[[folder:Post-Jin Arc]]

** Team STQR has been completely shattered. The chapter ends with Raven in an enchanted sleep, Tai devastated, Qrow just barely pushed back from the edge of suicide and Summer resigned to being a monster.

** Weiss starts to realize just what her revenge has cost her. Yang ''blows off one of [[EyeScream Weiss's eyes]]'' and moves in for the kill, having no interest in hearing what she has to say. Yang has clearly come to hate her teammate and Weiss realizes that she was foolish to think she couldn't lose anything else.

** Happy has clearly not had an enjoyable time the past fifty years. The only thing that kept him going was the hope of one day giving Natsu a body of his own.

** Weiss is clearly stunned and crushed upon realizing just how much Yang, her once-beloved friend and teammate, has come to hate her and regrets not paying more attention to Gray's warnings about the cost of revenge.

** Happy is clearly crushed by Summer's death and while he understands why Weiss did it, he feels anger as well and also understands where Yang and Cinder are coming from.

** Ruby clearly desperately wants to help Yang, but she just doesn't know what to do and doesn't understand her sister. She understands Yang's fury but not why she didn't go with them, and also accepts that time ''isn't'' going to help but only make things worse. She tells Blake to try and talk to Yang but if she can't get her to listen then that's that.

** Just bringing up Virgo causes Serams Madness to take over Salem. She is distraught over the death of her beloved maid as much as she is by Summers maybe even more so.

** Happy is clearly crushed by Summer's death and while he understands why Weiss did it he feels anger as well and also understands where Yang and Cinder are coming from.

** Erza is unable to use her arms and legs anymore. Erza one of Fairy Tails strongest and most indomitable members is virtually helpless now. She doubts that she can lead Fairy Tail anymore and has to get a YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre Speech from Ruby.
** Weiss is a mess of self loathing. She fully understands and accepts the consequences of her actions and all the pain she has caused Ruby and Yang and how her selfishness nearly caused her to kill Ruby and drove Yang away. Whats she finds even more disgusting is that it turns out that she actually ''does'' feel some satisfaction at killing Summer. Despite all the pain and the fact that she nearly killed Ruby doing it she still feels satisfaction something which she finds completely revolting and causes her to believe that she is a monster until Ruby corrects her by saying she is only being human.

** Salem reluctantly gives the Gates permission to kill Fairy Tail members if they have too. She has clearly given up on reconciling with her old friends. The gloves are coming off its all out war from this point onward.

** While Salem's faction is technically the victors, as they have forced Fairy Tail to flee and have gotten both Lucy and Wendy, [[PyrrhicVictory none of them feel like celebrating]].

** Salem is in tears this chapter and is being forced to realize that it will be impossible for her side to win without using lethal force. She at one point [[VillainousBSOB asks End if there is any hope and even if they win will there be nothing left]].

** Salem and the Celestial Spirit Kings heart wrenching battle. They both still love each other deeply but that isnt enough to overcome their differences. Salem at one point offers to find a way for him to fully manifest as a Eclipse Etherious so that he could rule the world rather then her. Whats more is that she wants to be a family with him again. While the Celestial Spirit King is tempted he sadly declines the offer and they begin to battle. Its noted that both of them are crying as they do so.
** Just brining up Virgo causes Serams Madness to take over Salem. She is distraught over the death of her beloved maid as much as she is by Summers maybe even more so.
** Mercury is so broken by his father's abuse that he cant accept the idea that anyone could care about him with no ulterior motives and that caring only brings pain.
** Weiss tearfully tells Gray that she made horrible mistake. She has clearly come to regret killing Summer and how it destroyed her friendship with Yang. Revenge didn't bring Weiss any satisfaction or joy only more pain.

** While's Salem's faction are technically the victors as they have forced Fairy Tail to flee and have gotten both Lucy and Wendy none of them feel like celebrating.
** End is heartbroken when he realizes how scared of him Happy truly is and sadly apologizes to him before leaving. End also feels ashamed of his loss of control and accepting just how broken he truly is he decides he needs leave to sort out his issues as he is as much a danger to his own side as to Fairy Tail right now.

** Yang has become so crushed by what has happened that she now believes that the only reason that her family want her back is because they see her as an asset.

** Mercury is so broken by his father's abuse that he cant accept the idea that anyone could care about him with no ulterior motives.

** The only way Fairy Tail has to counter Salem's Eclipse Etherious Form is to summon the [[GodzillaThreshold Celestial Spirit King]] and to do that Lucy has to break [[TrueCompanions Loke's key]]. While Lucy promises to find it again, the odds of that happening are very bad given that no one on Remnant has any way of identifying/knowing a Celestial Spirit Key and would simply assume its a stylized key. They may very well have lost Loke for good this chapter.

** Salem and Ruby make one last attempt at salvaging the negotiations. Unfortunately they cant agree on what is best for the world and ultimately come to blows. What makes this situation so sad is that both Ruby and Salem want to save the world, neither of them hate or even dislike each other in fact they both still despite the situation consider each other to be their friend but their ideology's and world views are just too different.
** This whole arc has been as devastating to Salem as it has been for Fairy Tail. She spends thousands of years desperately dreaming that she could one day reunite with her beloved friends but when it finally happens one of them ends up killing another of her friends and its made clear that aside from Yang none of them want to work with her. Whats more Salem was so happy and delighted when Wendy agreed to join her but in this chapter its revealed that Wendy is manipulating her.

** Carla is guilt stricken upon realizing the full consequences of her manipulating Yang and how she made the same mistake that so many characters in RWBY make, letting fear control their actions.
** Juvia tells Yang she is sorry for her loss but refuses to move out of the way. Yang demands to know how she would react if Weiss killed Gray, Juvia admits that she would probably do the same thing but states that Gray would never hurt Weiss like Summer but Yang counters that she was ok with Summer facing justice for that all she wanted was more time but Weiss ignored her pleas and nearly killed Ruby as well. Weiss can only meekly reply that she didn't mean to attack Ruby and that she thought Summer was going to kill her. Even to her own ears however she finds that response weak.
** Weiss is clearly stunned and crushed upon realizing just how much Yang her once beloved friend and teammate has come to hate her and regrets not paying more attention to Gray's warnings about the cost of revenge.
** Yang has become completely disillusioned with Fairy Tail. She sacrificed so much for them and from her point of view they are all betraying and abandoning her. Not only is she disillusioned with the members but with its ideals of relying on your friends since that kept her from being there to help Summer when she needed her. What makes this all the more heartbreaking is that of all the members of Team RWBY Yang embraced those ideals the most and loved being a part of the guild.
