust deposits instead of a tree.
That's the mind where alias parents died in
I love Nora’s new outfit but sad she cut her hair
I absolutely love the expression work this volume. I feel like this was the team flexing in Maya and from now on really having control over it. Yang, Blake, and Ruby have some really pensive looks. Also, for Captain America, I'd just like to give him some kudos. Anyone with infinite good luck could go far in life, been an Ace Op in the world's top military easy. But he's also a great leader and seems like a good guy. If maybe a bit... curt and plain sometimes. xD
Also rewatching, Harriett seeing Ruby's semblance is different, she probably saw Ruby use her semblance in slow motion because Harriett was using hers too. So she probably saw exactly what happened :)
Yeah I can't wait for the next time they mention Ruby's Semblance. It's a priceless moment
I think, if you look carefully, you'll note that the face in the opening titles that appears after the stone is thrown through Ironwood's is not Winter, but her father.
your answer for captain Boomerang would be dc's suicide squad I can't remember if any marvel character who was called boomerang
Marvel’s Boomerang is a Spider-man villain.
Also the damn porn bot comment spam is mad annoying. Youd think youtube would crack down on that.
i would go like- captain america, captain boomerang, spider-man, she-hulk and the flash
I feel like you guy would really enjoy the Red VS Blue series Roster Teeth also made before RWBY. Which is a comedy set in their version of the Halo universe.
So there's actually a ship for Qrow and Clover called Fair Game
Great reaction, liked the analysis at the end. Looking forwards to your next one!
qrow def does look like hes in love with clover lol
damn she is cooking on the intro analysis!
There's another Rooster Teeth series called Camp Camp.
You know how Shanks from One Piece got a part time job being Gildarts from Fairy Tail? Well... Clover is basically the part-time job of a character named David from Camp Camp.
"He looks like he's in love". Lol, actually, the fans went *CRAZY* thinking they were gonna be a thing. But when it didn't happen, they got pissy and called it "Queer Baiting". The fandom is.....something else... *Especially* when it comes to shipping.
Now you can guess ace ops is based on the story writer....I think acropolis or something.....so stories he made are.. tortoise and the hare, dogs reflection, lucky fisherman and the goat and the vine.....so guess who is who.....also not freeze time.... command.....the name of marrow's semblance
Aesop’s ( ace ops ) fables.
@@emanymton713 thank you....
On the topic of Ironwood (I don't remember if this was discussed before): his semblance is.... dumb, to stay polite. Some fan more knowledgeable will tell you what it is in detail, I would do a poor job at that.
Honestly I wouldn't even talk about it till later. It isn't super relevant yet.
17:25 Neither. Whether you're talking about Clover or the actual Captain America.
And Ruby will never use that new weapon functionality again.
She does it's just not focused on ever again. Cuz ya know... realistically she needs to do it very fast.
@@undeathghost5627 Can you say where? The issue is the modification completely kills her momentum unless she wants to hit her target with the back of her scythe AFTER attacking with the front.
@@Kaylakaze Unfortunately I don't have specific examples of the top off my head. You are right though. It's a fairly niche, situational upgrade that only helps her in certain situations. Thing is, with a weapon like hers it's biggest weakness is when someone approaches her when her blade is faced the wrong way so in that regard this is an upgrade that makes sense for her, even if it is niche
@@undeathghost5627 I suppose. BTW, I wasn't asking about examples because I wanted proof but because I actually wanted to see how it was used since I can't think of any good time when it would have been. Just felt I'd clear that up because it may have seemed like I was challenging you when I asked for examples and I didn't want to leave that impression.
I have a weird request it's a sequel to a reaction you did two years ago called Luna's reply
Qrow and Clover ship name: "Fair Game"
Im wondering when you guys are going to finish Fallout Storyteller. You're almost done and it's about to get really good!!!!
I cant believe they killed off iconic character Forrest at the end there, truly a tragedy.
Justice for Forrest. Also the Pilot from Volume 5. That man deserved so much better
00:16:50 Don't remember ever noticing this before, but Tyrion's eyes changed from yellow to purple. Wonder if it's linked to how insane he is at any given time or something.
His eyes go purple when he's ready to release venom.
Nah, it seems to be related to him preparing to use his venom. His venom is the same shade of purple.
It’s related to his semblance and I think they did it this way to help illustrate it better
@@corybalitewicz1941 Not quite. Yes his eyes glow purple when he uses his semblance but it's his entire eyes that glow. Here it's just his iris which is when he releases the venom.
Hi friends
Quick question
Does anyone here ship Qrow and Clover? Or am I the only one
Also does anyone realize that Ren and Juane never used dust
Also yeng is just a super saiyan
As her semblance
In Volume 8, someone will expand on Ruby's semblance, but they're wrong because everything they say is stupid and it's one of the big examples of how terrible the writers are, the stupidity of the Amity Colosseum plan being another example. It's stupid people trying to write smart people coming up with clever plans.
why do you watch so many of these if you don't like it?
@@armzngunz Because I like RWBY and I like reactions to RWBY. That, to me, is all the more reason to call it out when the writers do something stupid. If I didn't care, I wouldn't bother.
@@Kaylakaze it's a bit weird going on peoples reaction videos just to rant about a show though
@@armzngunz I don't go on people's reaction videos just to rant about a show. I watch people's videos and then comment, when relevant, that the writers do stupid things.
@@Kaylakaze i'm sorry, but all the negativity just comes off as obnoxious
I think Ironwoods plan is a very important reason for why Team RWBY should tell Ironwood, at least that Salem can not be destroyed.
Because that seems like such a critical piece of information, that Ironwood should have before pulling the trigger on letting the world know.
That said, they still have time. They still need to prepare Amity before sending the message… But either way they should still be getting global communication working again… Of course let, him know before he goes further, but it’s not exactly important yet… Also what if he abandons the plan and does something else crazy instead if he knows now?
That’s not to say you are wrong, but I think there are pros and cons to both sides.
So a couple of things, one of which you bring up, that just felt off about this chapter for me.
One, Ruby questions how they were going to fight the geist, which has been counter to how she has been in the past. She looks at the situation and quickly comes up with a plan. She's done that all the way back in V1C8 for reference. So to see her confused and questioning "how" just feels off for her.
Now, some might say that it is due to EVERYTHING that she has gone through. The mental trauma that she has gone through is catching up... but I just feel like there could have been a better way of showing it. Because now it just like the boosting of the Aceops is cheap when you show Ruby struggling. Like Yang would have LOVED to get into the fight, as she often does, so having her be on the sideline, again feels like the boosting of the Aceops as cheap.
Two, forced sudden potential love interest between Qrow and Clover. I say forced because Qrow has ALWAYS been a ladies man throughout the ENTIRE series. From skirt length, to top shelf, it has been shown that he has enjoyed the company of ladies. To have the sudden shift is out of character. Unless RWBY makes Qrow, Yang AND Blake be Bisexual, it just feels... off. I know that the LGBT community loves the inclusion, and I have no problem with it, I would just like a little more character consistency in these later Volumes, especially when they have shown establishing thought lines in the beginning Volumes.
But, then you have to bring up character development. I would consider character development as establishing their foundation of who the character is in the beginning, and then building up from there. Yang and Blake developing feelings for each other, no problem, but do you lose the foundation of them liking guys as well? (Shown in previous volumes) Qrow being good friends with Clover, no problem, like a Frodo and Sam friendship, no problem. But a Qrow and Clover relationship? When has Qrow shown ANY interest in guys prior? There wasn't any foundation prior.
I can get behind Yang and Blake being bisexual, due to Yang having excitement about a "slumber party" with the guys all the way back in Volume 1, and Blake's relationships with Adam and Sun. CRWBY could set up a Yang-x-Blake-x-Sun relationship if they wanted. And based on the past foundations, I could see it.
I can't really see Qrow turning bisexual... no real foundation in the past.
If anyone wants to counter, that's fine, I don't mind a good healthy friendly debate, not sure how much my mind can be changed, but I don't mind if someone feels like they see something else that I might have missed or feel differently about.
Scorpion guy kill Eric Boudour. Bad show
Ehhh... I know what bs is coming and I'm not enjoying it. But so far most things are ok.
