History Awesome / WeissReacts

** The above Sue incident? It was a CurbStompBattle. Blake [[SpinToDeflectStuff casually deflects]] a hail of bullets before quoting [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex Touma]] AND Kamina, before using the above mentioned Giga Drill Break.

** Weiss and Ruby absolutely nailing [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya God Knows]] without even having practiced it once after they lost the sheet music for [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Magia]] due to [[JerkAss Dove]].

** Velvet versus Norn: In order: Velvet and Norn have a high speed clash of weapons, before Norn [[WingPull reveals her wings]], has another clash with Velvet, before divebombing her, [[SuicideAttack heavily damaging her servos in the process]]. Velvet [[TheWorfBarrage survives]], whips out ''[[RealityWarper Unlimited Yandere]] [[CallBack Works]]'', and [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown nearly beats Norn back]], only for a [[ICanStillFight heavily damaged]] Norn to pull it out with a [[MillionToOneChance lucky axe throw]], and only [[HeroicRROD collapsing]] after she's sure Velvet is knocked out. She even gets a victory in a ''meta fashion''- going by the reviews, Norn ended up being more of an EnsembleDarkhorse than Velvet ever was. ''That was how badass Norn was.''

--> '''Blake''' : [[BadassBoast WHO.....THE HELL....DO YOU THINK I AM?!]]
--> Later...
--> '''Blake''': [[PreAssKickingOneLiner I'm going to have to destroy this screwed illusion of yours!]]

** When the above doesn't work, she pulls out her rank of Hunter-General, which is implied to be ''very'' [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority high]].

* [[Manga/FruitsBasket Tohru Honda]] has joined the fray. Specifically, by [[ArmorPiercingSlap slapping Dove]] for [[FantasticRacism bullying a Faunus]].

* Velvet thrashing the SelfInsert in 'Weiss Reacts to Self-Inserts' counts. Why? ''The insert had [[WaveMotionSword Ea]], [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Gilgamesh's]] [[RealityWarper sword]]'' and still lost to a girl with a massive, albeit mundane, [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] [[AnAxeToGrind axe]].

* In 'Weiss Reacts to Wiki/TVTropes', Velvet [[EveryoneHasStandards refuses to kill her friends to get at Weiss]], even when [[Manga/FutureDiary Yuno]], ''the goddess of [[{{Yandere}} Yanderes]] herself'', told her it was possibly the only way she'd ever have Weiss to herself. Doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} - as much as Velvet loves Weiss, she also loves [[TrueCompanions her friends]].

** Lukas absolutely stomping the Sue with his [[MasterOfIllusion Semblance]] and his [[KnifeNut gunblades]]. He then manages to hit the Sue so fast, using his agility and Semblance that ''[[SuperSpeed he seems like he's teleporting.]]''

** Created a [[Anime/{{Chobits}} Persocom]] that also happens to be a NinjaMaid.

* A ''huge'' one for Ozpin is seen in the TheStinger for the Volume 3 Reaction. [[spoiler: It reveals that he and ''every other adult character mentioned thus far'' AND ''the Antic Order'' have actually been working behind the scenes to [[ScrewDestiny prevent the events of canon from happening]]. Roman and Cinder actually watched the series to ensure that this plan went off without a single hitch, ''which it did''.]]

** Ruby gets one really significant one. [[spoiler: She uses her silver eyes to [[FantasticNuke nuke]] the Grimm when she thinks Weiss has been killed at their hands. The explosion inadvertently saves Pyrrha when she uses the distraction to attack the poachers first and Winter when the Grimm run away from the explosion.]]
** [[spoiler: Jaune's BigDamnHeroes moment, tanking the [[BeyondTheImpossible tanking the armor-piercing hit with his shield]] and then beating the stuffing out of the poacher attempting to kill Pyrrha. Coupled with a SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} due to his AnguishedDeclarationOfLove and then him more or less ''throwing down the gauntlet against destiny itself'' by challenging it to GoThroughMe.]]
** [[spoiler: Shortly after, Jaune and Pyrrha's first fight as a BattleCouple, pretty much countering every hit from the poachers for each other and ending up with a dual FinishingMove from both of them.]]

* Meta example: Volume 1 has inspired several fanfics about itself and has even surpassed the fic that inspired it in popularity, to the point of achieving the WeirdAlEffect. It is also the ''most reviewed fic in the RWBY archive.'' Not bad for an author who started out, by their own admission, writing crappy Music/{{Rammstein}} songfics.
** Likewise, many of the authors the fanfic features give their ApprovalOfGod to the reactions of the Reacts cast to their fanfics. Some authors have even given Elf permission to review more of their work in Weiss Reacts because of how much they enjoyed the chapter.
** Somewhat less seriously, the fact that he tackles DarkFic and TrollFic with equal gusto as lighter or more serious fare.

** Making ''[[CrazyAwesome Nora]]'' scared of her with a DeathGlare.

** Blake channels [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]] and Music/RonnieJamesDio to help her play [[Music/BlindGuardian Mirror, Mirror]] with [[Fanfic/ThirtyHs Fuckslayer]] using a Core Drill as a pick. While in a BadassCape and TriangleShades. All to [[ItMakesSenseInContext make Yang dress like Nia and buy her sandwiches.]] If Blake wasn't considered CrazyAwesome in the eyes of the readers, she is now.

** [[BigBrotherInstinct Yu]] [[CurbStompBattle absolutely smashing]] [[ThoseTwoBadGuys Dove and Russell]]. Bonus points for using [[ShockAndAwe Izanagi]][[NoKillLikeOverkill -no-Okami]].

* [[Anime/FruitsBasket Tohru]] has joined the fray. Specifically, by [[ArmorPiercingSlap slapping Dove]] for [[FantasticRacism bullying a Faunus]].

** OutGambitted [[TricksterArchetype Yang]], the Queen of Antics herself.

** ''The BigDamnKiss.'' After seventy-two chapters of UnresolvedSexualTension, Weiss and Ruby FINALLY [[OfficialCouple get together]].

-->''For a moment, as Blake studied Ozpin's expression, she was reminded not of a kindly, [[EccentricMentor eccentric mentor]], but of a [[BadassGrandpa far older, ancient warrior]], his [[{{Determinator}} will to fight]] tempered by years upon years of endless battles, unintimidated by anything that would attempt to make him feel fear. This was not Ozpin the [[BadassTeacher headmaster of Beacon]], this was Ozpin, the [[FamedInStory Huntsman of old]], feared throughout the Four Kingdoms and even amongst the [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Magus Association]], the fighter of battles known and unknown, whose name was still whispered in hushed whispers though he had [[RetiredBadass exchanged his battle armor for the robes of a scholar]].''

** His RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Dove when he writes a hurtful darkfic about Weiss. This appearance [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold pretty much]] [[GentleGiant sets Cardin's]] characterisation in the Reactsverse. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.
** 'A Blackbird in Flight' is his journey for [[TheAtoner atonement]] after the events of canon. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

* In 'Weiss Reacts to Wiki/TVTropes', Velvet [[EveryoneHasStandards refuses to kill her friends to get at Weiss]], even when [[Manga/FutureDiary Yuno]], ''the goddess of [[{{Yandere}} Yanderes]] herself'', told her it was possibly the only way she'd ever have Weiss to herself. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming- as much as Velvet loves Weiss, she also loves [[TrueCompanions her friends]].

** Freya Schnee, her mother and an IdolSinger, finally seeing her daughter again after four years. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming.

** Nanako herself gets one for verbally owning Yang. By calling her weird. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

** AND THEN Weiss pulls off the same trick Yang used to beat her fifty chapters ago to beat Glynda; using an adorable animal to distract them. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.

** [[spoiler: Jaune's BigDamnHeroes moment, tanking the [[BeyondTheImpossible tanking the armor-piercing hit with his shield]] and then beating the stuffing out of the poacher attempting to kill Pyrrha. Coupled with a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming due to his AnguishedDeclarationOfLove and then him more or less ''throwing down the gauntlet against destiny itself'' by challenging it to GoThroughMe.]]

** The above Sue incident? It was a CurbStompBattle. Blake [[SpinToDeflectStuff casually deflects]] a hail of bullets from her CopycatSue before quoting [[LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex Touma]] AND Kamina, before using the above mentioned Giga Drill Break.

** Simply put, Cardin is up there with the Reactsverse local badasses. It's to the point that his own teammates are ''[[TheDreaded scared]]'' of him.

-->''For a moment, as Blake studied Ozpin's expression, she was reminded not of a kindly, [[EccentricMentor eccentric mentor]], but of a [[BadassGrandpa far older, ancient warrior]], his [[{{Determinator}} will to fight]] tempered by years upon years of endless battles, unintimidated by anything that would attempt to make him feel fear.

** Siegmund versus Weiss- the fact that [[GlassCannon Weiss]] holds out so long against [[TheDreaded Siegmund]]- who, by the way, ended up being implied to have ''killed'' Ruby's mother and fought off the likes of ''Ozpin, Glynda and Cinder''- is impressive in itself. The fact that she does this while giving him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech can't hurt. Hell, [[HeroKiller Siegmund]] deserves some credit himself, for simply making even ''Ozpin'' tremble at his name.

** She also seems to be one of the only people not afraid of [[TheDreaded Professor Faust]].

* In 'Weiss Reacts to TvTropes', Velvet [[EveryoneHasStandards refuses to kill her friends to get at Weiss]], even when [[Manga/FutureDiary Yuno]], ''the goddess of [[{{Yandere}} Yanderes]] herself'', told her it was possibly the only way she'd ever have Weiss to herself. Doubles as a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming- as much as Velvet loves Weiss, she also loves [[TrueCompanions her friends]].

** Tukson being revealed to be a badass martial arts master with attacks from DragonballZ and StreetFighter and ''owning the Reactsverse version of the Lazengann''. He's confirmed to be an {{expy}} of Lordgenome, [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Kenshiro]], Ryu and [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Udyr]].

* [[BadAss Blake]] in general. In addition to taking notes from [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], here is a list of what Blake pulls off during the course of the Reactsverse:

* Cardin also gets some BadAss moments:

** Simply put, Cardin is up there with the Reactsverse local [[BadAss badasses]]. It's to the point that his own teammates are ''[[TheDreaded scared]]'' of him.

* [[BadAss Pyrrha. Freaking. Nikos.]] Despite being turned into a StalkerWithACrush for Jaune, she is STILL a BadassAdorable capable of, among other things:

* [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos The Slender Man]] saving Weiss and Jaune from being abducted, before revealing his true colors.....as a bonafide {{Badass}} who has no small love for anime.

** Said Finishing Moves: aside from the Giga Drill Break and [[SpamAttack Petal Storm]], Yang's [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Torch]][[MegatonPunch light]] [[EnergyAbsorption Breaker]], and Weiss' [[BladeSpam Omnislash]]. Again, the fact that Siegmund survived all ''four'' of these- when one was used to finish most of the fights- turns him into the dark sort of {{Badass}}.

** Blake channels [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Kamina]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon Kasshu]] and RonnieJamesDio to help her play [[Music/BlindGuardian Mirror, Mirror]] with [[Fanfic/ThirtyHs Fuckslayer]] using a Core Drill as a pick. While in a BadassCape and TriangleShades. All to [[ItMakesSenseInContext make Yang dress like Nia and buy her sandwiches.]] If Blake wasn't considered CrazyAwesome in the eyes of the readers, she is now.

** [[spoiler: Jaune's BigDamnHeroes moment, tanking the [[BeyondTheImpossible tanking the armor-piercing hit with his shield]] and then beating the stuffing out of the poacher attempting to kill Pyrrha. Coupled with a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming due to his AnguishedDeclarationOfLove and then him more or less ''throwing down the gauntlet against destiny itself'' by challenging to GoThroughMe.]]

* [[BadAss Blake]] in general. In addition to taking notes from [[Anime/GurrenLagann Kamina]], here is a list of what Blake pulls off during the course of the Reactsverse:
** Created two HumongousMecha just because she could- the Anime/GurrenLagann and [[Anime/EurekaSeven Nirvash]]. Then, she proceeds to have them fight for the purpose of testing which one is stronger.

** The way by which [[Anime/GurrenLagann Kamina]] achieved reincarnation as Andreas Arc- he ''[[TheCasanova flirted with Death]]''. The reason he did this? [[ItAmusedMe He was bored]].

** The UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny with the Nirvash of Anime/EurekaSeven and the eponymous Anime/GurrenLagann going up against each other. The Gurren Lagann only wins because of its pilots being better and Blake's channeling of Spiral Power.
