Adams a little Bullheaded when it comes to Blake. He really sees Red when she's around. Not sorry. Only puns I could come up with. Love your reactions!
I love how symbolic Adam's scar makes him and how it links to his entire personality. The blue eye kind of shows the person he once was, before the S.D.C did what they did to him, and then you have the scarred side. All red, and pale and showing the ugly monster that was formed atop. I don't think what he did is forgiven by his past, I don't sympathise for him....but as a writer, I think this whole moment improved his character so much. It shows why he has so much rage in him, and Blake running away in the end was the last straw for his madness and the demon took over ever since. I think Blake realised that when she left, knowing that if there was a good man in him before...he is long gone now. Now there is just the monster. I understand your views on his character and I 100% respect them because you are valid. His past does not excuse the crimes he has committed...however, the person I feel for is the man he was. Not the monster he became. It's kinda sad, because of how far he has fallen. People may not agree with me, but we all view characters differently. Great reaction again, Arryn! Can't wait for next week XD

Can I just bring to mind 2 things. Ruby shot down a missile presumably traveling near mach with a single shot. That is scary marksmanship and terrifying power in Crescent Rose. And the fact that Yang took the Moonlight Slice, an attack that has cleaved a Paladin sized mech and still has her aura up. If she triggers her sembelence and hits with double that force.

Pull the plugs, crank it over to get the water out of the cylinders. Probably fresh water, so no salt to fuck it up. Dry out the electrics & it’ll be ok. May have to replace the ECM if there is any computerised bits in it. Hard to equate ICE powered earth bikes to Dust powered Remnant bikes though. Either way, the fork is probably fucked, front wheel, maybe the frame. It won’t be a quick fix either way.

Except not. They're just really close friends, more like sisters. My best friend Holly and I are that close. We call one another our sister from another mister.
@SaviorOfNirn meh that wasn't really a serious thought, i still liked the way she reacted to it for sure, but i don't know if it will ever be canon. I mean sometimes they let you think that, while some other times it goes the opposite way, who knows...
I don't get why people need to get worked up about this.. In one of the last reaction videos Arryn said something in regard, about viewing Pyrrha as Bi and posing the simple question "who does it hurt if think she is". Well i say the same point stands for this last scene as well, who does it hurt? I mean unless you are called Adam Taurus or Sun Wukong it really shouldn't bother you so much.
@SaviorOfNirn call me out on a joke? Lol, dude you are the one making big fuss about it, i just said it could be, now if you wanna keep being pissy about it and mock other viewers for their ideas, i really couldn't care less, at least they gave you an example from the episode. All you did was basically saying "no it's not canon you only want to see it as canon" so whatever really.
Have you ever slowed down the speed in this fights you see everything all of the emotion in their facial expressions and the hits, honestly i reccomended doing thatin ya own time its awesome, shows how much RT love this so much
How are people confused about the fact that Ren and Nora are together-together, it was the whole point of their arc in Vol4. Show don't say. He took her hand in his (surprising her, this is not something he did with her as friends) and she cuddled up happily to his as 'Boop' played in the background. Then they are shown cuddling in their hotel room, taking comfort in each other as they remember family lost. Then the Vol6 opening shows her with her arms wrapped around him at the train station. This is not a 'friend' type of hugging. It would be very much in character for Ren to not be much for PDA, and Nora would respect that
I just finished the episode myself and was excited to see yours . You are one of my favorite reactors and I Stan bumble bee / white rose. I loved it when the bike hit Adam and did you know that Blake ‘s VA got a bumble bee tattoo . Yang’s VA was thinking about getting a matching one too.
I called this version of the song "Armed and Ready - Triumphant". It's Armed and Ready, but I've heard a few hints of The Triumph and This Time buried in there.
Having empathy for someone because something terrible happened to them isn't the same as saying their actions are justified. Adam is a fucking terrible person, but I still feel sad for him.
Regarding how Adam found them, I don't think he tracked them all the way to Argus via Little Miss since Adam's not notably "big" like Little Miss's guard mentioned - she likely was talking about Hazel, which is how he knew they were going to Atlas, seeing as the discussion of going to Atlas happened after the battle was won. I think Qrow's quip about the staff entrance to the caboose being left open was the hint and that Adam stowed away. We know that when they went on the Argus Limited that it had been weeks since the attack, so Adam's scene in Episode 1 could have happened in that time span since we also know that the White Fang HQ is in Mistral based on Salem's assignments in V4C1. It's entirely possible that he could have hopped the train in that same time and that the Adam we saw in the first episode really was him, but that he stayed with the front of the train since the passengers would have been alerted to the plan and he'd know that Blake would be with her team and they'd be looking to meet back up in Argus (Yang saw him in his original outfit, so that would be a PTSD hallucination). Being that JNR were enacting the plan on the train, he could have been keeping watch on them in Argus, just waiting for Blake to show back up. As for people empathizing with Adam, I don't think anyone empathizes with all he has done, particularly in regards to his fuckboi abusive views, more empathizing with his hatred for humanity because of what was done to him. It doesn't mean they agree with him and support his actions, just that they can put themselves in his shoes and understand why he has the views he does. What he has done is utterly unforgivable, but his extremist views are at least in perspective now - he's not just a bad guy for the sake of being a bad guy. So yes, "cool motive, still murder" is fitting - he's a terrorist and an abusive sack of shit, but the first half of that is at least understandable now.
I love the fact that they show that Ruby probably sees most things as really freaking slow, due to the fact that the missiles fired at her might as well have not been moving. At least it seems that way when she uses her semblance.
Adam is a good case for a person that was a victim but became a monster. He had a lot of bad things happen to him but that's an explanation for his actions, not and excuse. Being a victim doesn't give you the right to make victims of others. The sad thing is there are lots of people that do think that because they had bad things happen to them it does justify doing bad things to others. Its their warped way of balancing the scales but the reality is that it's just lashing out. Adam is no different then most other serial killers or abusers. He had something horrible happen to him but wasn't able to deal with it in a healthy way so the anger and bitterness just ate at him till whatever good there was in him was gone and all that was left was a monster. Also wow you actually watched 50 Shades. I did not realize you were that much of a masochist Aryn 😉
Wilahelm2 To give Adam a bit more credit, he was in a position where it was really hecking hard to be healthy about it. After the trauma he suffered from what was basically a concentration camp, he joined a group - originally intended for peaceful protest, mind you, and petty crimes like theft in response to extreme racism - and was radicalized by Sienna, who constantly praised him whenever he was forced to kill a human.
@@flatsnark2516 That's true but again that's an explanation for his actions not a justification for them. Adam got a raw deal from life and it sucks that he was never given the right support to help him deal with his trauma, I do feel some sympathy for him. That being said he was still an adult and no one forced him to make the choices he did. He had choices and he chose to give in to his anger and resentment. Whatever our background we are still responsible for the choices we make and the consequences for those choices.
I love the similarity/differences of Yang and Adam's semblances and how they reflect their characters; they both gain power through damage and use that energy to fight back, but whereas Yang allows herself to feel the pain, reflecting how she allows herself to be affected by her experiences, and uses that to get stronger, Adam avoids feeling anything just like he avoids responsibility for his actions, using his sword to deflect the damage just like he deflects blame for everything he feels is wrong with his life.
- Nora's "my man" hit me right in the Renora feels, I really do need to know if its official that they're dating cause this line and the intro suggest they are. - Qrow and Ren working together is just aesthetically so pleasing. - I love that Blake was able to go toe to toe with Adam for at least a bit, cause she's a badass - Adam's usage of "behave" is telling if it wasn't already very clearly obvious how much of an abusive piece of garbage he is. Funnily though his comments ("You're selfish" "You're a coward") towards Blake do align to a certain incel and sexist/misogynistic portion of the viewership who say the same things. - Yang's evolution in fighting is just
My favorite part of the Blake/Adam fight was when she used her sheath to steal Wilt from him. That was fantastic. It's good to see how much effort CRWBY put into the fights this volume. It's clear they've learned from the negative reactions to last volume's fights.
Iridescent Moonbeam it’ll be back. Give RT a bit to get to it. There’s an email you have to send to RT to get your vid unblocked and they get so many that it usually takes a while before they get to respond.
blackvial usually but imagine getting mass emails. That’s hard to reply to and they can’t program ALL the stuff to be open cuz than full episodes will be uploaded. They probably think it’s better to do it manually. Plus Arryn’s vids are usually blocked for a few days
It just occured to me. Adam's scar/burn-mark/whatever-it-is said SDC, for Schnee Dust Company. Apparently he was a former slave from Dust mines. No wonder he hates humans, tbh.
Adam following them was a great fakeout. It’s his new outfit in episode 1, which Blake wouldn’t know, so it must have been him. But at the farm when Yang sees him it’s his old outfit with the mask, which we know he dropped after Haven. So that was an actual hallucination.
You're content is the best and honestly I laughed so much during this video! Also I can't believe I predicted you would say It's not also a gun anymore,it's just a gun XD! Keep up the good content!
When you sacrifice your footing while someone is pushing against you sword vs sword, you have no balance to kick and just fall over backwards. Get one of your roommates and try it, they seem like they would be up to those kinds of shenaningans. :) You seem to live with some nice people, shoutout to them!
At the start, you mentioned that you didn't know how he was able to tail them, and someone told you that he was the one who contacted Little Miss. This wasn't the case. Hazel was the one who contacted Little Miss. Remember in Volume 5, Hazel fled before hearing about them going to Atlas, but he still was able to tell Salem about that plan. Hence, it was him. Plus, Little Miss's underling said "That big guy" (Volume 4, Chapter 2, 13:33) about who searched. I think Hazel is big. Adam isn't really. Adam simply never let Blake out of his sights. He wasn't a hallucination on the train, but he was a hallucination on the farm.
Would anyone be open to this ending of Adam? Blake convinces him to stop fighting but he decides target his hate to those who actually hurt him. Thus he goes on a murder spree against the Schnee family. He destroys the mining area and manages to kill Weiss's stepfather. He cries out of pain but also relief until he sees Weiss. He knows she is an innocent but the rage won't let him stop until ends the Schnee family entirely. Blake finally acknowledges that he is a monster beyond saving. After exhausting himself he can barely hold his sword and he is the one left trembling. Blake is at his heaving body seemingly prepared to end him but instead cries and hold him. He is shocked and feels overwhelmed. He raises his sword as if to stab Blake in the back but instead runs it through his own chest. He falls to the ground with his last words being "Hate is blinding. I've been in darkness all my life unable to see any light ahead. Then you showed up. And for once I saw a glimmer at the end of the tunnel. But hate kept me in the dark and covered my eyes from hope and love. Save us Blake. Bring the people I lured in to my darkness out of the shadows. I'm sorry." The abused faunus receives justice and Blake and Yang won't have to live with blood on their hands.
Adam is basically not an insane man, but a man mentally scarred and dealing with the worst type of abandonment issues. Blake was probably the first person to every make him feel...like less of an animal. He was her mentor in combat yes, but Blake was the one who probably taught him what love feels like. So he like many other victims, became attached to Blake. This could make the scene between him and Ghira in the Adam trailer weigh more due to Adam and Blake's relationship. Ghira saw that Adam's aggression was starting to erupt more and tried to keep him under control, but Sienna comes in and reinforces his actions as "justified". This leads the Belladonna's leaving and Blake leaving him on the train. Adam lost the one person who showed him any kind of affection. And to make matters worse, she left him for the very race of people who tormented and branded him. A human.
No lie, the mech fight was giving me Shadow of the Colossus vibes. Best addition this season. Also "YOU GET BACK HERE WITH MY MAN!" needs to be Ren and Nora's description from here on out
"A lot of them must have gone meh and went back to work." It's San Francisco. They don't get worked up about shaking that's less than a 6.0 magnitude quake.
“That is manipulative bull shit”. Well..... TECHNICALLY can’t blame him for that. It’s in his genes. 😂 I love how Arnold makes a cameo in episode 12, too.
32:07 - Holy crap, that voice! Genuinely made me spit-take. The thing they don't tell you? If you do it legit, it BURNS the inside of your nose. As for the Adam stuff, yeah he got hurt (seriously, sod the Schnee Dust Company. Who brands someone's EYE?). That doesn't excuse, justify, or soften the monster he's become. Watching your reaction is the BEST PART OF THIS FANDOM. Thank you for it. P.S One thing does bug me though: why is Blake's scar cross-shaped? She got stabbed by a single-edged blade.
@@dirttrackart So what, he stabbed her three times before (one for each point of the cross), in exactly the same place? That's stretching credulity JJJUUUSSSTTT a bit.
@@ensanesane Eh, the stitching still wouldn't look like that. And when we see him twist, it's not like he spins it 360* . So there wouldn't be that shape scar on one side. I think it's fair to say the artists just figured it looked cool. :D
I notice some reactors have this problem. Her name is Caroline Cordovin. Not Cordova, Cordovin. Like the color. Also, her name was Lil’ Miss Malachite.
No you are wrong and Jaune is right .. remember up until recently Mantel (now Atlas) and Mistral were friends and Allies ... and Argus was a vital trade post for Atlas ... so it makes sense that they would have something there to fight against possible Giant Grimm .... like or bigger than the Water Dragon from Volume 4. For Hard Light we actually already seen it in use ... its what Velvet uses to create her weapon copies. Also almost no reactor realizes how really bad this actually is ... as if RWBY+ win and take it down they leave Argus vulnerable to deep see Grimm .....
17:02 I love your reactions because you react very similar to myself and it’s really relatable, but your expression right here, omg I couldn’t help but laugh
I think the Adam on the train was real, but the one at the farm was just a hallucination. If he was on the train then he would have ended up in Argos days ahead of RWBY. To be at the farm would have required him to backtrack to a place where they might or might not be, whereas he knows they were going to Argos otherwise they wouldn't have been on the train in the first place.
You can catch Blake looking at Adam's sword the entire time she's 1v1-ing him - even in 6x10. She's trying to get it away from him all throughout the fight, and she does briefly when she sheaths it. I love a strategic girl!!!! One thing I wanna say is that I love the tension of the Adam/Yang/Blake fight. Adam is clearly a very deadly opponent and, although the girls have grown beyond the control he has over their lives, he's still too tough of an opponent for Yang or Blake to take down alone. So...they're absolutely gonna have to do it together. :)
"That's a nice sword, you bitch!" I guess it's just a gun now. "-but he's gonna run out of ammunition." Nobody in RWBY ever runs out of ammunition unless it's for dramatic effect.
I love you reactions Arryn, thank you so much. I have two thing I want to say. 1. I never picked up the Bumble Bee subtle referencing, I love it so much! Literally getting hit in the crotch by a symbolic representation of Blake and Yang F/F relationship is fantastic, and I love it! Thank you for pointing that out; it has quite literally made my day! 2. I do feel sympathy for Adam, it is clear that he has been abused terribly in the past, and I don't think he deserved that. But that in NO WAY excuse for the horrific abuse he has perpetuated against both Blake and Yang. He staked Blake across an entire continent; viciously maimed Yang at Beacon, murdered innocent people in a pathetic order to try and make himself better. I do feel sympathy for Adam, but nowhere near as much as I feel for both Yang and Blake. They, despite the abuse he heaped upon them, never tired to hurt others to make themselves feel better; they even gave him a chance to walk away... he didn't take it. He is the only one responsible for what happens to him next.
You can find the incomplete version of the song 'Big Metal Shoe,' which is the song that plays when they start fighting Caroline, on FlyntofRWBY's channel if you are curious about it Puns.
it is actually funny how Jaune says that the mech is meant for bigger Grimm, and then Chapter 12 goes down...(there is starting to be too much #CalledIt this volume)
I would say that this fight with Adam might be the best fight since vol2 when pyrrha fights team cardin, and I did cry when they held hands I watch rwby with a friend over on discord but he didn't know about that I'm just so happy for Blake and yang, also Blake is my fav sooo, just because she's the most like me, anyways lovef the episode and the music was great as well.
I dont know if you noticed that Adam was branded with the initials for the schnee dust company

Except not. They're just really close friends, more like sisters. My best friend Holly and I are that close. We call one another our sister from another mister.
LMAO "that a nice sword u bitch" I feel like Blake said the same thing in her mind
Arryn's Face at Bumbleblee getting closer to canon, that's just priceless :P
come on, whether you like it or you hate it that was cute
@SaviorOfNirn meh that wasn't really a serious thought, i still liked the way she reacted to it for sure, but i don't know if it will ever be canon.
I mean sometimes they let you think that, while some other times it goes the opposite way, who knows...
@SaviorOfNirn You homophobes are so delusional.
I don't get why people need to get worked up about this.. In one of the last reaction videos Arryn said something in regard, about viewing Pyrrha as Bi and posing the simple question "who does it hurt if think she is". Well i say the same point stands for this last scene as well, who does it hurt? I mean unless you are called Adam Taurus or Sun Wukong it really shouldn't bother you so much.
@SaviorOfNirn call me out on a joke? Lol, dude you are the one making big fuss about it, i just said it could be, now if you wanna keep being pissy about it and mock other viewers for their ideas, i really couldn't care less, at least they gave you an example from the episode. All you did was basically saying "no it's not canon you only want to see it as canon" so whatever really.
Yang is like “THIS BIKE EMPTY, YEET!!!!”
Yang doesnt eat ice cream with me
I dont eat ice cream with Yang
We both eat ice cream together
I heard someone say "SDC means Small Dick Confirmed" and it is so perfect as it works for both Adam and Jacques. ^_^
Have you ever slowed down the speed in this fights you see everything all of the emotion in their facial expressions and the hits, honestly i reccomended doing thatin ya own time its awesome, shows how much RT love this so much
How are people confused about the fact that Ren and Nora are together-together, it was the whole point of their arc in Vol4. Show don't say. He took her hand in his (surprising her, this is not something he did with her as friends) and she cuddled up happily to his as 'Boop' played in the background. Then they are shown cuddling in their hotel room, taking comfort in each other as they remember family lost. Then the Vol6 opening shows her with her arms wrapped around him at the train station. This is not a 'friend' type of hugging. It would be very much in character for Ren to not be much for PDA, and Nora would respect that
"I'm gonna be bi here for a moment..." What a mood.
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT, it freakin' killed me when you started playing Bmblb as you were talking about Yang and Blake. Perfect choice!
I just finished the episode myself and was excited to see yours . You are one of my favorite reactors and I Stan bumble bee / white rose. I loved it when the bike hit Adam and did you know that Blake ‘s VA got a bumble bee tattoo . Yang’s VA was thinking about getting a matching one too.
MY EYES ARE OPEN WIDE!
I'M RACING TO HER SIDE!
YOU WISHED YOU KILLED ME, KNOW I'M STRONGERRRRR!!!!
There's nothing that I won't do for her!
I called this version of the song "Armed and Ready - Triumphant". It's Armed and Ready, but I've heard a few hints of The Triumph and This Time buried in there.
No it IS for large Grimm from deeper waters.
Curtis Murphy don’t spoil.
Aqua Dash I honestly wasn’t trying to spoil anything I just didn’t agree with her.
@@curtismurphy6206 true i thought it was for big grim invasions though i dont have first lol
Having empathy for someone because something terrible happened to them isn't the same as saying their actions are justified. Adam is a fucking terrible person, but I still feel sad for him.
Regarding how Adam found them, I don't think he tracked them all the way to Argus via Little Miss since Adam's not notably "big" like Little Miss's guard mentioned - she likely was talking about Hazel, which is how he knew they were going to Atlas, seeing as the discussion of going to Atlas happened after the battle was won. I think Qrow's quip about the staff entrance to the caboose being left open was the hint and that Adam stowed away. We know that when they went on the Argus Limited that it had been weeks since the attack, so Adam's scene in Episode 1 could have happened in that time span since we also know that the White Fang HQ is in Mistral based on Salem's assignments in V4C1. It's entirely possible that he could have hopped the train in that same time and that the Adam we saw in the first episode really was him, but that he stayed with the front of the train since the passengers would have been alerted to the plan and he'd know that Blake would be with her team and they'd be looking to meet back up in Argus (Yang saw him in his original outfit, so that would be a PTSD hallucination). Being that JNR were enacting the plan on the train, he could have been keeping watch on them in Argus, just waiting for Blake to show back up.
As for people empathizing with Adam, I don't think anyone empathizes with all he has done, particularly in regards to his fuckboi abusive views, more empathizing with his hatred for humanity because of what was done to him. It doesn't mean they agree with him and support his actions, just that they can put themselves in his shoes and understand why he has the views he does. What he has done is utterly unforgivable, but his extremist views are at least in perspective now - he's not just a bad guy for the sake of being a bad guy. So yes, "cool motive, still murder" is fitting - he's a terrorist and an abusive sack of shit, but the first half of that is at least understandable now.
I love the fact that they show that Ruby probably sees most things as really freaking slow, due to the fact that the missiles fired at her might as well have not been moving. At least it seems that way when she uses her semblance.
10:40 was literally "Getting over it with Ruby Rose".
No one is protecting the other but they are protecting each other.
WAIT! WHAT?!
Adam is a good case for a person that was a victim but became a monster. He had a lot of bad things happen to him but that's an explanation for his actions, not and excuse. Being a victim doesn't give you the right to make victims of others. The sad thing is there are lots of people that do think that because they had bad things happen to them it does justify doing bad things to others. Its their warped way of balancing the scales but the reality is that it's just lashing out. Adam is no different then most other serial killers or abusers. He had something horrible happen to him but wasn't able to deal with it in a healthy way so the anger and bitterness just ate at him till whatever good there was in him was gone and all that was left was a monster.
Also wow you actually watched 50 Shades. I did not realize you were that much of a masochist Aryn 😉
Wilahelm2 To give Adam a bit more credit, he was in a position where it was really hecking hard to be healthy about it. After the trauma he suffered from what was basically a concentration camp, he joined a group - originally intended for peaceful protest, mind you, and petty crimes like theft in response to extreme racism - and was radicalized by Sienna, who constantly praised him whenever he was forced to kill a human.
@@flatsnark2516 That's true but again that's an explanation for his actions not a justification for them. Adam got a raw deal from life and it sucks that he was never given the right support to help him deal with his trauma, I do feel some sympathy for him. That being said he was still an adult and no one forced him to make the choices he did. He had choices and he chose to give in to his anger and resentment. Whatever our background we are still responsible for the choices we make and the consequences for those choices.
I too luff Blek end Yeng. I am here for all of this.
I love the similarity/differences of Yang and Adam's semblances and how they reflect their characters; they both gain power through damage and use that energy to fight back, but whereas Yang allows herself to feel the pain, reflecting how she allows herself to be affected by her experiences, and uses that to get stronger, Adam avoids feeling anything just like he avoids responsibility for his actions, using his sword to deflect the damage just like he deflects blame for everything he feels is wrong with his life.
this. excellent analysis
- Nora's "my man" hit me right in the Renora feels, I really do need to know if its official that they're dating cause this line and the intro suggest they are.
- Qrow and Ren working together is just aesthetically so pleasing.
- I love that Blake was able to go toe to toe with Adam for at least a bit, cause she's a badass
- Adam's usage of "behave" is telling if it wasn't already very clearly obvious how much of an abusive piece of garbage he is. Funnily though his comments ("You're selfish" "You're a coward") towards Blake do align to a certain incel and sexist/misogynistic portion of the viewership who say the same things.
- Yang's evolution in fighting is just
They left her hanging so it was a literal cliffhanger lol
Adam is a BRAND new person without his blindfold. I like his blue eye! Great reaction btw!
Edit: Right, he only has one blue eye left, I SEE that now.
ThatEgghead he kind of removed his blindfold like Riku except I like Riku.
One blue eye, the other one under the brand looked redish, probably from the damage it took from the SDC brand
Branded like a bull
I wish she had said "we're not protecting xxxxx..." yang: "we're kicking your ass!"
That MHMM and smile at the end was priceless ❤️😭👍
I freaking love your hyping at the end! XD Rip Gambol Shroud and Bumblebee the Bike.
My favorite part of the Blake/Adam fight was when she used her sheath to steal Wilt from him. That was fantastic. It's good to see how much effort CRWBY put into the fights this volume. It's clear they've learned from the negative reactions to last volume's fights.
Xiao Long got taken down for "copyright"
Good thing I'm here before this gets taken down!
Iridescent Moonbeam it’ll be back. Give RT a bit to get to it. There’s an email you have to send to RT to get your vid unblocked and they get so many that it usually takes a while before they get to respond.
@@ChuggaasNo1Fan it is just strange because they usually have that taken care of before they publish the video
blackvial usually but imagine getting mass emails. That’s hard to reply to and they can’t program ALL the stuff to be open cuz than full episodes will be uploaded. They probably think it’s better to do it manually. Plus Arryn’s vids are usually blocked for a few days
@@ChuggaasNo1Fan nah they rejected my copyright dispute for some reason and kept the video blocked? I've reuploaded and disputed it
Xiao Long and it’s the same format used in other reactions and your past reactions??
I lovw how no one is catching right away that adam´s scar says SDC
It just occured to me. Adam's scar/burn-mark/whatever-it-is said SDC, for Schnee Dust Company. Apparently he was a former slave from Dust mines.
No wonder he hates humans, tbh.
That smile, though! :)
You’d think Adam’s hate would be more focused since the brand on his eye stands for Schnee Dust Company.
Adam following them was a great fakeout. It’s his new outfit in episode 1, which Blake wouldn’t know, so it must have been him.
But at the farm when Yang sees him it’s his old outfit with the mask, which we know he dropped after Haven. So that was an actual hallucination.
You're content is the best and honestly I laughed so much during this video! Also I can't believe I predicted you would say It's not also a gun anymore,it's just a gun XD! Keep up the good content!
When you sacrifice your footing while someone is pushing against you sword vs sword, you have no balance to kick and just fall over backwards. Get one of your roommates and try it, they seem like they would be up to those kinds of shenaningans. :) You seem to live with some nice people, shoutout to them!
I was the one who told her that in the last episode, but she is obsessed with Adam getting kicked in the dick by Blake
At the start, you mentioned that you didn't know how he was able to tail them, and someone told you that he was the one who contacted Little Miss. This wasn't the case. Hazel was the one who contacted Little Miss. Remember in Volume 5, Hazel fled before hearing about them going to Atlas, but he still was able to tell Salem about that plan. Hence, it was him. Plus, Little Miss's underling said "That big guy" (Volume 4, Chapter 2, 13:33) about who searched. I think Hazel is big. Adam isn't really. Adam simply never let Blake out of his sights. He wasn't a hallucination on the train, but he was a hallucination on the farm.
“The motorcycle hit him right in the D*ck like AWESOME!!” That killed me I’m so sorry
Would anyone be open to this ending of Adam? Blake convinces him to stop fighting but he decides target his hate to those who actually hurt him. Thus he goes on a murder spree against the Schnee family. He destroys the mining area and manages to kill Weiss's stepfather. He cries out of pain but also relief until he sees Weiss. He knows she is an innocent but the rage won't let him stop until ends the Schnee family entirely. Blake finally acknowledges that he is a monster beyond saving. After exhausting himself he can barely hold his sword and he is the one left trembling. Blake is at his heaving body seemingly prepared to end him but instead cries and hold him. He is shocked and feels overwhelmed. He raises his sword as if to stab Blake in the back but instead runs it through his own chest. He falls to the ground with his last words being "Hate is blinding. I've been in darkness all my life unable to see any light ahead. Then you showed up. And for once I saw a glimmer at the end of the tunnel. But hate kept me in the dark and covered my eyes from hope and love. Save us Blake. Bring the people I lured in to my darkness out of the shadows. I'm sorry." The abused faunus receives justice and Blake and Yang won't have to live with blood on their hands.
Adam is basically not an insane man, but a man mentally scarred and dealing with the worst type of abandonment issues. Blake was probably the first person to every make him feel...like less of an animal.
He was her mentor in combat yes, but Blake was the one who probably taught him what love feels like. So he like many other victims, became attached to Blake.
This could make the scene between him and Ghira in the Adam trailer weigh more due to Adam and Blake's relationship. Ghira saw that Adam's aggression was starting to erupt more and tried to keep him under control, but Sienna comes in and reinforces his actions as "justified". This leads the Belladonna's leaving and Blake leaving him on the train.
Adam lost the one person who showed him any kind of affection. And to make matters worse, she left him for the very race of people who tormented and branded him.
A human.
Cool. Still an abuser
@@ienzio7795 And just like that, you missed the point.
Love how the roommate pops up just to point out our girls are canon. :D
12:50
*sigh* I have to do this.
Blake stuck Adam's sword in her sheath.
That image and what I said has a double meaning.
Get out. Just get out, please.
I really could have done without that image in my head.
*YAMEROOOOOOO*
@Brandon Mercer
Um...NO! Although Adam's sword with Blake's sheath would make for a killer weapon combo.
No. Fuck you. No. *seedor8809.exe has crashed*
"What is the weight of an unladen Lancer?"
Omg, I love you
No lie, the mech fight was giving me Shadow of the Colossus vibes. Best addition this season.
Also "YOU GET BACK HERE WITH MY MAN!" needs to be Ren and Nora's description from here on out
"A lot of them must have gone meh and went back to work." It's San Francisco. They don't get worked up about shaking that's less than a 6.0 magnitude quake.
*Happy gay noises*
“That is manipulative bull shit”. Well..... TECHNICALLY can’t blame him for that. It’s in his genes. 😂
I love how Arnold makes a cameo in episode 12, too.
32:07 - Holy crap, that voice! Genuinely made me spit-take. The thing they don't tell you? If you do it legit, it BURNS the inside of your nose.
As for the Adam stuff, yeah he got hurt (seriously, sod the Schnee Dust Company. Who brands someone's EYE?). That doesn't excuse, justify, or soften the monster he's become.
Watching your reaction is the BEST PART OF THIS FANDOM. Thank you for it.
P.S One thing does bug me though: why is Blake's scar cross-shaped? She got stabbed by a single-edged blade.
Maybe she has been stabbed by Adam before? Like before the Fall of Beacon fight.
@@dirttrackart So what, he stabbed her three times before (one for each point of the cross), in exactly the same place? That's stretching credulity JJJUUUSSSTTT a bit.
I just assume he twisted and they cross stitched it back together
@@ensanesane Eh, the stitching still wouldn't look like that. And when we see him twist, it's not like he spins it 360* . So there wouldn't be that shape scar on one side.
I think it's fair to say the artists just figured it looked cool. :D
I notice some reactors have this problem. Her name is Caroline Cordovin. Not Cordova, Cordovin. Like the color. Also, her name was Lil’ Miss Malachite.
Blake over here, Spidercatting her way across Remnant's forests.
BumbleBee is canon!!!!!!
In THIS episode, Bumblebee literally sank and drowned.
And Blake sheathed Adam's sword :)
Blake is still in LOVE Pentagon (because 5 ppl involved)
Please let me continue to hold this for a little bit! I love them both and want it to be true!
@Big mac Lol Considering I am not a first member I have to wait anyway lol!
Lol Arryn's roommate said it so it's true!!! It's CANON!!!!
@Big mac When her roommate got up from the desk behind her and walked out of frame she said BumbleBee is canon!!!! lol
No you are wrong and Jaune is right .. remember up until recently Mantel (now Atlas) and Mistral were friends and Allies ... and Argus was a vital trade post for Atlas ... so it makes sense that they would have something there to fight against possible Giant Grimm .... like or bigger than the Water Dragon from Volume 4.
For Hard Light we actually already seen it in use ... its what Velvet uses to create her weapon copies.
Also almost no reactor realizes how really bad this actually is ... as if RWBY+ win and take it down they leave Argus vulnerable to deep see Grimm .....
Arryn: "What is the weight of an unladen Lancer?" Me: "African of European? =D
Adam: (Takes his bandana off)
Todoroki: Nice scar. (Slurps down noodles)
10:12 African Or European??
I DON'T KNOW THAT!
*falls from cliff*
How did you learn so much about lancers?
(thumbs up)
10:30 lOoK aT yOu LeArNiNg HoW tO uSe YoUr AuRa
-_-
Every time she says girls I think of Gru from Despicable Me XD
17:02 I love your reactions because you react very similar to myself and it’s really relatable, but your expression right here, omg I couldn’t help but laugh
That smile after the chapter was priceless. All my emotions put into a single facial expression and I’m living 😎
MY GORLS
'That's a nice sword you bitch.' Same Arryn.
I think the Adam on the train was real, but the one at the farm was just a hallucination. If he was on the train then he would have ended up in Argos days ahead of RWBY. To be at the farm would have required him to backtrack to a place where they might or might not be, whereas he knows they were going to Argos otherwise they wouldn't have been on the train in the first place.
You can catch Blake looking at Adam's sword the entire time she's 1v1-ing him - even in 6x10. She's trying to get it away from him all throughout the fight, and she does briefly when she sheaths it. I love a strategic girl!!!!
One thing I wanna say is that I love the tension of the Adam/Yang/Blake fight. Adam is clearly a very deadly opponent and, although the girls have grown beyond the control he has over their lives, he's still too tough of an opponent for Yang or Blake to take down alone. So...they're absolutely gonna have to do it together. :)
22:04 haha, RIP her jacket, which got ripped. :D
"That's a nice sword, you bitch!"
I guess it's just a gun now.
"-but he's gonna run out of ammunition."
Nobody in RWBY ever runs out of ammunition unless it's for dramatic effect.
Thank you for bringing up the spider-roach thing, because those sound terrifying.
I love you reactions Arryn, thank you so much. I have two thing I want to say.
1. I never picked up the Bumble Bee subtle referencing, I love it so much! Literally getting hit in the crotch by a symbolic representation of Blake and Yang F/F relationship is fantastic, and I love it! Thank you for pointing that out; it has quite literally made my day!
2. I do feel sympathy for Adam, it is clear that he has been abused terribly in the past, and I don't think he deserved that. But that in NO WAY excuse for the horrific abuse he has perpetuated against both Blake and Yang. He staked Blake across an entire continent; viciously maimed Yang at Beacon, murdered innocent people in a pathetic order to try and make himself better. I do feel sympathy for Adam, but nowhere near as much as I feel for both Yang and Blake. They, despite the abuse he heaped upon them, never tired to hurt others to make themselves feel better; they even gave him a chance to walk away... he didn't take it. He is the only one responsible for what happens to him next.
Bud she said, "my man." I don't know what kind of extra affirmation you need.
*Watching the first few minutes of the video and notices a Gravity Falls Dipper Hat in the background*
Me: Audible Gasp!
*Yang shows up*
me: "Black and Yellow black and yellow black and yellow!"
For Chapter 12
(Dr Ian Malcolms Voicemod) "Hang on this is going to be bad."
You can find the incomplete version of the song 'Big Metal Shoe,' which is the song that plays when they start fighting Caroline, on FlyntofRWBY's channel if you are curious about it Puns.
it is actually funny how Jaune says that the mech is meant for bigger Grimm, and then Chapter 12 goes down...(there is starting to be too much #CalledIt this volume)
Taking damage from your puns are already given at this point...
I kinda wish Blakes line had been "She's not protecting me. And I'm not protecting her. We are fighting for each other."
16:59 I was so depressed until she did that XD
*Has to climb onto giant in attempt to kill it*
"Hey, i've played this game before"
Finally got around to watching this and your reaction was exactly what I was hoping for. xD
I love how you just cue up bumblebee when you went on the topic
"Pound that baby like a pumpkin, bitch!"
That's a new one o.0
I would say that this fight with Adam might be the best fight since vol2 when pyrrha fights team cardin, and I did cry when they held hands I watch rwby with a friend over on discord but he didn't know about that I'm just so happy for Blake and yang, also Blake is my fav sooo, just because she's the most like me, anyways lovef the episode and the music was great as well.
I just love your reactions. I especially couldn't wait for this one. Thanks so much.
*sees a new Arryn upload*
