*** Bonus points! After RWBY become the Four Maidens Team OSPN will gain control of the four relics. Sun will get the Vacuo Sword of Destruction due in no small part to being [[JourneyToTheWest badass Monkey King.]] Oscar Pine will get the Ax of Creation because he’s the Woodcutter to Ruby’s [[Literature/LittleRedRidingHood Redcap]]. Penny will receive Atlas’ Scepter of Knowledge because of technological advancement, and Neptune will get a shield that functions as a surfboard as what less would Beachboy do with a shield? He uses it to SHIELD him from the water!

* Qrow's eyes are actually naturally red--same with Raven. In general, eye colors we consider unnatural seem to be wholly possible in Remnant, such as Ren's pink eyes.

At the very least, we've seen Qrow's eyes [[TurnsRed turn]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]], but [[spoiler: we know it's not tied to his semblance (which is passive) or the [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting powers]] Ozpin gave him.]] Klein's personalities are, per word of god, actual dissociative identity disorder, meaning that they are not a semblance, so his eye's may not be either. Neo's eyes change color a lot, but it seems unlikely she would waste energy using her semblance on such a tiny detail. Even Yang's eye color seems to be only tangentially connected to her semblance, throughout volume 5 we see her eyes change color without the pyrotechnic display and glowing associated with her semblance, they might just turn red when she's angry. It's entirely possible that changing eye color is just something some people on Remnant can do, like how some people on Earth are double jointed.

[[WMG: The period in which Jinn isn't allowed to answer anymore questions will expire during the series]]
Salem still needs to get to the vault of the Fall Maiden, and was probably planning on returning there after asking Jinn how to get in. She can't ask at the moment, but she can obviously wait. Only it will turn out that Jinn time limit for when she can't answer questions doesn't start after the third question is asked, and the hundred years can be considered to have passed if the questions were asked over the course of a hundred years.

As for how anybody would figure that out, Jinn can be called out with asking a question, and she does also explain if she has a questions left. So she can be called out and explain if she can answer any questions.

[[WMG: The FinalBattle will be [[WhereItAllBegan a return to Beacon]]]]
The next saga will be focused on Vacou. Regardless of who wins, this means the only Relic left will be at Beacon, and Salem will bring the Relics she has in her posession to Beacon to gather all four in one place rather than taking any chances bringing them back to her base and risk them getting stolen along the way.

[[WMG: Each of the Vaults corresponds with the season that follows their own Maiden.]]
So far there have been two vaults shown: Mistral for the Spring Maiden is a desert, while the Atlas vault for the Winter Maiden is a grassy meadow. Spring is followed by summer, and winter followed by spring, which could mean this is the pattern for the other two vaults. If so, the landscape for the Vacuo vault could be an autumnal theme, while the Vale vault could be a cold, winter-esque setting.

[[WMG: The main characters will chew the gods out for what they have done]]
Everyone was mad at Ozpin at first but they have slowly been forgiving him. At some point we will see the gods return and they will state Ozpin failed in his purpose. In response the protagonists will berate the gods for giving Ozpin an impossible task since humans only had a shadow of their former power, allowing the Grimm who were just a nusiance in days of old to grow far stronger and more numerous to the point where humans have been forced to live in constant fear of them. To top it all off, they left Salem around who has spent centuries trying to divide humans to ensure they can never be united.

Think about it. In this [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-feature/2014/12/13-1/feature-making-rwby-an-interview-with-monty-oum interview]], Monty states that his all-time favorite anime is [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gurren Lagann]] and [[Anime/KillLaKIll Kill La Kill]] was hyped as being made by the same people. Monty also has a strong affinity for ActionGirl s and Kill La Kill has no shortage of these. As well, the numerous comparisons of Neapolitan and Nui Harime is because Neo is an Expy. Plus, they were both released around the same time so maybe the show snuck it's way into Monty's head as he was making RWBY. Just some food for thought.

** For bonus points they were inspired to take this route from seeing Salem's actions. Not only would it be a fitting punishment for her, to see the plan that drove Ozma away from her, endorsed by the Gods who cursed her for eternity but she would have to see her once beloved Ozma do so with someone who was chosen and blessed by the gods while she was only condemned.

[[WMG: Ozpin asked the wrong question]]
Ozpin specifically asked Jinn "How do I ''destroy'' Salem?" and Jinn answered, "''You'' can't." There's ''A LOT'' of ways that answer could be interpreted. As we all know, Jinn is based on the [[OurGeniesAreDifferent wish-granting genies]] found in most modern media, and they are infamous for using ExactWords (either by being [[LiteralGenie literal]] or being downright [[JackassGenie jerks]]). Who's to say that what Jinn meant was "You can't destroy her, but there are other ways to stop her." Had Ozpin worded his question slightly different ("How do I stop Salem?" or "How do I defeat Salem?"), things would be ''very'' different. At least one of the heroes will eventually realize this, either by reading an old fairy tale that's about Jinn and her lamp or by figuring out on their own, and use the last question to ask "How do we defeat Salem?"

[[WMG: There will be a huntsman based on ''WebVideo/HowToBasic'']]
The violent, over-the-top destruction he causes in his usual anti-instructional videos is worthy of being used as a combat style. Examples of application include:
* His 'weapon' is a camera drone that carries around all of his stuff; eggs, chickens, oil, frying pans, knives, gasoline, raw sewage, a homeless guy...
* His semblance is the power to increase his arms' speed at the cost of arm strength. This allows him to throw 'hundreds' of eggs in a single second.
* He makes comedic videos humiliating
and use torturing the last question Grimm he kills, then spreads them across the terminals. He's in a rut since the internet is down.
* He's just as unhinged and psychotic when doing the actual cooking so his 'friends' tie him up and try
to ask "How do we defeat Salem?"

[[WMG: The Gods intend for Ruby and Oscar to rule Remnant]]
The two brothers have been watching Remnant since their departure but will not return until the Relics have been brought together. They do want humanity to thrive and continue on but they don't want to openly intervene because it defeats the purpose of what they tasked Ozma with if they just show up and magically wipe away all of the problems that have happened. They are running a LongGame and have somewhat stacked the deck to achieve what they want. The God of Light created the Silver Eyed Warriors to harness a small part of the divine magic he possesses to be used for the sake of humanity. The God of Darkness on the other hand did something both smaller and more drastic. He reincarnated Ozma's body as Oscar's and sent Ozpin's soul on to it's next reincarnation earlier than is normal. Having watched Remnant since they have left means they seen Ozma's triumphs and failings, choosing to create a plan that will see humanity continue on through their judgement. Arranging for Oscar, who has Ozma's reincarnated body and soul, to meet with Ruby with the idea that the two of them will watch over Remnant and guide it forward. They will reveal all of this when they are summoned and offer it as a choice to them, noting that their union will be the beginning of a new age.
** For bonus points they were inspired to take this route from seeing Salem's actions. Not only would it be a fitting punishment for her, to see the plan that drove Ozma away from her, endorsed by the Gods who cursed her for eternity but she would have to see her once beloved Ozma do so with someone who was chosen and blessed by the gods while she was only condemned.

* Phyrra is the most powerful by virtue of being based on the oldest story, while Jaune is the weakest and is based on the most recent story.
** The reason Cinder is able to beat Phyrra despite how powerful she is is because Cinderella, the story Cinder is based on, comes from the tale of a Greek girl in Egypt (the oldest known record of the story) from 7 BC, making her story also ancient (just like Phyrra’s tale, The Illiad).

[[WMG: Grimm aren't what silver eyes respond to.]]
As we learned in Volume Six, the silver eyes [[spoiler: come from the God of Light.]] Maria explains that they should only do anything when in the presence of Grimm, and should only effect them, but Cinder is harmed by them even before she had [[spoiler: her arm replaced with a Grimm one]] as the thing she used to start stealing the Fall Malden's power was clearly summones in some way rather than a part of her. At the same time we learn the source of the silver eyes, or rather, very shortly after, we find that [[spoiler: magic was a gift from the God of Darkness]]. Salem also mentions Thad Cinder's vulnerability is related to her new powers, and aren't Grimm related, therefore the eyes don't react to the Grimm alone, they react to ''anything'' sourced from [[spoiler: the God of Darkness, including magic, which though it was taken from everyone else, Salem and Ozma's reincarnations still have it, and from the original source. This means that Qrow and Raven (entirely aside from her being a maiden) would be adversely affected as well.]]

[[WMG: Salem isn't the one killing off Silver Eyed Warriors]]
Though there are good reasons to assume she's the one behind it - as SEW are the biggest threat against the Grimm - her reaction in the present to knowing about Ruby is to order her ''captured alive''. It does leave the big question being ''who'' wants the Silver Eyed Warriors dead...and if they are still around since it's been decades since the "last" one was taken out.

After all, they NeverFoundTheBody. Not because a Grimm ate it, but because Summer was able to convince everyone, even people who should be on top of things like Ozpin and Salem, that she's dead.

Why would she fake her death and abandon her daughters? She's doing extremely top-secret work behind-the-scenes, work that is morally dubious.

One day, she will come back. And Ruby, Yang, Tai, and Qrow will be ''pissed'' at her for abandoning and misleading them.

After all, they NeverFoundTheBody. Not because a Grimm ate it, but because Summer was able to convince everyone, even people who should be on top of things like Ozpin and Salem, that she's dead.

Why would she fake her death and abandon her daughters? She's doing extremely top-secret work behind-the-scenes, work that is morally dubious.

One day, she will come back. And Ruby, Yang, Tai, and Qrow will be ''pissed'' at her for abandoning and misleading them.

[[WMG: The Maidens are [[spoiler: Ozma and Salem's four daughters]]]]
Kind of shocked no one else has mentioned this. It seems pretty obvious to me. [[spoiler: Ozma and Salem are the only remaining sources of magic in the world. Their four daughters could use it, and even had a four-seasons color scheme. They also received an ability somewhat akin to their father's -- they can pass on their powers to another girl or woman, but not their souls or memories. And since Ozpin is heavily implied to have been the old wizard in "The Four Maidens"...]]
