Correct foreshadowing is used when new details create new context for old information... RWBY likes to use obscure tiny details, turn them into callbacks, and call it foreshadowing. Some in this video are actually pretty good, but it doesn't hold up since they don't really plan to make many of the details actually meaningful when they're revealed.
@@XerKoro_neo True. Though, one thing I like that Miles and Kerry do is that they have, for years now, made an effort to try to establish a character's existence before that character is relevant. As far as I can tell, they have done that for pretty much every major character except for Whitley, Tyrian, and Hazel. Even Watts' existence had been foreshadowed, by his W emblem appearing on Cinder's Scroll in, I believe, Volume 3 Episode 3, when she used the virus program to set up Coco & Yatsu vs Emerald & Mercury.
With Ironwood being the Headmaster of Atlas and Leonardo Lionheart being the Headmaster of Haven, what do you think the chances are of Shade Academy's Headmaster (in Vacuo) being loosely based off of the Scarecrow?

It saddens me that no one ever talks about how perfectly ironwood was set up for volume 7. Every little line, every detail, was maybe planned, maybe not, but perfectly utilised nonetheless
Yeah, he's one of the best and most consistently written characters in the show. When they introduced him in Volume 2, they set him up in a way where we would see and understand exactly what he's about, exactly what kinda character he is, and they made it make sense that he has gone down this path. - He brought a military fleet to the kingdom where they were about to hold a festival that celebrates _peace_ and _unity_ between kingdoms, which Ozpin pointed out was an awkward move. He did it just because Qrow's message worried him. Torchwick used the panel in one of the ships to have the virus turn Ironwood's robots against everyone. He made an aggressive move out of worry and fear, and it gave the villains tools to use in the attack on Vale. Similarly, his plan to abandon Mantle and run away with the Relics will cause more division, so he may very well be playing into Salem's hands. - "Do you honestly think your children can win a war?" He was already in the war mindset even in Volume 2, thinking only of how to operate in wartime. - When Ruby told them the White Fang were gathering in the southeast, Ironwood wanted to immediately send troops to take them out, while Ozpin wanted to scout it out first just in case there was a trap. This scene also displayed the difference in how Ironwood and Ozpin handle things. - Ironwood outright told Glynda he was having trouble _trusting_ Ozpin and he felt like he was being kept in the dark about something, which unnerved him. I'm confident enough to say this small scene that they felt the need to include is blatant foreshadowing of Volume 7. - At the end of Volume 2, the Vale Council tells Ozpin that they spoke with the Atlas Council and that it was decided that Ironwood would be placed in charge of security for the duration of the festival. This is all fine and good, until we later learn that Ironwood holds two seats on the Atlas Council and that the other council members had a habit of just going with what Ironwood said, up until Volume 7. This means that Ironwood himself was likely the one who decided he'd be in charge of security. If so, then even back then, if he didn't get his way or he felt like someone wasn't doing a good job leading, he forcibly took control.
I. Know. Right. Even if RWBY is a future-fantasy, the way characters are set up gives it a realistic vibe. Everybody makes a mistake *somewhere* in the show and the characters' mindset is brilliantly set up.
@@RandomGirl119 I respectfully disagree. But instead of writing a novel on a UA-cam comment, I'm just going to recommend watching Eruptionfangs video on Ironwood. I will say that most of the things Ironwood did and said were in the right. The only reason why Ironwoods plans didn't work out was because A LOT of conveniences for both the villains and Team Rwby. Realistically, everything Ironwood has done, was correct.
@@brianmercy2320 I'm sure lots of us have different interpretation of Ironwood's actions. For some, it might be right and for others it might not. As for me, I'm gonna need to rewatch the whole series since I didn't understand all at once😩
And it makes sense that his virus could hack Ironwood's robots, considering that Sleet said Watts "died" in the "Paladin incident." This would imply that Watts had connection to the development of the Paladin mechs. During Volume 3, we were all sitting here wondering how you hack a _mech,_ something that is supposed to be piloted by a person. It's simple, if you're one of the people who built it.
RWBY has a TON of flaws, but hopefully something like this proves to some that there is a fascinating cohesive narrative they are trying to tell, and that despite their limits making this show, the writers understand storytelling well enough to tell it if you can forgive those flaws. I don’t need them to pick up watching it again, but it’d be nice f they’d respect how much effort does in fact go into making RWBY.
I always enjoyed this aspect. Its why 1 - 3 are my favorite seasons. They were the only well hidden foreshadowing in the show. P.s. Season 1 episode 5 Grimm forest. Goal get a relic to a temple. Avoid grimm. Someone asks if the relics have powers(i think).
Here's another one. From Volume 1, The Emerald Forest. Yang: You two wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood? Ursa: *Growl* Yang: You could just say 'No'. You all know how the rest goes...
The interaction between Adam and Hazel is the reason why Hazel is one of my favourite villains aside from Tyrian. Speaking of Tyrian, after seeing this, am I the only one worried when he said “Eye for an eye”?
I honestly love it when writers do this. I'm a bit of a writing a fanatic and Foreshadowing is my favorite literary device of them all. The fact of predicting something important in the future through something minimal in the present is sooo cool. When I saw RWBY playing that Bord game I had no idea it would foreshadow, or at least coincidentally be similar to the fall of beacon.
Who says this show is poorly planned out? I'll admit, sometimes the exact details and execution can be a bit shaky, but this is pretty definitive proof that a lot of the story is planned out well in advance.
That's because Monty Oum had the outline for the entire series plot points done before he died. (R.I.P.) However, he only had the writing done for Vol 3. Which is why the writing is so bad since then. Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross know where they're going and how to get there, but without Monty, they're stumbling all the way.
Parts of one of pyrrha's speeches are called back in the full version of the V6 opening song. "We are paragons of virtue and glory, death can't bind our endless story. Infinite and unbound" (v6 into) "Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death" (Pyrrha unlocking Jaune's aura)
When you showed Ironwood asking if Oz's children can win a war, I really thought you were gonna cut to RWBY kicking the Ace Ops' asses with "War" playing in the background.
i love the fact that for me season 1 came out in 1st grade, then the 2nd season in 2nd grade, and so on, and now we're on the 8th season and i'm in 8th grade. time really flies yes i watched rwby at age 6
I love that when you do the “do you honestly believe your children can win a war” throw back I’m like “Oh hey. That’s Flynn’s vid.” I always love seeing creators sharing/supporting each other’s work.
Well yeah. He mainly focused on the broad story beats and animation. The writing staff handled the specifics and foreshadowing, with the main notable exception being Blake's cat ears. Monty was very clear about wanting that and hinting at it
@@noblesseoblige319 but he did still provide the overall outline for ten volumes ahead of his death, which as far as i can tell, they're following pretty well
That “callback” with the General without a heart is a bit of a stretch to call a “callback”. Especially since comparatively he was a lot more caring before the Fall of Beacon, and only recently is he becoming this careless.
@@zilentis1835 He's based on him, it's not an exact remake of the character, what are you on about? I'm pretty sure Red Hiding Hood didn't carry around a large mechanical scythe either.
I saw this thing that basically said Blake might die because in the vol.3 op Pyrrah was the first one to fall and then in the vol.8 op Blake was falling into the void a different direction than everyone else... I DONT WANT BLACK YO DIE😭
There's also the book that Blake was reading back in volume one. Yang compliments her bow and asks what book she's reading, and Blake replies that it is about a man with two souls, foreshadowing Ozpin's reincarnation into Oscar.
I don't think ironwood is human anymore bc of the amount of metal he has on his body. It's almost like he's not getting enough blood to his brain to even think abt another way around these BIG problems . It's honestly breathtaking and soul crushing
Wow that's a lot of foreshadowing... I think we need to rewatch the entire show for future possible outcomes of future Volumes. At 4:29, I still find that scene very cold to this day. Wow Ruby. Just... Just wow. Laughing at one of the notable symbols of Pyrrha after she passed away. 7:14 And that little "Yu-Gi-Oh" part, wow that is my favorite foreshadowing. It later came to life like the actual anime lol
how is the bunny a symbol of Pyrrha? Juane was wearing the bunny pullover when he met Pyrrha and did not know who she was. Sure she was on the box in place of the bunny, that does not make her the bunny.
To be fair to Ruby, that was a throwaway moment between Jaune and Pyrrha. Weiss was there too, but it's understandable that she would never have thought to mention it to Ruby.
there's actually a fun side theory... if you watch closely in season 8 you will see Salem spinning four dark ghostly girls in her hands before she talks to Oscar/Ozpin. Also, the four maidens match with one of the 4 seasons, which match the colors of their daughters. And Salem has chosen Cinder, who could be in a way her daughter, to be the vessel of all four. Salem misses her daughters, and wishes her daughters by her side. I believe the four maidens were created with some sort of life essence to bring the daughters back to life in memory by putting their Magical Auras (hence why maidens have magic) into four chosen vessels. Salem may try to destroy the world, but I think she wants all of her family to die and move to the afterlife together, and she will do anything to get what she wants.
To create a show you have to create an entire outline and some parts of scenes in sketchs so Monty pretty much planned out this entire show. Also a lot of work goes into these shows and I get it RWBY has flaws but every show has flaws and if people keep saying that seasons 1-3 were better because Monty created them (yes I have heard that) Monty probably created an entire outline for this show. No disrespect to Monty I love him and his work. But this probably is likely that Monty planned all these scenes in every season. No disrespect at all everyone has their own opinions.
@@Atlessa Sorry if it sounded unclear and I don't want to sound rude I totally understand that and I know this is not Monty's doing I just think that some people can get really toxic over a shows flaws
Yeah like what was said earlier, monty left a pretth rough outline of where he wanted thr show to go, and even then when he was working on it it was changing constantly. Most of the call backs are the folks working on the show now
That's partly true. He came up with the grand idea for the world and characters, but he worked with Miles and Kerry to write the story from the very beginning. It's important to give them credit too.
So much fantastic foreshadowing in this series!! Well done finding most of what you can find, and we may expect more foreshadowing yet to come in future!
I love how Ruby's Silver Eyes are just the Checkov's Gun cliche. Gets mentioned once in Volume 1, and never gets mentioned ever again until the very end of Volume 3, and after that only really happens 3 more times throughout Volume 4 to 6.
I'm fairly well up with these, but that board game one was completely new to me and it's just awesome. Also I feel there's plenty more bad luck events and song references. But awesome video!
Really love when foreshadowing is well executed, or just when things come back up in conversation. Kind of wishing you would’ve waited until the volume ended because who knows what’s in store for us? Especially considering how early things have already happened. But maybe you can make a revised version around March or so
@@ImStrange_ Nice job! I enjoyed this clip, like all of your posts. Well, we are 3 Chapters into Volume 8, and I'm afraid that me personal predictions are falling into place...and I wish they weren't! O_o Good thing I bought tissues before this last run on the stores!
@@iatemycat5320 Realistically stupid. It makes sense for both RWBY and Ironwood to be paranoid considering remnant's circumstances and seeing Salem's true power.
5:10 Is a reference to a old episode wing ironwood said to crawl that if he was one of his men he was shoot him (I wish I can remember the episode but I don't I think it may be in v2 I just know the clip exists)

- When Ruby told them the White Fang were gathering in the southeast, Ironwood wanted to immediately send troops to take them out, while Ozpin wanted to scout it out first just in case there was a trap. This scene also displayed the difference in how Ironwood and Ozpin handle things.
- Ironwood outright told Glynda he was having trouble _trusting_ Ozpin and he felt like he was being kept in the dark about something, which unnerved him. I'm confident enough to say this small scene that they felt the need to include is blatant foreshadowing of Volume 7.
- At the end of Volume 2, the Vale Council tells Ozpin that they spoke with the Atlas Council and that it was decided that Ironwood would be placed in charge of security for the duration of the festival. This is all fine and good, until we later learn that Ironwood holds two seats on the Atlas Council and that the other council members had a habit of just going with what Ironwood said, up until Volume 7. This means that Ironwood himself was likely the one who decided he'd be in charge of security. If so, then even back then, if he didn't get his way or he felt like someone wasn't doing a good job leading, he forcibly took control.
@@RandomGirl119 holy shit....
I. Know. Right.
Even if RWBY is a future-fantasy, the way characters are set up gives it a realistic vibe. Everybody makes a mistake *somewhere* in the show and the characters' mindset is brilliantly set up.
@@RandomGirl119 I respectfully disagree. But instead of writing a novel on a UA-cam comment, I'm just going to recommend watching Eruptionfangs video on Ironwood. I will say that most of the things Ironwood did and said were in the right. The only reason why Ironwoods plans didn't work out was because A LOT of conveniences for both the villains and Team Rwby. Realistically, everything Ironwood has done, was correct.
@@brianmercy2320 I'm sure lots of us have different interpretation of Ironwood's actions. For some, it might be right and for others it might not. As for me, I'm gonna need to rewatch the whole series since I didn't understand all at once😩
During the dance when Pyrrha said “I’ve made friends that will last a lifetime”... my heart broke rewatching that scene
Every thing returns back full circle.
Some how I never connected the dots on the mining facility explosions until now! Blake's reaction makes so much sense now!
I never realized Watts was the one who hacked on beacon, until this video shows it up.
Thanks
And it makes sense that his virus could hack Ironwood's robots, considering that Sleet said Watts "died" in the "Paladin incident." This would imply that Watts had connection to the development of the Paladin mechs. During Volume 3, we were all sitting here wondering how you hack a _mech,_ something that is supposed to be piloted by a person. It's simple, if you're one of the people who built it.
Jesus Christ everything comes full circle in this show doesn’t it?
Welp I now know that through the board game logic, yangs the one who killed Roman.
Oh shit what have I done
This aged like fine wine.
RWBY has a TON of flaws, but hopefully something like this proves to some that there is a fascinating cohesive narrative they are trying to tell, and that despite their limits making this show, the writers understand storytelling well enough to tell it if you can forgive those flaws. I don’t need them to pick up watching it again, but it’d be nice f they’d respect how much effort does in fact go into making RWBY.
Not ton of flaws lol

I always enjoyed this aspect. Its why 1 - 3 are my favorite seasons. They were the only well hidden foreshadowing in the show.
P.s.

Here's another one. From Volume 1, The Emerald Forest.
Yang: You two wouldn't happen to have seen a girl in a red hood?
Ursa: *Growl*
Yang: You could just say 'No'.
You all know how the rest goes...
You mean... the Hound grim that can talk?
BRRRRRUUUUUHHHHH
HA.
I got it,LOL XDDD
4:54
Or it could be a scene when Ironwood told Qrow that if he was one of his men, he would have him shot.
Oh no-
Silverfang 538 “If I was one of your men I’d shoot myself: 5:07
The interaction between Adam and Hazel is the reason why Hazel is one of my favourite villains aside from Tyrian.
Speaking of Tyrian, after seeing this, am I the only one worried when he said “Eye for an eye”?
The moment I first watched the scene I was like, yep that's to be taken literally...
I ain’t gonna lie... Jaune wearing a Pumpkin Pete hoodie kinda gives me the feels.

I honestly love it when writers do this. I'm a bit of a writing a fanatic and Foreshadowing is my favorite literary device of them all. The fact of predicting something important in the future through something minimal in the present is sooo cool.
When I saw RWBY playing that Bord game I had no idea it would foreshadow, or at least coincidentally be similar to the fall of beacon.
Who says this show is poorly planned out? I'll admit, sometimes the exact details and execution can be a bit shaky, but this is pretty definitive proof that a lot of the story is planned out well in advance.
That's because Monty Oum had the outline for the entire series plot points done before he died. (R.I.P.) However, he only had the writing done for Vol 3. Which is why the writing is so bad since then. Miles Luna and Kerry Shawcross know where they're going and how to get there, but without Monty, they're stumbling all the way.
Parts of one of pyrrha's speeches are called back in the full version of the V6 opening song.
"We are paragons of virtue and glory, death can't bind our endless story. Infinite and unbound" (v6 into)
"Through this, we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all. Infinite in distance and unbound by death" (Pyrrha unlocking Jaune's aura)
Has no one noticed that the castle that Salem was "trapped" in bears a striking resemblance to Beacon?
When you showed Ironwood asking if Oz's children can win a war, I really thought you were gonna cut to RWBY kicking the Ace Ops' asses with "War" playing in the background.
Remember when they called Jaune "lady killer"? well i think it counts as foreshadowing too. i hate myself for writing this
Big oof
i love the fact that for me season 1 came out in 1st grade, then the 2nd season in 2nd grade, and so on, and now we're on the 8th season and i'm in 8th grade. time really flies
yes i watched rwby at age 6
Unrelated but the quote before the yellow trailer include lyrics from the song Ignite. I really like that
And Barbara said that Monty told her the quote before the Yellow Trailer was intended to be foreshadowing for Yang losing her arm.
@@RandomGirl119 knew it
@@RandomGirl119 so yang was always going to lose her arm Huh??
I love that when you do the “do you honestly believe your children can win a war” throw back I’m like “Oh hey. That’s Flynn’s vid.” I always love seeing creators sharing/supporting each other’s work.
I'm quaking in my boots that a board game predicted how the rest of the series will go
"Yes, Its all coming together now"
And people STILL believe that what we have seen and currently seeing was not Monty's plan. Seriously?
Well yeah. He mainly focused on the broad story beats and animation. The writing staff handled the specifics and foreshadowing, with the main notable exception being Blake's cat ears. Monty was very clear about wanting that and hinting at it
@@noblesseoblige319 but he did still provide the overall outline for ten volumes ahead of his death, which as far as i can tell, they're following pretty well
The only problem is the execution, its hit or miss at times
The hound grimm reignited my interest.
Its already plan but the build up look rushing
We love some good solid foreshadowing and continuity :D
omg i never thought about the penny one. 2:33
That “callback” with the General without a heart is a bit of a stretch to call a “callback”. Especially since comparatively he was a lot more caring before the Fall of Beacon, and only recently is he becoming this careless.
It's foreshadowing, because he's based off the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz, who's looking for a heart
@@ImStrange_ and the Tin Man guns down public officials?
@@zilentis1835 He's based on him, it's not an exact remake of the character, what are you on about? I'm pretty sure Red Hiding Hood didn't carry around a large mechanical scythe either.
@@zilentis1835 or Goldilock beating up bears...
@@ImStrange_ apologies I didn’t mean to think so literally, so what specifically about that scene is analogous of the Tin Man?
I saw this thing that basically said Blake might die because in the vol.3 op Pyrrah was the first one to fall and then in the vol.8 op Blake was falling into the void a different direction than everyone else... I DONT WANT BLACK YO DIE😭
Yang is the lowest and farthest away
nor do I
not very concerned about any of the title characters dying tbh. they wouldn't kill the B in RWBY like they wouldn't kill the W or the Y
I don’t think Blake died
Oh my God I thought I was the only one who noticed but yang was the lowest
There's also the book that Blake was reading back in volume one. Yang compliments her bow and asks what book she's reading, and Blake replies that it is about a man with two souls, foreshadowing Ozpin's reincarnation into Oscar.
Rwby is a great series
Penny: One day, it will be my job to save the world-
CRWBY: *HAHA NOPE-*
Don't forget that Yang tells the grimm in the forest during initiation that they could've just said no.
The part with Penny saying she'd save the world is blowing me away for some reason. I love it.
I don't think ironwood is human anymore bc of the amount of metal he has on his body. It's almost like he's not getting enough blood to his brain to even think abt another way around these BIG problems . It's honestly breathtaking and soul crushing
If you replace a ship with all new metal is it the same ship or in ironwoods case mettle
Can’t wait for the “Ironwood shooting innocents” compilation that you’ll surely release once volume 8 concludes.
“The many fuck ups of James Ironwood”
5:59 Jaune's breaking the fourth wall there.
Wow that's a lot of foreshadowing... I think we need to rewatch the entire show for future possible outcomes of future Volumes.
At 4:29, I still find that scene very cold to this day. Wow Ruby. Just... Just wow. Laughing at one of the notable symbols of Pyrrha after she passed away.
7:14 And that little "Yu-Gi-Oh" part, wow that is my favorite foreshadowing. It later came to life like the actual anime lol
how is the bunny a symbol of Pyrrha? Juane was wearing the bunny pullover when he met Pyrrha and did not know who she was. Sure she was on the box in place of the bunny, that does not make her the bunny.
@@jeffreysmith236 I think it's more the fact that it's associated with her for Jaune now that he knows she was on Pumpkin Pete boxes.
To be fair to Ruby, that was a throwaway moment between Jaune and Pyrrha. Weiss was there too, but it's understandable that she would never have thought to mention it to Ruby.
3:01 I hope we get to see all of the Arc sisters
Man, RWBY really went heavy on the foreshadowing but made it barely obvious until the event actually happened.
there's actually a fun side theory... if you watch closely in season 8 you will see Salem spinning four dark ghostly girls in her hands before she talks to Oscar/Ozpin. Also, the four maidens match with one of the 4 seasons, which match the colors of their daughters. And Salem has chosen Cinder, who could be in a way her daughter, to be the vessel of all four. Salem misses her daughters, and wishes her daughters by her side. I believe the four maidens were created with some sort of life essence to bring the daughters back to life in memory by putting their Magical Auras (hence why maidens have magic) into four chosen vessels. Salem may try to destroy the world, but I think she wants all of her family to die and move to the afterlife together, and she will do anything to get what she wants.
Volume 2: It's time to say goodbye to the things we love
Volume 8: We said goodbye to all the things we loved
To add one from Volume 8.
Penny: "It will be just like Beacon Again."
Oooh! Good compilation- hadn't picked up on a lot of these before! Keep up the good work.
rwby is a show for theorists
*matpat has joined the chat*
"Get sent to the Shadow realm."
Yang now:
To create a show you have to create an entire outline and some parts of scenes in sketchs so Monty pretty much planned out this entire show. Also a lot of work goes into these shows and I get it RWBY has flaws but every show has flaws and if people keep saying that seasons 1-3 were better because Monty created them (yes I have heard that) Monty probably created an entire outline for this show. No disrespect to Monty I love him and his work. But this probably is likely that Monty planned all these scenes in every season. No disrespect at all everyone has their own opinions.
The big problem is that Monty left only very sketchy notes about where the story should go, so I'm not sure a lot of this is really Monty's doing.
@@Atlessa Sorry if it sounded unclear and I don't want to sound rude I totally understand that and I know this is not Monty's doing I just think that some people can get really toxic over a shows flaws
Yeah like what was said earlier, monty left a pretth rough outline of where he wanted thr show to go, and even then when he was working on it it was changing constantly. Most of the call backs are the folks working on the show now
@@catmanxyz6581 Yeah, Agreed it's I just don't like when people hate on other people's work
That's partly true. He came up with the grand idea for the world and characters, but he worked with Miles and Kerry to write the story from the very beginning. It's important to give them credit too.
So much fantastic foreshadowing in this series!! Well done finding most of what you can find, and we may expect more foreshadowing yet to come in future!
This was really really good, makes me want to make my own video breaking this down. Fantastic job!!
also in the song hero some of the lyrics are "what if it's true that they say that I don't have a heart that I'm more a machine than a man"
I really need to rewatch the series
Wow wo wowowoowow I didnt expect half of these!! Amazing job
Qrow: Sometimes I’m even sure he has a heart.
Ironwood: So anyway, I started blasting
Can't hear the warcrimes you've committed over the sweet ass sound of your gungun-gun.
At this point I don't thunk anyone of us should be worried about spoilers if we watch this compilation and then go back and watch volumes 1-7 again
I love how Ruby's Silver Eyes are just the Checkov's Gun cliche. Gets mentioned once in Volume 1, and never gets mentioned ever again until the very end of Volume 3, and after that only really happens 3 more times throughout Volume 4 to 6.
And kinda 7 when Salem’s remark shorts them out
It comes up enough times to remain relevant. Besides, it's not like Chekov's Gun is a bad cliche.
@@Compucles I'm not saying it's bad, idiot! I'm just calling it that, okay?
@@mistressofdreams6031 Emotional discharge.
@@thefiresworddragon927 yeah i guess thats true, that still counts though
I'm fairly well up with these, but that board game one was completely new to me and it's just awesome. Also I feel there's plenty more bad luck events and song references. But awesome video!
Really love when foreshadowing is well executed, or just when things come back up in conversation. Kind of wishing you would’ve waited until the volume ended because who knows what’s in store for us? Especially considering how early things have already happened. But maybe you can make a revised version around March or so
I plan on making a second one at some point anyway, there's plenty i didn't cover here.
@@ImStrange_ Nice job! I enjoyed this clip, like all of your posts. Well, we are 3 Chapters into Volume 8, and I'm afraid that me personal predictions are falling into place...and I wish they weren't! O_o Good thing I bought tissues before this last run on the stores!
There's also Ozpin's "You have silver eyes" when he first meets Ruby
WE LOVE SOME CALLBACKS AND FORESHADOWING

@@contentlobby3824 true, they were pretty stupid-
@@iatemycat5320 Realistically stupid. It makes sense for both RWBY and Ironwood to be paranoid considering remnant's circumstances and seeing Salem's true power.
5:10 Is a reference to a old episode wing ironwood said to crawl that if he was one of his men he was shoot him (I wish I can remember the episode but I don't I think it may be in v2 I just know the clip exists)
Watching this video, its pretty cool to see just how planned out the show was from fairly early on. Especially the scene where Pyrrha lists the fairy tails. I've rewatched rwby like 3 times and that flew over my head every time
fun fact: The creators of rwby once told as a joke that jaune's true symbol was under his armor
So basically Jaune’s true symbol is linked with Pyrrha?
