RWBY General Discussion

The fight is settled by popular vote actually.

You vote & whoever has the highest tally wins the fight.

Also I just now learned how Blake's sword works through that video.

This is actually a spin-off of Death Battle that doesn't do genuine research on who would win, but simply decides based on majority vote who should win.

That said Blake lost.

'd.

This isn't Death Battle, it's a similar but different show. Primary difference is that Death Battle are owned by Rooster Teeth, while DBX, if I'm not mistaken, are not.

Also, glad to see they remembered Blake is a dual-wielder. The show never seems to remember that anymore.

Really, we should just don't include anything that hints at shipping because it's just gonna trigger flame wars. You can even put it as a warning:

"Due to how easily volatile this topic is, please refrain from troping the characters' sexual orientations".

I can imagine that very sentence inciting flame responses.

It's better than invoking edit wars over how two characters barely interacted and yet they somehow become the main ship because the songs (that people otherwise point out are never canon) ship them.

let's please leave our Biases involving the Ships out of our decisions on how to trope this.

Clearly, Blake is the single most controversial character in this series, seeing how whenever there's a big argument, it eventually involves her.

She's also a jobber.

double-post?

And kind of the worst.

Weiss may be a useless lesbian but she's a wealthy useless lesbian

But Blake seen to be wealthy so that makes Weiss More of a useless lesbian.

Does Blake’s family own a major money-making company?

Cause if not Weiss is the richer of the two.

Since her father cut it out, now she Is the poorer of the team

She's apart of a greater legacy though, with more to her name.

What exactly does Blake's family have to credit themselves?

I mean, they run Mengerie now(With some Fans thinking Blake was raised in Luxury or something not getting that Blake's father wasn't Chief at the time)

How would He be Chieftain when he's going around the world with the White fang?

Oh man, I'm so sorry for missing the line that stated when exactly Ghira became a chieftain. Oh wait.

Hmm, I have a feeling Weiss will have a possible I Hate Past Me moment regarding her past life as a Rich Bitch in Volume 7. Thoughts?

Edited by gjjones on Sep 2nd 2019 at 4:18:18 AM

Didn't she have that moment during the charity ball in Volume 4?

Ghira became Chief of Menagerie after he stepped down as White Fang leader. But he went from setting up and leading an organisation to chief of Menagerie, so he's been influential either way. According to the DVD commentary, he lives in that mansion because he's the chief. He wouldn't live there if he stopped being the chief. So, that mansion, I guess, is Menagerie's Downing Street or White House. It's therefore not a sign of how personally wealthy he really is — although the DVD Commentary does say that Blake is an heiress just like Weiss (presumably not exactly like Weiss, unless we're going to meet an abusive human along the way who has the letters 'WF' branded across his face )

Here's a question: does Pyrrha count as an example of Mentor Occupational Hazard?

(2) Probably.

But we're also led to believe she was like that because Winter/Jacques.

One semester break later and Weiss is literally hopping on chairs and squee-ing over puppies. I feel like the Rich Bitch-iness will be downplayed.

Assuming the line is still right, though it is called into question after the Adam short, Ghira's been chieftain for only 5 years, having stepped down from position as leader of the White Fang at that time.

Reason I say if its still accurate is because there's a Series Continuity Error in the short. Ilia appears while Ghira was leading the Fang, and she looks identical to her look in the present, despite the implication she was close in age to Blake, and had it been five years Blake would have been twelve. Meaning one of three things:

• 1. They retconned the time since he stepped down and he was only leader until very recently.
• 2. Ilia's five years older than Blake, making her being romantically attracted to the younger Blake a little... disturbing.
• 3. The animators reused Ilia's character model and didn't notice or care about the time discrepancy.

Alright so the Belladonna family have been chieftain for like half a decade.

How long has the Schnee corp been running?

Edited by slimcoder on Sep 2nd 2019 at 1:53:36 AM

Well if we go by generations, its been running for at least two generations. It was founded by Nicholas Schnee shortly after the Great War, which took place 80 years before the series. It was then passed on to his son-in-law Jacques Schnee-nee-Gele after his health began failing and his family came to miss him. Jacques had only recently married Ms. Schnee so assumedly this was when Jacques was a young adult, as his taking the helm is also when the SDC became more morally bankrupt. Assuming that Jacques and Ms. Schnee had children into their late twenties at earliest, that Jacques had already taken over the SDC at this point, and factoring in Winter's approximate age (her 20's), then the company's been around for at least two decades.

Probably the last one Admittedly.

Maybe he didn't actually leave right away when he stepped down? I mean, Sienna seemed to be in charge in the short, and the White Fang come to their house collecting even in the present.
