Takeaways from the Volume 9 Epilogue:

One thing I really like about Oscar’s ‘If there was anything I wish I could borrow from you…’ monologue is that it laid out/confirmed something I’ve always felt was a major aspect of Oscar’s dynamic with Ruby that I nonetheless feel a lot of the fandom has missed: That Oscar very much sees Ruby as a mentor and an example to follow, and how their dynamic is specifically a foil to what we saw between Ruby and Ozpin. That Ruby acts as a mentor and example to Oscar in the same way Ozpin was to Ruby, and that Ruby is a far BETTER mentor and example to Oscar than Ozpin ever was to her. Which, as an aside, is a dynamic I can’t help but feel a lot of people have been misinterpreting as ‘ship-teasing’ and is one of the main reasons I’ve simply never been able to see Oscar as any kind of viable love-interest to Ruby. Frankly the dynamic of ‘Ruby is the mentor and example to Oscar that Ozpin couldn’t be for her’ is simply so much more INTERESTING than any kind of romance could ever hope to be.

Even in animatic form, Winter basically going overdrive on the maiden powers was a sight to behold. And her own monologue had all the self-deprecation we were expecting. Our girl is clearly holding on by a thread and it’s going to be REAL interesting seeing how she reacts and adjusts to her sister not actually being dead. As in, I can imagine a situation where Winter tries to throw herself into a heroic sacrifice with the belief that Weiss would make a better Maiden than her.

Also, Winter’s monologue giving major focus to how Penny is super-super-dead-dead-and-definitely-not-coming-back-for-really-realsies, as she is talking to the sister who she ALSO believes is DEFINITELY also dead? Specifically with the words that Penny is gone, when Penny’s last words to her were that she’d be ‘part of you’?

Yeah, there is no way in hell we’ve seen the last of Penny XD

The CROWN. Like it was only a few shots, but as someone who read the CFVY Books (which you totally should if you haven’t, they’re great), holy shit I was NOT expecting them to pop up here.

I mean, in hindsight it makes perfect sense that they’d be involved in Volume 10. They’re basically Vacuo’s equivalent to Vale’s criminal element and the White Fang splinter faction as Salem’s co-opted insurgency group, with Jax and Gillian joining Roman, Adam and Jacques as the latest of Salem’s unwitting patsies. It’s definitely going to be real interesting seeing the crew deal with them. Like it’s really fun to imagine Team RWBY in particular being kind of exasperated at seeing Jax’s probably doing a whole ‘With Salem’s help I shall be King!’ shtick after everything they’ve seen with Roman, Adam and Jacques.

Oh and if you don’t know, Jax has a mind-control semblance, so him trying to use that on Yang could actually lead to a sneaky callback to the Justice League crossover, ie; Yang doing a ‘Yeah, I’m not doing THAT shit again.’ XD

Qrow’s whole vibe through this is fascinating. Like his section may have been the one we already saw, but after seeing the abject depression and growing despair of all the other characters, Qrow actually being OPTIMISTIC hit so much harder.

Raven showing up at the end is… interesting.

I’ll admit that ever since we saw that specific clip a few months back, I’ve been rather conflicts about Raven showing up to deliver RWBY+J to Vacuo, particularly after Ruby’s tree vision. Like for one it felt a bit random and unnecessary. The tree already deposited the Ever After team outside of Vacuo so they didn’t exactly need help getting there. Not to mention that it kind of clotheslines the story-thread set up by Ruby’s vision; that she now has a reason to track Raven down to get the ANSWERS to what happened to Summer. Finally, it’s just kind of… random? Like where did Raven even come from to get the team?

But now having seen the clip with its intended context, I’m definitely more on board with it. Particularly hearing from Kerry and Eddy that the original ending for the penultimate episode had RWBY+J going through the portal to arrive at their memorial stone, and met by a ‘Mysterious Figure’, ie; Raven. Here it feels like were getting more set up to get answers later as to what Raven was doing at the memorial.

And really, now that I’ve thought about it more, this method kind of puts the thread of Ruby going to Raven for answers even MORE into focus. Like the story reintroduces Raven in the present right after Ruby got a vision basically saying ‘hey, Raven is important’. And now going into Volume 10, we’re pretty much perfectly positioned for Ruby to pull Raven aside for those all-important ‘Why were you fucking my mom? What happened to my mom?’ questions.

Finally… yeah that ending hit me a LOT harder than I was expecting. Like that ending was HOPE in its purest form and it was honestly beautiful to see. Particularly right now with the future of the show seeming so uncertain. I’ve personally been optimistic about RWBY’s future (in a manner not unlike Qrow’s vibes I suppose lol), but damn the hopefulness of that ending hit especially hard, and was something I’ll admit I needed. And I imagine the rest of us could use as well.

We'll be getting Volume 10. And 11, and 12, and however many more it takes to finish this story. At this point, I have no doubt of that.

we have tyrian, whose semblance allows him to bypass aura.

we have gillian, whose semblance allows her to take aura from one person and transfer it to someone else, to the extent that those boosted by her become near invincible.

(would it be enough to block tyrian's semblance completely?)

we have mercury, whose semblance was stolen by his father.

we have jax, who's father believed he didn't have a semblance due to his weak aura, except he does have one, the ability of mind control, unlocked after gillian started giving him aura with her semblance.

mercury is obviously not having a good time with tyrian, but what i found interesting in the epilogue is that he's more "with" the asturias twins than with tyrian—him and gillian walk past the bodies tyrian has already killed; at least at this point, they were not partaing in dealing with the guards—, and that gillian's look towards tyrian is also kind of... apprehensive.

it would not surprise me at all if mercury did find some camaraderie with jax and gillian; especially when jax's thoughts in 'before the dawn' were very direct about the fact that part of the reason he wanted to oust theodore and take over was to prepare vacuo against those who had attacked the other kingdoms, and... well....

ya know. do they know, at this point of time, who sprang them free? would there be any actual trust between them, if they did, if they were guaranteed vacuo would be spared for their cooperation?

how long would their goals align?

(Indomitable) Summer VS

Summer Rose as Omni-Man

--------------------------------------------------------

Summer: I'll set the example for Ruby you never could.

Summer: You wouldn't dare!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: You failed to conquer Remnant, didn't you?

Summer: The situation is under control. Stick to your own timeline!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Neopolitan? Is that you?

Summer: No, this is a little more fucked up than that.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: What is an alternate me doing here?

Summer: Does the name "Dr. Merlot" mean anything to you?

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: You should have tossed away Taiyan years ago.

Summer: Think I've gone soft? Shut the fuck up and hit me!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Your persistence reminds me of my husband.

Jaune: Does he also hate your fucking guts?

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: You wanna save Remnant lives? Surrender.

Jaune: And live forever as your slaves?!

-------------------------------------------------------

Jaune: What right do you have to conquer Remnant?

Summer: More right than you whining teenagers.

-------------------------------------------------------

Jaune: My friends will never give you the Relics!

Summer: I'll crush you, your friends, and those Relics.

-------------------------------------------------------

Jax: You stand before Vacuo's king!

Summer: Am I supposed to be impressed?

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Think about it! You can save your kingdom!

Jax: I'd rather throw myself to the Grimm than bend a knee!

-------------------------------------------------------

Jax: Vacuo is the strongest of the kingdoms!

Summer: Good. Then crushing you will set an example.

-------------------------------------------------------

Fox: You ever get tired of ending fights with one punch?

Summer: Who knows? Maybe I'll switch things up this time.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Even with sight, you'd never see me coming.

Fox: So what? I can still hear you breathing.

-------------------------------------------------------

Fox: Are you from Sun's new superhero movie?

Summer: I'm here to save you all from yourselves.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: I really doubt a blind man can kill me.

Fox: ADA and I are more than meets the eye.

-------------------------------------------------------

Adam: (Sniffs) You smell like old blood and dark wars.

Summer: That should make you very afraid of me.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: With Silver-Eyed medicine, we can heal your eye.

Adam: And what strings are attached to that offer?

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: I've fought someone immortal before.

Salem: Then you know that I always come back.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: If I call the Brothers, I can make a better world.

Salem: Your arrogance is as unbound as your strength.

-------------------------------------------------------

Salem: Your world is unlike any I've seen.

Summer: If you think you know me, trust me, you don't.

-------------------------------------------------------

Salem: Silver-Eyed Warriors will destroy this world!

Summer: You can't perfect something without breaking it first.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Jax can live so long as he's useful.

Gillian: You will not harm him while I still breathe.

-------------------------------------------------------

Gillian: Outsiders like you think they can take whatever they want!

Summer: I can, I will, and none of you can stop me.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: What's the point of protecting a diseased freak?

Gillian: Love; something you know nothing about!

-------------------------------------------------------

Gillian: I am not afraid to die for Vacuo!

Summer: Are you sure about that? Your heart just skipped a beat.

-------------------------------------------------------

Cinder: I've studied you. You have weaknesses.

Summer: You won't live long enough to exploit them.

-------------------------------------------------------

Cinder: We could form an alliance.

Summer: A one woman army NEEDS no allies.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: I'm not dumb enough to trust a liar.

Cinder: Oh, but it takes one to know one, doesn't it?

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Schemers like you rot the core of civilization.

Cinder: I see there's no winning you over. Pity.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ironwood: Strength strengthens strength. We're equally matched.

Summer: The feeling is decidedly NOT mutual.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ironwood: Killing you will make me a hero!

Summer: And yet when I kill you, no one will remember.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: You might be valuable... as a training dummy.

Ironwood: I will teach you respect.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Maybe I'll keep you and your son as my pets.

Jacques: Pets?! For that, you... will die!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Declare me the Queen of Atlas and I'll spare your children.

Jacques: My children's lives are not yours to leverage.

-------------------------------------------------------

Jacques: There's more empathy in you than you show.

Summer: Allow me to reset your expectations.

-------------------------------------------------------

Jacques: Atlas and the SDC has stood for generations!

Summer: You're overdue for a regime change.

-------------------------------------------------------

Harriet: You'll pay for insulting the general!

Summer: Why serve a man who needs YOU to fight his battles?

-------------------------------------------------------

Harriet: I'm proud to serve General Ironwood!

Summer: Duty. Honor. I almost respect you.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Tell General Ironwood "Atlas is mine."

Harriet: He'd prefer I bring him your body

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Face it. You're a better lapdog than you are a soldier.

Harriet: Oh, I'm a dog? Then see how I bite!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Just drop a clone and run. Call it a night.

Blake: I won't run away. Ever again!

-------------------------------------------------------

Blake: I left the White Fang for justice!

Summer: Justice?! How stupidly self-righteous of you!

-------------------------------------------------------

Blake: The White Fang won't let you pass!

Summer: Easy, girl. I go where I want.

-------------------------------------------------------

Sienna: I won't trade one set of shackles for another!

Summer: How about trading shackles for a coffin?

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Ever fought a Silver-Eyed Warrior before?

Sienna: Have you ever fought a High Leader of the White Fang?

-------------------------------------------------------

Banesaw: (White Fang Lieutenant) The White Fang will conquer Remnant!

Summer: Consider me your established competition.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Nothing can cut me. Not even a chainsaw.

Banesaw: Everyone has a weakness! I will find yours!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: I'll chop you up so bad, people will think you chopped yourself up with your chainsaw!

Banesaw: A colorful threat you won't live to fulfill!

-------------------------------------------------------

Banesaw: All things freeze. Even you.

Summer: I've trained in absolute zero. Try me.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ghira: Your people slaughtered mine centuries ago.

Summer: Decimation is good for the gene-pool.

-------------------------------------------------------

Robyn: Obeying Calavera makes you a servant.

Summer: And I serve proudly as a daughter of Silver-Eyes.

-------------------------------------------------------

Robyn: I bow to no one, Summer Rose.

Summer: Then I'll cut your legs off at the knees.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Devote yourself to me, Winter.

Winter: I won't serve anyone who would harm Remnant.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Think, Winter! What good would your death accomplish?!

Winter: Inspiring future generations to oppose you.

-------------------------------------------------------

Winter: Maybe you should look for peace inside yourself?

Summer: Peace isn't sought. It's enforced.

-------------------------------------------------------

Winter: You should know, with great power comes-

Summer: Stop! Save your platitudes for someone who cares!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: I don't buy your "honesty" and "good of humanity" act.

Ozpin: Not everyone is as deceitful as you.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ozpin: You have destroyed worlds. I have created timeslines.

Summer: Finally... A worthy challenge.

-------------------------------------------------------

Ozpin: By the Brothers... What ARE you?

Summer: I'm something of a god myself.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Why would anyone give up power?

Ozpin: To ensure that the future is fair and free!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: They don't make movies about heroes like me.

Yang: Uh, yeah, because you're the villain, dude!

-------------------------------------------------------

Yang: You look like the mom I never had.

Summer: You'll break. Unlike you, MY daughter... is Indomitable.

-------------------------------------------------------

Yang: You know, I think you might have some anger management issues.

Summer: Get out of my way before I demolish you.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: You're not a real huntress. You're an actress!

Yang: You wanna see real? I'll show you real!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: You want to be remembered? Write a book.

Pyrrha: Good idea. I'll tell everyone how I defeated you.

-------------------------------------------------------

Pyrrha: Professor Goodwitch says everyone has a weakness.

Summer: Then she's never met a Silver-Eyed Warrior.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: The "good one". You won't look so good soon.

Pyrrha: From a woman in a cape? I hardly think so.

-------------------------------------------------------

Pyrrha: Are you looking for a fight? Because here I am.

Summer: Okay, Pyrrha Nikos. Test your might.

-------------------------------------------------------

Raven: Absolute power has corrupted you.

Summer: Power doesn't corrupt. It enables.

-------------------------------------------------------

Raven: Fighting me empty-handed is a mistake.

Summer: Bring your whole armory. It won't save you.

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: Go ahead. Arrest me, if you can.

Nora: If I can't, then I'll die trying!

-------------------------------------------------------

Summer: You answer to a higher authority now.

Nora: The only authority I respect is Jaune's!

-------------------------------------------------------

Nora: What would world-conquering lunatic like you know about justice?

Summer: Enough to teach you a master's class.

-------------------------------------------------------

Nora: Team JNPR won't respect your authority.

Summer: They will, after I make an example out of you.

Top Semblances in RWBY

I've never seen anyone talking much about the Semblances, I have gone to see the profiles of some RWBY characters on the website: rwby.fandom.com/wiki/Semblance

Some semblances are real shit, like in My Hero Academia where there is an extremely strong Quirk and others that are completely useless.

This list will not be from strongest to weakest or best to worst, I'm going to make a numbered list.

1 - Aura Amp, user Jaune Arc, in RWBY, the person who has the most aura reserves can be considered a GOD! Jaune has the best Semblance in terms of aura, which allows him to improve not only his own Aura, but also the Auras of other people. Not only this, but Jaune is able to restore a person's aura completely, If the person's aura has been broken.

Your Semblance will improve the Shield, Healing, Physical abilities, and Semblances of others, If the topic is aura, then Jaune has the best semblance for it.

I have already criticized this semblance because I thought it was very bad, but after studying the aura a bit, I saw that this is the best semblance. It is related to the aura.

2 - Tranquility, user Lie Ren, At various times, Ren's Appearance has proven very useful, against Grimms Grimms, it's a wonder he can go through multiple Grimms as if he just didn't exist. If Ren were to be an assassin, he would probably be the best one, the evolution of his Semblance is not very good for him, but if he were to become manipulative, it would be perfect.

3 - Polarity, user Pyrrha Nikos, It allowed Pyrrha to control the magnetism of metallic objects. Do I need to explain?

In the world of RWBY Gun-weapon where the vast majority are made purely of metal, Pyrrha's semblance is a wonder.

4 - Overactive Imagination, user Neopolitan/Trivia Vanille. Neo proved to be extremely adept at using her appearance. She used it on several occasions,

After the evolution of your semblance in Ever Alter (which may or may not have affected your Semblance ) your illusions that could not be touched before now become real.

Becoming capable of creating numerous tangible clones of herself or others and even replicate the abilities and weapons of those she copy. She can also grant her clones the ability to speak with the voices of the original. If her illusions could use people's semblance it would be greatly broken.

5 - Numbing Agent, user Hazel Rainart, allowed him to be completely insensitive to pain. I don't need to say anything else, for a Berserker this semblance is heaven on earth.

6 - Aura Disruption, user Tyrian Callows, so aura for Tyrain is even something that nothing, he completely ignores the aura, at least if the person is wearing armor, some other protection other than an aura, it is death.

7 - Photographic Memory, user Velvet Scarlatina, The name is self-explanatory, It allows her to mimic people's moves, including their fighting style.

8 - Beast Mode, user Fenix Nemean, ( Fenix Nemean is a character that appears in RWBY: The Grimm Campaign ) it allows him to transform himself into a beast like state that enhances his abilities.

Beast Mode allows Fenix to enter a berserker rage, increasing his physical capabilities. This can be triggered at will, but will also be triggered automatically if Fenix is afraid or extremely angry. However, he can be forced out of it if he becomes charmed, incapacitated, stunned, or unconscious. When he enters Beast Mode, it becomes harder for him to maintain his humanity.

Fenix's transformation has been described as visually similar to Hazel's transformation from injecting Dust crystals into his body, achieving greater musculature temporarily while giving into his primal instincts

9 - Telekinesis, user Glynda Goodwitch, this woman used her semblance in basically all of her appearances during volumes 1 to 3.

Then she became an unforgettable character.

10 - Invisibility Field, user May Marigold, It allows her to create a movable field of invisibility that makes things inside unseen.

11 - Pocket Dimensions, user Fiona Thyme, It allows her to absorb and hold objects inside of a personal pocket dimension.

Her Semblance seemingly allows her to absorb and store matter into herself through the palm of her hand. The exact upper limits to how much she can absorb are unknown, though Fiona has displayed the capacity to absorb an entire cargo truck complete with its cargo. One limitation appears to be that she must physically touch the object that she is absorbing. Fiona is able to then release said stored matter in whole.

12 - Mind Control, user Jax Asturias, It allows him to control the minds of others.

Mind Control allows Jax to dominate the wills of others he makes physical contact with. This is typically achieved by telepathically influencing their minds in the form of pushing a subconscious suggestion to them.

Jax is able to use his Semblance on multiple people at a time, with its effects lasting for extended periods of time, lasting from weeks to even months. When used on others, their Auras take on a nearly identical appearance to his own.

This list was made based on my personal opinion, you can research the Semblances and make your own list but be minimally coherent.

For example, Nora's Semblance is good, but that's the problem. She can't handle large amounts of electricity, she still feels pain, and as shown in volume 8 when you can see the large amount of electricity she fell unconscious.

Adam and Yang, Both have Semblances similar, the difference is Adam needs to use weapons and Yang needs to take damage, as soon as Adam loses his weapons it's over for him his semblance is useless.

Yang has a higher risk because in addition to taking damage, she runs the risk of having her aura broken. That is why your semblance is a double-edged knife.

I must remember that all semblances feed on the aura.
