Hey, Wyld. What did they say in the livestream about Adam?

Just because Roman is entertaining doesn't mean he should be brought back solely for that. What relevance does he even have to the plot at this point? He's a subordinate, he was meant to be disposable. Yes, it's a shame he's gone, but would you rather him stick around, say a couple one liners, and then have nothing else to do while the world burns?

Hey, Wyld. What did they say in the livestream about Adam?
They explicitly said he was abusive, the worst creep you've probably ever seen, and that he's not very mentally stable.

Hey, Wyld. What did they say in the livestream about Adam?

  • They can't discuss his Semblance because that would be a spoiler.
  • They all agreed he's creepy, abusive, and uncomfortable (for the RT crew) to work with.
  • They said he's not a stable person.

I can't remember if they said anything else.

Is adam somewhat related to Raven? They do have similar weapons...

Maybe Raven teached him swordmanship?

So it's all but Confirmed that Adam's semblance lets him ignore aura, or just overpower it after absorbing damage from his sword.

By claiming they could not talk about it, they inadvertently confirmed one possible scenario.

I'm not believing Adam was abusive to Blake in the past until word of animation proves it wrong. They said Neo would do something that would make us hate her in this volume and that never happen so I'm holding judgement.

Also, completely unrelated to the live-stream, but this is kind of interesting.

In my binge-watching of RWBY, I noticed something:

Ember Celica makes nearly the same sound as the Dah'ren Mohran Heavy Bowguns from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. And trust me, I should know as I've used that particular series for a while (in fact, it's a part of my permanent stable as it packs one HELL of a punch).

[up][up][up] They still have one episode for Neo to fall out of the sky and murder Velvet/Pyrrha/Penny a second time somehow.

[up] Oh shit, that's something I could see; Roman and to a lesser extent Penny being dead struck me very much as a Shoo Out the Clowns moment, and Zwei is pretty much a character that exclusively exists as part of a series of drawn out jokes.

So yeah, from what people on the official forums are saying, during the stream, they mentioned Roman was dead, and didn't really talk about Penny's status after episode 9. One person said they specifically talked around the issue, which makes me think something's going to come of that.

Hope springs eternal.

If you couldn't tell, Penny was one of my favorite characters. Second favorite even, the first being Ruby because I'm the kind of boring person who tends to like the protagonist.

[up] Yang and Blake really aren't in danger at this point, if that's what you're concerned about. I'd worry about secondary characters like CFVY, Zwei, and maybe even JNPR.

Hey, Ruby is a perfectly likeable person. I still want her to get some character focus, because for someone with top billing she hasn't really gotten much development yet.

And for the record, I believe someone being entertaining is a fantastic reason to keep someone around after his or her plot relevance has ended. This series is meant to entertain, right? Roman helps with that. Him staying alive doesn't hurt the plot in any way, whereas killing him deprives the show of someone genuinely fun to watch.

Besides, if you have to write someone out of a story, murder isn't always the only solution, or the best solution. Never throw away perfectly serviceable tools; there's always a chance they could be useful later.

but HOW?
CaptainCapsase from Orbiting Sagittarius A* Since: Jan, 2015
#26393: Feb 12th 2016 at 6:31:15 PM

[up] Honestly, she did get development, but it was rushed to the point of straining the Suspension of Disbelief; she started out shy, more interested in weapons than other people, incapable of working with others, and unable to talk with anyone other than Yang or Jaune without making a fool of herself. Now she's...Well she's not unreasonably shy anymore, just awkward and occasionally inappropriate.

I'm still imagining Torchwick making it out alive, getting the hell outta Dodge Vale, and popping up later in Vacuo, drinking a Strawberry Sunrise, waiting for Neo.

[up][up] Roman's only chance of survival is The Stinger or something like that. Okay, not his only chance, but if he's gonna make a comeback, that's by far the most appropriate time.

It'll feel forced if he randomly shows up 2 volumes down the line.

[up] Exactly.

Actually, the Grimm that ate Torchwick was Neo all along. Now they are chilling in a nice beach near Vacuo

If that is what Neo is going to pull off, i don't see why i would hate her tonguetonguetongue

[up] Neo's illusions seemed inanimate, meaning it would need to be Emerald who bailed Torchwick out.

So update on what was said in the livestream; . In regards to Velvet's weapons, they said that the last weapon had to be Penny's so we could see it one "last" time. That does not bode well. It's not a flat out confirmation of "she's dead and isn't coming back", but barring a scenario where she's rebuilt with a totally different weapons system, things look bleak.

[up] If Emerald were there, regardless of that fact, there's no reason to even do that; Torchwick's winning the fight against Ruby, and him plus Emerald equal one dead protagonist.
