RWBY Volume 1 finale Discussion: SPOILERS

The officially thread for talking about the new episode.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS!

GOD DAMNIT I WAS GONNA MAKE THIS THREAD.

beat you to it!

sooo Penny is a robot. that wasn't surprising.

Sun's weapon: classic Monty

Also, those two cliff hangers at the end.... my god...

Sun has the best weapon so far. Staff/Gun-chucks is just awesome. Also, DAT AFTER CREDITS SCENE!

Penny confirmed for favorite character now.

Also, it's all but confirmed she wears green panties. Apparently, that anti-upskirt technology has a prerequisite length.

... In b4 "GODDAMN IT, VOX"



We also learn a new place now. I wonder if this Atlas is a new Kingdom like Vecchia, or just a general location...

Nu-13 makes an appearance.

HA! I TOTALLY CALLED IT! Sun's weapon is a bo staff and Penny is a robot!

Kitty Blake!

Penny Queen? Apparently Qrow was pretty interested about something, enough to have a lil' chat with Ozpimp, and as I saw it, Penny's 'combat readiness' was one of the more curious things. The chat said 'Mrs Queen has paws' or something like so, and since Penny is apparently a fighter in the tourny, I suppose he referred to her.

I've been pondering though, Penny reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on it. Pinocchio? Nah. Jenny the teenage robot? Nah, Monty wouldn't reference a Nickelodeon cartoon. For some reason I think of Aigis from Persona 3. I don't know, but she definitely reminds me of something...

And Penny isn't a robot, I can see the wires.

PENNY'S FIRIN' HER LAZOR!!!!

Wait a minute.... Her weapons are on strings... Sweet lord, she is a reference to Pinocchio!!

Yep, color scheme matches. Also, if gun-chucks were a thing, I'd totally redo my thoughts on the weapon.

Also, is it just me, or does Monty always come up with better weapons then we do?

I want to just take a moment to state that Roman is also kinda hardcore... seriously, he blocks damn near every hit from those gun chucks, and has no problem with Blake dashing around all over the place like that. If nothing else, the dude's got some skills.

Crimson confirmed face and name is officially "Cinder" a la the ending credits

Sun = my new fav character....

also, the little thump sound when Sun's tail whacked that one guy in the face made me smile.

Was not expected Pegis to make that kind of combat debut, but it was a nice surprise. I was a little disappointed that Sun's name was pronounced 'Sun' instead of the actual 'Soon,' but Ayren isn't Chinese so I can't really blame her.

Sun Wukong and his triple form weapon. TRIPLE FORM WEAPON. Screw you rules, I'm Sun Wukong.

Also, Penny is a robot.

And also Ionian. Damn you Irelia-Penny.

Hesus Fragging Chrismas. DAT EPISODE!


Michael's voice acting is TOP this episode. Loving Sun Wukong.

Dat flashback reminded me of Transformers Prime's flashbacks: 2D, drawn out, and epic as always. And dat bow twitch.

Weiss starting off in the episode being heartless was to be expected. Penny's appearance, not expected.

"Blake might not be who we thought she was." "Is she a man?"

"Do you always break the law without a second thought?" "Weren't you in a cult or something?"

Spoiler:

White Fang working for Torchwick?! WHAT?!?!

Sun's weapon: Bo-Shotgun-Chuks. Freakin' awesome, and his semblance seems to be repulsion. Amazing that he could match up with Roman where Blake couldn't.

Penny's Combat-Ready levels:

The airships! Amazing takedown!

"These kids just keep getting weirder."

The post credits:

Spoiler:

Jessica Nigri is Crimson Cinder!


Holy hell. Another amazing episode, and another amazing work of art from RT.

Damn, I've been waiting to talk about this for 4 days!
First, as has been said a few times already, Michael does a freaking TOP job as a VA, and Sun is probably my fav character now.
And Roman is actually a really cool villain. Probably one of my fav villains from any show/game
Plus, Cinder... Where to start? So Cinder seems to be the one in charge, and Roman is the underdog. I am thinking that Cinder is Ruby's mother. A lot of people (including myself) think Ruby's mum died, but maybe that was figuratively, like in the "you're dead to me" sense. Or maybe She was told Her mum had died instead of being told that she is now evil or something.
And one last thought, maybe the White Fang/Nameless Bad Guys relationship goes further than what we've seen? What if the current leader of the White Fang was a plant or something from Cinder? Like some kind of sabotage. Take out the peaceful leader, and replace him with your own. That way, you have an army that is hard to trace back to you. I may be over thinking this, but I still think it's a possibility.

I doubt they'd pull the whole "The bad guy is related to the main character! SUPRISE!" Cliché

maybe it's just me, but I thought Cinder looked a lot like Ruby.
