YMMV / RWBY (2015)

Go To

  • First Installment Wins: The manga is set during Volumes 1-3 of the original show, which is considered the most iconic part of the show and allows for slice-of-life stories set in Beacon Academy to be explored along with extra world-building.
  • Ho Yay: There are several moments between Ruby and Weiss. Weiss encourages Ruby as their team leader giving her the confidence to beat Cardin in a training match, and later Ruby takes a hit for Weiss during their fight with the Hydra-Grimm before they use their IceFlower attack to bring it down. After the fight, Weiss admonishes Ruby for scratching at the wound she got shielding her, warning her it might scar; Ruby cheerfully noting that if it did scar, then they'd be like mirror images of one another. Weiss actually looks away, seeming to hide a Luminescent Blush at the comment.
  • Nightmare Fuel: A new possession-type Grimm is introduced in Chapter 10 that looks like a giant six-eyed skull with tentacles coming out of it. In Chapter 11, this Grimm ambushes a group of King Taijitus and forcefully fuses them together to create a giant hydra-like Grimm. It's unlike other possession-type Grimm such as the Petras Gigas or the Armor Gigas; they only possess inanimate objects — this creature can possess multiple Grimm at the same time to create entirely new types of Grimm via fusion.
