A few spoiler free fun facts: About the Fireball Dog (Zwei): In Volume 1 Pyrrha says that all living things have Aura, including animals. Zwei lives with a family of fighters, so it makes sense that his Aura would unlocked. Also the name Zwei is a reference to a dog in the anime Cowboy Bebop where there’s a dog named Ein (“Eins” is German for “one” and Zwei is German for “two”) Fun fact about Doctor Oobleck’s voice actor: His line “Detach the caboose! It could kill us all!” Is a reference to another Rooster Teeth show called Red vs Blue, where Oobleck’s voice actor also does the voice for a character named Caboose (who is known for accidentally killing his teammates) Also I have a friend who was hesitating to watch RWBY. Until he learned about a “sassy mute” and demanded that we watch it together. We’re still in the middle of Volume 5 because our schedules rarely align, but he likes the show!
"What about Zwei and professor..?" Me: Doctor Also fun facts about Neo's weapon: 1) Like many in the RWBY universe it has a name. Neo's weapon is called Hush. 2) the tip of the umbrella as you've probably noticed has a hole for the blade to poke out of. Good for stabbing without having to unsheathe the entire blade. 3) Roman wanted to add a gun but apparently Neo was adamant about keeping it silent and Roman relented eventually and did add it. (This fact is from the Wiki)
@@tristancampbell4941 Understandable! She's extremely short, and the only reason I think she's over 21 at this point is because of information in the book about her and Roman
When you realize Oobleck's coffee is strong enough to fuel a flamethrower.And always felt the fight inside the train would've been so much different if Yang and Weiss had taken the other's opponents.
@@vsimp2956 true and Weiss is the glass cannon of the bunch. But she's also much more agile than Yang and often uses her glyphs to attack quickly from many angles. While Yang would have had a much easier time taking hits from chainsaw boi. Also Yang's biggest weakness has always been her temper.
Remember earlier in the volume that Yang revealed to Blake that she and Ruby are technically half-sisters....same Dad but Summer Rose is Ruby's mom; Yang's Mom left her Dad right after Yang was born, so she has no actual memory of her birth mother. Summer Rose raised both girls until she left on her final mission and never returned (and is presumed dead). Yang revealed to Blake that finding her birth Mother is one of the things that drives her to this day but that it doesn't control her. Remember this detail about Ruby & Yang's parents.
Fun fact. We actually missed the end credit scene at first then when editing saw there was an end scene so went back to record and watch it. You’ll see a costume change in next video 😂🤗
Even years later I think the funniest part of the episode is the idea that Ruby realizes she needs backup and her solution is to call the weakest 1st year student in the entire school as opposed to literally anyone else.
Fan fact she was based on a gender-bent Roman cosplayer, Monty and/or his wife liked. She was mute because they didn't have time to get her voice she was a last-minute addition, and later they kept her mute. (First they used her character to help Roman escape)
The fan art isn't actually of the characters themselves but of the voice actresses. Also they are lined up in reverse of how we normally see team RWBY. Left to right Barbara Dunkelman who plays Yang, Arryn Zech who plays Blake, Kara Eberle who plays Weiss, and Lindsay Jones who plays Ruby.
I really like the comment you made about the girls on the train fighting the wrong opponents. Weiss may have had a better chance against Neo, Neo certainly seemed like a good counter to Yang.
That fight scene of Yang v Neo was the most insane fight to witness till the “Mysterious Woman” show up 😲 I can say that she is the most amazing fighter that I can’t wait to see you two react on who it might be 😄
I wouldn’t say the “Mysterious Woman” is *_the_* most amazing fighter - Cinder and Ozpin are both superior in pure fighting skill - but she’s certainly one of the greatest in the world.
Ren is based on mulan I believe. It's a pretty good reveal who that actually was. I love this series, especially the earlier volumes. It's about to pick up and loving seeing y'all watch it.
Others have already mentioned about Zwei (and other animals in general) having aura, which is why he can be turned into a fireball and remain unharmed. Zweis family are Huntsmen/Huntresses, so he's a total badass too. And since you brought up Ruby and Yangs mother, remember, they're half sisters. Yangs mum abandoned her and their dad after she was born, and Ruby's mum Summer went missing during a mission and is presumed dead. Also don't forget that there's 4 more World of Remnants between season 2 and 3, specifically there are 3 you should watch in-between the seasons, titled "Vytal Festival Tournament", "Huntsmen" and "Cross Continental Transmit System". The 4th one from that season you can leave until a little later on.
7:56 They DID say every living creature has an aura and it's just a matter of know how to use it. What I really want to know is what Zwei's semblance is.
Aaaah, finally this episode! The fight Yang vs. Neo was definitely one of the best in the entire series. Also you guys singing the first part of the intro really made my day :D You were great^^
if you want a better idea at who mystery woman is watch the volume 2 finale post credit scene as she takes her mask off. also the art at end where use said them as real people is actually the voice actresses
so fun fact remember way back wen they said everyone has aura including dogs? ya zwei can fight cuz of his aura he has. its also why him being tossed around isnt as bad as u might think.also neo is mute so she will express her self otherways
69th like, nice. Here's some interesting bits... At 5:45, one of the White Fang members does the Wilhelm scream, a famous stock sound effect, as he falls off the train. Also, The train engine serial number is 0905. It is the same model as the train seen in the "Black" Trailer, but with a different serial number.
Awww yes... one episode closer to the awesome intro of Team CFVY and there kick ass theam song. Velvet doesn't get to show off her power till next season
With her flawless evasion and fighting technique, and a powerful semblance, Neo might be one of the best fighters in Remnant. Most people struggle to even land a hit on her. Also, humorously, Casey Williams (the singer of most of RWBY's songs) is listed as Neo's voice actor, despite Neo being mute.
And the singer for the series is still only 15 yo at the time of this volume. Amazing talent. Yes, they shoot as well as Storm Troopers do. lol "Blake detach the caboose..." Well, it wouldn't be the first time she's detached cars on a train. 🤣 Here, you also see a slight hesitation in Blake. After all, she's fighting members of the White Fang that she may have come across before. It's definitely a difficult thing to fight against ones you might have known. At 6:35, it's surprising how many don't notice that the grimm is almost the same design as the Screechers from Tremors 2. Here at 7:50, where Oobleck turns Zwei into a fireball, you may want to remember this point. It's another case of them doing something and then giving a possible explanation as to how, later in the series. How did Zwei know to do that for Oobleck, and know what was going to happen when he did? Also, remember that all living things have an Aura, as Pyrrha explained in the first volume. Neo is one of the best fighters in the series. She's also got my favorite fighting style. Very sure of herself, and rightfully so. However, putting Yang, a hand-to-hand fighter, up against a long reach fighter, immediately put her at a disadvantage. Weiss would have been the better choice here. Exactly. Yang and Weiss should have switched opponents. He's big and slower, so brute force vs brute force. While Neo and Weiss are both elegant fighters.
One of my favourite episodes!! Thank you for bringing me back to Rwby after all these years. Got lost for a while, but it's always a joy re-experiencing it with people for their first time. Edit: I should also add it's one of the last examples of Monty Oum's choreographical genius. Yang vs. Neo and Weiss vs. Chainsaw Massacre are both just *chef's kiss*
A runaway train filled with bombs that attract Grimm, Yang vs Neo (plus that mysterious woman that saved Yang's life), Weiss vs that Chainsaw armed White Fang goon, Blake vs Torchwick, Oobleck and Zwei vs those Mechs, a violent crash to the surface, and now we got a Grimm invasion in Vale. Things sure have escalated quickly.
I have to say it was very interesting who you guys thought the woman that saved Yang was. A lot of people's first thought was that she was related to Adam and others would think she was with the White Fang. This is the first time hearing someone think of Ruby or her mother.
All living creatures have aura. So Zwie has his own force field, and probably a semblance. Fun fact about Roman is that he has no semblance and I'm not sure his aura is activated. This is because he is meant to be a representation of what humans can still be capable of on skill alone. This song will be very important for next episode. ua-cam.com/video/yQ94uM_e4P4/v-deo.html
Something that will be mentioned later on but that is in effect since the beginning of the series is that all Hunters have something of a protective field around them all all times, like an energy shield. This is why they can get slashed and exploded and kicked everywhere without showing obvious damage (they do feel pain though). This shield is related to their Aura powers but it CAN get broken though, and in the future it will be shown that after prolonged punishment they actually starts getting hurt for real.
Actually, the "Katana" is actually what's called an Odachi, it's essentially a longer katana that was designed as an anti-cavalry weapon meant to kill both the horse and rider.
I feel like you guys are right on time starting my favorite series. Volume 9 premieres a week from today and I’m super excited!!! Be careful of spoilers but just know that things get crazy. Can’t wait for y’all to catch up!
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 there is no definitive end as of now. The writers have claimed that before Monty Oum passed away they had come up with roughly 10 volumes worth of content. Then again the arc that starts in volume 7 was originally planned for volume 3 or 4. They’ll likely get to at least 15 volumes at their current rate, so we’ll all have content to enjoy for years to come! (P.S. once you finish vol 2 you’ll be spoiler free for Yang’s death battle)
So to help clarify why Dr. Oobleck can hit Zwei like a weapon is because of Zwei's aura most likely. Remember animals have aura's just like humans do. Zwei technically stays with Ruby and Yang's father who's a pro huntsman. He most likely trained Zwei to be a companion to help fight grimm. Oobleck probably understood this and uses Zwei to help him as well. Also, please react to the special Tribute to Monty Oum by Rooster Teeth after you finish the next episode. As you may know, Monty passed away after Volume 2 aired and before Volume 3 did. I think it would be a great tribute if you all reacted to a tribute video of him. ua-cam.com/video/_465XaHoiGs/v-deo.html Fun Facts: Fact 1: At 6:07, one of the White Fang members does the Wilhelm scream, a famous stock sound effect, as he falls off the train. Fact 2: On the train Dr. Oobleck orders Blake to "detach the caboose" as it will "kill us all". This is a reference to the Red vs. Blue character Caboose, who is also voiced by Joel Heyman, and has a habit of accidentally harming his teammates. Fact 3: Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross mentioned at the 2014 Rooster Teeth MCM London ComicCon panel that they had planned for the episode to be titled "Blake's on a Train", as a reference to the movie Snakes on a Plane, but it was rejected by Rooster Teeth in favor of "No Brakes". Fact 4: The train engine serial number is 0905. It is the same model as the train seen in the "Black" Trailer, but with a different serial number.
It explains a lot about Oobleck when you realize what he's constantly drinking might be coffee, but it's definitely rocket fuel. And given that this is the very first time in her life Yang's been in a serious fight against somebody who clearly knew in advance what not to do... that was a very low price for the lesson in what her weaknesses were. Neo wasn't entirely being gentle: she's the second-worst matchup out of her "team" for an unexpected fight against Yang and she didn't have any way to win that was both quick and reliable. (Which is also why she - carefully - went for a kill shot as soon as that was an option. Subdual wasn't a practical option at that time.) And it's kind of okay to like Neo. She's only in this because Roman Torchwick is, and while he very much isn't a good guy, he's arguably the least bad guy on his side - or the least committed bad guy. He has no ideological stake, and is aware this isn't even going to pay well after you factor in how the damage it'll do to society affects purchasing power.
I feel like this question has been asked before but I’m just really curious would you by chance watch red vs blue after this series they released all their season in about one hour videos so it’s easier to watch or you can watch the episodes separately so that your videos aren’t too long
12:59 - well... It will be revealed in the Postcredit-Scene in the Last Episode of Volume 2. BUT this Postcredit-Scene is Not Canon! And the next Time you "actuall" See this Character is LATER
A reminder that there’s a soundtrack list as well as World of Remnant information from me in your Chapter 6 reaction - and don’t forget to stick around for the after credits scene next chapter! :)
Widely considered the best episode of the season. I’m not sure I agree, since Episode 1 (the food fight) is my go-to whenever I’m having a bad day. But it’s definitely in the top five. Quite a lot packed in. Yang Vs. Neo, Weiss Vs. The Lieutenant, Blake Vs. Roman, Oobleck + Ruby + Zwei Vs. Paladins, Yang’s savior, a runaway train, and then that massive cliffhanger. It’s relentless. But god damn, is it awesome! Just a pity we have to wait a full WEEK for the finale!
Spoiler Free: Episode 12 CVFY HYPE!!!! ALSO the picture at the end was each of the character's voice actors painted as their characters (yes, it is awesome)
Unfortunately for Yang, Neo’s fighting style is to let her opponent come to her and maneuver around their attacks. And since Yang prefers to get up close and personal, Neo is the worst opponent she can face as that plays right into her style making it very easy to overpower Yang.
Weiss should’ve absolutely killed that guy lmao and Neo imo is the best hand to hang fighter in rwby no one is as skilled I don’t think and I’m all the way caught up such a dope character also po peck knew zwei before they came out on the mission that’s probably how he know to smack him like that (I hope😅)
Yang's mother is not supposed to be dead, she said to Blake that her mother left, she abandoned her with her father, why? That's what Yang wants to know and why she is searching her, could be that misterious woman? Who knows? 👀💦

Hush. Great name 😀
Everytime I see Neo just toy with Yang, I say to myself "The absolute audacity of this kid"😂
I’m pretty sure Neo is over the age of 21 at this point in time

Yup. That would’ve been a better match up for each one of them 🙂
possibly, but at this point in time I don't think any of team RWBY could take Neo on a 1v1. Maybe if they came at her as a group.

Neo is the best character in the series. Everytime you see her pay attention to her expression and what she does.
Since she is mute thats the only way.
no best character doesn't show up till volume 6 neo is best girl
I wouldn't say the Best, sure she is cool but far from the best

😎👍😀
Guys, the pupper got turned into a fiery cannonball, a little train crash ain't gonna do anything to our boi Zwei

I am gonna say it again, after "season" 3, I recommend RWBY Chibi as a palette cleanser. Its a lighthearted official comedy show of RWBY.
Makes us think season 3 is gonna be super depressing 😨😱
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 be prepared to clutch your pearls
Volume 3 does change the tone of RWBY, there's no getting around that. RWBY Chibi should be mandatory after volume 3 tho.
She’s here!
I always liked Neo but I never really loved her until she became my main in blazblue lmao
Nice 😁 always opposite for me in games. My favorite characters somehow always end up being super weak in games 🤗
Neo's fighting style is all about reflecting her opponents attacks with her parasol and wait for them to make a mistake
Aways felt there was a lot of Akido in her moves. She likes to turn people's attacks against them.
@@dphalanx7465 yeah that's what I was probably poorly trying to get at

Mulan is the basis of a different character, one that's been around since Vol 1. 8)
Neo's fighting style is based on soft kung-fu such as tai chi and crane used with umbrella and hidden sword
As a matter of fact, Ren is based on Mulan.

So to help clarify why Dr. Oobleck can hit Zwei like a weapon is because of Zwei's aura most likely. Remember animals have aura's just like humans do. Zwei technically stays with Ruby and Yang's father who's a pro huntsman. He most likely trained Zwei to be a companion to help fight grimm. Oobleck probably understood this and uses Zwei to help him as well.
Also, please react to the special Tribute to Monty Oum by Rooster Teeth after you finish the next episode. As you may know, Monty passed away after Volume 2 aired and before Volume 3 did. I think it would be a great tribute if you all reacted to a tribute video of him. ua-cam.com/video/_465XaHoiGs/v-deo.html
Fun Facts:
Fact 1: At 6:07, one of the White Fang members does the Wilhelm scream, a famous stock sound effect, as he falls off the train.
Fact 2: On the train Dr. Oobleck orders Blake to "detach the caboose" as it will "kill us all". This is a reference to the Red vs. Blue character Caboose, who is also voiced by Joel Heyman, and has a habit of accidentally harming his teammates.
Fact 3: Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross mentioned at the 2014 Rooster Teeth MCM London ComicCon panel that they had planned for the episode to be titled "Blake's on a Train", as a reference to the movie Snakes on a Plane, but it was rejected by Rooster Teeth in favor of "No Brakes".
Fact 4: The train engine serial number is 0905. It is the same model as the train seen in the "Black" Trailer, but with a different serial number.
It explains a lot about Oobleck when you realize what he's constantly drinking might be coffee, but it's definitely rocket fuel. And given that this is the very first time in her life Yang's been in a serious fight against somebody who clearly knew in advance what not to do... that was a very low price for the lesson in what her weaknesses were. Neo wasn't entirely being gentle: she's the second-worst matchup out of her "team" for an unexpected fight against Yang and she didn't have any way to win that was both quick and reliable. (Which is also why she - carefully - went for a kill shot as soon as that was an option. Subdual wasn't a practical option at that time.)
And it's kind of okay to like Neo. She's only in this because Roman Torchwick is, and while he very much isn't a good guy, he's arguably the least bad guy on his side - or the least committed bad guy. He has no ideological stake, and is aware this isn't even going to pay well after you factor in how the damage it'll do to society affects purchasing power.
13:10 That is someone we have had mentioned before.
8:50 Neo's shorter, actually. Yang's 5'8", Neo's 4'10"
I feel like this question has been asked before but I’m just really curious would you by chance watch red vs blue after this series they released all their season in about one hour videos so it’s easier to watch or you can watch the episodes separately so that your videos aren’t too long
We aren’t opposed to it. Haven’t committed for sure yet but it’s definitely on our radar and we enjoy playing Halo 🙂
Enjoy the rollercoaster that is RWBY. You will get a full array of emotion, and that is all I will say as I do not want to spoil anything for you.
any fight with neopolitan is always
Boy I really do like ice cream.
Also the Mystery Woman... yeah, if you're like me you're gonna learn to just shy of hate her.
It’s worth saying now before you react to episode 12 but there is a post credit scene that you won’t want to miss
Notice a glitch in neo's eyes when the colour swaped?
😯 we missed that
Zwei is a super doggo
Zwei has an aura, so he's totally fine from Oobleck's stunt.
Fun connection many miss-
Gee whillickers I wonder what happens to all the Faunus they knock into and off the train in the tunnel swarmed by Grimm.
I won't leave spoilers, but I got a good Roman Torchwick style chuckle from two things. All things in time.
😯🤔 appreciate the no spoilers but now we are intrigued
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 You said no spoilers. I've written this on my nightstand and I'll let you know who was right and who was wrong in time.
Neo is one of my absolute favorites on this show!
12:59 - well...
It will be revealed in the Postcredit-Scene in the Last Episode of Volume 2.
BUT
this Postcredit-Scene is Not Canon!
And the next Time you "actuall" See this Character is LATER
Hmm. Wonder why they changed the post credit scene to non canon 🤔
Zwei got that dog in him
A reminder that there’s a soundtrack list as well as World of Remnant information from me in your Chapter 6 reaction - and don’t forget to stick around for the after credits scene next chapter! :)
For the record Lie Ren is the one based on Mulan
Widely considered the best episode of the season. I’m not sure I agree, since Episode 1 (the food fight) is my go-to whenever I’m having a bad day. But it’s definitely in the top five.
Quite a lot packed in. Yang Vs. Neo, Weiss Vs. The Lieutenant, Blake Vs. Roman, Oobleck + Ruby + Zwei Vs. Paladins, Yang’s savior, a runaway train, and then that massive cliffhanger. It’s relentless. But god damn, is it awesome!
Just a pity we have to wait a full WEEK for the finale!
There are secret endings to each volume so stay and watch the credits
Spoiler Free: Episode 12 CVFY HYPE!!!!
ALSO the picture at the end was each of the character's voice actors painted as their characters (yes, it is awesome)
You won't need to worry about binging this show for awhile. Volume 9 is coming out soon
RWBY definitely got teamed with the wrong dance partners in the train fight.
But the action choreo was awesome!
Weiss is such an awesome fighter! ❄
for the end art,. it is not RWBY as real poeple,. those are the actual voice actresses of the characters
Unfortunately for Yang, Neo’s fighting style is to let her opponent come to her and maneuver around their attacks. And since Yang prefers to get up close and personal, Neo is the worst opponent she can face as that plays right into her style making it very easy to overpower Yang.
Love the way Neo fights
We had to wait almost 2 years for volume 9...
6:05 Quick reminded that they just killed a man.
Neo and fire puppy =favorites
The ending painting/picture was of the voice actors of team RWBY
Thanks! 😀
One more episode closer to Volume 3!
They have different mothers
Weiss should’ve absolutely killed that guy lmao and Neo imo is the best hand to hang fighter in rwby no one is as skilled I don’t think and I’m all the way caught up such a dope character also po peck knew zwei before they came out on the mission that’s probably how he know to smack him like that (I hope😅)
Yang's mother is not supposed to be dead, she said to Blake that her mother left, she abandoned her with her father, why? That's what Yang wants to know and why she is searching her, could be that misterious woman? Who knows? 👀💦
Only ruby's mom is dead yang's mother just left she didnt die
For some reason I can't find your reaction to the next episode of this volume. Was it removed for some reason?
Rooster Teeth is doing mass copyright claims. Some resulting in blocking the video. We are working on getting it unblocked 😕
@@DefinitelyNotDefinitive2 Ah, that's a shame, but understandable. No rush though!
14:58 Doctor.
