[up][up][up][up] Killing Ren would have really Unfortunate Implications if Monty is to go by.

Nora might be safe until a God Taijatsu or something appears and Mythology allusion ahoy!

If thor died on Ragnarok then maybe she will kick it in the finale

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE those songs, but it's just painful to listen to them again, knowing Jaune won't ever know Pyrrha loved him as much as she did, even after the kiss.

Or how Yang is super sad and depressed now, instead of happy like she sounds in 'Gold'.

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

We don't know what her past life was like either. Does she have memories of her previous body? Was she made in the image of said person?

True. That said, Penny never made any indication she remembered not being a robot, so I am going of the assumption memory doesn't transfer, until we have evidence of the contrary. But given we were told there is an effect if two auras merge (as they were planing to do with Pyrrha), I would think that, at very last, the overall personality do transfer, so Penny probably acts close to how whoever had her aura previously would.

It's the head why would the aI core be in any place but the head

The heart is a popular place. But, really, there doesn't need to be anywhere specific. It could be on her feet, for all we know, assuming it exist at all.

Continuing on: Raven talks to Yang about why she left: to stop Salem to make the world safe for her. She fought her alone but was nearly killed. When she went back to Taiyang, she saw him with Summer and became bitter. Raven apologizes to Taiyang and tells Yang she is weak not in terms of strength but in terms of determination. Meanwhile in Vale, Oobleck, Port, and Glynda discuss the current situation. On the boat to Beacon, Blake flashes back to her time with Adam. Weiss and FNKI's VTOL is attacked by SDC VTO Ls and it crashes in the swamps next to Haven though they all survive. Meanwhile, JRNR reaches the edge of the swamp. Ruby attempts to contact Weiss through telepathy and succeed. The 2 groups agree to meet at a town on the outskirts of Haven.

If we want to get really philosophical, Penny's aura exists because she's sentient (I think, therefor, I am), and her "Soul" would remain in her body because she's not organic.

Technically, the AI core for a robot like Penny would be in the most well-protected area of the body.

So the head or chest would be the most likely. Or she can have a decentralized neural network, like the Manga Guards in Star Wars.

[down]Nope, only explanation was when Pyrrha gave one to Jaune.

Well, we know that her head and her upper body (minus the arms) are still ok (If that nevermore didn't destroyed them that's it) so she could still be repairable if the "Soul" is contained in those places.

[up] Was there ever an explanation of what Aura is save for that time Pyrrha explained it to Jaune? I think we can get a WOR on Aura (Or i missed it)

"If Nora dies, that all but confirms Rooster Teeth is racist towards redheads."

But on the other hand If Nora dies, it would be tacking down the biggest motherfucking grimm ever...and them she reach Ren to die.....oh yes, glorious despair...I can almost feel it.

"Jaune won't ever know Pyrrha loved him as much as she did, even after the kiss."

Unless Jaune goes to Phyrra home and find something....that would make him cry....

RWBY is to redhead what Walking dead is toward blacksevil grin

Ok, about penny...for some reason people here mix the aura(son)/soul with a AI that can exist outside the body.

A point on why not to put the AI core in the head: it's one of the most obvious place to put it, and most people would probably target it if they know she's a robot.

As for a decentralized neural network, Penny's in about four pieces, which means if someone else nabbed her arm, for example, they could construct a clone of Penny. Depends on whether or not Salem has a robotics technician in her employment.

[up][up]There was a WOR on Aura, it was bundled with the DVD for Volume 2.

It's the head why would the aI core be in any place but the head

Why would they put it in the feet

As I said, the heart is an equally "logical" place to be. As for why in the feet: why in the head? I mean, I do agree that if it exists a core, it would "feel more right" to place it on head instead in the feet. But that doesn't mean it need to be in the head or that it couldn't be in the feet, so you can't just say "it is in the head". Furthermore, again, the heart (or chest) would be an equally natural place to be.

Well, we know that her head and her upper body (minus the arms) are still ok (If that nevermore didn't destroyed them that's it) so she could still be repairable if the "Soul" is contained in those places.

That is what I was thinking. If the soul is located in somewhere specific, it is probably on the head or the chest, and those places were more or less intact.

Honestly i have a feeling Cinder and co do have an insider at Altas and it being Papa Schnee would make sense but i hope he would have a good reason like he was blackmailed into helping Cinder and co because of his family and he stays distant in order to protect them.

Also, if we want to get into specifics, Penny was bisected below where the sternum would be. So her "heart" would be undamaged as well.

If anything, the fact that discussion about Penny being dead and gone is conspicuously absent compared to the not-quite confirmations that Torchwick and Pyrrha are dead is a good sign for Penny, though the discussion about Velvet using Penny's weapon last so we could see it one last time imply that if she comes back, she's going to have a different weapons system.

GeekCodeRed Since: Sep, 2010
#28717: Feb 19th 2016 at 1:54:00 PM

Of course she'll have a new weapons system. The last one was a direct cause of her death.

"Or how Yang is super sad and depressed now, instead of happy like she sounds in 'Gold'."

Yang will get better. Yes it's sad now that team RWBY broke up and are all sad but they're still alive. They'll get better, and be all the more strong for it and in 5 years or so everyone will be talking about how they're glad Adam chopped Yang up cause it lead to and awesome scene of using her new robo arm to rip off one of Mercury's legs and smash him over the head with it, before Fastball Specialing Ruby to stab Cinder in the face or something.

The important stuff from the afterbuzz show

So we've already talked about how they laughed when when people brought up Merc's eyes and how they don't want to talk about who is dead-dead, but there's some fun and interesting info I've not seen mentioned yet:

  • Unlimited Bun Works is just Velvet's weapon; we've not seen her semblance and she'll have more screentime in the future
  • Salem is not the Winter Maiden
  • Yes, Qrow does have the ability to turn into a crow
  • Adam has layers, and we're going to hate him even more once we see them. Oh, and he straight up brute forced Yang's aura.
  • One of the things that was cut was Pyrrha and Nora beating the shit out of Sun and Neptune.
  • Volume 4 is being written as we speak.

So Nora was Pyrrha's partner for the Doubles round, and they beat Sun and Neptune. Good to know [lol]

Damn. I would have loved to see that. Sun vs Pyrrha would have been a fun fight to watch.

I assume Nora just hammertimed Neptune out of bounds in the first twenty seconds though.

Mostly, I just want to see the gunchucks in action again. I don't recall them getting much prominence in the 4v4 round.
