History YMMV / RWBYChibi

** The fact Qrow say he "has dated worse" than her means only one thing for the fandom: He dated Salem

* EvilIsSexy: Acknowledged by Cinder's first transition, which has her blowing a kiss to the audience.

** [[http://youtu.be/rXy4S5xoaIg Screaming Pyrrha]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] In Episode 8, Nora accidentally startled Pyrrha into throwing an entire kitchen of pots, pans, and appliances at her. Pyrrha's ''extremely'' shocked expression was instantly made into a meme. [[/labelnote]]
*** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scHMIehAODo Screaming Nora]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]] In season 2's debut, Nora started crying when Pyrrha accidentally squashed a pair of cow toys with her shield. The fandom quickly seized on this and gave Nora the same treatment as Pyrrha last season. [[/labelnote]]

* CrackPairing: When Ruby and Yang find out about Taiyang's dating profile, they change his entry to make him more appealing to women. They succeed, although not the way they intended. [[spoiler:Taiyang matches up with Cinder, leading to the fandom naming this ship "Tinder".]]

** In Mortal Frenemies, Ozpin remarks "Flirting was a lot less destructive in my day". Then Volume 6 of the main show comes out and reveals that's because it wasn't the flirting that was Ozpin's problem, it was the break-up...
*** In the exact same scene, Winter (an Atlesian), recomends "A leash and random electric shocks to modify [Qrow's] behavior." Volume 8 would reveal Cinder Fall's [[FreudianExcuse backstory]] as a de-facto slave to Atlas elites who was [[ElectricTorture punished with a shock collar for disobedience.]]

* BetterThanCanon: Chibi Cinder has received a better reception than the [[BaseBreakingCharacter more controversial]] canon Cinder.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

* NoYay: Several interactions between fan-favourite ships in season 2 get really creepy, like Ruby hypnotizing Weiss into spending time with her, or Nora drowning Ren in a love potion and attempting to break his leg by playing nurse.

** In Episode 2, Coco finds Velvet feeling blue and is unable to cheer her up. Which stuck hard with the audience, knowing what it is like to try and cheer up someone but being unable to despite trying as hard as they can.

* TearJerker: Nora insisting that nothing bad ever happened when Ruby tries to point out that Pyrrha died. A lot of fans who were devastated by Pyrrha's death and refused to believe she truly died can relate with Nora's denial. The ending lyrics right after that just made it even more poignant.

** Thanks to ScheduleSlip, one occurred retroactively. In the first episode of ''Neon Konbini'', Qrow mentions that Weiss would jump off a bridge if Winter told her to, to which Winter smugly says "I have, and she did". By the time the episode aired three years later, it was right after the Volume 8 finale, [[spoiler:where Weiss plummets to her ([[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated supposed]]) death off a bridge while Winter tries and fails to save her.]]

* CrazyAwesome: Nora. She's been amped up to completely bat shit crazy. Her crush on Ren is now to {{yandere}} levels and she's a BigEater able to eat more than her body weight in pancakes.

* TearJerker:
** Nora insisting that nothing bad ever happened when Ruby tries to point out that Pyrrha died. A lot of fans who were devastated by Pyrrha's death and refused to believe she truly died can relate with Nora's denial. The ending lyrics right after that just made it even more poignant.
** While the deadpan tone and presence in PSA for reading books are clearly meant to be comical, Blake's brief monologue in Episode 7 of Season 3 almost perfectly summarizes her internal struggles in the canon show.
--->'''Blake:''' I feel suffocated by the weight of my past mistakes and the hurt I've caused my friends. If only there was a way to atone for what I've done.
** Episode 2 of Neon Konbini focuses on a depressed Velvet. That's basically the episode, Coco finding Velvet feeling blue and is unable to cheer her up.

* EpilepticTrees: Although the show is not canon, some fans still theorize that ''RWBY Chibi'' is some sort of denial by Ruby, [[spoiler:refusing to fully acknowledge that Pyrrha is really gone]].

* BrokenBase: The choice to continue RWBY Chibi under the Neon Konbini Anthology Series divided a number of fans: While some were happy the series was being continued in *some* format, others decry it being used as a cheap draw to the new series, finding the other shorts severely lacking and deriding how Chibi segments are MUCH shorter than previous seasons due to sharing the episode length with other segments, with multiple comments either complaining about the lack of more RWBY Chibi in the segments/badmouthing the non-Chibi segments or just giving timestamps to the Chibi segments.

* TearJerker: Nora insisting that nothing bad ever happened when Ruby tries to point out that Pyrrha died. A lot of fans who were devastated by Pyrrha's death and refused to believe she truly died can relate with Nora's denial. The ending lyrics right after that just made it even more poignant.

** Good ol' Mike and Marty! Yeah, talking Grimm are really funny! Unless they're the Hound, especially when you [[WasOnceAMan find out WHY]] [[FateWorseThanDeath it can talk]]...

* TearJerker:
** Nora insisting that nothing bad ever happened when Ruby tries to point out that [[spoiler: Pyrrha died. A lot of fans who were devastated by Pyrrha's death and refused to believe she truly died can relate with Nora's denial. The ending lyrics right after that just made it even more poignant.]]
** Seeing Ruby, Yang, and Blake being asked by loved ones to spend the day together, Weiss happily waits for her turn. The scene goes on for a long time in silence showing Weiss alone until she deflates upon realizing no one was coming for her. [[spoiler:Thankfully the fashionably late arrival of Winter amended this]].
** A FreezeFrameBonus in Episode 2 of Season 3 shows that while Taiyang repeated emphasizes the word "cool": One of his only two requirements for a date is that [[CartwrightCurse they don't leave him. Again.]] Even in Chibi, the poor guy can't catch a break.
** While the deadpan tone and [[MoodWhiplash presence in PSA for reading books]] are clearly meant to be comical, Blake's brief monologue in Episode 7 of Season 3 almost perfectly summarizes her internal struggles in the canon show.
--->'''Blake:''' I feel suffocated by the weight of my past mistakes and the hurt I've caused my friends. If only there was a way to atone for what I've done.
** In the same episode, the second skit focuses on a mysterious BigRedButton that does random things when pushed, like giving Blake a large fish, turn off the sun, and drop several large objects on Cinder. When Ren and Jaune push it, the button makes clones of them. While the Rens get along instantly, Clone Jaune rejects regular Jaune, similar to a break-up.
--->'''Clone Jaune:''' It's not you, it's me.\\
'''Jaune:''' ''(with puppy dog eyes as sad music plays)'' But, you ''is'' me.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: An interesting cross-series example in regard to two characters: [[DarkActionGirl Cinder Fall]] and [[TheBully Cardin Winchester]]. In the main RWBY series, both are meant to be taken seriously as antagonists (despite Cardin just being a bully and not a major villain), but many fans simply found them to be annoying for their EvilIsPetty type of behavior, and not in a “love to hate” type of way either. Even worse, unlike most other antagonists, they didn’t have any sympathetic moments or BackStory explanation for their behavior either (although Cinder has finally received the latter in recent seasons). However, in this series their unsympathetic, EvilIsPetty type of personalities fit perfectly and make them two of the funniest characters in the whole cast. Especially because their [[PokeThePoodle attempts at evil]] often end up backfiring and causing goofy self-inflicted ButtMonkey moments for them instead. In a nutshell, their sociopathic behavior made them TheScrappy when PlayedForDrama, but when PlayedForLaughs in this series, it actually makes them two truly hilarious characters.

** "Where's Coco?" [[labelnote:Explanation]] Season 3 made a point of advertising that Coco would be joining the Chibi cast, complete with animating an intro for her. However soon after this announcement, Season 3 abruptly ended eight episodes before expected, leaving Coco fans in the dark. [[/labelnote]]

** Good ol' [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Mike and Marty!]] Yeah, talking Grimm are really funny! Unless they're the Hound, especially when you [[WasOnceAMan find out WHY]] [[FateWorseThanDeath it can talk]]...
