I know a lot of people don't like the show after this volume ends, but I have to whole-heartedly disagree with them. No spoilers, the show does take a different, more serious tone, but I think it still captures the essence of the first three seasons while still progressing as a show. However, I love every single one of the volumes, so I might be biased.

First off, I like to look upon any story with hope and optimism. I also believe you will love the post Volume 3 material. Truth be told, there are those that agree with me that Volume 4 is the number one Volume. I'm not sure I've ever heard someone choose Volume 1 and have only known one that chose Volume 5, but you will find your own favorites. I've known those that chose almost all of the volumes as numero uno. Volume 3 is very good, don't get me wrong, but its not my favorite. Secondly, now you have met Qrow. Qrow is a great character (although not top five in my mind being Nora Valkyrie, Lie Ren, Emerald Sustrai, a character starting with the letter H (that hasn't been introduced), and Zwei Xiao Long ). The name of the bar Qrow was drinking was the Crow Bar. In the first chapter of volume 1, Ruby mentioned her Uncle Qrow teaching her the scythe. In Volume 2, Yang drew the cogs of Qrow's gears in his scythe when talking with Blake (and getting her to slow down just before the dance). A silhouette of Qrow was seen in that sequence too. So, too, did Ozpin receive a text from Qrow at the end of the first Volume saying the "Queen has pawns", You have a remarkable understanding of who 'she'' is and perhaps better than any reactor I've seen thus far, Alex. Qrow is about 40, not college aged, and no they aren't particularly good at this point of showing age. There was even a nod to Monty, who died just before this volume released, in that moment he gave his nieces advice. "keep moving forward". Monty would often sign this at conventions, etc, along with his elaborate sun and birds signature. Finally, you seemed to seek credence about your prediction of Oz's inspiration. Yes, he's the wizard. Now, there were a LOT of characters in OZ weren't there? Maybe there are more of them in the show. In fact, you might want to give more thought about the other's inspirations. Some are fairy tales, Disney movies, historical figures, and those of legends and mythology. It might be fun for you to figure them out. I was so glad to receive four chapters from you this week. You are about to get into the 'meaty parts" of this volume. You might want to consider a binge for the sake of your own anxiety. Celly

Back in volume 1, rwby ssid that qrow was her teacher at signal academy and helped her with making a weapon. In the first opening , it starts with ruby at her moms grave and a woman in a white cloak standing behind it. Negative emotion in general attracts the grim. Also the edits are hilarious!!

Lovedddd the reaction, and I know people are talking about other volumes, but personally, season 3 is really good, I think if you can get past 4 and 5 without wanting to drop the show, the rest of the seasons get progressively better imo.

Absolutely agree!! It seems to me like most people who don't like volume 4 and 5 just can't sit through the slower thinky components, which are super essential to storytelling and especially given the context of everyone's character arcs! Not everything can be flashy fun fighting all the time. The later volumes are where the overarching story and character development really gets to shine.

Exactly! We can't expect a show to progress and the characters not have growth! If we have 9 volumes of the same thing every time, yeah it might be fun but it wouldn't be the mind blowing show I've come to know and love. People grow, people change. This show does an excellent job of highlighting that change and growth. Because a good show should grow with its characters.

WishingEel

Good call on Ozpin! If you guessed him and Glynda, you might be able to figure out Qrow, Ironwood, and the other two headmasters when you eventually meet them.

Me every time I rewatch vol 3 chapter 6: Hey who brought the corn starch? Cuz this plot is thickening!!! (I'll see myself out)

I also think they are flirting and I think you were right from the beginning. There has to be some history there.

JAMES D'ALESSANDRO

The fight choreography drops because of Monty's passing, but the show gets better with the plot and at some points makes you scratch your head, but this show is still amazing. The animation improves each volume as well.

Fun fact - every character has a symbol (as you probably noticed) - back in Vol 2 Yang drew Qrow's on the blackboard during her argument with Blake. I absolutely love Qrow's Leitmotif but its interesting that you take it as playful. Wouldn't describe it that way (though of course I am coloured by the fact I hear the lyrics that are missing) When Ironwood removes his scroll from the table you can see the same symbol Cinder has on her tablet flash. Then she mentions a new access point showing a scroll and Ironwood's face. Regarding "she" - the last scene of Volume 1 is Ozpin receiving a message from Qrow stating "Queen has Pawns" Gotta love how you see a girl with literally the same cape Ruby has but in white and go "IDK who that is" :D I was dying :D So the team Weiss and Yang faced (FNKY - read as Funky) is actually just based on memes. Neon Katt is based on Nyan Cat and Flint Coal is based on the Flint Coal Achievement Hunter meme Not only did they make Mercury lose on purpose - he specifically hit her just enough to take her to the very boundary of her aura so she would get maximum power from her semblance and ensure he goes to 0 so that he can get actual injury - if he just went under the limit his aura would catch it but it broke completely.

Omg I'm so happy you figured out so much stuff already. About the next volumes, I'd say it also depends if a person prefer the fights, or storytelling. Some volumes will have less fights and focus more in world and character building, so the next fights will have even more background and context to them. But not everyone likes it. But most people that hate volume 4 and 5 are people that dropped RWBY many years ago when those volumes were being released yet, and I'd say they missed out big time, because volume 6 to 9 are AWESOME, just like volume 3 is the peak of the first 3 volumes. But I'll give those people some break too, because I can understand it's very different when you can binge all volume 4 and 5, than watching weekly releases, the later can indeed feel slower and that maybe frustrated some people.

Vic Walker

But don't get me wrong. I like volume 4 and 5 too. I like all volumes actually. I just have my favorites of course. And I've seen almost every volume being a favorite for somebody else, so it's a lot about personal taste too.
