-People. Stop hyping. It's annoying, and Blindwave themselves say they consider it as spoiler territory. -I always loved Nora, ever since the opening scene with Ren in Vol.1 Ch.4, but here I gave her the name "Thora".
Fun Fact in case you didn't know, Team JNPR Was entirely based on mythological and historical figures that cross-dressed, and Nora's inspiration actually was Thor, Hence the Hammer, Red hair, And Thunder Semblance. Pyrrha was based on Achilles, and Ren Was Based on Mulan.
I think the drunk guy (no spoliers) making comments about the fights is supposed to be the writers saying "hey, we know they are being silly during the fight and the battles don't show a whole lot of skill (nora 4 person knockout, neptune 3 person knockout)." To me it symbolizes these teams are definitely not huntsmen yet
I never noticed this till now but that scene with the bartender breaking the glass was Rooster Teeth showcasing Qrow's semblance for the fist time awesome foreshadowing.
Nora is actually based off of Thor. They're all based off of "fairy tale characters (mythology, ancient legends, or traditional fairy tales). Phyrra is Achilles, Ren is Ha Mulan, and Jaune is Joan of Arc
Little backstory on the SSSN VS NDGO, Between volume 2 and 3, RoosterTeeth Started a crowd funded project to fund their first Feature length film "Lazer Team" on indiegogo, they raised 2.5 million for the movie, WELL above their set goal of 650K. One of the rewards was to have a Team in the RWBY universe, They named NDGO of off the website indiegogo and the color indigo. This fight did cause some time issues for other fights in the future of the volume, but nothing too bad (from what i heard).
Quick notes for this episode: the guy in the bar is voiced by Vic Mignona, who voiced Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, Spirit Albarn in Soul Eater, Broly in some of the Dragon Ball movies, etc. Expect to see some more well known voice actors in this volume and the next (tip: if a new character pops up, look at the credits to see their VA). And the team Sun was going against as well as the bartender were Rooster Teeth fans that contributed to their Indigogo in funding their first proper movie Lazer Team (hence the name).
***** OK, maybe it's not as important as we say it is. but it has the cool factor when it comes to the animation, a little bit of facts about Aura and Semblance, and the usual humor from Wiz and Boomstick... if passed Ch. 6 they haven't saw it, I'll stop insisting.
Don't mind me - just watching this entire reaction series, 6 years later, just to find out when Ren finally gets his seat at the table XD (Really, I'm excited that y'all have gone all the way to current. I really love this show and, imo, it has some amazing stuff going for it. Stoked to hear your thoughts all the way through!)
Sword were side arms most the time with a two hand weapon being the main or a shield with a spear. Japan troops like samurai were actually bow cavalry that used a bow and a spear while moving. Then a sword when on foot.
Actually sword were quite rare historically, they're quite expensive on the metal front, and they take more time to learn how to use. Most men on a medieval battlefield would use axes, or spears, with maces in the later medieval, an axe isn't used that differently on a person than on wood and just about everyone needed to know how to chop wood.
Those cards that guy tossed are their form of money called Lien(Lee en), not sure of the values but there are different colors of them so I'm pretty sure they do have different values
In case you didn't know, the bunny girl's outfit was based on a fan design contest winner, and we were teased with not being shown her weapon in a production diary back before volume 2, and so they basically blue balled us on that.
- Team NDGO: Indiegogo - Scarlet David: Peter Pan - Sage Ayana: Aesop? Also, most of Team SSSN's designs (Sun, Sage, and Neptune specifically) are based on the K-pop band Big Bang.
Historically speaking, main battlefield weapons were polearms/spears, other two handed weapons and one-handed + shield. Even in medieval Japan, Samurai and Ashigaru primarily utilized the Yari and Naginata. The sword was generally a sidearm if you had something better to use due to its poor performance against heavy armor.
swords were primarily side-arms, so most wore one at their hip. but would often use another weapon as their main. i think the popularity of swords nowadays can be attributed to entertainment media
In terms of combat skill and ability to fight, Pyrrha is easily the top character in not only JNPR but arguably in the entire show thus far. Nora is all about brute force and power.
In history swords were preferred but to save cost armies could be armed with axes which used more wood and less metal and thus were cheaper and less heavy.
I never understand why people think that the sniper girl in this chapter is "a bad shot"... She's using suppression fire, giving her team, which is nearly all close combat orientated cover and time to close with their opposition so that they're actually able to fight. Not all sniping is kill shots, a lot of it, imo, is covering or suppression fire for tatical advantage.
Before next episode catch up on the World of Remnant episodes "Aura" and "Vytal Festival Tournament", they offer more exposition and this volume they will be important
Team SSSN Voice Actors. S=Sun (Voice Actor: Michael Jones) S=Scarlet (Voice Actor: Gavin Free) S: Sage (Voice Actor: Josh Ornelas) N: Neptune (Voice Actor: Kerry Shawcross) And also Team IDGO was actually a Fan-Made Team created by a fan, I thought that was very cool of them to do that. And also the Drunk Guy is named Qrow Branwen and he is definitely one of my Top 5 favorite character of the show. You guys will love him!
I would say spears where the most common weapon for infantry in the middle age or roman age. mainly because they are cheaper. Although elites almost always had swords (less common)
I have a bow that can detach the bow string and become whip with a blade on the end, my semblance would allow me to bound a glyph to one object at a time, like a arrow, i can later switch my position with that object at will.
CFVY = Coffee also their names are not a spoiler cause they've been told before volume 3 during volume 2 they just missed it, anyway. Minigun Gun girl is my fav I love her introduction and find her sexy. P.S Jaune said "Retreat" not that they were cheating.
In rwby I would want a utility belt of fire, ice, glue, tear gas, burning tar, and electric grenades. My semblance would be the ability to make air solid to jump around in midair, create shields, and cage/crush my opponents.
Red Death I agree in general but whenever these get uploaded they have already seen the next episode as it gets uploaded for early access but it could still spoil people who are watching along with them.
***** They've said they don't want people hyping up specific episodes. You probably ejoy their content, can't you at least have the decency to respect that?
Brace yourselves... for- ok, you know what? You already know what's coming... but are you prepared for the "big reveal" (for those who go back and rewatch episodes, it was obvious) as to who that drunk guy was? The best character in the damn show (well, tied with Ozpin), that's who!
Ren is now being voiced by Neath Oum.
Also, Scarlet (the red-haired one who gets hit in the nuts with coconuts) is based off of Peter Pan.
XD yup
isnt that gavin to a tee?
Barrington lol
Denis Safiev actually that was the author, not the character
-People. Stop hyping. It's annoying, and Blindwave themselves say they consider it as spoiler territory.
-I always loved Nora, ever since the opening scene with Ren in Vol.1 Ch.4, but here I gave her the name "Thora".
I agree that hyping (knowing what will happen) is spoilers. But what do you expect when you react to old Volumes?
Fun Fact in case you didn't know, Team JNPR Was entirely based on mythological and historical figures that cross-dressed, and Nora's inspiration actually was Thor, Hence the Hammer, Red hair, And Thunder Semblance. Pyrrha was based on Achilles, and Ren Was Based on Mulan.
If you were curious, Team SSSN is:
Sun (Leader), Sage, Scarlet and Neptune.
Winter is coming...... i'll show myself out....
why torchwood boy?
Oh wow, hi..!
It'll arrive as the Qrow flies.
That was alarming.
You'll _snow_ yourself out.
Yes. the currency(Lien) isn't in bills,but in cards in a variety of colors.
And there are debit/credit cards as well, as we've seen from Weiss.
I think the drunk guy (no spoliers) making comments about the fights is supposed to be the writers saying "hey, we know they are being silly during the fight and the battles don't show a whole lot of skill (nora 4 person knockout, neptune 3 person knockout)."
To me it symbolizes these teams are definitely not huntsmen yet
I still love the double pun with the "Crow Bar" XD
Rooster teeth occasionally jokes about there being a Gun-Gun.
A gun that is also a gun... genius
That is also *another* gun!
Alex Bell how about have a sword gun sword gun gun sword gun sword gun gun gun.
It's a laser sword gun that shoots laser swords that are also on fire.
A gun that shoots out guns that can supply thier allyes with more gunds
Winter is coming
GamerTagShadow- more like winter is here already
can't wait to see their reactions next week.
I never noticed this till now but that scene with the bartender breaking the glass was Rooster Teeth showcasing Qrow's semblance for the fist time awesome foreshadowing.
The next episode introduces my favorite character, that guy at the end who was drunk as balls lol lol I'm sure you guys will love him
Nora is actually based off of Thor. They're all based off of "fairy tale characters (mythology, ancient legends, or traditional fairy tales). Phyrra is Achilles, Ren is Ha Mulan, and Jaune is Joan of Arc
I'm surprised they didn't look at the name of the Bar and figure out 'you know who' right away xD
13:40 the moment you realize that's Bad Luck Charm playing in the background after watching this so many times
Rosethorn I was looking for this as I noticed when rewatching
Episode 2!! Can't wait to see you guys react to the rest of Volume 3!! You are in for a treat :D!
I always find it funny how many reactors are actually commenting on your videos. Shows that a lot of reactors like to watch reactions themselves.
Little backstory on the SSSN VS NDGO, Between volume 2 and 3, RoosterTeeth Started a crowd funded project to fund their first Feature length film "Lazer Team" on indiegogo, they raised 2.5 million for the movie, WELL above their set goal of 650K.
One of the rewards was to have a Team in the RWBY universe, They named NDGO of off the website indiegogo and the color indigo. This fight did cause some time issues for other fights in the future of the volume, but nothing too bad (from what i heard).
Fun Fact:
The "Pirate Guy" is name Scarlet David and the "Cloud Guy" is named Sage Ayana
Nora is Thor!
Quick notes for this episode: the guy in the bar is voiced by Vic Mignona, who voiced Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, Spirit Albarn in Soul Eater, Broly in some of the Dragon Ball movies, etc. Expect to see some more well known voice actors in this volume and the next (tip: if a new character pops up, look at the credits to see their VA). And the team Sun was going against as well as the bartender were Rooster Teeth fans that contributed to their Indigogo in funding their first proper movie Lazer Team (hence the name).
Yang vs Tifa Death Battle!
Before you get too far into this volume.
This is IMPORTANT!!!
C'mon guys, it goes between volumes 2 and 3.
Now that you already saw Ch. 3 (early access) and that character was fully introduced, pretty please?!!
ChocolateRob how is it important? It adds absolutely nothing to the plot of RWBY
***** OK, maybe it's not as important as we say it is. but it has the cool factor when it comes to the animation, a little bit of facts about Aura and Semblance, and the usual humor from Wiz and Boomstick... if passed Ch. 6 they haven't saw it, I'll stop insisting.
7:27 The Crow Bar, is a Bar, where Qrow like to drink. Puns.
Don't mind me - just watching this entire reaction series, 6 years later, just to find out when Ren finally gets his seat at the table XD
(Really, I'm excited that y'all have gone all the way to current. I really love this show and, imo, it has some amazing stuff going for it. Stoked to hear your thoughts all the way through!)
Same
That pirate guy aka Scarlet is based on Peter Pan.
After Aaron's comment about potatoes, I think the new volume desperately needs a potato cannon.
Drunkle Vic Mignona ftw
Andrea Cetto yup lol
THE BEST
My weapon: A cutlass that fires the blade as a harpoon, on a retractable chain.
My semblance: The ability to become perfectly immovable.
Sword were side arms most the time with a two hand weapon being the main or a shield with a spear. Japan troops like samurai were actually bow cavalry that used a bow and a spear while moving. Then a sword when on foot.
If you have not seen it yet, it would be fun if you did Rooster Teeth's Red vs. Blue (Warning: there's 14 seasons)
Jérôme Dutil-Martin yes at least the first season
a dual pole arm with axes on the end is called a Daibo.
Actually sword were quite rare historically, they're quite expensive on the metal front, and they take more time to learn how to use. Most men on a medieval battlefield would use axes, or spears, with maces in the later medieval, an axe isn't used that differently on a person than on wood and just about everyone needed to know how to chop wood.
Btw, just like how every character is based off of another fictional character, Nora is based off of Thor.
Those cards that guy tossed are their form of money called Lien(Lee en), not sure of the values but there are different colors of them so I'm pretty sure they do have different values
That's two reaction groups I've seen now with 'Ooh is he throwing potatoes AWH SAWBLADES!'
Nearly fell out of my chair.
Eric, the weapon you drew was basically the Orthos Prime from Warframe!!
NEXT EP WILL BE LIT
In case you didn't know, the bunny girl's outfit was based on a fan design contest winner, and we were teased with not being shown her weapon in a production diary back before volume 2, and so they basically blue balled us on that.
"Winter is coming."
4:17 I could not stop laughing after you guys did that!!
Thumbs up for Calvin's shirt!
Someone seriously needs to make concept art for their weapons.
- Team NDGO: Indiegogo
- Scarlet David: Peter Pan
- Sage Ayana: Aesop?
Also, most of Team SSSN's designs (Sun, Sage, and Neptune specifically) are based on the K-pop band Big Bang.

7:38 - I love how, even in the news shots, Pyrrha's only got eyes for Jaune. She loves him so much.

i'm glad i wasn't the only one who thought of the mummy 2 when he mentioned the double ended axe lol
I love how Neptune is named after the Greek god of the ocean and he's afraid of water
Also his design is based on a dancer (I don't who exactly) and he can't dance.
Some KPOP star. It's on the wikia somewhere.
Lonewolfjedi Neptune is Roman I believe. Poseidon is Greek.
Darion Belt you're right because they named the planets after Roman Gods, thanks for clarifying
AFAIK... The voice actor for Neptune, can't swim, so they made Neptune afraid of the water as an inside joke.
Oh boy, they are in for a treat next tuesday!
Stop saying that, they've repeatedly told viewers theydon't want us hyping up specific episodes.
I like how the bar he was at is called "crow bar"
how has people commented 6 days ago. early access?
they used internet explorer...in reverse???
Yes. Comments from Patreon pass over to UA-cam when the video is uploaded.
How do all those squares make a circle?
Be a Patron and you get a week early access, just like with Avatar.
*****
Patreon? It costs only $5 a month to be able to access the early access vids :)
18:32 “It would be cool if it turned into a boomerang”
Me thinking about a very good boy: 🐺🪃😊
14:05 ERIC. Just pick one love interest for Blake! JUST ONE!
You might want to REALLY consider turning off comments because people LOVE to spoil volume 3
In history swords were preferred but to save cost armies could be armed with axes which used more wood and less metal and thus were cheaper and less heavy.
I never understand why people think that the sniper girl in this chapter is "a bad shot"...

Love your reactions as always, although I expected a bit more speculation about who the man in the bar was, ALSO, WHERE IS REN'S FIGURE?! lol
Team SSSN Voice Actors.
S=Sun (Voice Actor: Michael Jones)
S=Scarlet (Voice Actor: Gavin Free)
S: Sage (Voice Actor: Josh Ornelas)
N: Neptune (Voice Actor: Kerry Shawcross)
And also Team IDGO was actually a Fan-Made Team created by a fan, I thought that was very cool of them to do that. And also the Drunk Guy is named Qrow Branwen and he is definitely one of my Top 5 favorite character of the show. You guys will love him!
I would say spears where the most common weapon for infantry in the middle age or roman age. mainly because they are cheaper. Although elites almost always had swords (less common)

Early access is the best. :D
Sahz from FFXIII had pistols that turns into a sniper rifle.
Jonathan Robinson
Coldblood+R:IC ftw.
Not gonna lie. The first time I heard Dr. Oobleck's comment to Team Son's fight I thought he said "....Sucking?"
Monty's brother's name is Neath Oum.
and it all (the fighting) goes down from here
that moment when "that guy" is the exact opposite of Weiss' crew
Right after the next chapter, pretty please react to Death Battle: Yang vs Tifa
Aahhhh we have to wait a week for the next one! Definitely one of the good ones.
nice t-shirt calvin, perfectly nerdy and amazing all around.
I absolutely love the stargate shirt
I loved watching indigo vs suns team. Good fight.
Winter is Coming
No copyright please👍
CFVY = Coffee also their names are not a spoiler cause they've been told before volume 3 during volume 2 they just missed it, anyway. Minigun Gun girl is my fav I love her introduction and find her sexy.
P.S Jaune said "Retreat" not that they were cheating.
I love the origins of Yatsuhashi best but I love love love Coco also why does noone but murderofbirds notice that Fox is blind?
In rwby I would want a utility belt of fire, ice, glue, tear gas, burning tar, and electric grenades. My semblance would be the ability to make air solid to jump around in midair, create shields, and cage/crush my opponents.
18:48 Wait a minute...
18:54 WAIT A MINUTE!
Winter is coming.
Ren is voiced by Monty Oum's brother.
I'll have two number 9's, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda.
If you had fun watching these fights, you are going to have yourselves a time with the next few chapters--just don't blink! XD
Never fear! Backwards Blade Gauntlet Man is here!
"he hit a girl" lmao Calvin
DUCK SAUCE EQUALITY!!!
cannot wait for the next reaction
Those are some *damn fine mics*
If I could make my own RWBY weapon, I'd have a retractable bo-staff that can be electrified, AND it can turn into an electrical whip!
Best fighter of JNRP is Pyrrha.
Remember, she's Magneto, she can easily disarm Nora and almost everyone else thanks to her semblance.
Nice outro!
Can't wait for the next episode
Best episode of the season yo next.
Stop saying that, they've told viewers to stop saying that.
Red Death I agree in general but whenever these get uploaded they have already seen the next episode as it gets uploaded for early access but it could still spoil people who are watching along with them.
Red Death I didn't spoil anything.
***** They've said they don't want people hyping up specific episodes. You probably ejoy their content, can't you at least have the decency to respect that?
Red Death I don't follow them that closely so that wasn't apparent to me. Noted for the future.
Take a shot every time they make a reference to Overwatch
Just want to point out, the disk blades are chakrams
A double ended scythe? Pffft could you imagine that? :O *cough* Maria *cough*
Digging the Stargate shirt.
"WHAT IS HE THROWING A POTATO?!?!?!!? "
i mean wtf.
Is the redhead on Neptune's team voiced by Gavin Free
That guy drinking.... At the C r o w Bar. Guess who...
Brace yourselves... for- ok, you know what? You already know what's coming... but are you prepared for the "big reveal" (for those who go back and rewatch episodes, it was obvious) as to who that drunk guy was?
The best character in the damn show (well, tied with Ozpin), that's who!
Brace yourselves. Winter is coming.
Winter is coming? Nah Winter is Here :3
