     Introductory/Reuniting Arc 
  • Ch 1: New World - New Adventure
    • After transporting the Ark, Cubot briefly wonders if they've died and are now in heaven. Orbot points out a) they're still on the Ark, and b) they can't be in heaven since Eggman's there as well.
      Cubot: Oh right. No way he's going to Heaven if he ends up kicking the bucket.
      Eggman: I'm sitting right here, ya know!
    • A lot of Sonic's casual banter with the Ace Ops.
    • After watching the start of Ruby's fight with Roman and his thugs, Sonic greets the thief with his usual snark.
      Sonic: Snazzy little performance, ganging up on a kid like that.
    • Ruby has a brief Oh, Crap! moment when Sonic asks if the cookies Ozpin offered them are laced.
  • Ch 2: Beacon Academy
    • Despite Ruby telling her about Sonic's involvement, Yang doesn't believe her and thinks he's an imaginary friend.
  • Ch 3: Trials of the Emerald Forest
    • When discussing the way things are on Remnant, Tails and Amy briefly wonder who gave the Grimm so many edgy names.
    • Overlaps with heartwarming, but Amy and Nora become friends instantly, and declare themselves 'Hammer Harpies'.
    • Ruby takes great glee in Sonic and his friends being there and rubbing Yang's prior skepticism about her 'imaginary friend' in her face.
  • Ch 4: Badges, Burdens and Bonds
    • After Sonic informs Team Dark that Remnant does not have space travel, Omega is... put out that they cannot take the fight to Eggman.
      Omega: Unacceptable! This planet will develop space travel, even if I must hold their scientists at gunpoint!
    • When introducing Team Dark to RWBY and JNPR, Rouge reveals that she knows their names from their IDs which she swiped without them noticing. She ups the ante on Weiss by stealing her weapon and then her earrings!
  • Ch 5: Dark Jaunedice
    • Omega testing out various types of Dust ammo on several Grimm, enjoying his new destructive capabilities.
      Omega: Eggman's violation of space-time has granted me the means to use more destructive capabilities than before. I will thank him in our next encounter. I will thank him with fire.
    • Rouge unveils a new weapon like the rest of the Sonic gang, causing Weiss to ask if the materials were stolen. After Rouge simply says Ozpin provided the materials she gets back to filing her nails, Weiss takes a moment to realize that's her nail file the bat is using.
    • When the group are encouraging Jaune to stand up to Cardin, Knuckles advises going for the groin, saying that is typically the weakest spot.
    • When dealing with CRDL, rather than fight them, Sonic uses his speed to hang their pants on a lamppost outside, leaving them in their underwear, thus humiliating them in front of everyone in the academy's cafeteria, as the entire cafeteria was erupted into a roar of laughter.
    • When Shadow goes to talk to Ozpin at the end of the chapter, the headmaster asks why he and Sonic insist on entering through the window or teleporting rather than use the door.
  • Ch 6: Black and White and Red All Over
    • Knuckles joins in on teasing Weiss about her trying to spy on the incoming students for the Vytal festival, saying that she should be careful if she doesn't want a reputation for playing dirty.
    • When the girls comment on how weird Penny was, all Sonic has to say is that they've had weirder friends. Tails agrees with him without a second's thought.
    • Team Sonic reveals that they figured out Blake is a Faunus the day they met her, and explains to the incredulous other members of Team RWBY that they thought it was obvious — Sonic notes that most of her meals include fish, specifically mentioning a time she ate tuna right out of a can, and Tails mentions hearing her purr once.
  • Ch 7: Alliances Under the Shattered Moon
    • Whilst Ruby was presenting her idea with a large binder, Weiss recognizes the binder being hers. A confused Ruby mentioned Rouge lent it to her, leading a fuming Weiss to put two and two together.

     Grimn Investigations Arc 
  • Ch 9: We're In This Together
    • As Cinder and her team are settling in their dorms, Mercury remarks about using their real names for their team name.
      Mercury: (to Neo) You know what's kinda funny? If you went by your real name and we had a team name like what those other dorks have, we'd be called Team CEMN. Get it?
      Emerald: Mercury, that is disgusting!
  • Ch 10: Investigations and Discoveries
    • When Sun and Neptune are caught spying on the meetings between Teams Sonic, Dark, RWBY, and JNPR, Omega's first reaction is to try to shoot the "intruders", before he is talked down by everyone.
    • When Weiss tries to swap around assignments in the splitting up to search for Eggman, just so she and Neptune can work together, Shadow snaps that they're not altering plans just because the teens can't control their hormones.
    • When Blake, Sun, Knuckles, and Rouge infiltrate a White Fang meeting at the shipping docks, Blake and Sun are able to easily disguise themselves with the White Fang masks, but Knuckles and Rouge sneak in using a Totem Pole Trench. Rouge was the one who came up with this idea, and when Knuckles asks why he's on the bottom, Rouge reminds him she won at rock-paper-scissors fair and square.
    • At the White Fang meeting, Eggman presents the Atlesian Paladin he and Torchwick stole just to show how his own tech is superior in comparison. The author notes at the end even state Eggman was probably just going to scrap the Paladin for spare parts afterward.
  • Chapter 11: Painting the Town Red and Blue
    • Omega's comical seriousness pops again during a dramatic entrance:
      Nora: Ye-ha!
      Omega: Exclamation of enthusiasm!
    • When Metal Sonic steals Ruby's and Weiss' weapons, Ruby is madder about that than concerned about the threat.
    • After Tails comes up with a strategy to beat the Egg Wyvern by canceling out the Gravity Dust and letting it fly, Ruby asks him to repeat it with smaller words.
    • Sun and Neptune manage to capture a White Fang goon because they were sent flying into his car.
  • Chapter 12: Let's Dance
    • The scene with Jaune singing is even funnier here, mainly because Sonic gets Shadow to open the door instead of Weiss! After Jaune opens his eyes and sees who he serenaded, Shadow blankly takes and breaks his guitar, then closes the door. And of course, Sonic was recording the whole thing!
    • Amy and Pyrrha's heartwarming talk about their respective romantic endeavors ends with Amy offering to go to the dance with the Huntress if she can't find a date... specifying that it'll be as friends because she wants to see Jaune in a dress.
  • Chapter 13: Mountain Glenn
    • In this story we actually get to see how Zwei can use a can opener, and everyone's reactions are hilarious. Tails, in particular, already baffled by everything about the corgi's arrival, notes that they've fought aliens and literal gods, but this just leaves him completely perplexed.
  • Chapter 14: Freight Train Fight
    • When Shadow notices that Ruby brought Zwei, Ruby repeats Ooblecks's words to defend herself, while Shadow just rolls his eyes in annoyance.
    • Doubling as a heartwarming moment, Zwei manages to destroy one of Eggman's robots by curling into a ball like Sonic and Shadow and earns praise from Omega in the process who says he will be a valuable addition against Eggman.
    • When the White Fang Lieutenant emerges in Vale piloting one of Eggman's mechs, Orbot asks if anyone managed to catch his actual name. (Likely a joke about how the White Fang Lieutenant was never given a proper name.)
  • Chapter 15:
    • When Team Dark have Torchwick at their mercy, Omega insults the crook in his usual detached manner.
      Omega: Roman Torchwick. Age thirty-two. An average fighter and lacking a Semblance. Occupation small time criminal...
      Torchwick: Who are you calling 'small time'', tin man?!
      Omega: ...Threat level, minimal.
    • When Weiss says they'd better get extra credit for all this, Rouge points out all the collateral damage the battle caused.
    • When Adam calls Eggman's robots "extravagant", Cubot asks Orbot what it means. When he learns what it is, he sums it up as everything Eggman does.
     Merlot Arc 
  • Chapter 17:
    • Rouge asks Blake if a bird Faunus eating chicken counts as cannibalism. When Blake asks Knuckles how he puts up with her, he just says that you learn to tolerate the company.
  • Chapter 18:
    • Oobleck has Jaune come with him, which Jaune is fully aware is because he sucks at fighting. All Oobleck can say is he wouldn't have used those specific words.
    • When Sonic is talking to Yang about how horrible he was at swordplay when he first started, Yang thinks that he's exaggerating until he says that he was so bad that he made Jaune look like Weiss in comparison. Yang can't even really picture it.
    • When the group splits up, Weiss makes a point of pairing with Tails and staying far away from Rouge.
  • Chapter 19:
    • While Tails, Blake, and Yang are all genuinely horrified by the sight of the mutant Nevermore, Sonic just looks annoyed and snarks that it's the "attack of the mutant Tweety".
  • Chapter 20:
    • The sheer glee Nora has at smashing Merlot's robots.
    • When Weiss expresses disbelief at the Year Outside, Hour Inside nature of the Twilight cage, Yang snarks about how it's not any more far-fetched than Sonic's own existence, which she's forced to concede.
  • Chapter 21:
    • When Rouge calls Merlot an Attention Whore, Merlot actually makes a video-call in before his trap springs just to say that he happens to take pride in his work.
    • When Jaune is calling out for the others, after his teammates he says that he'll "even take Shadow or Rouge at this point".
    • When Tails and Omega link back up, both have... unique ways to say that the other isn't Mimic. Omega did a biological scan of Mimic briefly, so can recognize that Tails doesn't have that biosignature. As for Tails, he promptly says that only Omega could create so much destruction without a care.
  • Chapter 22:
    • Jaune complaining about how Merlot's base is so maze-like, asking why he needs such a huge base for only two people.
  • Chapter 23:
    • When Nora tells Omega to "eat his words", he notes that he doesn't have a jaw mechanism, though he gets the idea that one might be useful. This gives Nora the idea to add a bear trap to her hammer.

     Vytal Festival Arc 
  • Chapter 25: The Vytal Festival
    • Tails going into Too Much Information when Knuckles wonders how the Vytal Stadium can float, causing the echidna to interrupt him and say that all he needs to know is that it's Dust.
    • Rouge once again stealing Weiss's stuff. This time nicking the heiress's credit card to pay for the food. And later stealing Myrtenaster again.
      Weiss: H-how… you…?! W-Why do you steal from me?!
      Rouge: Because you have fine taste, and I always get a nice reaction.
    • When Weiss's card gets declined, she immediately stares at Rouge who states that she just recently stole it and hadn't had the chance to use it.
      • Blake like in canon fails to eat her food in secret and it's quickly taken away by the vendor, while Sonic tries to do the same with similar results.
    • Sonic finally gets to have some chili dogs since arriving in Remnant, and introduces them to Team RWBY. Ruby absolutely loves them. Weiss is hesitant to try them due to how greasy they are, but as soon as she takes her first bite it is "like fireworks had gone off in her tastebuds".
    • When Jaune was wiping off the chili from his chili dogs (he couldn't eat too much chili because it makes him gassy) Nora comes up with an idea to ignite Jaune's farts with a lighter, turning him into an improvised flamethrower. Yang dismisses it as something from the cartoons, while Tails mentions it is possible but unsafe, much to Ren and Weiss's disgust, Nora's disappointment and Jaune's relief.
    • Turns out Nora did have Tails install a bear trap to Magnhild's hammer mode after all.
  • Chapter 26: Root for the Underdogs
    • Everyone's stunned reactions to Shadow complimenting JNPR.

  • Chapter 27: The Best vs Better
    • Elm turns out to have become a bit of a Sonic fangirl, much to Sonic's own surprise. She even gives him a rapid handshake upon meeting him again, causing him to shake in mid-air.
    • Rouge eliminates Marrow in the sparring match by kissing him on the cheek before grabbing him and throwing him out of the ring. This is also a reference to when she did the same thing to Tails in Sonic X.
    • There's something hilarious with how Shadow taunts Qrow by stealing his flask during their match and pouring it all out right in front of him.
    • Qrow internally complains about how overpowered Shadow is. He calls him "cheap" and a "freak" at different points.
  • Chapter 28: You Learn Something New
    • Sonic, despite everything that he's seen and done, on multiple worlds, and his own Born Lucky status, finds it hard to believe that Clover has being lucky as a Semblance before Pietro clarifies that it's more of a Winds of Destiny, Change! power.
    • When Rouge picks Harriet's pocket and takes out one of the restraints that the Ace Ops Team uses for criminals, she jokes and suggests that she's into S&M, which causes Harriet to rush at her with a red face.
    • In reaction to the above, Penny asks what S&M is. Much to Pietro's relief, Sonic tells the gynoid that they'll talk about it when she's older.
  • Chapter 29: "Underneath the Colors"
    • Cubot bringing snacks to watch Ruby and Weiss's fight... until Orbot reminds him that as robots they can't eat, upon which he drops the popcorn and drinks on the floor, much to Eggman's annoyance.
    • The "air shoes" joke from Sonic Prime gets brought up again after the heroes see Neon's skates and it reminds them of Shadow, leading to a hilarious mental image.
