No matter how much people shit on rwby, I thank everyone for living on to Monty oum. He did amazing work whether it was rwby or dead fantasy and not just his work but his inspiration, his sweat of determination, his desire to give anything to the audience and anyone who even once seen his videos/got the chance to meet him/ got to work with him, have strove to never remind everyone of not just what he has done but to show in words or actions that he is never forgotten..... Monty will always leave his mark in his art as well as every person's hearts. Thank you for every thing you have ever did and shared for us and it will never die on our hearts
@@cqbjones4861 The magic of Saturday Morning cartoons From the 90's and early 2000's are gone, but RWBY still manage to keep things consistant, airing new episodes every Saturday Morning.
@@ShadowSonic325 Being mute is one of the strongest characteristics of Neo. If she speaks, it'll take part of her charm away, since Neo is a "show, don't tell" character
Isn't it weird that Mercury is with the rest of the villians, but Emerald is not? She and Neo also come into the opening over the line "some lives will end much too soon." Got me thinking.
Well this clearly is foreshadowing that some ppl gonna die that's what these rwby op's do they give us tiny hints because op 5 was talking about gods and then later in vol 5 we learn about the god's
@@bluegalxycat3533 but didn't the blue lady say that jumping in the water kills you and Salem thought that would end her immorality But it just made her more white
@@Zapper-Zac That was the Grimm Pool in the God of Darkness’s domain. Salem originally fell into the water in the God of Light’s domain and that’s how she became immortal.
Oh look, Mercury is literally one of the only characters correctly dressed for the weather Why is no one wearing clothes that will actually keep them warm?????? Penny is understandable, she is literally metal. At least Weiss had a scarf, but then again - it's gone now. Why is this annoying me so much??? Why am I over analysing an anime and their clothing choices??? Some people may never know the answers to these questions
Honestly, Nora is based off of thor, and in that specific story, thor die's, so I'm really thinking Noras chapter in the story is gonna close soon- but then again it could be Ren death flags and Nora is the one having to go through losing her best friend and lover

i feel like im the only one who likes this song a lot more then trust love (first listen), maybe cuz im into dark songs and ALSO LAST SOUNDTRACK WAS MOSTLY HAPPY SONGS....thats also foreshadowing :O
For me. It’s the best RWBY OP hands down, no question. It effortlessly balances epic and rocking with romantically sad, classically-inspired moves, making it blow even the other dark OP (V3) completely out of the water. I could listen to this on repeat even without the series, which, while not new to me for general RWBY songs, IS new for an OP, especially in its short in-show version.
Trust Love is easily my least favorite opening song lol. Love the visuals but the song is so meh compared to all the other openings in my opinion. This song slaps but tool some getting used to. Visuals are also fire here.
@@a2b._ Yes, unlike Yang and Ruby 🙄, who pretending to be sisters. Also, I'm very curious about time freeze part, maybe Cinder tries to overthrow Salem or become 3rd party.
That new intro had a lot of Nora in it. Either she's going to do something important or.... uh oh. Quick, everyone theorize that Nora is going to die! That way RT will have no choice but to prove us wrong or risk becoming predictable.
I agree. I can see Penny being a link between the winter maid's power and another owner. Who may the other one be?... I don't know... But I suddenly what to say Nora, even though Ruby would be a more buyable option because of Penny's and hers relationship. I dunno. I'm tired XD
Arthur will probably hack her after learning the news about Penny then either A: penny turns evil/or dies B: she passes her power to someone before she turns C: nothing happens because the plot said so.
Watts is good with computers and so is her dad, I have a feeling that ironwood will probably force both of them to hack into penny so she can come back or attack the team since he said he'll make sacrifices no matter the cost.
I am scared for N and R’s lives. I am terrified for Penny as well, I am worried about Yang more generally. I am hopeful that my masochistic tendencies will be satiated by the ways this Volume will hurt, while my sadistic ones feed off of watching others go through it.
I highly doubt they will kill Penny. She already died once, and she has such an interesting arc... a synthetic girl with a real (piece of) soul trying to master maiden powers on the fly as this huge battle begins? It wouldn't make sense to have her die when she has so much material to offer for the story.
literally everyone (but the titular characters for obvious reasons and Oscar) has a death flag. Qrow, Penny, Pietro, Maria, JNR, Winter, Robyn, you name it.
@Dillon Hiles she only has one extra life available and thats her father. once he transfers his aura again, he's probably going to die. that or literally any of the villains can assassinate pietro and penny would then be on her own without any chance of revival. then again, atlas is fucked and i don't think any scientists will be alive at the end of this volume to repair her if she dies twice.
@Dillon Hiles watch V7 again. She MIGHT have ONE extra life left, but if she does, it’s likely at the cost of Pietro’s. And even that is only if her core remains intact. Then there’s the risk of her being hacked, or breaking down on her own given how depressed she is seeming.
I think ironwood is starting to lose feeling for anything he’s turning into the tin man (which is what he was based off) he lost his other arm the more machine he turns the more feeling for anything he loses
@@navzee831 Ozpin, the wizard of Oz. Ironwood, the heartless Tin-man. Qrow, the brainless (or in his case drunks) scareqrow. And Lionheart, the cowardly lion.
People also seem to forget his semblance, Mettle when judging his actions. His decision making isn't quite like a normal human's. It's a passive semblance which gives him resolve and confidence in his actions, no matter how drastic. He still makes his decisions without influence, of course but it's Mettle that causes him to not easily or not at all back down from them.
Let them all die, its getting awfully crowded in rwby we need some death and tragedy to Happen... I want those sweet sweet rwby fan tears, i want to hear the music that are their cries and screams of agony and sorrow.
Few things to note 1. 0:56 Penny is facing the hero's in way that says "you are in my way" 2. 1:06 Neo and emerald enter the frame when the line "some lives end much to soon" which has me concerned for neo 3. 0:57 There are no atlas forces just grimm combine that with 0:42 i thinks it's possible atlas won't just be under siege. It will be wiped off the map.
I cant see Neo dying unless she loses a fight against Cinder who suddenly will feel she isnt useful anymore however, Salem might stop it because she didnt tell Cinder to do it or she sees that Neo is useful but Emerald hasnt shown she's useful to Cinder in a while she is just there now so to Cinder Neo is Emerald's replacement.
Why are they referencing the God of Light’s fountain? I guess it could just symbolize reaching for the light but being pulled down by darkness. It just seems too specific for the metaphor
Know who _also_ has fallen into a mysterious pool? Cinder Fall. One theory I've had for a while is that Cinder may in fact be an immortal now -- whether Cinder herself is aware of this fact or not -- due to her falling into what I highly suspect to be the God of Light's Fountain of Life back in Volumes 5-6. After all, when Cinder first entered the Vault of the Spring Maiden the first thing she said was: *_"Hm. It's certainly grander than Beacon's. I wonder what the extra effort was for."_* If Cinder has indeed immortal, similarly to how Salem did, then it will be very interesting. She will become more dangerous than ever, and increase her chances of eventually surpassing Salem, if she ever considers doing so.
@@conmanay4563 Who knows? It's entirely possible that this line of dialogue was foreshadowing this very theoretical event. You don't usually throw in a mysterious line of dialogue like that in that sort of situation for nothing.
Oh boy... We are in for some serious emotions, aren't we? Weiss said it best when she said "We're never going to sleep again. I just know it!" Side note: This opening slaps and I am super excited to see it every week
Yeah. I personally enjoy the show (but this is coming from someone who binged volumes 1-7 about 3 weeks ago). Is it perfect? No. Could things be done better? Absolutely, one thing being Bumblebee (please don't come at be shippers). But, do I find the show great and entertaining? Heck yeah I do. I'll admit there's flaws, etc. but it honestly doesn't make me less in love with this show. It has it's charms.
@Static Gaming ...He's been dead for over five volumes now. And yet you're still here. Perhaps you should find something better to do with your time rather than obsess about a show you apparently hate.
This has already become my favourite intro. And damn, this has so many hidden messages! The thing that strikes me as funny from 0:11 to 0:15 is that on their weapons, Ruby is visiting Summer's grave, Weiss is remembering when she was still held back by her dad, Blake left her shitty ex, but Yang is just chilling with Zwei. That is so Yang.
Nope. To put here what I sent to a friend just now: This one's gonna be a train wreck that collides with an airplane, slams into a populated area, and starts a nationwide nuclear meltdown. And the sun blows up. I wanna bounce off the walls in excitement. And I also wanna go hide in a closet until the whole season is released to binge it all at once.
Did anyone else notice how penny is at first standing against the Grimm army to spearheading it in this op? Like the way she turned against the heroes was so smooth I just realized it
We started to watch RWBY 1.5 months ago, just finished on 7th ep of 8th season. As a new person on the fandom, I don't have all this "before were better", for me personally the quality of the show raises with every season - graphics, characters, story became better and better. The Team did great work and continue to do it.
I started rwby while vol. 7 was coming out and when I witnessed volume 3 it hurt pretty bad. Sadly, I saw a bit of spoilers about pyrrha's death because I was really into rwby at the time. So the end of vol. 3 didn't hit as hard. But this volume's op? This legitimately scares me and I'm nervous for what's to come. I can only hope the characters deaths in this won't be too.. Close to my heart.. 💔
Me, too. I wanna bounce off the walls and squeal at the shit storm that is about to rain down on us. At the same time, I wanna go curl up in a ball and cry cuz shit is gonna go down and we may lose more peeps. Honestly, I miss the first two volumes. Can we go back to those days? Where all they had to worry about was Cardin bullying people and getting the girl, or guy, of their dreams?
I have a feeling they’re scared of Weiss’s dress clipping if she does any of the stuff she use to do so I guess that’s why they turn her in to a wizard
@@ingridfigueroa7917 Yeah she had such a cool fighting style. I love swift and graceful fighting styles and it's disappointing to see her go away from the really cool stuff she used to do to some ranged blaster type/summoner.
You know at the last part of the intro i see Cinder's grim arm grabbing Ruby's hand and other grim arms reaching for the relic that looks kinda like the one that team RNJR faught the horseman grim
Yo I just got an idea! Have you guys seen JoJo's? The opening for part 3, 4, and 5 have changes to the openings when the part reaches it's climax. What if something like that happen with RWBY Volume 8? Also feel free to check out some of my other videos, these vids I'm super proud of! ua-cam.com/video/z_fVcOQjHrQ/v-deo.html
Finally, Cinder's time has come! Once swimming in power and success at the climax of Volume 3, she has fallen far since then. And, as we all know: *_"falls from grace are never elegant."_* Perhaps this is where she truly begins to rise again, or fall even further -- time will tell.
That will be such I twist ! We are all exepecting to be Salem, Ironwood or Team RWBY to have but it's Neo at the end ! Neo can shape shift into anyone so she won't get caught anytime soon.
@@cqbjones4861 Oh thank god I thought I was one of the only ones. This song is one of my new favorite RWBY songs, but then again all of them are good imo so.
Hi idk if someone has said this but I noticed something! There is some many instances of mirrors or people mirroring each other it’s crazy! The whole beginning but with mantle 0:12 it’s mirroring their pasts 0:23 crow and Harriet are mirrored opposite of each other 0:32 ren and Nora are mirroring eachother/standing opposite eachother 0:38 Weiss and winter 0:41 Salem and iron wood directly mirroring eachother Ron the chess board 0:45 I honestly don’t remember either of their names 0:46 penny( her reflection shatters) 1:15 the mirror image flashing Idk the exact symbolism behind it but I think it means something or like is important. I might also be reading WAY too much into this.
I think this is the first Rwby song I didn't like right off the first listen. I think I will get into it if I listen to it more times like some songs I end up liking after multiple listens. There's something about this opening, maybe its because its sounds shorter than the previous ones and just stretches the words out. Idk, does anyone else feel the same way? The visuals are great tho
@@Tonyseil lowkey, the first time you listen it sounds like four different songs meshed together It sounds better with multiple listens but the first time it definitely sounds off
I liked it somewhat. Where I got thrown off is after "Some roses" That got my brain like "OH SHIT HYPE BEAT DROP!!!" and it was on the calmer side. That's what threw me off. But I like it now that I've listened to it a bit!
I wish they'd go back to Weiss being a graceful fighter instead of constantly relying on her summon. Like, give me Weiss from the White Trailer who utilized close combat and her dust abilities simultaneously. If we do get a Winter vs. Weiss fight scene, I hope they give us that good Weiss from the White Trailer.
Weiss using her rapier in the opening moments of her fight vs. Marrow was honestly the highlight of V7 for me. I do really think that she is primed to have a solo fight this volume. Weiss vs. Winter sounds amazing and I can definitely see it happening. It would be a great character moment for the both the sisters, no doubt. There's also the potential for Weiss vs. Emerald to happen considering it's been hinted at and even straight up teased by Neath. I just want to see her fight more and adopt the hybrid style of glyphs and fencing that we saw her do in V2. For the love of God please let her use time dilation again.
“Some evil will never, ever die,” the song says as Salem is front and center... I definitely feel that, whenever that day comes, Salem will be either brought to a point of surrender, or finally defeated by means of ridding her of her darkness. ‘Cause she’s not going down my “standard” means, that’s for sure.
Technically three other villains appeared on the screen between that lyric and Salem, but I see where you're coming from. Although, it is interesting to note all those villains including Salem are surrounded by the inferno released by Cinder just before. As for Salem, there is still another way (if you weren't already referring to this): she could be redeemed. After all, the God of Light said that she would only ever be released from her curse of immortality and be able to rest if she learnt the importance of life and death.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain Yeah, I definitely realize that the lyric starts as early as Tyrian showing up, and could be a general “there’s always gonna be evil out to get you,” I just liked thinking that Salem was the key subject. ;) And yeah, I don’t know why my mind drew a blank on that word but yeah, redemption was what I was thinking of. How, though, I don’t know, but I just have a feeling that’s how we’ll see this war end at some point, with Salem fully realizing the significance of life and death.
@@HyperHunt621 That's what I've suspected would most likely happen since the first time I saw Volume 6 Chapter 3. The question then is whether Salem getting redeemed is the final endgame of the show, or if that's not the final boss and the heroes will have to contend with Cinder one more time afterwards. The final antagonist of this show will be one of those two -- the two main antagonists of RWBY -- and honestly, depending on how things go, it could be either or.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain Considering that at this point it’s somewhat predictable (we just don’t know how it’ll play out) I actually kind of hope it’s not the endgame for our heroes. Still, they could make that episode an absolute heartwrencher of a series finale and I’d probably still love it.
For me, these volumes just keep getting better and better. I've always enjoyed each chapter in the volumes. Bash me if you'd like, but I will always love each volume they bring out.
I wish I had a speaker. I really wish I did. I mean, this intro hits HARD. The lyrics is so sad, but man does it sound AWESOME. Great job Casey! Great job Jeff!
I rlly don't want to say this but... this opening gives me the feeling that something is gonna happen to Nora and Ren... This opening is focused on them and it gives me a theory that... Nora might lose Ren in this volume...
In V7 all characters needed to Trust in one another and they failed. And whem you fail to earn the trust of someone or you lose someone's trust because of ours feelings or thoughts, there will be Division. And, whether we like it or not, the passing of someone can also be considered as a Division. And that's what this volume will talk about. Analyzing the intro, we can point out some important things such as: - Our Heroes are divided. They'll probably go into different tasks. In my opinion, Ruby, Nora Weiss, Blake and Penny will try to reunite Mantle with Atlas. However Oscar, Jaune, Ren and Yang prefer fight as many Grimm they can instead trying to unite people; - As seen in V7 Finale, Atlas and Mantle are divided, which will lead Ironwood to do everything he can (even bad things) to protect the Kingdom from Salem. He already declared Martial Law, which is not something good for Atlas itself. With that in mind, the people that he trust will start to doubt and there'll be a division. Problably Winter, who appears very disappointed in the intro; - Renora will end. It's sad? Yes. But is important for both characters' development. I've watched this intro about six times. And I'm concluding that Ren will be the one who'll die. Why? Because of the petal scene in the intro. Ren let the wind blow on it and Nora couldn't grab it. - Judging by the intro, we can also expect a division in the Villans. In the last Salem scene she's with Hazel, Tyrian and Mercury. Neither Cinder nor Watts are included. In my opinion, Cinder will look after the new Winter Maiden (Penny) and for Ruby deviating from Salem's plan one last time and she'll be with Neo and Emerald. And Watts probalbly will die. Didn't watch the EP01 because I'm not a RT FIRST. But I'm pretty excited about this volume. And I'm feeling V3 feelings back again.
Yeah this Vol feels like there is gonna be a few casualties on both sides and friendships and bonds will be severed. I'm kinda exited for this and not ready for the emotional rollercoaster we will be going through.
Cinder screwing over Salem seems quite likely, with Neo and Emerald joining up because neither seems to willing to side with the devil (Salem), but them all teaming up with Penny and going rogue as a third party? That's BIG BRAINED and if it happens you're a genius.
@@Iridescent_Astraea Well, that's my point of view. Cinder will split from Salem with Neo and Emerald and create another party in the war. And that's quite obvious. Since V1 she's presented as this selfish and independent character with her own minions. Being a minion of Salem is a major problem for her as character because she wants power and she'll keep looking for the power of the Maidens no matter what costs. Correct if I'm wrong, but I interpreted you talking about Cinder Faction teaming up with Penny. Actually, what I was implying is that Cinder, Emerald and Neo are going to hunt Penny now that she is the new Winter Maiden. And I think they'll not succeed. Why? If you watch the opening again and fast forward to Pietro/Watts appearance you'll notice that Pietro and Penny are aligned in a room while Watts is in another room and right behind Pietro. That implies a change of command for Penny. Real Pietro still works on his console while his reflection looks for Penny and when the camera goes to her she's in doubt and the mirror shatters. I believe Watts will kill Pietro and hack Penny (just like the last moments of the opening imply). Therefore Penny must be sacrificed as the power of a Maiden will be in grave danger. Now, who'll kill Penny? I don't know for sure. But I have some ideas. My strongests guesses for replacing the Winter Maiden are Winter (that will change sides) or Weiss.
I don't know if anyone else noticed this but when Clover's pin was dropped and we saw the Ace ops each piece of the pin was split into two and you notice that Elm and Marrow both had part of their bodies leaning to the right part of it with a little bit of their body on the left side, however Vine has his body equally split on both sides and when we see Harriet and Crow, Harriet is completely to the left and Crow was completely to the right. I definitely think this is signifying their trust and loyalty for ironwood and his goal .Where it shows that Vine is completely impartial ,but Harriet is completely for ironwood and her duty,while Crow has lost all faith in james.But marrow and elm are slowly starting to shift their Moral values and leading to the side of not being with ironwood. could be complete BS but I thought it was interesting
I like winter's new suit, and i like that emerald and mercury are back and with new suits too (not sure about mercury) never the less I like it very much
After Volume 3, with her death which shocks me to the core.. Even with all the foreshadowing in this opening, my heart is too numb to feel scared. When your favourite girl already bite the dust.. how worse could it get? Rwby is totally giving the "anyone can die" trope.
What's the best part of RWBY? The animation? No. The characters? No. The plot? No. The best part has always been the intro and ost. It's a joke, don't kill me for saying it
Tbh the characters and stuff just make the ops better so the op is a combination of everything we like.and this is just cool and dark so meh ruby got silver sharigans so we safe don't worry guys.
Its nice to see a comment section where people aren't ragging on the show and bringing down the mood. Im super excited, and while Im not a huge fan of the music (it sounds really off beat), the visuals are really good and there's so much to speculate on! I hope we can get more about Cinder's character, it seems she'll have more importance and that's really exciting. And maybe we'll get some more Nora backstory too? :0 theres alot of focus on her in this. Maybe the staff of creation also has a 'physical' form of sorts like the lamp does! The mist that it gave was a darker blue and I'm wondering if it'll continue the pinocchio theme and be the blue fairy?
I think its supposed to sound off. It shows how not in sync everything is. Its aggressive and almost distorted. This song reminds .e so much of VOL3 but even more so.
@@LuShadow357 Yeah it feels so all over the place, but in a good way? I don't know what's gonna happen next and there is so much going on in the visuals and music that I feel like I won't get bored watching it every episode as ill discover something new every time.
crytyping cryptid Nah I get what you mean, people can’t seem to leave it alone long enough for it to be finished. Like every episode is reviewed the moment it comes out. Like, I get the criticism and stuff about the show but then again it’s just a show people like to watch. Let them be.
@@drguineapig8755 If Penny doesn't die then my theory is Ruby will use the staff of creation to turn her into a real girl. Thus negating Watts hacking her.
@@drguineapig8755 Yeah this is the one RWBY theory that I hope comes true. Also I wasn't the one who originally came up with this theory. Are you nervous about how everyone in Mantle is gathering in one spot? Cause we know Salem is either going to slaughter Mantle first or demolish Atlas so it crushes everyone in the crater.
don't mind me, just doing my jobe here: Volume 1: Happy smiles Volume 2: Happy smiles...? Volume 3: SUFFERING, PAIN AND BLOOD Volume 4: Depression Volume 5: A happy kind of depression Volume 6: More depression Volume 7: Everything is fine... but it's not... i smell it. Volume 8: IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN
I wonder how penny being a maiden effects her father? I kinda think mercury is on of Salem's people now. Penny is the hero of this volume I think andddddd who else thought that cinder winters fight was super bad I can't get it out of my head, winter is supposed to be the bomb the way she fought qrow and the way she fought cinder... NO something was wrong.
@@duperdog1780 maybe its because I really liked winter and expected a lot from her but u cannot tell me rwby had started to focus more on how powers look and steered away from fighting and all its amazing weapons
I agree with the description. Although Monty isn't here to make the show as it once was, Kerry and Miles are trying their best to make the story good. They may not have good fighting animation skills as Monty but this is all they can do for now.
Ive listened to the opening a few times and Ive gotten used too it. Its personally not my favorite and the visuals seem like RT cut the budget extremly having multiple scenes of still images or at the end as well
Visual wise its my favorite without a doubt. Song wise not sure how to rate it. I love it, don't get me wrong! But I have to hear the whole song first.
No matter how much people shit on rwby, I thank everyone for living on to Monty oum.

i feel like im the only one who likes this song a lot more then trust love (first listen), maybe cuz im into dark songs and ALSO LAST SOUNDTRACK WAS MOSTLY HAPPY SONGS....thats also foreshadowing :O
I totally agree
For me. It’s the best RWBY OP hands down, no question. It effortlessly balances epic and rocking with romantically sad, classically-inspired moves, making it blow even the other dark OP (V3) completely out of the water.
I could listen to this on repeat even without the series, which, while not new to me for general RWBY songs, IS new for an OP, especially in its short in-show version.
@@senorsiro3748 you my friend is the MVP 🧡
Trust Love is easily my least favorite opening song lol. Love the visuals but the song is so meh compared to all the other openings in my opinion. This song slaps but tool some getting used to. Visuals are also fire here.
Imo this is the best op by far song wise and visually wise
I like Winter and Cinder's part.

That new intro had a lot of Nora in it. Either she's going to do something important or.... uh oh. Quick, everyone theorize that Nora is going to die! That way RT will have no choice but to prove us wrong or risk becoming predictable.
Penny's def gonna be hacked and lowkey might even get killed? I wouldn't be surprised if one of the other chars gets her maiden powers.
I hope nothing happens to Penny.
SHE IS A PURE ROBO CINAMON ROLL WHO SHOULDN"T BE TOUCHED LEST HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF
I agree. I can see Penny being a link between the winter maid's power and another owner. Who may the other one be?... I don't know... But I suddenly what to say Nora, even though Ruby would be a more buyable option because of Penny's and hers relationship. I dunno. I'm tired XD
Or what's worse, she gets hacked and kills someone. There are alot of death flags for people already this volume.
Arthur will probably hack her after learning the news about Penny then either A: penny turns evil/or dies B: she passes her power to someone before she turns C: nothing happens because the plot said so.
Watts is good with computers and so is her dad, I have a feeling that ironwood will probably force both of them to hack into penny so she can come back or attack the team since he said he'll make sacrifices no matter the cost.
*turns up volume*
The legend
I FR DID THAT AS SOON AS I REALIZED IT WAS REAL
*Pauses auxiliary cord*
I am scared for N and R’s lives. I am terrified for Penny as well, I am worried about Yang more generally. I am hopeful that my masochistic tendencies will be satiated by the ways this Volume will hurt, while my sadistic ones feed off of watching others go through it.
I highly doubt they will kill Penny. She already died once, and she has such an interesting arc... a synthetic girl with a real (piece of) soul trying to master maiden powers on the fly as this huge battle begins? It wouldn't make sense to have her die when she has so much material to offer for the story.
Why do I COMPLETELY relate?
literally everyone (but the titular characters for obvious reasons and Oscar) has a death flag. Qrow, Penny, Pietro, Maria, JNR, Winter, Robyn, you name it.
@Dillon Hiles she only has one extra life available and thats her father. once he transfers his aura again, he's probably going to die. that or literally any of the villains can assassinate pietro and penny would then be on her own without any chance of revival. then again, atlas is fucked and i don't think any scientists will be alive at the end of this volume to repair her if she dies twice.
@Dillon Hiles watch V7 again. She MIGHT have ONE extra life left, but if she does, it’s likely at the cost of Pietro’s. And even that is only if her core remains intact.
Then there’s the risk of her being hacked, or breaking down on her own given how depressed she is seeming.
I think ironwood is starting to lose feeling for anything he’s turning into the tin man (which is what he was based off) he lost his other arm the more machine he turns the more feeling for anything he loses
I mean, he is based on Tin-man for Dorthy, which lacks a heart..
Is that who he's inspired by??? That's actually so cool
@@navzee831 Ozpin, the wizard of Oz. Ironwood, the heartless Tin-man. Qrow, the brainless (or in his case drunks) scareqrow. And Lionheart, the cowardly lion.
People also seem to forget his semblance, Mettle when judging his actions. His decision making isn't quite like a normal human's. It's a passive semblance which gives him resolve and confidence in his actions, no matter how drastic.
He still makes his decisions without influence, of course but it's Mettle that causes him to not easily or not at all back down from them.

Finally a hero came and posted the opening
np g
Instead of showing the first seconds and freezing the rest of the vid and showing the full thing. I approve
Yeah, a true hero without a cape..
Remember when this was a rather wacky school comedy about students and their deadly weapons?
Few things to note
1. 0:56 Penny is facing the hero's in way that says "you are in my way"
2. 1:06 Neo and emerald enter the frame when the line "some lives end much to soon" which has me concerned for neo
3. 0:57 There are no atlas forces just grimm combine that with 0:42 i thinks it's possible atlas won't just be under siege. It will be wiped off the map.
Nothing better happen to Penny or Neo.
Otherwise RT and I are gonna have a problem.
The school was wiped in VOL3.
This opening gives off VOL3 vibes.
You might be right.
You have a point
I cant see Neo dying unless she loses a fight against Cinder who suddenly will feel she isnt useful anymore however, Salem might stop it because she didnt tell Cinder to do it or she sees that Neo is useful but Emerald hasnt shown she's useful to Cinder in a while she is just there now so to Cinder Neo is Emerald's replacement.
Why are they referencing the God of Light’s fountain? I guess it could just symbolize reaching for the light but being pulled down by darkness. It just seems too specific for the metaphor
Which line is that?
@@tyrianprotectionsquad8938 at the end with the golden water
Know who _also_ has fallen into a mysterious pool? Cinder Fall.
One theory I've had for a while is that Cinder may in fact be an immortal now -- whether Cinder herself is aware of this fact or not -- due to her falling into what I highly suspect to be the God of Light's Fountain of Life back in Volumes 5-6. After all, when Cinder first entered the Vault of the Spring Maiden the first thing she said was: *_"Hm. It's certainly grander than Beacon's. I wonder what the extra effort was for."_* If Cinder has indeed immortal, similarly to how Salem did, then it will be very interesting. She will become more dangerous than ever, and increase her chances of eventually surpassing Salem, if she ever considers doing so.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain eh, that was just plot convienence water, she was referring to the cool tree
@@conmanay4563 Who knows? It's entirely possible that this line of dialogue was foreshadowing this very theoretical event. You don't usually throw in a mysterious line of dialogue like that in that sort of situation for nothing.

Absolutely, one thing being Bumblebee (please don't come at be shippers). But, do I find the show great and entertaining? Heck yeah I do.

@@HighPriestFuneralnot how that works lmao
This has already become my favourite intro. And damn, this has so many hidden messages!
The thing that strikes me as funny from 0:11 to 0:15 is that on their weapons, Ruby is visiting Summer's grave, Weiss is remembering when she was still held back by her dad, Blake left her shitty ex, but Yang is just chilling with Zwei.
That is so Yang.
It's also true that everyone is in a combat stance but Yang.
I'm not gonna be smiling at the end of this volume am I?
Nope.
To put here what I sent to a friend just now:
This one's gonna be a train wreck that collides with an airplane, slams into a populated area, and starts a nationwide nuclear meltdown.

Salem: terrorize!
We started to watch RWBY 1.5 months ago, just finished on 7th ep of 8th season. As a new person on the fandom, I don't have all this "before were better", for me personally the quality of the show raises with every season - graphics, characters, story became better and better. The Team did great work and continue to do it.
I started rwby while vol. 7 was coming out and when I witnessed volume 3 it hurt pretty bad. Sadly, I saw a bit of spoilers about pyrrha's death because I was really into rwby at the time. So the end of vol. 3 didn't hit as hard. But this volume's op? This legitimately scares me and I'm nervous for what's to come. I can only hope the characters deaths in this won't be too.. Close to my heart.. 💔
Me, too.
I wanna bounce off the walls and squeal at the shit storm that is about to rain down on us.
At the same time, I wanna go curl up in a ball and cry cuz shit is gonna go down and we may lose more peeps.
Honestly, I miss the first two volumes. Can we go back to those days? Where all they had to worry about was Cardin bullying people and getting the girl, or guy, of their dreams?
Same
Jayman556 Atleast you’re one of the fans who genuinely feels for them :3
I have a feeling they’re scared of Weiss’s dress clipping if she does any of the stuff she use to do so I guess that’s why they turn her in to a wizard
Or it's just way easier to animate than what we saw in the white trailer
I hate how they basically turned Weiss into a Pokemon trainer by having her overuse summoning.
@@ingridfigueroa7917 Yeah she had such a cool fighting style. I love swift and graceful fighting styles and it's disappointing to see her go away from the really cool stuff she used to do to some ranged blaster type/summoner.

She was always a wizard. How else would you explain her crap hp?

Roosterteeth really said "hey you know how renora is a fun, uncontroversial ship that everybody loves? we should make it be not that way"
Finally, Cinder's time has come! Once swimming in power and success at the climax of Volume 3, she has fallen far since then. And, as we all know: *_"falls from grace are never elegant."_* Perhaps this is where she truly begins to rise again, or fall even further -- time will tell.
I bet, this time she gonna get 2 maiden powers.
This is the most anime opening so far wtff
Imagine if neo gets the relic of creation and recreates roman

I think this is the first Rwby song I didn't like right off the first listen. I think I will get into it if I listen to it more times like some songs I end up liking after multiple listens.

Agreed-
same tbh

@@narutoboy423 I Agree With You 100%.
I didn't hit replay 4576720 times, you did.
I sure did and still going.
I wish they'd go back to Weiss being a graceful fighter instead of constantly relying on her summon. Like, give me Weiss from the White Trailer who utilized close combat and her dust abilities simultaneously. If we do get a Winter vs. Weiss fight scene, I hope they give us that good Weiss from the White Trailer.
Weiss using her rapier in the opening moments of her fight vs. Marrow was honestly the highlight of V7 for me. I do really think that she is primed to have a solo fight this volume. Weiss vs. Winter sounds amazing and I can definitely see it happening. It would be a great character moment for the both the sisters, no doubt. There's also the potential for Weiss vs. Emerald to happen considering it's been hinted at and even straight up teased by Neath. I just want to see her fight more and adopt the hybrid style of glyphs and fencing that we saw her do in V2. For the love of God please let her use time dilation again.
@@Cepheus773 I would love for weiss to use "ZA WARUDO" again...
Yes, that was a jojo ref-
I LOVE how they kept a consistent visual theme with this opening, with the rotating camera and the very stilted feel -- great stuff!
“Some evil will never, ever die,” the song says as Salem is front and center...
I definitely feel that, whenever that day comes, Salem will be either brought to a point of surrender, or finally defeated by means of ridding her of her darkness. ‘Cause she’s not going down my “standard” means, that’s for sure.
Technically three other villains appeared on the screen between that lyric and Salem, but I see where you're coming from. Although, it is interesting to note all those villains including Salem are surrounded by the inferno released by Cinder just before.
As for Salem, there is still another way (if you weren't already referring to this): she could be redeemed. After all, the God of Light said that she would only ever be released from her curse of immortality and be able to rest if she learnt the importance of life and death.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain Yeah, I definitely realize that the lyric starts as early as Tyrian showing up, and could be a general “there’s always gonna be evil out to get you,” I just liked thinking that Salem was the key subject. ;)
And yeah, I don’t know why my mind drew a blank on that word but yeah, redemption was what I was thinking of. How, though, I don’t know, but I just have a feeling that’s how we’ll see this war end at some point, with Salem fully realizing the significance of life and death.
@@HyperHunt621 That's what I've suspected would most likely happen since the first time I saw Volume 6 Chapter 3. The question then is whether Salem getting redeemed is the final endgame of the show, or if that's not the final boss and the heroes will have to contend with Cinder one more time afterwards. The final antagonist of this show will be one of those two -- the two main antagonists of RWBY -- and honestly, depending on how things go, it could be either or.
@@TheGreater-ScopeVillain Considering that at this point it’s somewhat predictable (we just don’t know how it’ll play out) I actually kind of hope it’s not the endgame for our heroes. Still, they could make that episode an absolute heartwrencher of a series finale and I’d probably still love it.

OK WTF DID I JUST SEE 😭😭😭 I haven't even seen episode 1 cuz of issues and I decided to watch the opening now I want to see it even more now
AHHHHHH I CANT DEAL, I HAVENT EVEN WATCHED ANYTHING BUT SEASON 8 GOT EMOTIONS HURTING
I’m concerned about penny and Nora’s fates
For me, these volumes just keep getting better and better. I've always enjoyed each chapter in the volumes. Bash me if you'd like, but I will always love each volume they bring out.
Am I the only one who get chills at the part "some evil will never ever die" when they show Salem.
I don't understand people dunking on this opening theme. I think it's way better than a lot of their previous openings.
I'm having Volume 3 flash backs to it's opening. Its probably going to grow on me and some others but we shall see.
Neo’s reaction to Cinder lookin like she’s a badass Queen is my exact reaction
I looove the extra grit Casey has in the voice for this one! She really is just getting better and better.
Wait a second... Nora is focused on in the intro and has red hair. OH NO-
I wish I had a speaker. I really wish I did. I mean, this intro hits HARD. The lyrics is so sad, but man does it sound AWESOME. Great job Casey! Great job Jeff!
guess the aspects of the dark atmosphere of the opening shows us how serious their situation is with salem and everything else.
season 1 vs season 8 is like a game running on a ps2 vs a game on ps5. animation is gorgeous
Even though I love RWBY, if I kept it's volume 1 animation, I don't think it would've last thing long lol
0:43 I'm betting that General Ironwood will crack under pressure of fear, despair and hopelessness 1st.
I rlly don't want to say this but... this opening gives me the feeling that something is gonna happen to Nora and Ren... This opening is focused on them and it gives me a theory that... Nora might lose Ren in this volume...
Or it could be vice versa?
oop- maybe
Either way if one of them is gonna die, it'll hurt the fandom hard just like how pyrrha died
Indeed... I'M NOT EVEN READY FOR THIS :c
In V7 all characters needed to Trust in one another and they failed. And whem you fail to earn the trust of someone or you lose someone's trust because of ours feelings or thoughts, there will be Division. And, whether we like it or not, the passing of someone can also be considered as a Division. And that's what this volume will talk about.
Analyzing the intro, we can point out some important things such as:
- Our Heroes are divided. They'll probably go into different tasks. In my opinion, Ruby, Nora Weiss, Blake and Penny will try to reunite Mantle with Atlas. However Oscar, Jaune, Ren and Yang prefer fight as many Grimm they can instead trying to unite people;
- As seen in V7 Finale, Atlas and Mantle are divided, which will lead Ironwood to do everything he can (even bad things) to protect the Kingdom from Salem. He already declared Martial Law, which is not something good for Atlas itself. With that in mind, the people that he trust will start to doubt and there'll be a division. Problably Winter, who appears very disappointed in the intro;
- Renora will end. It's sad? Yes. But is important for both characters' development. I've watched this intro about six times. And I'm concluding that Ren will be the one who'll die. Why? Because of the petal scene in the intro. Ren let the wind blow on it and Nora couldn't grab it.
- Judging by the intro, we can also expect a division in the Villans. In the last Salem scene she's with Hazel, Tyrian and Mercury. Neither Cinder nor Watts are included. In my opinion, Cinder will look after the new Winter Maiden (Penny) and for Ruby deviating from Salem's plan one last time and she'll be with Neo and Emerald. And Watts probalbly will die.
Didn't watch the EP01 because I'm not a RT FIRST. But I'm pretty excited about this volume. And I'm feeling V3 feelings back again.
Yeah this Vol feels like there is gonna be a few casualties on both sides and friendships and bonds will be severed. I'm kinda exited for this and not ready for the emotional rollercoaster we will be going through.
Cinder screwing over Salem seems quite likely, with Neo and Emerald joining up because neither seems to willing to side with the devil (Salem), but them all teaming up with Penny and going rogue as a third party?
That's BIG BRAINED and if it happens you're a genius.
@@Iridescent_Astraea Well, that's my point of view. Cinder will split from Salem with Neo and Emerald and create another party in the war. And that's quite obvious. Since V1 she's presented as this selfish and independent character with her own minions. Being a minion of Salem is a major problem for her as character because she wants power and she'll keep looking for the power of the Maidens no matter what costs.
Correct if I'm wrong, but I interpreted you talking about Cinder Faction teaming up with Penny. Actually, what I was implying is that Cinder, Emerald and Neo are going to hunt Penny now that she is the new Winter Maiden. And I think they'll not succeed. Why? If you watch the opening again and fast forward to Pietro/Watts appearance you'll notice that Pietro and Penny are aligned in a room while Watts is in another room and right behind Pietro. That implies a change of command for Penny. Real Pietro still works on his console while his reflection looks for Penny and when the camera goes to her she's in doubt and the mirror shatters. I believe Watts will kill Pietro and hack Penny (just like the last moments of the opening imply). Therefore Penny must be sacrificed as the power of a Maiden will be in grave danger. Now, who'll kill Penny? I don't know for sure. But I have some ideas. My strongests guesses for replacing the Winter Maiden are Winter (that will change sides) or Weiss.
when u don't have RT FIRST... i feel u
I don't know if anyone else noticed this but when Clover's pin was dropped and we saw the Ace ops each piece of the pin was split into two and you notice that Elm and Marrow both had part of their bodies leaning to the right part of it with a little bit of their body on the left side, however Vine has his body equally split on both sides and when we see Harriet and Crow, Harriet is completely to the left and Crow was completely to the right. I definitely think this is signifying their trust and loyalty for ironwood and his goal .Where it shows that Vine is completely impartial ,but Harriet is completely for ironwood and her duty,while Crow has lost all faith in james.But marrow and elm are slowly starting to shift their Moral values and leading to the side of not being with ironwood.
could be complete BS but I thought it was interesting
"some heroes join tje wrong side" penny flies off
later on in the opening, shes seen as a sketch, which then turns red, around 1:25. im scared.
if happens penny or nora it.
I like winter's new suit, and i like that emerald and mercury are back and with new suits too (not sure about mercury) never the less I like it very much

Its nice to see a comment section where people aren't ragging on the show and bringing down the mood. Im super excited, and while Im not a huge fan of the music (it sounds really off beat), the visuals are really good and there's so much to speculate on!
I hope we can get more about Cinder's character, it seems she'll have more importance and that's really exciting. And maybe we'll get some more Nora backstory too? :0 theres alot of focus on her in this.
Maybe the staff of creation also has a 'physical' form of sorts like the lamp does! The mist that it gave was a darker blue and I'm wondering if it'll continue the pinocchio theme and be the blue fairy?
I think its supposed to sound off. It shows how not in sync everything is. Its aggressive and almost distorted. This song reminds .e so much of VOL3 but even more so.
@@LuShadow357 Yeah it feels so all over the place, but in a good way? I don't know what's gonna happen next and there is so much going on in the visuals and music that I feel like I won't get bored watching it every episode as ill discover something new every time.
In my opinion the music is fine, but the actual intro feels super choppy and janky to me, maybe it’s the animation.
crytyping cryptid
Nah I get what you mean, people can’t seem to leave it alone long enough for it to be finished. Like every episode is reviewed the moment it comes out. Like, I get the criticism and stuff about the show but then again it’s just a show people like to watch. Let them be.
@@diminuendo61 You think so? I just find it fast paced.
HAPPILY EVER NEVER AFTER AGAIN
HAPPILY EVER AFTER NEVER AGAIN
No it’s “Happy Never Again”
Or at least that’s what I think it’s trying to say
@@isaacbluestone1462 it's a play on the classic fairy tale saying "happily ever after" so it says "happy(?) never again"
*screams* AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tyrians small part in the OP gives me hope he’ll make it to future volumes
Thank you for posting the op. Now I can watch it in loop and try to figure out who is going to be brutally taken away from is this volume.
Penny better not die
@@drguineapig8755
If Penny doesn't die then my theory is Ruby will use the staff of creation to turn her into a real girl. Thus negating Watts hacking her.
@@anime_fan_1006 OMG that is one of the best RWBY Theories I’ve ever seen.
@@drguineapig8755
Yeah this is the one RWBY theory that I hope comes true. Also I wasn't the one who originally came up with this theory.
Are you nervous about how everyone in Mantle is gathering in one spot? Cause we know Salem is either going to slaughter Mantle first or demolish Atlas so it crushes everyone in the crater.
@@anime_fan_1006 yeah that might not have been the best idea.
Hey looks Neo finally appeared in a opening for the first time in 5 openings
Finally someone posted the op! This volume is going to be dark.
don't mind me, just doing my jobe here:
Volume 1: Happy smiles
Volume 2: Happy smiles...?
Volume 3: SUFFERING, PAIN AND BLOOD
Volume 4: Depression
Volume 5: A happy kind of depression
Volume 6: More depression
Volume 7: Everything is fine... but it's not... i smell it.
Volume 8: IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN
I REMEMBER UR COMMENT FROM LAST VOLUMES OP LMFAOOO
**sees the squad fall into a pit of grimm**
Me: *STAY CALM STAY CALM STAY FUCKING CALM*
Could you imagine that the ending is that they lose and Salem takes over for good as we watch out favorite characters die out 1 by 1.
my most anticipated song in the entire RWBY franchise. holy moly this thing slaps
Ren and Nora have so many death flags right now that they may as well be speaking in semaphore
I wonder how penny being a maiden effects her father? I kinda think mercury is on of Salem's people now. Penny is the hero of this volume I think andddddd who else thought that cinder winters fight was super bad I can't get it out of my head, winter is supposed to be the bomb the way she fought qrow and the way she fought cinder... NO something was wrong.
0:56 Penny flew up to fight against team RWBY so she will definitely not be the hero
@@LuffyxNamiisathing the eye change at the end got me thinking something gonna happened with Penny
You know cinder is a much more dangerous fighter with her maiden powers than Qrow, right? Plus Qrow was barely even trying in their fight.
I'm telling u she is
@@duperdog1780 maybe its because I really liked winter and expected a lot from her but u cannot tell me rwby had started to focus more on how powers look and steered away from fighting and all its amazing weapons
Whoever designed this intro is a genius for putting Salem in the intro at 0:26 as Casey says "peace" since Salem (ironically) is a word meaning peace.
*---MISSION FAILED---*
*"WE'LL GET EM NEXT TIME"*
I agree with the description. Although Monty isn't here to make the show as it once was, Kerry and Miles are trying their best to make the story good. They may not have good fighting animation skills as Monty but this is all they can do for now.
1:09 the lyrics as soon as Salem shows up tho
This channel has massive respect just read the description good on ya
Oscar!!! protect this sweet boi 😭😭😭😭
this is the best opening, visual wise and song wise. (my opinion btw)
I agree, took me a few listens to truly appreciate the song but I love it now...scary thing is that's what happened with the v3 opening for me 🙃
Ive listened to the opening a few times and Ive gotten used too it. Its personally not my favorite and the visuals seem like RT cut the budget extremly having multiple scenes of still images or at the end as well
Visual wise its my favorite without a doubt. Song wise not sure how to rate it. I love it, don't get me wrong! But I have to hear the whole song first.
Yes.
