Season 1
Episode 1: The Day of Arrival Part 1 - A Grimm Fandango
Class 1-A suddenly disappeared while they were in a hero rescue class, only to reappear just as suddenly one hour later. But the students have clearly gone through a trial: many of them have suffered injuries, and their costumes are damaged. Principal Nezu, accompanied by Detective Tsukauchi, meet Izuku Midoriya in order to ascertain the truth.
While some handled it better than others, in general their Rescue class had gone well. But when they were returning to the school, the bus was suddenly transported to the middle of a forest. Moving out of the bus, the group encounters Gale, a young girl with a dog tail, with clear signs of having run through the forest, that seems to somehow know about them, given that she has drawings on them.
The somewhat jovial scene gets interrupted when Kyoka Jiro picks up a large pack of animals coming towards the group. Gale, scared, says they are Grimm, creatures that eat humans and Faunus like her. As all wildlife flies or runs away, Koji Koda states that the animals were also scared off.
The students quickly move to protect Gale, and meet the so-called Grimm for the first time: large black wolf-like creatures with red eyes and a malevolent attitude. Koda tries to speak with them, but all he hears is that they only seek to kill anything they find. One of the Grimm attacks Koda, starting the fight, while Shota Aizawa, 1-A's homeroom teacher, orders Momo Yaoyorozu to fire a flare.
Several kilometers away, Ruby Rose, Huntsman in training, sees the flare, and asks her partner Weiss Schnee and friend Pyrrha Nikos to warn their teacher Glynda Goodwitch while she gathers their friends.
1-A fights off the Grimm with determination. Katsuki Bakugo uses his explosions to kill the creatures and move around; Eijiro Kirishima uses his Quirk to harden his skin, making himself more difficult to hurt while he also puts Grimm down. Fumikage Tokoyami sends his partner Dark Shadow to quickly strike down any creature that comes close. Shoto Todoroki freezes the Grimm while Yuga Aoyama blasts them with his Navel Laser. But they all observe strange things: they all turn into ashes when they die, and some of them are tougher than the others. Izuku also realizes that the Grimm target those of them who have strong emotions like anger or fear.
As a second wave of Grimm approaches, Aizawa sets the students on defensive positions. One of the wolves manages to jump over them and attempts to attack Jiro, but her partner Denki Kaminari electrocutes it, allowing Mashirao Ojiro and Jiro to bring it down. Meanwhile, Izuku, Tenya Iida and Mina Ashido run across the battlefield, using their greater agility to cover any opening, and Minoru Mineta and Hanta Sero use their Quirks to make the Grimm get stuck to each other.
The creature leading this pack has sent some Grimm to attack from the back, but the students and All Might react quickly to counterattack: while Mezo Shoji knocks several of them out, the veteran hero holds the one that gets closer off long enough for Tsuyu Asui, Ochako Uraraka, and Toru Hagakure to send it flying into the others. However, Aizawa notes that the students will start flagging if help doesn't come soon. At Bakugo's behest, Shoto uses his Heaven-Piercing Ice Wall, allowing the former to use his powerful grenade bracers on the pack.
Meanwhile, the Huntsmen see the combined glacier and explosion, and Ruby notes they need to get there faster. Her suggestion seems to be disliked by Weiss, though.
The combined attack gives the students a breather, but not for long, as more Grimm attack, these ones resembling bears, boars, gorillas, and giant crows. Shoto freezes the ground while Mineta sends his sticky hair balls all over it, making it harder for the creatures to attack. However, that's when the pack leader appears - a giant four-eyed sloth that coordinates the others. While everyone holds off the pack. Todoroki manages to partially freeze the sloth, and Bakugo quickly jumps ahead to attempt to kill it with an explosion... only for it to survive it, forcing Izuku to rescue him.
With the odds being six to one, it looks like 1-A's doomed... until gunshots being to be heard. One of the giant crows crashes on top of the horde, its head destroyed, and Ruby Rose jumps off the dead crow, wielding a giant scythe and declaring Team RWBY has come to help.

Episode 2: Day of Arrival Part 2 – Beneath a Broken Moon
Team RWBY arrives into the field by riding a Nevermore - one of the giant crows - much to Weiss' chagrin, since she remembers how they did the same a few weeks before. Her teammate Blake Belladonna points out it's too late to complain, and Ruby organizes the team to better support 1-A. Ruby jumps to kill the other Nevermore in the air while Yang Xiao-Long, Ruby's sister, kills the one they were riding and the others jump off, killing several Grimm on landing.
Ruby immediately begins to fight the Grimm, shooting several down with her weapon, "Crescent Rose", and then switching to scythe mode to kill more, with some help from Aizawa, who warns her about Mineta's Quirk - a term she's never heard of. Nonetheless, she leads her team to continue their onslaught on the Grimm, allowing 1-A to fall back.
Yaoyorozu analyzes the situation, and as everyone falls back, she realizes Todoroki is starting to falter, so she has him get clear while she covers for him. However, she finds herself at a disadvantage when she uses a staff, which is almost useless against the creatures - and soon proves worse than that when the Grimm attacking her disarms her. Before it can try to kill her, though, a sword flies in and slashes the Grimm's throat - a sword thrown by Jaune Arc, leader of Team JNPR, who quickly orders his team to position themselves in place before helping Yaoyorozu finish off the Grimm... and ending with both of them blushing from their interaction.
As Aizawa asks about the newcomers, Ruby mentions they come from Beacon. Aizawa realizes that this means they aren't in Japan... a place neither Ruby nor Yang have ever heard about.
Weiss and Pyrrha discuss where the Grimm come from as they kill more of them, when Glynda Goodwitch arrives and uses her Semblance to telekinetically control the bus and throw it at the Megatherium, asking Nora Valkyrie to destroy it with her weapon's grenade launcher. Meanwhile, Nora's partner Lie Ren goes to the injured and uses his Semblance to calm Bakugo down and stop him from continuing to attract Grimm.
Blake jumps between several Grimm, killing or hurting them, when she's shocked to see Dark Shadow wrestle a Boarbatusk. Tokoyami and Shoji show up, offering to support her. The same happens with Kirishima helping Yang fight several Ursa.
The Megatherium manages to throw off the strike, prompting everyone to continue falling back. However, Izuku manages to come up with a plan: if they manage to weaken the monster's armor, then the strongest fighters should be able to break through and kill the monster. However, it's a plan that needs everyone to work together to succeed. While the teachers are reluctant, they agree to implement Izuku's plan.
Jaune, Pyrrha, and Yang fight the Megatherium up close, allowing Jaune to notice the Grimm has several swords stuck in its belly, and tells Pyrrha to use that to their advantage: Pyrrha slides underneath and uses her Semblance to make the swords sink deeper, stunning it and giving an opening for Nora to fire at it, but then Yaoyorozu creates a brass cannon and, as the Hunters are cleared by Iida and Ruby, she and Aoyama fire at the monster, cracking its skull. Nora, noticing Kaminari produces electricity, has him shock her to take advantage of her Semblance, which empowers her by absorbing electricity, and she breaks the Megatherium's leg.
While Hagakure blinds the Megatherium, the students immobilize the Megatherium's forelegs, and Ochako uses her Quirk on a fallen tree for Goodwitch to use to immobilize its head, and Izuku and Bakugo on one side, and Team RWBY on the other, spin around to provide Izuku and Yang the impulse they need to smash the Megatherium's head by smashing it at the same time.
The students, both heroes and Huntsmen, tiredly cheer for victory, just in time for Professor Peter Port to arrive, along with Team CRDL, one of whose members, Cardin Winchester, quickly earns the disgust of 1-A with a despective comment that Shoji and Jiro hear. Jiro cracks up laughing when she sees Kaminari in "idiot mode" from overdoing his shocking of Nora.
And Aizawa realizes that the group is definitely not on Earth, as he sees Remnant's broken moon and the shards trailing it - a situation that is further defined when the Huntsman students realize the heroes don't have Aura.
As they fly to Vale in order to get everyone to a hospital, Glynda calls Ozpin, Beacon's headmaster, to inform him of the situation. As he realizes the magnitude of the situation, Ozpin quickly leaves his office in order to meet the group at the hospital.
The heroes and hero students are placed under quarantine: coming from an entirely different place, there is a chance they could bring something dangerous with them. Due to their prolonged contact, teams RWBY and JNPR, as well as Goodwitch, are also in the same quarantine.
And 1-A's students, as they begin to recover from their injuries, start to realize that they are no longer on Earth.
Ruby immediately begins to fight the Grimm, shooting several down with her weapon, "Crescent Rose", and then switching to scythe mode to kill more, with some help from Aizawa, who warns her about Mineta's Quirk - a term she's never heard of.

And 1-A's students, as they begin to recover from their injuries, start to realize that they are no longer on Earth.
Episode 3: Aura for All
Aizawa visits his students, who ask worriedly about the status of the moon: the teacher tells them that they are in a different world now, one they know little about. Bakugo, Koda, and All Might, the ones worst injured in the fight, have undergone surgery and are on the path to recovery; Teams RWBY and JNPR are in independent rooms until the quarantine ends, and Gale is now sleeping. When Tsuyu asks about how to return home, Aizawa admits he doesn't know how, but tells the students he will work on it, and to make the most of their current situation.
Nora, meanwhile, complains about being stuck on quarantine, as Ren patiently explains her the reasoning. Weiss brings up how strange it is to find people that not only come from another world, but with powers that are clearly not based on Aura, and Blake notes that it does make some sense, considering the mutations some of U.A.'s students have. Yang compares them with her sister's comic books, which prompts Weiss to note that this may not have been the first contact between Remnant and other such worlds. Nonetheless, the visitors are stuck in Remnant for the time being. Jaune, meanwhile, flashbacks to some recent events, and brings Pyrrha to a private spot so he can apologize for his actions and ask for her help in training, which Pyrrha accepts.
Ozpin arrives to the hospital and joins the quarantine so he can speak with the visitors (and escape the tedium of his bureaucratic work). Beacon's Headmaster and Goodwitch explain to Aizawa and All Might the current situation. Bringing up Gale leads Aizawa to explain Quirks to both teachers and his theory that Gale may have a Quirk that is responsible for bringing them and their students to Remnant. Ozpin states his intention of bringing Gale to Beacon, where she can be taken care of and helped to understand her power - which ties with another suggestion he intends to make: have the U.A. teachers and students go to Beacon as well. Aizawa admits it is a generous offer, but requests more information so that they know what the offer would fully entail.
Izuku wakes up in the middle of the night, and sees Ochako sleeping in a chair near him. He reflects on his luck of having her as a friend before falling asleep again.
Morning comes. Koda has had trouble sleeping due to persistent nightmares caused by the Grimm's bloodthirsty nature. Izuku wakes to see Ochako gone - she fell asleep mid night and left for her own bed as fast as possible, embarrassed about it all. Bakugo wakes up to see Kirishima welcome him back.
As 1-A has breakfast, Teams RWBY and JNPR come to visit them. The Huntsmen teams present themselves, and Tenya and Yaoyorozu do the same. When Ochako calls Izuku "Deku", Nora, Ren, Blake, and Yang react negatively, knowing it means "good for nothing", until Izuku explains how Ochako changed the meaning so it would stand for "one that can do anything" (drawing the attention of Nora and Mina). Tenya suggests that both groups exchange questions to learn more about each other and their worlds.
Ojiro asks about the Grimm, who, as Ren and Pyrrha explain, are soulless monsters who are drawn to negative emotions and whose nature is to attack humans. Bakugo suggests using nuclear weapons, but, as it turns out, Remnant never developed such technology due to the prevalence of dust. Blake asks about the Faunus-like features in some of the students, which is explained as Quirk-derived mutations. Kaminari - after a brief intervention by Nora, who is still enthusiastic about how his Quirk complements her Semblance - tries to ask about Aura, but Bakugo interrupts with the same question. Before the Huntsmen can answer, the teachers for both groups arrive.
All Might - who arrived in his power form - explains how he can do so even though he is unable to keep it for long enough to continue as a Pro Hero, prompting Nora to try to do the same thing. Ozpin asks Jaune to explain about Aura: in essence, it's the power of the soul, which can protect people, heal injuries, enhance strength and speed and make it easier to keep track of the environment, although it requires training to use efficiently, and it can be depleted if one doesn't take enough rest. Goodwitch adds her point to explain Semblances, Aura-fueled powers that are unique to each person, but that require particular triggers in order to be discovered - such as Nora, who found hers when she got hit by lightning.
Aizawa then brings up the main reason for the teachers' intervention: Ozpin has suggested unlocking the auras of all the students. As All Might and Aizawa have had their Aura unlocked already, it is clear people from Earth can do so. Izuku is the first to volunteer, followed by Bakugo and Koda, which prompts the others to accept the offer as well.
When Ozpin unlocks Izuku's Aura, Izuku shows up somewhere else entirely, with several people he doesn't recognize - save for a golden figure he realizes is All Might. Surprisingly, Ozpin is also there - and he is not alone, either, as he has multiple figures behind him that imitate his movements perfectly. As Ozpin attempts to learn if this is related to Izuku's Quirk, they witness two memories: a confrontation between One for All's first wielder and his brother, All for One, and the day One for All itself was created. As Ozpin notes the importance of this event and promises to keep what he's seen secret, the Vestige of the First Torchbearer speaks to Izuku and Ozpin, stating that the introduction of Aura to One for All will make things unpredictable.
Izuku and Ozpin wake up from the event: to the consternation of everyone else, they have spent five minutes in a deep trance. The shocks are not over, though, as Izuku somehow has nine people's worth of Aura, which Bakugo and All Might immediately connect to One for All, although Ozpin successfully covers for it by claiming fault. The Headmaster intends to arrange things so U.A.'s students will attend Beacon, while someone he knows will take care of Gale, and Teams RWBY and JNPR will aid in helping the students get settled at Beacon.
As the Heroes in training get used to having Aura, they also entertain themselves by trying to learn more about Remnant. All Might brings Izuku aside in order to check on him, and uses a notebook to covertly ask what happened when his Aura was unlocked. Izuku explains the visions he had, something All Might has no reference for.
Nora, meanwhile, complains about being stuck on quarantine, as Ren patiently explains her the reasoning.

Episode 4: Moving into Beacon Dorms
Ruby teaches Izuku how to use a scroll - the Remnant version of mobile phones - to record a video diary for posterity.
Five days after arriving to this new world, U.A.'s students and teachers are finally being released from quarantine. Teams RWBY and JNPR have offered to buy stuff for everyone, including specialized clothes for those with big mutations. In order to pay for it, they are selling the radio set and the cannon Yaoyorozu made at the forest: unlike most of Remnant's technology, neither uses Dust, a substance that is a major part of Remnant's economy.
Meanwhile, Vale's Council meets to address the issue with the students: while there are reservations about Ozpin's plan to house them at Beacon, they are willing to support the measure. With rumors of the arrival of Heroes around, Ozpin also intends to reveal the truth, as he sees little need for hiding it. As for the suggestion of having the Pro Heroes support the local police in a manner akin to Huntsmen, it's something to be considered later.
Gale comes to visit 1-A, and brings a few pictures she's made of the fight at the forest for them. The Beacon students arrive shortly after, with Gale giving them pictures as well. Aizawa interrupts the moment in order to sort out the clothes, allowing 1-A's students to finally get out of their hospital clothes and go to Beacon. The students of both schools bond during the travel as they see Vale from above and soon land at the Huntsmen Academy. Bakugo quickly proves his inability to make nice with anyone, as Goodwitch arrives and asks Ruby to help show Beacon Academy to the newcomers. After a brief reference to how she "exploded" shortly after arriving to Beacon, Ruby leads the group inside.
Aizawa reflects on Ozpin: while he considers the Headmaster a smart man that could easily be a Pro Hero, there is something about the man that keeps him on guard.
The group enters Beacon's Main Hall, where several students are spending the time. Team CVFY, formed by Coco Adel, Velvet Scarlatina, Fox Alistair and Yatsuhashi Daichi, approaches to greet Ruby and meet the newcomers: Coco quickly connects with Mina, but the talk is cut short by Goodwitch. The students compare notes on their respective worlds' cultures, and Ruby reminisces about her initiation to Beacon, with Aizawa and All Might agreeing to hide the method used by Ozpin from Nezu, knowing the principal would happily pick the idea and use it.
Finally, after a long tour, the students are brought to the guest rooms where they'll sleep while they are at Beacon, but Aizawa then reveals something else: as Beacon doesn't have unlimited space, and they have to plan for the arrival of foreign students for the Vytal Tournament, 1-A will be split in teams similar to what the school normally does, with the students' reactions varying from embarrassment (like Izuku and Ochako) to Mineta's perversion. While the teams themselves are more or less accepted by the students - with Kaminari even imagining his team acting in the mold of the Wild, Wild Pussycats - other things such as names are not, particularly by Bakugo.
After Aizawa issues warnings, the students split, trying to figure out how to fit into their different rooms. While it goes well by the most part, Bakugo quickly gets on Yang's bad side by referring to Ruby by a nickname Yang knows her sister hates. Before a fight can break out, Aizawa arrives and stops it, telling Yang to leave before admonishing Bakugo for his antagonizing attitude, warning him that, unless he shapes up, he'll be losing his leadership position.
In Vale, Roman Torchwick, one of Vale's most notorious criminals, listens to the radio as the arrival of the mysterious people from a different world is announced. Roman decides to call his patron in order to relay the news.
At Beacon, the students mingle after dinner. Ruby speaks with Izuku about All Might, amazed by the influence the latter had in Japan. She compares him to her uncle Qrow Branwen, who is a deep influence in her own fighting style. When Yang comes, both Ruby and Jaune leave to do their own work, but Yang stays for a moment to ask how Bakugo was allowed to become a Hero student, with Izuku and Ochako admitting that his attitude is terrible, but that he's getting better with time, and he does have the talent needed for it. Yang accepts the comment, but remarks that Bakugo reminds her of the people that bullied Ruby when they were younger. And, while she won't be starting a fight with him any time soon... she might pick up one if she has the chance to do it in Goodwitch's combat class.

Meanwhile, Vale's Council meets to address the issue with the students: while there are reservations about Ozpin's plan to house them at Beacon, they are willing to support the measure. With rumors of the arrival of Heroes around, Ozpin also intends to reveal the truth, as he sees little need for hiding it. As for the suggestion of having the Pro Heroes support the local police in a manner akin to Huntsmen, it's something to be considered later.
Gale comes to visit 1-A, and brings a few pictures she's made of the fight at the forest for them. The Beacon students arrive shortly after, with Gale giving them pictures as well. Aizawa interrupts the moment in order to sort out the clothes, allowing 1-A's students to finally get out of their hospital clothes and go to Beacon. The students of both schools bond during the travel as they see Vale from above and soon land at the Huntsmen Academy. Bakugo quickly proves his inability to make nice with anyone, as Goodwitch arrives and asks Ruby to help show Beacon Academy to the newcomers. After a brief reference to how she "exploded" shortly after arriving to Beacon, Ruby leads the group inside.
Aizawa reflects on Ozpin: while he considers the Headmaster a smart man that could easily be a Pro Hero, there is something about the man that keeps him on guard.
The group enters Beacon's Main Hall, where several students are spending the time. Team CVFY, formed by Coco Adel, Velvet Scarlatina, Fox Alistair and Yatsuhashi Daichi, approaches to greet Ruby and meet the newcomers: Coco quickly connects with Mina, but the talk is cut short by Goodwitch. The students compare notes on their respective worlds' cultures, and Ruby reminisces about her initiation to Beacon, with Aizawa and All Might agreeing to hide the method used by Ozpin from Nezu, knowing the principal would happily pick the idea and use it.
Finally, after a long tour, the students are brought to the guest rooms where they'll sleep while they are at Beacon, but Aizawa then reveals something else: as Beacon doesn't have unlimited space, and they have to plan for the arrival of foreign students for the Vytal Tournament, 1-A will be split in teams similar to what the school normally does, with the students' reactions varying from embarrassment (like Izuku and Ochako) to Mineta's perversion. While the teams themselves are more or less accepted by the students - with Kaminari even imagining his team acting in the mold of the Wild, Wild Pussycats - other things such as names are not, particularly by Bakugo.
After Aizawa issues warnings, the students split, trying to figure out how to fit into their different rooms. While it goes well by the most part, Bakugo quickly gets on Yang's bad side by referring to Ruby by a nickname Yang knows her sister hates. Before a fight can break out, Aizawa arrives and stops it, telling Yang to leave before admonishing Bakugo for his antagonizing attitude, warning him that, unless he shapes up, he'll be losing his leadership position.
In Vale, Roman Torchwick, one of Vale's most notorious criminals, listens to the radio as the arrival of the mysterious people from a different world is announced. Roman decides to call his patron in order to relay the news.
At Beacon, the students mingle after dinner. Ruby speaks with Izuku about All Might, amazed by the influence the latter had in Japan. She compares him to her uncle Qrow Branwen, who is a deep influence in her own fighting style. When Yang comes, both Ruby and Jaune leave to do their own work, but Yang stays for a moment to ask how Bakugo was allowed to become a Hero student, with Izuku and Ochako admitting that his attitude is terrible, but that he's getting better with time, and he does have the talent needed for it. Yang accepts the comment, but remarks that Bakugo reminds her of the people that bullied Ruby when they were younger. And, while she won't be starting a fight with him any time soon... she might pick up one if she has the chance to do it in Goodwitch's combat class.
Episode 5: Burnin' Sparks! Yang Vs Bakugo!
1-A joins Goodwitch's Combat Class along with the other first-year Huntsmen teams. After explaining the rules for fighting, Goodwitch begins to pick who fights, but Cardin requests to issue a challenge, which Goodwitch allows - and Cardin challenges Mineta. Everyone else sees that he's just trying to get an easy fight so he can later mock the Hero students, but Jaune and Tsuyu encourage Mineta that he can win the fight. Seeing this, Yang decides to challenge Bakugo as well.
Izuku notes that it feels early to start fighting so soon after getting Aura might be a bit too much, but then again, their school motto is "Plus Ultra", so being pushed forward is pretty much the norm for them. Meanwhile, Yang just remembers how she protected her sister from bullies in the past, and how their father Taiyang taught her not to use violence to stop every problem.
The fight between Cardin and Mineta begins — and Mineta shocks Cardin by tossing his sticky balls at him, causing Cardin to get stuck to his own armor before jumping at his head and throwing him over more balls. With Cardin unable to move, Mineta wins the fight. Cardin is forced to let Todoroki burn off the sticky balls so he can leave the fighting pit.
The second match pits Pyrrha against Yaoyorozu, which the students discuss: it could go either way, depending on who manages to seize initiative, as while Pyrrha is a tournament champion, Yaoyorozu has greater versatility when it comes to using her Quirk.
Yaoyorozu begins by using her Matrioshka move to get a flashbang grenade to explode in front of Pyrrha, who, despite the trick, feels ecstatic that she may be the challenge she seeks. Pyrrha switches her weapon to rifle form and shoots, forcing Yaoyorozu to create a riot shield to protect herself, giving Pyrrha time to switch back to a javelin and toss it, piercing the shield and hurting Yaoyorozu. Pyrrha pushes the shield away with her foot, but Yaoyorozu surprises her by trapping her with several metal cables. Pyrrha, however, is able to turn the tables by using her Aura and Semblance to get rid of the cables, and strikes her with her shield, forcing Yaoyorozu to forfeit. Both young women come out of it content and glad to become friends with each other.
The students discuss the fight, and Yang and Bakugo go to the lockers in order to prepare for their own fight.
Meanwhile, All Might is in Port's class, and feels bemused at the way the moustache-bearing man teaches his class, although he acknowledges that Port does know what he's working with. He's less sure about how his students will deal with the idea of bearing potentially lethal weaponry, particularly Izuku and Bakugo.
The students discuss the fight, with Izuku stating it will depend on how good Yang is at fighting. The fight begins, and both fighters fly at each other. Yang proves to be better at fighting than what Bakugo is used to, and he causes a flashbang explosion with his sweat to give himself space and use a more powerful move. Yang recovers and quickly moves to dodge Bakugo's attack before almost slamming him against the ground, switching to her weapon shooting mode, nearly nailing him several times. Bakugo manages to attack the moment Yang runs out of ammo, and grabs her hair - the one thing that's ensured to really anger her. In combination with her knowing that he's a bully, it triggers her Semblance, allowing her to punch Bakugo and start to dominate the fight, even as Bakugo tries to counter her. It's only a desperate attack that allows Bakugo to stop her - but they end up hitting each other so hard that they both fly out of the ring and get their Auras in red, putting an end to the fight.
The students discuss the fight, with Izuku analyzing Yang's Semblance out loud, much to Weiss' irritation. Down at the lockers, Bakugo meets Yang and states he's figured out how her Semblance works - and notes that, regardless of their different attitudes, they are not that different from each other. He challenges her to get better so their next fight is even more intense, and actually calls her by her name, something Yang knows is a big deal.
All Might, Aizawa, and Goodwitch meet to compare notes. Aizawa acknowledges the difference in purpose of Heroes and Huntsmen has led to different things to teach, as Heroes are trained to restrain while Huntsmen are trained to kill. When Pyrrha comes up, Aizawa points out that her regularly using her Semblance in a subtle manner might impair her if she has to go all out with it and doesn't have the skill to do so. He also notes that his students are going to worry more the longer they go without knowing whether they'll return home again.
The 1-A girls join Team RWBY in the latter's bedroom and discuss Yaoyorozu's fight with Pyrrha. Everyone agrees it was really good, although Tsuyu points out that a fight with some of the other 1-A students would have gone widely different. They also have a laugh as Ruby is petrified when Tsuyu mentions how Ashido could melt her weapon.
At his room, Bakugo reflects on the changes Aura can actually bring to fighting, and admits that he and his classmates need to upgrade their gear and fighting style if they want to keep up with the Huntsmen.
And Mina finds one of Blake's erotic books, while the others keep talking about themselves, their families and friends.

Episode 6: New Tools of Trade
Izuku tells how he and his classmates have been learning how to work with the new situation they are in, such as learning how to use Aura and improve their use of their Quirks - as well as Mineta getting warned against messing around with the Beacon girls.
Teams RWBY and JNPR discuss an idea Ruby and Jaune are considering for training with 1-A, which the others consider. When Weiss brings up Mineta, Jaune mentions having come up with training to deal with him if he tries anything - a video of which was shown to Mineta to warn him off. When Weiss asks about Yaoyorozu's idea of using the same spray Mineta uses to keep his clothes from sticking, Jaune states that Yaoyorozu has yet to find the exact formula.
As Pyrrha states she wants to train with 1-A because fighting Momo showed her she was still far from being her possible best, Weiss privately thinks about Todoroki and resolves to do the same, while Yang admits she needs to up her game, as her fight with Bakugo showed her she needs to improve a lot. Ruby also suggests re-examining their own gear and improving it.
Coco Adel shows up, leaving the rest of her team talking with 1-A's students: curious about Earth's Pro-Heroes, as well as feeling Velvet needed to be cheered up, Coco brought her friends to ask 1-A, which (mostly Izuku) promptly regaled the team with stories about Japan's top heroes, such as Mirko, the Rabbit Hero. As Coco offers support for any ideas, Professor Mulberry arrives to ask 1-A's students, as well as Teams RWBY and JNPR, to join him in the workshop: it's time for the U.A. students to get their weapons made.
When Iida protests this, Mulberry mentions that Aizawa had similar misgivings about the idea of arming the students, on account of Pro Heroes being seen more as law enforcement than as an army like Huntsmen are, but, as Ozpin points out, 1-A, Aizawa, and All Might are not on Earth, and they will likely have to adapt to the situation, as not only are they likely to fight more Grimm, but Remnant has its own type of villains, who can be as nefarious as those found on Earth. Aizawa eventually agreed with letting his students have Huntsmen-style weaponry, as long as he and All Might have the final say on it.
The students remain reluctant, but Bakugo accurately points out that they can't just rely on their Quirks, noting that Villains are likely just as skilled as Huntsmen, which means that they need to learn how to diversify their skills. Accepting this, the students try to come up with ideas, with different degrees of success, as well as suggestions from Mulberry and the Beacon students on things that could complement or improve their fighting styles.
At lunch, RWBY and JNPR speak about the time at the workshop, also bringing up ideas they've had in the process of helping 1-A. Nora and Yang tease Weiss over her interest in Shoto.
Meanwhile, the teachers arrive to the hospital after their meeting with the Vale City Council: the Hero students have been given permission to start patrolling the city, as long as they are with other Huntsmen. Aizawa receives the data on the weapons his students came up with, which he regards with ambivalence. He leaves this aside, though, as they await for the reason they are at the hospital: Gale's new guardian, Taiyang Xiao Long.
But, as the 1-A students relax at Beacon after a productive day, trouble brews in the horizon as Adam Taurus, leader of the Vale branch of the terrorist group White Fang, meets with Roman Torchwick and his partner Neopolitan.
