Anybody watching this video now, unfortunately Rooster Teeth is shutting down... RT have announced that "our last season of "Red vs Blue" coincides with us navigating this closure together". You can find more information in regards to everything involving this news on their website and twitter account.
I love how the lyrics match the character development so well. "Red like roses" doesn't bring her to the place her mother rests anymore, she stopped trying to be the huntress her mother was
@@dragonpaulz_Ruby idolized her mom and pretty much followed in her footsteps as she grew up the fairytales her mom read to her as well as how strong Summer was. Seeing that her mother wasn't perfect made Ruby realize that she doesn't have to hold herself to the standards that stressed herself out, including Pyrrha and Penny's death.
@@93SuperSonic ruby wanted to be a huntress because of the stories she was told, not specifically because of summer as a mother. And summer not telling the truth to her family to keep them safe and protected from danger is such a broad and vague reasoning to hinge Ruby's transformation on. We have gotten so little from ruby and the show in general of her relationship with both of her parents that it just comes across as incredibly shallow and unsupported. The show has really fumbled Ruby's relationships with everyone in her family not named qrow
I'll be honest I miss Rubys scythe being bolt action. it had a bit more character needing with the *cha-chunk* every time she cycled it during the spins.
Love that sweet little outro riff "this will be the day we waited for this will be the day we open up the door" just a bit of instrumentals but it's such a sweet thing
1:03 I love that they brought back my favorite move of her from the RED trailer. Were she slides down the weapon to dodge und fires to get distance and instantly rushes back to the enemy with her semblence. This move has just so mutch style.
Yeah I'm not sure what to call this genre. To me it reminds me of Starcraft, so it to me it's like contemporary space alt rock or something. I really like what Martin Gonzales brought to the table for Casey. It felt really good.
Nice to see ruby actually using her semblance offensively again. Her style feels more refined and sharper now, she’s more focused not being consumed by doubt.
"Step inside a magical tree and have therapy with a female Automata that forges" It is literally the WORST remedy against depression that could be invented in fiction. And any metaphor will not help to make sense of it.
Look, I had depression and it took me a LOT of time to get out of it and even now I'm resolving conflict, and the fact that these "scriptwriters" have not been burned by this literal KICK IN THE CROTCH to all the psychological recovery processes is HORRIDOUS.
@@Hilario-von-Fledermausburg1973 As somebody who also struggles with depression. And has at least had consistent thoughts of unaliving. I actually like what The Tree/The Blacksmith had to say. They talked Rubes through her problem and was ready to accept whatever decision that she made, while pointing towards the correct option. That Ruby, just as who she is, is enough.
The Blacksmith could be an interpretation of the documented regret that those who attempt suicide, but thankfully survive, often experience once the attempt is in motion.
The way she came back and swung her scythe instantly with overwhelming confidence was great. Seemed like she was a bit angry but she didn't let it blind her and was just overpowering cheshire with her relentless assault/speed. 10/10
@@crazeguy26 Especially when he grabbed her scythe thinking "gotcha now" but she just vanishes. She really was cold this fight and it was worth the buildup.
@@Indignation211 not necessarily, Raven just needs to have a strong bond with a person in order to open a portal to them. We see that most clearly in Volume 5 when she opens one to Vernal to let the bad guy reinforcements through. So there could be some other person besides Qrow that was involved with Summer's last misson
Can you imagine if Ruby had come back in her Vol 1 outfit? 'A simple soul....' EDIT: have seen comments on here about how we had to see how she was accepting herself and yeah that's a beautiful message so perhaps instead she keeps her hairstyle and stays 'herself' but decides to grab her old Vol 1 outfit...?
That would have been really cool and thematic and then she could have been turned back like jaune was after, but missed opportunities basically defines rwby at this point.
@DRONE 99 I see what you mean with the callback but I think it's better to save that for the final volume Like I'm still praying the end of series ends with the beginning of the Red Trailer
@@drone9948 not necessarily, if they turned her back to her V1 self and turned her back not even ten min. later then there would literally be no point in doing that.
It'd of been a fun callback but we all know their getting new outfits an episode or two into V10 anyway lol. The Atlas style winter wear isn't gonna cut it in Vauco.
@@thewalrus45 well yeah that's not exactly a mark against Ruby showing up in her Vol 1 outfit; she could keep it for a few episodes and then they get their Vol 10 outfits.
I have a feeling that the message Ruby sent in Volume 8 was received, and knowing that Atlas was collapsing and that Vacuo was the final Kingdom left that hadn’t been targeted yet, a lot of Remnant may have actually banded together to fight against Salem.
@Johnny Fazbear Animates I'm pretty sure there was at least 1 mention of it being intended to go to 12, but first of all, don't quote me on that, & second of all, we're still not certain that Volume 10 will happen until we get news of it being greenlit. (Here's hoping RTX will be able to deliver that important good news)
Because crushing humanity isn't her goal, her goal is to divide them beyond repair then summon the gods with the relics so they destroy everything, including her.
When red like roses started playing, I got goosebumps and I got a little teary-eyed while Ruby was in the tree, and she realized that she has always been more than enough! It also took me a while to realize but that final shot seeing vacuo, all the ships are from different kingdoms, and the big one is definitely in the arena that got turned into the communications tower. As the blacksmith said they went someplace when they are needed most, so some time has passed, but also proves that Rubys message worked in the end! I love that I cannot wait for volume 10 such a good volume!!
Just over joy in Weiss’s voice when she sees Ruby just shows how close they’ve all become. That family they formed and once Ruby came back, it was completed once more.
I smiled but nearly cried when Ruby broke out and she was back to being the Ruby we knew personality wise, it was like having a friend you thought you would never see again. Also: RED LIKE ROSES PART III!!!!
The ending really makes it feel as we're now at the final stages of RWBY. Ruby and Jaune are in their fighting prime, we learned about the God's origin and we're in the last Kingdom. Something tells me the show will end by Volume 11 or 12.
I'm imagining RWBY and Jaune trying to explain where they've been, "oh you know, wound up in a children's fairy tale, Jaune got mature and hot for a while, Blake and Yang have finally got together, oh and we met god. Not the two gods we're scared will come back but their mother, a weird but friendly robot blacksmith tree thing."
i'm beginning to feel like a theme of the brothers is that they create things and expect blind loyalty and don't take the time to understand their creations, kinda like giving birth to a child and not raising it right and abandoning it when you get annoyed until the child becomes a monster due to your bad parenting.
"Nonconsensual game of pinball" are the words that came to my mind - but I guess that's just as funny to me considering how much the Blue Blur meant to me growing up. XD
That combo move finisher that team RWBY did at 1:36 is the coolest thing I've ever seen from an animated work. And then the shot at 1:40 right before they strike in unison?!?!?! THIS SHOW IS SO SLAY!!!!!
I just realized, did Ruby finally figure out how to use the fact her semblance should basically make her and anything she’s carrying intangible any time she uses it? When the Cat grabbed Crescent Rose it didn’t look like she moved her scythe out of his hands, it was just in his one second then it was gone, his hand actually looked like it closed a bit, like he was applying pressure on something that gave way.
I’m going to say it even if I get hate for it. The sequence when ruby is falling and when she starts battling the curious cat is the best scene in the entire show. Also this version of red like roses is actually amazing and fits so perfectly. I loved this season and I hope this show can continue.
Red Like Roses part 3 is so symbolic here, I love it. You hear something familiar, because Ruby came back as herself, and it switches to something completely new, because she changed inside. It's so perfect.
0:30 that look when Ruby grabs Cresent Rose, like she is saying "im sorry i lost my way, i thought i had to be someone special, but who i needed to be, was myself"
The fleet at the end has ships from all the Kingdoms, seems there's been a decent timeskip at least a few months maybe a year. Also they turned the Vytas arena into a freaking battlecruiser.
I have to admit. I think Ruby's a true warrior in that fight out of every fight she's been in. Bursting out with most likely her silver eyes and amazingly focused on her fighting. I don't ever remember her fighting that amazing on any other volumes.
@@brandon0118 wdym? Did roosterteeth officially announce that they would be discontinuing the series? Yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen. I’m pretty sure development is in for the long run, and if you have any proof to share, then be my guest.
I like how the lesson was she didnt need to change and that she could love herself. I wonder how many more people would be here had they been told that.
My only complaint is that it also implies she learned nothing from her time here and will just keep making the same mistake of trying to save everyone all the time, which will end up making things worse sooner or later…..
But the issues wasn’t that she didn’t love herself, is that that she screwed up so much she was no longer sure that what she did actually made things better, or only worse. Deciding to NOT change after having taking several L in a row… that’s a weird message to send, don’t you think?
@@madmask7987 looking back, I think the lesson Ruby Learned is that since even her mother wasn’t the hero she envisioned, she had to stop trying to be that hero she envisioned and just be herself for real. We’ll have to wait till volume 10 to see….
@@christheforsaken4287 i mean, I get that, but why do we have to wait until the next season, which we don’t know when or even IF it’s gonna air, to see the resolution instead of now when it’s relevant?
They used a really good trick here that Bungie's old music team used to use in their compositions. I can't remember what Marty O'Donnell called it, but it's the idea of using musical arrangents and melodies familiar to the listener in new peices to act as a callback to previous work and to drive a greater emotional reaction to the music. They did it especially well with the start of Red Like Roses Part III and the end of the season there with the main melody from This Will Be The Day
funny how they made a call back to red like roses, this will be the day and have ruby look at the screen aka the viewers and say "thank you" and have the blacksmith say "not where, but _when_ you are needed most"
Gotta say, Red like Roses for the "rebirth" and the slow reprise of "This will be the day". Mwaah! Perfecto! Now lets not have to wait so long for season 10? Please?
I only watched RWBY for the first time ever this summer.... Hearing "Red Like Roses" in this scene had me crying (partly because I was aware that this might be the last of this unfinished story)... I really hope they complete the story with VIZ Media rather than rebooting it.
0:53 Besides the cat pun. This was an amazing fight to watch and Red Like Roses Part 3 was chef’s kiss. I can not wait for the Volume 9 soundtrack and volume 10.
@@nou8830 Well volume 10 is being written and the soundtrack for Volume 9 will come out when Casey Lee Williams and Martin Gonzalez fully finish the songs. So it’s the waiting game until it completed.
@@nou8830 The soundtrack for volume 9 was amazing but the full songs won’t come out for a couple of months so there’s always listening to the short versions
sometimes art isn’t about making money, sometimes it’s about expressing something. Even if you don’t enjoy it, that doesn’t mean others won’t, this creation that they’ve all put time and dedication into together. Will be in the confines of never ending cyberspace until humanity ceases to be. Even though their own bodies are flesh and bone the souls they put into their creation, will outlive them long after they’re gone.
My favorite fight scene in all of RWBY. In my opinion if this is the End, it was done extremely well. Volume 9 was my favorite and The Cat Most Curious is my favorite character of the series.
I still dont like how Rwby constantly builds up interesting problems for their characters only to solve them in an instant. First it was Yangs PTSD, than Jaunes self worth problems and lastly Rubys personality crisis. We spent most of the volume building up the last two only to have Jaunes problem be solved in an instant with the Stone thingies arriving and him going "Welp guess I didnt just witness the people I tried to protect for the last decade die" and same with Ruby who was struggeling with her role as leader until she finally snapped, with her problem vanishing because her dead mother once said she doesnt care what Ruby is or does. Bet RWBY would also fix depression by saying "dont be sad".
This volume is so unbelievably good the animation, the writing, the voice acting. They really showed the shows detractors whats up, they really lets those wh*res have it.
Pretty interesting how some of the Atlas fleet is still around I thought it'd have all been destroyed I also noticed Amity is back so Pietro and Maria aren't just like chilling in the stratosphere like we thought they would be
For the atlas fleet id bet there were some who fled the battle and/or had ignored the initial summons either because their task was too important or they simply didnt receive the communication. Amnity is a suprise
I feel that they should have doubled down on Ruby being back to full power by having her arrive just as the others auras broke, she then solos the cat, giving us a clear look at how powerful she really is now. Don't get me wrong I like the team combo as well, but I think having her return then save the day single-handedly would have been a better look at her capabilities.
@@LordBryan2013 the series sure but ruby really needs to have a strong one Vs one fight at some point now in the later volumes, this was the perfect time to do it to show that she's grown herself as a fighter in her own right.
She's not really had a good solo fight since vol 3 so having her save the day would show that she's miles ahead of the girl she was at beacon. It would also reaffirm her as someone who can save people and could have been used as a confidence boost that she deserves. The whole volume has been trying to tare her down as someone who always loses and isn't good enough this would be the proof that she can be.
So this is a theory that I saw on crunchyroll, I think Alex is the Smith, because she wanted to stay behind to fix what she broke, so she helps remake thinks that need to be fixed and its why she had the dagger and fixed Jaun back to what he was before the rusted knight Also having the trailer music from Red, made me cry...
@@FelixFlvnders if you think about it as the series she has gotten a little weaker over time because of the pressure to be the hero she experienced to this point, after her time in the tree she doesn’t want to be the hero just true to herself.
@@tylerloesch1660 Thing is Ruby is just naturally a prodigy and she was introduced as such, so when you're just naturally good, well rested and newly determined, it shouldn't be suprising she went off like that.
@@hadrianhexe9603 I know she’s a prodigy I’ve followed RWBY since it premiered. But that doesn’t exclude all that she has been through all these years, all the death losing of friends and feeling like she’s failed to live up to peoples expectations of her. Ruby lost herself in that. It’s thanks to the tree that she now knows she doesn’t need to be the hero she just has to be herself.
It does considering the cat has seen the others fight, especially jaune but has never seen Ruby fight. That’s why she pushed him so hard but he caught on and caught her weapon. Idk if she would have won herself cuz they ended up teamworking anyways
I love the relationship Ruby and Weiss have, happy to see Ruby like besties reunited, they rlly are besties and i love how that relationship grew as they got older. Not to mention how they kinda hated each other the first Volume lol😅😅😅
Something I noticed with this scene. Love that it replays the theme for 'Red like Roses' but the lyrics for the start are different. It started with "Red like roses fills my dreams, and brings me to the place you rest" Now its just "Red like roses fills my dreams", omitting the part about what her mother's death made her feel. Not out of spite or disrespect, but because Ruby has now moved on, accepted herself as Ruby and no longer following the shadow of her mother. Now the song can truly be about Ruby. That's who she is now.
great obersavtion. loved that instrumental version of this will be the day ... "we're waiting for" as they come to vacou's aid, a lesson learned, stronger in mind and probably body. having made up their resolve ready to go all out towards salem or the last relic.
Not sure if anyone else caught it, but they did something extremely clever. Her opening combo is nearly identical to the one she used waaaaay back in the red trailer, just a bit sped up and refined.
And then Ruby and her team never discuss to everyone what happened to them and their adventure they went through because they easily forget everything. Remember Sun and Neptune? (“Who?” Everyone will ask.)
This volume felt soooo short. I liked how we know a bit more about the gods. And I'm impressed that... esentially... they were created by the blacksmith so she is like a overlord over them, like a superior godess, and now we don't know where she came from. The new lore of they coming from the ever after tells us a little foreshadow of the show ending, I imagine they will return to their home back again, after whatever needs to happen happens. Edit: And btw she seems to be kinda overseer since she knew about the past of suhmmer rose even if she wasn't there at all, just by looking at the weapon.
"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. And then the victory is yours. It can not be taken from you. Not by angels or demons. Heaven or Hell." -Buddha
I hope its 2 years bc volume 9 was so perfect bc they took on their own pasting to make volume 9 very good which im very impressed bc they're action animation really improved from volume 7 and 8. As long as they take their time and continue to make good Is choreography im so down to wait.

I think this is a metaphor for the rebirth not of Ruby herself, but of the series as a whole
The fleet at the end has ships from all the Kingdoms, seems there's been a decent timeskip at least a few months maybe a year.
Also they turned the Vytas arena into a freaking battlecruiser.
Are you sure? I see Vale and atlesian airships, but I don't see any from mistral, and idk if vacuo has much in the way of ships
Amity Arena, not Vytas
@@blyarin5825the ships with sails are mistrals
I have to admit. I think Ruby's a true warrior in that fight out of every fight she's been in. Bursting out with most likely her silver eyes and amazingly focused on her fighting. I don't ever remember her fighting that amazing on any other volumes.
At long last… Ruby and RWBY are officially back and better than ever, baby!
and now we wait for volume 10 lol
There will be no volume 10 sadly this is the last volume

Did roosterteeth officially announce that they would be discontinuing the series?
Yeah, I don’t think that’s gonna happen.
I’m pretty sure development is in for the long run, and if you have any proof to share, then be my guest.
@@romanhorizon RWBY needs to stop. It's not making any money and it's not good. The only thing keeping it relevant is it's toxic fandom
Her movements reflects the moveset of crosstag battle, wich also reflects the moves seen in the red trailer of rwby
I like how the lesson was she didnt need to change and that she could love herself.
I wonder how many more people would be here had they been told that.
My only complaint is that it also implies she learned nothing from her time here and will just keep making the same mistake of trying to save everyone all the time, which will end up making things worse sooner or later…..
But the issues wasn’t that she didn’t love herself, is that that she screwed up so much she was no longer sure that what she did actually made things better, or only worse.
Deciding to NOT change after having taking several L in a row… that’s a weird message to send, don’t you think?
@@madmask7987 looking back, I think the lesson Ruby Learned is that since even her mother wasn’t the hero she envisioned, she had to stop trying to be that hero she envisioned and just be herself for real. We’ll have to wait till volume 10 to see….
@@christheforsaken4287 i mean, I get that, but why do we have to wait until the next season, which we don’t know when or even IF it’s gonna air, to see the resolution instead of now when it’s relevant?
They used a really good trick here that Bungie's old music team used to use in their compositions. I can't remember what Marty O'Donnell called it, but it's the idea of using musical arrangents and melodies familiar to the listener in new peices to act as a callback to previous work and to drive a greater emotional reaction to the music. They did it especially well with the start of Red Like Roses Part III and the end of the season there with the main melody from This Will Be The Day
funny how they made a call back to red like roses, this will be the day
and have ruby look at the screen aka the viewers and say "thank you"
and have the blacksmith say "not where, but _when_ you are needed most"
Gotta say, Red like Roses for the "rebirth" and the slow reprise of "This will be the day". Mwaah! Perfecto!
Now lets not have to wait so long for season 10? Please?
Don't rush them we don't want another volume 4 &5
@@TrivatorGaming rush no, but the studio ground to a halt due to the 202x plague. Let's hope no more of that and a regular production cycle
Volume 10 Will probally be after Two years 💀💀💀💀
I'm crying honestly
Ruby, baby, you've come so far in this volume, i am so proud of her
(Also
can't wait for the full soundtrack)
It took them a season of trauma to finally have hyper fight scene
after seeing this, it does start to make sense why her fighting style slowed down. she wasnt herself.
Team RWBY really went full Persona/Xenoblade with that Chain Attack to All Out Attack combo.
I need to see Ruby solo a monster grim with her new understanding of her semblance. Also red like roses sound design gave me chills
Jaune got his body back
Yeah... how though.
@@WarGrowlmon18 Not hard to figure out if you watch the episode
@@Sungura_Kaiser Sadly, I don't have the usual site thing, the one I use hasn't had it updated yet and I can't find a clip showing it on here.
He has white highlights on his hair now, though.
Technically Jaune never lost his body he just got older
1:13 it nice to see ruby smiling again
Me getting chills when her theme kicks in 😭
I only watched RWBY for the first time ever this summer.... Hearing "Red Like Roses" in this scene had me crying (partly because I was aware that this might be the last of this unfinished story)... I really hope they complete the story with VIZ Media rather than rebooting it.
0:53 Besides the cat pun.
This was an amazing fight to watch and Red Like Roses Part 3 was chef’s kiss. I can not wait for the Volume 9 soundtrack and volume 10.
Any news when that's gonna happen?
@@nou8830 Well volume 10 is being written and the soundtrack for Volume 9 will come out when Casey Lee Williams and Martin Gonzalez fully finish the songs. So it’s the waiting game until it completed.
@@Gourdet ah, ok. I was more talking about the soundtrack so thanks
@@nou8830 The soundtrack for volume 9 was amazing but the full songs won’t come out for a couple of months so there’s always listening to the short versions

imagine neo becoming an aid instead of a threath as she progresses on.
@@AmonAboooat hopefully Neo might come back for that rematch against Cinder
this is THE BEST 2 minutes and a half rwby has given us at the very least since volume 3

Ah, they remembered that Ruby’s semblance is OP! Excellent.
1:00 chills.....the moves, the music, everything....just chills
sometimes art isn’t about making money, sometimes it’s about expressing something. Even if you don’t enjoy it, that doesn’t mean others won’t, this creation that they’ve all put time and dedication into together. Will be in the confines of never ending cyberspace until humanity ceases to be. Even though their own bodies are flesh and bone the souls they put into their creation, will outlive them long after they’re gone.
There, now was that so hard?
Welcome back team RWBY. It’s about damn time
My favorite fight scene in all of RWBY. In my opinion if this is the End, it was done extremely well. Volume 9 was my favorite and The Cat Most Curious is my favorite character of the series.
"What is she doing?"
"She's beginning to believe."
I still dont like how Rwby constantly builds up interesting problems for their characters only to solve them in an instant. First it was Yangs PTSD, than Jaunes self worth problems and lastly Rubys personality crisis. We spent most of the volume building up the last two only to have Jaunes problem be solved in an instant with the Stone thingies arriving and him going "Welp guess I didnt just witness the people I tried to protect for the last decade die" and same with Ruby who was struggeling with her role as leader until she finally snapped, with her problem vanishing because her dead mother once said she doesnt care what Ruby is or does. Bet RWBY would also fix depression by saying "dont be sad".
When she picks her weapon it kinda looks like when raven and penny opened the vaults, even the hesitant reach part
1:34 I am going to be living off of this attack sequence for weeks!
That 4 Color Assault was just amazing!
This was actually pretty good
This series really do make you want to create your own weapon
This volume is so unbelievably good the animation, the writing, the voice acting.
They really showed the shows detractors whats up, they really lets those wh*res have it.
I seriously love how the red like roses kick in
Jaune is going to be so badass now
HER SEMBLANCE EVOLVED!! Ruby can finally teleport like she did in the Red Trailer!! 😍
I got the DVD and watched the vol straight through. Not gonna lie I teared up alot, the Bumblebee kiss was overdue but well executed
Haven't seen Ruby use Crescent Rose like that in so long. I hope she no longer holds back
Monty would be proud
Red like roses, man. They knew what to do to bring her back.
Pretty interesting how some of the Atlas fleet is still around I thought it'd have all been destroyed I also noticed Amity is back so Pietro and Maria aren't just like chilling in the stratosphere like we thought they would be
For the atlas fleet id bet there were some who fled the battle and/or had ignored the initial summons either because their task was too important or they simply didnt receive the communication. Amnity is a suprise
It might be remnants of the Atlas fleets thats now in Winters command i guess.
The portal also might've sent them back in time.
@@arielfetters5662 Exactly, "Not where. When." as the blacksmith says not in this snippet about the portal back to Remnant.
@@arielfetters5662 I think it might actually have sent them forward in time. Sending them back in time doesn't make too much sense narratively IMO.
I’m gonna be honest I needed this message this volume came at the right time
When she parried/blocked (I’m not a melee weapon doctor) I got huge “Yaaaay she’s back!” vibes. Good stuff
I feel that they should have doubled down on Ruby being back to full power by having her arrive just as the others auras broke, she then solos the cat, giving us a clear look at how powerful she really is now. Don't get me wrong I like the team combo as well, but I think having her return then save the day single-handedly would have been a better look at her capabilities.
The entire point of the series is that they're only at "full power" when fighting together, though.
@@LordBryan2013 the series sure but ruby really needs to have a strong one Vs one fight at some point now in the later volumes, this was the perfect time to do it to show that she's grown herself as a fighter in her own right.
She's not really had a good solo fight since vol 3 so having her save the day would show that she's miles ahead of the girl she was at beacon. It would also reaffirm her as someone who can save people and could have been used as a confidence boost that she deserves. The whole volume has been trying to tare her down as someone who always loses and isn't good enough this would be the proof that she can be.
So this is a theory that I saw on crunchyroll, I think Alex is the Smith, because she wanted to stay behind to fix what she broke, so she helps remake thinks that need to be fixed and its why she had the dagger and fixed Jaun back to what he was before the rusted knight
Also having the trailer music from Red, made me cry...
I think the implication is that the " Lively Carpenter" from the Original Story is the Smith and Alex is hinted at to be Juniper the Jackalope
I need the full Volume 9 album in my life.
Is it just me, or did ruby get faster with her swings? 1:00
I find it funny that Ruby by herself had the cat on the ropes where Joan, Blake, Weiss, and Yang where having difficulties.
which doesn't make sense as she isn't more powerful than the rest of her team together. i'm pretty sure she didn't get a power-up right?
@@FelixFlvnders if you think about it as the series she has gotten a little weaker over time because of the pressure to be the hero she experienced to this point, after her time in the tree she doesn’t want to be the hero just true to herself.
@@tylerloesch1660 Thing is Ruby is just naturally a prodigy and she was introduced as such, so when you're just naturally good, well rested and newly determined, it shouldn't be suprising she went off like that.
@@hadrianhexe9603 I know she’s a prodigy I’ve followed RWBY since it premiered. But that doesn’t exclude all that she has been through all these years, all the death losing of friends and feeling like she’s failed to live up to peoples expectations of her. Ruby lost herself in that. It’s thanks to the tree that she now knows she doesn’t need to be the hero she just has to be herself.
It does considering the cat has seen the others fight, especially jaune but has never seen Ruby fight. That’s why she pushed him so hard but he caught on and caught her weapon. Idk if she would have won herself cuz they ended up teamworking anyways
I love the relationship Ruby and Weiss have, happy to see Ruby like besties reunited, they rlly are besties and i love how that relationship grew as they got older. Not to mention how they kinda hated each other the first Volume lol😅😅😅
Something I noticed with this scene.
Love that it replays the theme for 'Red like Roses' but the lyrics for the start are different.
It started with "Red like roses fills my dreams, and brings me to the place you rest"
Now its just "Red like roses fills my dreams", omitting the part about what her mother's death made her feel. Not out of spite or disrespect, but because Ruby has now moved on, accepted herself as Ruby and no longer following the shadow of her mother.
Now the song can truly be about Ruby. That's who she is now.
great obersavtion.
loved that instrumental version of this will be the day ... "we're waiting for" as they come to vacou's aid, a lesson learned, stronger in mind and probably body. having made up their resolve ready to go all out towards salem or the last relic.
Not sure if anyone else caught it, but they did something extremely clever. Her opening combo is nearly identical to the one she used waaaaay back in the red trailer, just a bit sped up and refined.
And then Ruby and her team never discuss to everyone what happened to them and their adventure they went through because they easily forget everything.
Remember Sun and Neptune?
(“Who?” Everyone will ask.)
I dunno, we'll see. They kept bringing up Penny so much I expected her to be revived, but no dice :(
Who? :)
Shut up dude
Aren't they headed to Vacuo? Where Neptune and Sun are from??
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 Dude, not cool.
"When you are needed most." It's probably been half a year for everyone else, hasn't it?
This volume felt soooo short. I liked how we know a bit more about the gods. And I'm impressed that... esentially... they were created by the blacksmith so she is like a overlord over them, like a superior godess, and now we don't know where she came from. The new lore of they coming from the ever after tells us a little foreshadow of the show ending, I imagine they will return to their home back again, after whatever needs to happen happens.
Edit: And btw she seems to be kinda overseer since she knew about the past of suhmmer rose even if she wasn't there at all, just by looking at the weapon.
The _This Will Be The Day_ riff at the end gave me CHILLS
This will be the day we’re waiting for
This will be be the day we open up the door
I like the two musical callbacks - Red Like Roses & instrumental This Will Be The Day.
"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. And then the victory is yours. It can not be taken from you. Not by angels or demons. Heaven or Hell." -Buddha
why does the cat have to be so freaken cute even if it's bad?
oh i cant wait for the vol 9 OST
the music this volume was fantastic
HOW LONG TILL PART 10!?!?!?!?
I hope its 2 years bc volume 9 was so perfect bc they took on their own pasting to make volume 9 very good which im very impressed bc they're action animation really improved from volume 7 and 8. As long as they take their time and continue to make good Is choreography im so down to wait.
And Ruby makes an epic comeback 😂
