“Alright gonna be productive” *New reaction drops* “Well… I can watch this and work”

,,And make the same mistake as so many others" - I love Raven so much, and her character is so utterly complex (I don't care what anybody says)

SportySpice

“Combat ready in no time!” was a reference to Penny, which is why Ruby deflated after she said it. The Yang/Ruby reunion was so sweet. I appreciate that nothing else needed to be said — Yang just needed to make sure Ruby knew she returned the “I love you” from the V3 finale. And Weiss missing her own sister but being so delighted at being part of the family made me melt.

Mare

One of the reasons why Raven made it appear like turning her into a bird was a bad thing, is because the way she framed it made it seem like it wasn't done out of consent and more of an obligation instead.

Hakori

That reunion always hit's me right in the feels. I tear up every time, That "I love you" from yang conveyed so much in an instant and just goes back to when Ruby said it to her at the end of Volume 3. Can't wait for more!

Joe

I think the little girl asking about her mum hit Qrow so hard is because he had to tell Ty Yang and Ruby that Summer was gone . Yang and Ruby would have bin around that age.

Solus

Another great reaction

Rachel Mae

Hey here’s a fun food for thought question! Do you think Yang ever asked her dad if Qrow knew where Summer was just like that little girl? Do you think Qrow was thinking of Yang, Ruby, and Tai when he saw that little girl and her broken father? :) If I had a nickel for every time the fist fighter who lost her mother at a young age and wields badass mecha gauntlets as a weapon goes through a depression arc after but then later the fist fighter reunites with her sister and found family I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice. There’s a surprising number of Arcane parallels in RWBY lol

Also you know you’re cringe when even two of your cultiest henchmen are contemplating betraying you as soon as they deem you “not best for the Faunus.” Common Adam L

This episode also confirms Oz’s second allusion (Odin) and that Raven/Qrow were his ravens (Huginn and Muninn). Raven not only abandoned her family but abandoned her post from what we know. She’s an interesting character, dont get me wrong, but she didnt “try” at all when giving Yang an option. She left her kid and then when said kid showed up of her own accord, gave her the choice of “truth” vs her family. And I appreciate that Yang was never tempted. We know the one thing she always wanted was to find her birth mother, but she doesn’t hesitate giving up that dream because Yang’s core is her family. She was always going to choose Ruby (and Qrow), and defend her dad from insult (the one that stayed). On the “turning her into a bird” thing, Raven presents it as something that was foisted upon her. The writing is a bit sloppy there but she’s trying to manipulate Yang with “her” version of truth: which she told them from the get-go. Each person has their own version of the truth, so question everything.

The reason why Ruby suddenly got sad when talking to Oscar was that she accidentally quoted Penny and then realised she did so. "You'll be combat ready in no time!"...which mirrors "I am combat ready!" from when we met her in volume 1. Also, Raven is such a fascinating character given that I've seen so many reactors have so completely different opinions about her as a character. Some love her, some hate her, and most honestly don't know what to feel about her.

Episode 5: "Soon, you'll be combat ready in no time!" That was just mean, CRWBY! Penny, we miss you! And then you hit us with the "keep moving forward"? RIP Monty. But it was nice to check in with how Ruby's feeling about all this. Like her sister, she has a habit of keeping it all bottled up. Episode 6: "Does he know where Mommy is?" Oooh boy. That's sobering. Wonder if he was thinking back to Tai and the girls, and how they lost Raven and/or Summer. Crazy. I've always found the parallels between Team RWBY and STRQ (Stark) to be pretty interesting. Starting of course with them being Oz's golden team. Both led by Silver Eyed Warriors (Ruby/Summer). We've also got the blonde who gets abandoned (Tai/Yang). The dark haired swordswoman that runs away (Blake/Raven). The only comparison I'm unsure of is Qrow and/or Weiss. But I'm sure someone else has the answer on that. I think one of the things with Raven and Qrow being able to turn into birds is that Raven makes it sound like it was involuntary ("what Oz did to us"). Whether or not it was, eh, depends on what Oz says I guess. But also, that ability is indicative of the difference between established abilities (semblance/Dust) and something that's new and rule breaking for our characters. We kind of side step it because the characters, to us, all have fantastical abilities, but straight up magic is fantastical to them. The writers tried to make that distinction clear to varying degrees of success, I feel. "I know." Oh, Raven. The garbage fire of a mess of a human being that you are. How you fascinate me. Also Weiss' eye roll at Raven was so funny. She's so done with this bitch. Gold playing in the background of the reunion, which is Yang's song to Ruby about how she'll always be there for her, really just hurts me so much. And Yang finally saying 'I love you' back after she didn't at the end of V3! And then Weiss joining in?! I cry. Every time.

SportySpice

I guess maybe the parallel with Qrow and Weiss is they both left family/legacy behind to do good and found “real” family in doing so? Agree, the other STRQ parallels are a little more apparent. Tho I always found Blake/Qrow parallels interesting since they both think they are a curse on the people around them and fashion themselves as lone wolves but thrive around family and community.

The reason Ruby deflated after the "combat ready" mention is because it reminded her of Penny. "I'm combat ready!" was one of Pennys main catchphrases. The dojo scene is one of my favorites for Ruby and Oscar. It's one of our earliest looks into Oscars apprehensions of Oz thrusting him into this greater destiny and one of our first dives into Ruby's psyche and how she tends to push down her own grief and anxiety in favor of focusing on others & raising them up. It also really highlights how they're the two young kids of this situation. Everyone else in the group is 18 or older while Oscar is 14 and Ruby is 16 at the time of this chapter. It's a lot to handle to put such a weight on two people that young, even if they both aspired to be heroes when they grew up. It's why a lot of people tend to ship them considering they have a lot in common and they bring out aspects of each other not normally seen. I've always interpreted Yangs "You were never there! You left us!" as her projecting Blake onto Raven. Sure the "us" could be referring to her and Tai but based on the dialogue and the shot having Weiss in the background, the "us" is in reference to her and "my teammates". Raven is the embodiment of all the abandonment issues in Yangs life but Blake is the fresh wound in Yangs heart right now in that regard. It's a subtle moment that really shows how she's conflating the two in her head. It's not really touched upon much but there's this implication that Vernal is like a daughter figure to Raven and is kinda taking the place Yang would have if Yang were in the tribe with her mom, which I'm sure hurts Yang even more to see. I think the idea for why Oz making Qrow and Raven birds is "bad" is that Raven is silently implying that Oz forced it onto them without consent. The reunion of Ruby, Weiss, and Yang is my personal favorite of the ones we get. The way Ruby initially thinks Yang will scold her, the callback to their "I love you" interaction in Volume 3s finale, the music using the motif of "Gold" from Volume 1 (a song based on Yangs love for her sister), Weiss missing her own sister only for Ruby and Yang to welcome her into the hug as family, etc. Hits all the right beats to make me a sobbing mess 😭

Hollyhock

Weiss's expression changing as she realises Ruby and Yang want her as part of their family hug always gets to me 🥹

Xylia

The reason Ruby paused after telling Ozcar will be “Combat Ready” in no time is because it was Penny’s signature phrase and it saddened her as she remembered her

LikeCat

Heh, Ruby pushing down her own emotions (be it good or bad) to focus on her teamates... Not like its gonna come back later.

CrowOfAFeather

Definitely tear up at the reunion every time...And the song playing in the background just makes it all better. The sisters then inviting Weiss for a group hug and finally getting most of the team back together is so sweet!

Also, now would be an EXCELLENT time to rewatch the Yellow Trailer...paying special attention to the part just before Yang enters the club

Ryan

Ooh, LORE!

three down, one to go

First thing Yang says to Ruby is “I love you” which she never said back to her at the end of Volume 3. Just a nice full circle moment of Yang being there for her sister when she was originally pushing here away.

L Frances

Love the scene of Blake describing Adam as 'Spite'. It really explains what's so infuriating about him. He's past the point of actually fighting for people; he's given himself fully to punishing others every time they've disagreed with or disobeyed him. As for Ilia, I'm really excited for you to react to the next two episodes. There's one line from her that I really hope you don't mishear, cause really I wanna see how you react to it. That's one of the things I love about this show. There's so many lines that, for reasons of humor or just emotional depth and specificity, are so impactful when you hear them.

Jittercritter

About the Heather Fields thing… remember in volume 4 when Qrow used poisoned, he mutters “Tai… she’s not coming,.. Tai…” in a distressed way. That lead a lot of fans to speculate he delivered the news that Summer is presumed dead, and this would have been when Yang and Ruby were so young that Ruby didn’t even talk yet. So this moment was probably triggering as all hell, especially considering he knew all the Huntsmen he made a list of. Poor Qrow

pneuma163

oh my gosh... I know a lot about this show but that had slipped past me and that's on me for ignoring how thoughtful CRWBY so often is

pneuma163

Raven's framing of the fact that Oz turned her and Qrow into birds used to confuse me because the writing here is a little bit sloppy, but as others have said it's that Raven is implying that Oz forced it onto them. Then Yang has her "you don't believe her" line to Weiss followed immediately by proof that, yes, Raven can turn into a raven which is probably a bit disturbing for Yang. However I think there's another level that can't be ignored: Raven's perspective may be completely understandable in that when she was younger she really felt like she (and thought that Qrow) had to accept the gift. At this point in the show we don't know the circumstances of that gift, so Raven may resent the circumstances that caused her to "accept" the gift. And then thereafter she settles into the perspective that she has now about it which caused her to reject the role that having the ability had placed her into. Raven is such an interesting character already by this point.

The reprise of people mentioning Nora's eating habits has been in the back of my mind all morning and I realized it's probably from growing up food insecure. Kind of reminds me of Zari 1.0 in Legends of Tomorrow.

Jittercritter

It does seem a bit groomy (nons*xual kind obviously) that he gave them special treatment, then when they trusted him he put a ton of responsibility and pressure on them without even disclosing everything (remember, Raven said that she DUG for information, which means she knows more about Oz than he intended for her to know, maybe even more than WE know). I’d be angry and afraid too tbh

Jittercritter

Something to note: as I pointed out in volume 3 finale, Ruby and Yang seemed to still share a room before they went to Beacon. So the fact that they have been apart for this long (and gone through so much in that time) is pretty huge, especially considering they didn’t leave on super great terms.

massquot

The way I interpreted the bird reveal was that she was using it to prove her actual point- not that being birdmode is a bad thing itself, but that the adults in Yang's life had been knowingly, deliberately hiding world-changing information from her, like that true Magic exists in Remnant.

Kiesen

I haven't had the best of days, so it's great to have one of your RWBY reactions waiting for me at the end of it. Here's my usual rambles, per habit: - If you like Blake's ears now, just wait for the later volumes. - From Shadows (Blake's leitmotif) playing towards the beginning of Blake's chat with Sun. It fades into Like Morning Follows Night (the song from the Sea Feilong fight at the beginning of V4) when she thanks him. There's always leitmotifs in episodes but I think this one's a fun combo. - "At this pace, you'll be combat ready in no time!" <--- casually saying Penny's "combat ready" line right before bringing her up. - Pyrrha's death never fails to keep its gravity throughout the entire show. Lesser shows would resurrect her but RWBY understands on a deep, personal level the reality that you can't bring people back- just "keep moving forward" like they're still by your side. It's genuinely one of my favorite things about the show. - Anybody else get chills rewatching the beginning of episode 6? It's hell recontextualized. - I said it last time, but I used to think Raven was such a bitch. I get it now though, but god damn they make it so easy to hate her. - But at the same time, I like that her sharp tongue plants the seeds of skepticism and "You need to start asking questions." It's her way of attempting to protect Yang but it doesn't immediately come off as that because of the well, everything else. - Lmao they make such a big deal out of Raven turning into a raven. Like, okay, she has a fursona? They should've made the transformation something painful or bleeding over into her human form if they wanted it to seem terrible. (though massquot below me made a great point about it) - Gold's leitmotif playing as Ruby, Weiss, and Yang reunite!!!

LikeCat

On the note of leitmotifs, when Qrow is looking for other Huntsmen and he sits on that bench opposite that board in complete defeat, a few notes of ,,Bad Luck Charm" can be heard, you know HIS theme... I can recognize that one in a heartbeat.

Evil Queen

These reactions to RWBY and Elijah’s excitement make my day when they get released. Three girls are back together and it’s such a sweet moment that Yang says I love you as her first words back to Ruby. Can’t wait for the next, thank you Elijah!

Arashi

Another part about the turning to birds bit was to prove magic. Raven specifically brought up that Yang 'was told about her(Raven's) semblance' was to preface the fact that you can't have multiple semblances. So someone who had the semblance to shapeshift is (supposedly) possible, but Raven already had her portals so she can't /also/ change forms... except by magic. (Or some major left field fuckery/sci-fi BS :p ) That said, the whole thing was to, at least, plant a seed of doubt about how much Oz and 'his followers' are actually sharing with RW_Y and JN_R.

LikeCat

"RW_Y and JN_R" - I see what you did there... I hate it. 😭💔

Cinder's Apologist

a stellar example of seemingly insignificant details in the early volumes that can be explained much later and make you go "IT WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME"

Cinder's Apologist

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOOOOOD loving how worried Elijah is for Ilia at this point, and her visceral hatred of Adam that pops out every time he gets mentioned XD and HERE COMES THE LORE! having Raven be the one to not just tell that to Yang and Weiss but to expose the audience to these things... the hints of what is to come... it's such a fascinating choice that I still believe will pay off one day. can't wait to see the reactions later on this volume to what else Raven does

Kiesen

@LikeCat Isn't Qrow's motif one of the most used in the series? Like I'm pretty sure it's up there with Red Like Roses with how much they use it.

Luke Teasdale

I'd say the parallel for Weiss and Qrow is that they both turned away from the expectations that their family placed upon them as children to choose another path that they feel is correct Qrow was expected to lead his families bandit tribe Weiss was expected to inherit her fathers company both choose the hunter life. they both put on a front to appear as someone they are and to achieve different aims. Weiss puts on the mask of the stuck up rich girl to try and place herself in the situations that would make her father happy like being the popular girl with the most perfect hair and the most perfect friends. Qrow puts on the front of the drunken Waster to push people away so his semblance does not endanger them, it also means people underestimate him so they get caught off guard when they see how much of a skilled fighter he is. Both Weiss and Qrow suffer loneliness because of these masks they wear but Weiss has faced her flaw head on by finding a true family, Qrow is still working on that.

Luke Teasdale

Oh he absolutely sees the parallels, it also breaks him a little bit because he probably blames himself for what has happened to summer

Benjamin Sones

Easy to miss, but: When Ruby is talking to Oscar, she tells him that he'll "be combat-ready in no time!" And then she freezes, and suddenly looks really sad, and it's because she realized that she just used Penny's catchphrase without realizing it.

Vince

You could give me a million years and I’d still immediately start actually crying when Yang pulls Ruby into her arms and the first words out of her mouth are “I love you.” because she was *fucking terrified* she would never get to see Ruby again without fixing that mistake. Letting her doubt even for a minute that Yang loved her baby sister. Stupid family. Stupid feelings. Stupid show.

Christopher Groenewald

10:30 Shit. I just picked that up. The frown that Ruby makes when she tell Oscar "You'll be combat ready in no time." It brought back memories of Penny. "I'm combat ready." Was what Penny said to her when they first met.
