This isn't Leaning. It's just Comic Relief, discussed trope.


* ComicRelief: During a flashback, Ruby and Fox discuss who is the ComicRelief for their teams. When Fox tries to make out that Ruby is her team's comic relief, she denies it by pointing out she's the team leader. Fox pointedly mentions Jaune, who is his team's ButtMonkey in the main show. Convinced by Fox's logic, Ruby has a mild breakdown over the idea that she really is her team's comic relief.

RWBY isn't a Cerebus show, it's already been ruled out on the clean-up thread, and a second-year student team failing isn't strange for the setting. Team RWBY failed their first mission, too, which led to a brief Grimm invasion of the city. Reasonable Authority Figure misuse (the trope is for authority figures who trust and believe the heroes even when they realistically shouldn't have a reason to).

* SeriesContinuityError: Team CFVY make reference to their time attending Shade Academy after the Fall of Beacon, and specifically state they've been attending for over a year. However, while the main series ''does'' have a {{timeskip}} following the end of Volume 3 and going into Volume 4, it is very vague on exactly ''how'' much time has actually passed, not helped by the FourLinesAllWaiting in Volume 4 having the plotlines desychronized in terms of time. Numerous details however suggest that InUniverse, a full year ''hasn't'' passed yet, one of the most notable being Volume 5 having the attack on Haven start ''before'' the fall semester, but the Fall of Beacon happening ''during'' the fall before changing to winter.
