A Red Rose in the Blue Wind, "Different Shades of Pride"

Go To

Eggman meets with the Crown leadership. Meanwhile, Team Dark prepares to deal with the Myrmid Grimm near the Chaos Emerald and investigate a series of kidnappings of Huntsmen.


  • Actually Pretty Funny: Pyrrha smiles when Nora wishes that Weiss was there so they could see her complain about the heat. She also laughs when Jaune makes a sulky face upon her saying that his navigation skills are "only slightly" improving, and at his fake-crying when she calls him a big baby.
  • Ant Assault: Myrmids are giant ant-like Grimm, with several varieties, found only in a single location in Vacuo.
  • Dug Too Deep: The Myrmids were awakened by Dust mining. Theodore even paraphrases the trope name when telling Team Dark about them.
  • Hypocrisy Nod: Team JNPR reflects that they got on Ozpin's case when he kept secrets about Salem when they end up doing the same thing with Starr and Team CFVY.
  • Insect Queen: Discussed, Shadow wonders if, since real ants have queens, that the Myrmids have something like the Wyvern, a Grimm that can produce more.
  • Let's Split Up, Gang!: It's suggested that while Shadow, Omega, and maybe the Maidens go look for the Emerald and deal with the Grimm nest, JNPR, CFVY, Cardin, Whisper and Rouge can investigate the Huntsman kidnappings. In the last part of this chapter Pyrrha and Starr came with Shadow and Omega.
  • Morton's Fork: Lampshaded by Rouge when they learn that there have been kidnappings of Huntsmen in Vacuo, so they either leave their new Fall Maiden and the Summer Maiden behind and put them at risk of that or have them come along to a giant nest of dangerous ant Grimm.
  • Sore Loser: After Jaune defeats her in their sparring match, a bitter Nebula attempts to attack him with a throwing knife on her. Thankfully, Shadow shows up just in time and firmly states to her to leave.
  • Un-person: The Vacuo Council is so scared of the Myrmids that they wanted to wipe out all knowledge of them.
  • Villain Team-Up: Eggman and the Crown make a tentative alliance.
  • Wham Episode: Eggman meets the Crown and agree to a Villain Team-Up, Starr makes her debut, and the Emerald is revealed to be in a nest of dangerous ant Grimm.
  • You Remind Me of X:
    • Jaune notes that Whisper reminds him of Ren and Blake.
    • Whisper also sees signs of the Diamond Cutters in JNPR, and is determined that they won't suffer the same fate.
