I'm impressed by the fact that the alarm rings exactly one minute after she sets it.
Nice catch. But due to the slow mo near the end, it likwly ended 1 second early
it's certainly not five minutes on namek timing lol
@@RonquixoteDIII nigga wut?
@@orangesoda4535 it's a Dragon Ball Z reference.
I'm impressed that an old clock like that is so accurate
Oh wow... the fight LITERALLY lasted 60 seconds! That's some good animation consistency!
Right
The only consistency you will find for the most part
But maria doesn't die at 60 second, just losing her eye tho
@@cockitchy4434 Technically, her life as 'The Grimm Reaper' ended. Even if 'Maria' got away, even if she killed every one of those directly responsible, she never recovered to the point of continuing her life as a Huntress.
@@papounator8843 actually there's also character and lore consistency, even if *some* people don't see it
Someone once said that Tock’s semblance should be named “minute to win it”
I like that idea
Got min to kill it every secs counts
I like Scales of Fear better.
Semblance power: For 60s, grants the user insane strength and speed, but once the 60s is up, the user's aura breaks
@@NinjaAO42 Don't forget her Aura is invulnerable during that time.
@@joshuarobinson8529 invulnerable why doesn't she just wear a bomb that blows up and kills whatever's in that range.

I like how Ruby wanted to become like her Uncle Qrow as Qrow wanted to be like Maria

Anybody else think that Volume 6 is a MASSIVE improvement over the last two volumes?
Me
There's nobody that will argue against that lol
I completely agree, it's way better than volume 4 and especially volume 5
I think so. But that doesn't mean that last two were bad. Their consept wasn't fighting, so there wasn't this much cool fights. They were meant to be filled with character evolution.
@@substidude285 ehhhhhh
First of all, and you might know this, Tock is a reference of Tick Tock Croc. Second of all, this is one of the most badass fights I've ever seen.
Tick Tock, Tick Tock, feed the croc. ⏰🐊
If this is tick-tock croc then is the girl Captain Hook but instead of taking her hand she took her eyes
Tock is oddly attractive for a Crocodile Faunus
@@kidprime6863is it her metal grills or her attire?
@@gamer_kitsune2023 Both
Her screams of pain scare the shit out of me every time, they are so emotional and well done!
At least she survives with Some protestic eyes. so she can see it's just she lost her silver eyes
@@PrincessTwilightdash yes lmao i watched the show i am quite aware, that doesn't change the fact that it must be extremely painful getting your eyes slashed out on top of knowing you're probably about to die
@@PrincessTwilightdash ...and then you realize she first had to stumble back to civilization from Bumfuck Nowhere while wounded and completely blind, with no powers and half a weapon, all without getting shanked, lost, or eaten by Grimm.
Maria is a goddamn badass.
I think she’s crying from the pain too :( sends shivers down my spine
Goodbye, Crocodile Tracer. You'll live on in our hearts, and RWBY's r34 page
Eeeeeew
She won't even be there-
Not that I would know, of course, haha...
Still no rule34 on her

Scythe wielders are awesome
Chang my mind
No your right scythe wielders are pretty badass
Jomel Toledo why thank you
well... polearm fighters are really awesome for me, but maria covers it too, just attach both scythes together and there you have it!
Jorge Javier Baroudi Ortiz I see
< Umbrella wielders
Is it bad that aa soon as Tock slashed at Maria's eyes, I yelped out in shock?
Poor Maria 😭😭
dragonfrost04 Not at all, I yelped too, on the inside
dragonfrost04 nope and her screaming in pain was horrible
I literally scream when that happen.
I was very upset
@@hyacinthnightshade6348 Her voice actress is really good to convey the painful screams.
The fight choreography has been AMAZING this volume and nobody will tell me otherwise.
@Silver Twilight Then you're blind lol
@Silver Twilight god you had me worried lol.
Too bad Monty's team fight is still better. These guy just go at her one by one at a time. Seriously? Coordinate your attack better
@@noodleexpanding3407 Monty was a prodogy. There is likely never going to be someone like him again. If you compare any fight choreo to Montys you're going to continue to be disappointed. You should look at this for what it is and the amazing things it does in regards to fight choreo instead of comparing. You'll be a lot happier. This fight was extremely well done Monty or not.
@@simplymad6283 I certainly can compare it to Monty because these are fights from the same show. Not if I compare it to Naruto or some other show that would be unfair. Plus if fans complain the company might see it and actually try to invest some money to hire a good choreographer, so it's really a win win situation for both sides. Idk if they can find someone as good as Monty but they certainly can find someone better than this. The goons guys might as well be some punching bag thrown at Maria's way. They barely did anything. Fast paced + crazy camera angle does not equal good fights
So let me get this straight:
Tock’s semblance is “Crocodile”. Basically everything a crocodile has; huge teeth, hard skin, ravenous ferocity and strength. The drawback is that her semblance is crazy limited (hence the ticking alarm clock) and when it’s down she’s vulnerable. That’s why she said at the end “That was a close call...”. It makes sense though since crocodilians have poor stamina and rely on short burst of speed and power to take down their prey but when out of the water they’re sitting ducks. Clever character design
Nah, I beleive she's just a crocodile faunus, hence the scaly skin and sharp teeth. Her Semblance (whatever its name is) just makes her completely invulnerable for 60 seconds once she triggers it but it drains all of her aura in the end. Makes sense as she's based on Tick-Tock the Croc.
@@lilsnowyleopard751 her semblance doesn't have a name. but we all want it to be called "minute to win it"
Her semblance is not the reason for her Crocodile appearance. She's just a Crocodile Faunus, her Semblance is actually Invulnerability. Makes her invulnerable but for a minute.
Esork Gonzalez true but my idea sounded cooler :/
@@dracosol4415 it did lol
Perfect use of power scaling with the Nevermore. RWBY and crew put their all into fighting one and it took the combined killing blow from Weiss and Ruby to decapitate it. Maria is able to redirect the birds flight mid air by over powering something that massive with her weapons ability.
And is Coco who kill 3 un few seconds
Ooh that slash is eye watering even years on. Like, this croc assassin will probably only exist for like 2 minutes of screen time, but she knows exactly where to make her one opening count. Could've finished the job if not for the proud monologuing too.
And Maria took on a Nevermore, 3 bandits, and a powered up assassin, and sustained just one, unfortunately very severe injury. Thats kind of amazing.
When you realize Tok is based off of the crocodile from Peter Pan, or at least took some inspiration from it.
I already know
Red Mogeko most rwby characters are inspired by fairy tales
Red Mogeko XD, I thought she had parts of a shark!!! XD, one of my dumbest moments in my life
Edward Ryan Villanueva sharks don't have scales
@Miguel Hernandez There shouldn't have to be a follow-up to that.
The fact maria was able to keep up with 3 dudes and an enhanced individual (no clue what tocks semblance is other than super speed for 60 seconds) for 55 seconds is a statement to how amazing of a fighter she was
It was invulnerability I think, meaning she wasn't able to be damaged
I sort of wish we’d gotten more of Tock. Her weapons are literally just swords, no guns or dust, yet she manages to outdo Maria. And there’s her gimmick that I assume is an unbreakable aura for sixty seconds, which is really cool.
You don't need anything more than swords with a semblance that strong. Aura isn't just for defense, it affects offense aswell.
She's not just invincible for 60 seconds, she's unstoppable for 60 seconds.
@@Riku70X And if you have mobility semblance you can simply stay away for this minute and than finish her off.
@@wojciechwerner8787
I mean, yeah duh. Obviously it has flaws, since Tock is fucking dead.
@@Riku70X :)
Her semblance is Reflexes, but she couldn't see that, the irony. More than that what happened with her aura?
Edit: Oh fuck, this is so well fucking done! When she was kicked her aura went off!!! Rooster Teeth congratulations, finally this season is lit!!!!
she was actually in a position where she could do nothing but yeah she could sacrifice an arm or something to be cut instead of the eyes.
Aura off means semblance can't be used.
@@creedjeremy That is not entirely true. Many characters used their semblance without aura, Blake, Raven, Qrow, even Weiss. But yeah it could be an explanation.
@UCTRupBUIUdM4E-PNZsliMeA I was talking about Maria hahaha. But yeah Tock's Semblance is that.
I assumed it was because Tock’s time related semblance was so fast, it could negate her reflex semblance since Tock was the only one actually hitting her
I love how they do character they are largely inspired by other characters, and it’sa good base line for inspiration and it’s always interesting how they change the character into their own image. And having the monsters be called grim and the best huntress fighting them called the grim reaper wow
Damn RWBY is getting dark
I like it
I think "brutal" would be a better term to use. RWBY has always been very dark. If you don't believe me, just listen to the lyrics of most of their songs.
@@firekingM101 same
you are kind of late XD
its been getting dark since vol2 ended
It's been dark since vol 3
I don't know why but I find that faunus lady with the Brit accent really cute.
Agreed.
Short haired girls ftw
Her voice 😍
Its an Aussie accent
@@quinnlewis1753 It's definitely British
I need to cosplay as the Grimm Reaper now
I was also thinking the same thing.💜 I love the skull mask that Maria was wearing.
With or without the eyes lol
Its easier if you already have tanned skin. This is the cosplay almost all tanned asians are waiting to wear lol.
@@izzdin6228 Well southamericans too ^^
Most likely better fitting for south Americans, Heck the Mask ect are plays on Dia de los muertos XD
@@anblueboot5364 good call
One of the best fights in RWBY and its for a throw away villain and an old lady
I think this is THE best fight scene in volume six. You can really feel the weight in their movements, especially the way Maria swings her scythes.
You know Tock's henchmen aren't dead so it's a miracle Maria managed to run away before they woke up.
I find it enjoyable to superimpose the Tock fight scene with the track 'The Brotherhood Escapes' from Assassin's Creed Brotherhood; same bpm and everything.
@Miguel Hernandez you again? Can you please leave?
I love how they incorporated the ticking of the clock into the music to up the tension.
I didn't know I could love a character with barely any time to actually bond with them over the screen. Good job Roosterteeth!!
Really starting to respect how good the animation of this series is and just how much it improved since the pilot.
One of the most powerful yet understated scenes in the RWBY series. I do hope that by the end of the series that Maria gets one more moment of glory. One truly fitting of the 'Grimm Reaper'. 😎👍🌹
This is one of the coolest moments in RWBY! I love the look of the Grimm Reaper and her weapons are just Genius. I love that they use gravity dust to attract each other (I think lol idk really) and how the purple gives such a cool lens flare. I love the blue and purple color scheme, I love the misty setting, and I love the Reaper's fighting style. The clock ticking down as the fight progressed was amazing direction and the way Maria took her down was fantastic. Also the light coming from the mask looks so cool! I wish they would do more with her!!!
Did anyone else thought that Tock was just basically Vernal’s reused model?
Not vernal, but I'm pretty sure most people get what you're saying, I saw it immediately too
Big Butch Energy
I LOVE the ticking of the clock.
This is also in my opinion one of the best animated fights. And by that I mean:
1. The consistency with the time
2. Story wise one of the most haunting battles I'd say. (I still get chills watching it)
and 3. I think this battle sort of "emulated" Monty's style in animating battles the best (sobs)
I'm not an expert on Monty's style of course but my main points as to why it emulates Monty's animation style for fights are:
1. This battle first showed what Maria can do. Like what can her weapons do. Her weapons have gravity dust so she can "levitate" for a bit. What is her fighting style like. And they showed it with the Nevermore. Also Tock said "your last 60 seconds" so this means her semblance has sth to do with time. (and they kept it within the time)
2. The background is always moving. Be it an attack. A charge. And etc. The background is aways moving with the characters movements. Showing weight and some heavy dynamic with their strikes.
(Again I'm not a professional. These are just some things I noticed. Feel free to add more.)
It took me an embarrasingly long time to realize that she set the timer because she could only hold her semblace for a minute... 😓
'The only reason my master wants you dead is because of your eyes' I wonder what would happen if Silver eyes were used on Salem.
I think that they may have been. She somehow got this cracks between flashback and present. I also noticed that we never saw her walk she always float. That make me think that her feets may be stone, permamently.
I love the ticking in the background to give the fight more tension
Especially considering it was exactly one minute.
So basically tocs semblance is 60 seconds of invincibility and buffs
fuck, the end was just brutal.
also i love how she uses her wapon as both a grab, back stab and even dash. It's very creative imo
But like... those drums though! Pure genius how it’s lined up with the ticking and the animation!
Her 1st & last mistake....turning her back on the Reaper's weapon. But also talking too much to her victim, giving miss Calavera the advantage.
I love how Rooster Teeth gave us the crocodile from Peter Pan complete with ticking clock.
This fight is deff one of the best seance season 3. Maybe top 3 for sure l.
Most probably know but Tock’s power is that she is able to surround herself in super hard aura for a minute effectively making her invulnerable. Whenever Maria hit her during that minute you’d see her get staggered slightly but her scythes couldn’t penetrate. It effectively lets Tock fight as a mad berserker for as long as its active
Maria still won lol
Tock:Of course I do you are the grimm repaer. And these are the last fifty seconds of your life.
*Tock dies*
Me: Right back at you.
Even though this is the only time you ever saw her,I honestly fell in love with Tock and her accent 😍
Brutal and awesome fight! These two deserve the same respect as warriors. A shame for Maria's eyes, those were one hell of a weapon against the Grimm.
Maria, young and old is the fuckin best
I would love to see a spin off series about her, be it a show, comics or book series. a game would be a great angle too, but definitely too much to hope for
I wish they they actually knew how to use Maria as a character in the current story instead of just sending her to space
That is some top notch acting, music, and fighting choreography👏👏
Epic show
"I don't think you realize who I am"
*gets rekt in literally a minute
AnniMu well, she did go against 3 henchman and (basically) a mini-boss who had invincibility for a straight minute
she still won tho
I timed her timing with a stopwatch. IT WAS EXACTLY 60 SECONDS!
I don't remember this boss fight in Darksiders 2?
I always found the opening shot at 0:02 to be one of the best hooks ever. Just dripping in style.
This is my favorite fight scene in the whole show and I've watched this exactly 37 times :)
This is my second time watching this and I just realized the bandit said “ I’m afraid it comes with a price.” What’s the price?!
Probably being hunted down like an animal because of this
Her life.
Ok while I absolutely love this fight scene, can we admire the scream she made when she lost her eyes. That was really good acting!
Apparently she utilized her contraction pain to help make the scream
When Maria’s eyes were cut, I felt that scream😱
So if Faunus (at least to my knowledge) have one specific animal trait and Tock's are her scales, then does that imply that she manually filed down her teeth? Because that would be cool
They look like they're metal, which might be even cooler.
I think it's just up to chance like normal genetics, and on average most end up with only one trait but I think it may vary depending on whether both parents are faunas or only one. The main thing that matters is whether the faunas genes are dominant or recessive, or maybe some traits are stronger than others.
Imagine how much she'd aid the team if she was still like this
She has one at least, maybe we may see her fight somewhat
Who else was counting the seconds when the fight began?
I kinda wish tock lived so we could see more of her character. She’s so badass!!
It was a pretty cool fight scene between Maria, Tic Tok and the useless.
Edit: Only question, why didn't she use her silver eyes to stop the Nevermore when it first appeared? It clearly froze in midair when she finally used them.
In the newest episode, Maria explains its where she was trying to keep the eyes hidden.
@@sonictonyrocks She doesn't do a very good job though if SHE herself knows she is a legend but wants to hide her abilities. Plus she uses them anyways.
Maria’s blood curdling screaming after losing her eyes STILL haunts me from how BRUTAL it was
Slow down and pause in the middle of Tocks swing at 2:47/2:48 and you can see Maria's blood.
OOOOWWWWW
Seriously, it's a shame that in Volume 7 and 8, she didn't get much screen time
I'm not saying I hate it.. but RT wasted her potential talent in the story
That's been a recurring thing with RWBY since the beginning. They make side characters that look just as much if not MORE interesting than the main cast, and you never see them again rip
It is amazing that she could fight in such a long dress.
the animations no monty but fuck this is a super great fight scene (all throughout the volume really) who are the animators?
I think Melanie Stern worked on this fight. I know that Miles wrote it and is super proud of it.
It's a shame that we didn't see Tock for that long, I feel like they could have done more with her.
Getting darksiders 2 death vibes from her in terms of fighting style
I KNOW! Although Death would facepalm at how she lost her eyes
*Death:* Oh, come on!
Feels like volume 1 and 2 again
Favorite fight and weapon in the series so far... The gravity dust usage is just too cool
Why do I feel like tock is tyrain's girlfriend or something. Lol
He never met her and she's dead
Miguel Hernandez got damn that was savage.... but true.
Miguel Hernandez oh buddy I know all too well. Had this psycho when i used to be on tumblr call me racist and assumed I was a “gency” shipper because I said that majority of pharmercy shippers are psycho in the overwatch tags. They went on a whole spiel about me when I literally said some are psycho not all and they said were 27 and took care of their elderly mother so I told them “go take care of mommy instead of crying on the internet over a fictional ship. I bet she must be proud of you.” And then she said I was harassing her and using her personal life against her. This bitch even went as far as going after me on Twitter it was wild.
Miguel Hernandez I’m not sure but a lot of people are straight up retarded to the point where they should be put down. I joined when I was in like 11th grade when it was cool and had it for like 6 years. Had over a 1,000 followers and was kind of infamous on there because I didn’t have time for these idiots bullshit. Deleted it back in September because I’m pretty anti social person on top of not using it much like I did when I was a teenager and in school. I’ve outgrown social media tbh I’m boring like I only have a Facebook to talk to my family outside of the US and Twitter for stupid random thoughts. But Have you ever heard of otherkin??? Oohohohoo boyyy
The thing is this scene takes place probably 40 years before present day so Tyrian probably wasn’t born yet or art of Salem’s faction at the time
@3:32
Maria: You’re Oum Damned Right!!
Croc: Wha?
Maria: (presses button) TIME TO GET REAPED!!!
Croc: (gets impaled in the back then beheaded)
Little Ruby has a tendency to meet with Grim Reapers it seems.
Wow that was intense 🤯🤯
I wanna see prime maria against tyrian
Just the funny realization that years later she would shrink to a small old lady only the size of her younger self's knee height XD
The world of RWBY has a terrifying aging process it seems.
I hazard to guess that using the silver eyes takes energy since ruby passes out before and in ticks words there is an implication that it took something out of her
Also tocks semblance is insanely powerful
And Maria is such a good fighter, she managed to ultimately win a fight heavily outnumbered and fighting someone who literally couldn’t be killed
Also how did she not know that last attack was coming
Which she? Tock or Maria? In the case of Maria, it happened pretty fast and she got headbutted pretty hard. In the case of Tock, well, when have you seen a blind person find their dropped weapon?
@@mistressofdreams6031 I think Maria got duped by her own Semblance/preflexes. Essentially, her semblance flagged the moving blades which took her attention away from Tock, as well as biting her weapon and headbutting her being unconventional. You can see Maria's head subtly turn to watch what Tock is doing with her sword rather than watch Tocks face which I think was a smart intentional ploy by Tock as there'd be no other reason to grind weapons in the bind like that. Maria just didn't expect the headbutt and was dazed due to her arua being dropped so was unable to react to the final blow.
@@Nox_Desiree This is an excellent point actually, it also explains how Tock got in close so quickly. Good eye
@@mistressofdreams6031 Also as Maria was a pretty famous Huntress, probably one of the most famous of her time it's possible Tock knew what her semblance does. Being able to react to something almost before it happens is extremely powerful...as long as you are able to react to it.
In the bind like that Maria's semblane probably told her "Oh they will attack with their sword and a headbutt" and as she couldn't react to both she turned her attention to the biggest threat, tocks swords. Would rather be headbutted than stabbed but ultimately she got dazed and well it didn't matter anyway.
Also her Aura was dropped. We don't know how this effects passive semblances that are always active but with active semblances they are unable to use their semblance once their aura is dropped. It is possible this applies to passive semblances too meaning when her aura dropped her Preflexes were disabled. We'd only know for sure of Rooster Teeth ever confirm if lose of aura effects passive semblances like Maria's Preflexes or Qrow's bad luck semblance.
Honestly one of rwby top 5 fights
its been over a year since this fight was shown and now revisiting it im noticing that maria's use of gravity dust against the nevermore very closely resembles vella's use of her semblance in mark zhang's viridian trailer
Hmmmm possible inspiration? 🤔
Shiiiiiiiiiiieeeeet.... I just might have to start watching RWBY again.....
Wow it's actually accurate to her semblance,Gotta appreciate the attention to detail
Fun fact: Maria's actress was pregnant at this time and channeled her cramp pains into that scream.
No fucking way
So tock is base on the crocodile that eat captain hook hand
Interesting
Only just now realised why she’s called The Grimm Reaper. Very clever.
There really needs to be a RWBY game in the same vein as Devil May Cry focusing on combo’s and stylish moves with a variety of enemies. I mean think about it, a large character roster with interesting abilities and varied weapons, Grimm which in World of Remnant are said to have new species discovered every day (so you wouldn’t have to worry about breaking lore when coming up with new designs), enemy semblances could make interesting boss mechanics, and to top it all off the music could be fucking amazing just like DMC. PS no Grimm Eclipse doesn’t count that’s more like Dynasty Warriors than DMC.
grim eclipse
Romuald caffésérré *sigh* saw that coming but I applaud you for taking the chance.
@@khornethebloodgod4155 i mean it is kinda similar to what you were describing. Though i agree the game has some flaw
that scream still chills me
Rip eyes..
*a few seconds later*
Rip bald gal...
I now have to catch up with rwby. It looks dope. Also has CRWBY started play Darksiders 2?
Chris Smith You can watch it for FREE on Rooster Teeth’s own website. roosterteeth.com/episode/rwby-volume-6-1
Bro why don't we see more of gravity dust
Because its kinda hard to get it when a company that mines the damn stuff is shut down, if I recall.
Shame that Tock died. Wish she had been a character set in the modern times of RWBY. I love her design, accent, and fighting style. Bet she and Tyrian would have lots of fun together.
That or fight since it seems like they both have the same job basically (go hunting who ever Salam want dead)
damn thats hardcore man
I immediately thought of Darksiders 2 when I saw the mask and two scythes. Still a cool vid though.
I swear Maria calavera is one of the coolest fucking huntresses ever
Understatement, Qrow fucking based his weapon off hers.
Amazing. This fight was fucking gold. Rwby always has amazing fights, and the voice acting is phenomenal. Sends chills, almost too painful to watch.
мем. Убиваешь дракона, по пути встречаются разбойники,

i didnt know darkstalkers and rwby were in the same universe.
Seems like Maria is a ‘“descendant” of death
