Because RWBY doesn't use power levels.

Though the question on the whole Coco's minigun does need to be answered. That weapon chewed up Nevermores and Death Stalkers, yet didn't annihilate the tournament field.

I have no idea how that works.

[up]Bullets specifically ment for Grimm?

I mean, when Ruby kicked the Griffon into the ship, it was actively lunging down at her, she was jumping upwards, and to my knowledge she used her super speed semblance to vault off of it. Like, she just turned it's lunges momentum further forward with a jump, which given that it was a giant creature leaping toward her, likely wouldn't have taken as much effort as you think.

[up][up][up]Because the tournament field is specifically designed to withstand Huntsmen and Huntresses going all-out in battle? There's even a force-field to protect the audience, so clearly the designers were expecting hunters to let rip with abandon. The structure surely has to be designed to withstand that?

The setting noticeably doesn't start to get torn up until the Grimm attack has sapped power levels enough for the outer forcefield to shatter.

Edited: I pulled Weiss's Summon Magic entry to the Discussion Page. Someone keeps editing it to say that Weiss used a sword made of Ice Dust in the Volume 2 finale instead of a partially summoned Knight sword. I pulled it to Discussion to get a consensus on which it should be, so it would be good if a few Tropers could respond, as only one person has so far. It needs to be sorted because it's turning into an Edit War.

If my post doesn't mention a giant flying sperm whale with oversized teeth and lionfish fins for flippers, it just isn't worth reading.

[up]Uh, I am pretty sure Weiss sword in Volume 2 was a ice dust sword. It seemed so obvious I wouldn't imagine anyone would think otherwise.

Well, feel free to respond to the discussion. I'm just looking for a consensus so the edit war won't continue. I don't care which option everyone settles for.

Weiss can't Summon until her little training session with Winter in Volume 3 remember?

So the sword she summons in Volume 2 can't be her Semblance, but something made with Dust

The sword during Breach and the hand during to first round were constructs made using ice dust and her Semblance, the arm wielding the sword was a partial summon.

While in RWBY there sin power levels, there is "power status" and one of them is non name chararter never beat name ones, Not-leatherface just take Weiss face, plum her into the floor and them put his chainsaw into her chest, it was....random, also I think she was making her combo when that happen.

Now about Jaune....there are reasons: first he is "Normal" and generic, which annoying many anime fans because it remain them the typical shonen hero of this days(skinny, weak who need to grow up, have a female chararter who is the ace liking him because he is "Nice") who get screen time for the already four badass protagonist that made the name of the show.

In the case of Tumblr, there is already the idea of he getting away of shipping between four main girls, the idea of the tipical skinny,white het male lead getting with one of the leads have already getting so flak, even more with him been the only ship actually suport with the show itself beyond tastes and having two arcs about him...and of course the whole idea thar Phyrra death is stuffing her in the friged in favor of him angst a little and them forgetting her...probably in favor of Ruby.

And that it.

Jaune is not a standard Shounen Hero in any way, shape, or form, really. If anything, Yang's probably the closest to that archetype.

I will cling to my theory that Pyrrha's "Hello Again!" will have some importance in the future (wild mass guessI WANT TO BELIEVEwild mass guess)

Oh and we hadn't have darkfics ideas for a while. So here is an AU where Jaune died instead of Pyrrha and she "pretends" to be Jaune (Spooky stuff)

[up][up]I said shone hero NOW, Yang is the "clasical" shonen hero: like to have fun, dosent worry about anything, like to fight and usually punch stuff.

Jaune is more like protagonist right now: skinny, "weak" who improve over the story, more sensible, people hate those protagonist because their growing take time and usually other chararter who are badass are more fun to watch, also they acuse this chararter to be "otaku pandering"

[up][up]I think Yang who deliver a what the hell hero against Blake, since in her worldview, she left her like a coward after she risk her life(and hand) to save her from Adam, so I expect plenty of Angst around since again, everything is blake faultevil grin

Seriously, i really don't see potential in Bumblebee. Yang looks like she will stay single forever.

Unless she is into bestiality [lol][lol][lol]

[up][up]Well, Yang help blake in season 2 and now risk her life to save her from Adam.

IN fact the reason I want Adam to be something else than abuser is because the whole thing looks like a Bumblebee confort fic: Adam is reveal to be an Abuser who put Blake in a lot of crap, Yang tries to save her and fail, so now there is a lot of Angst and confort between each other and falling in love....ughhh.

Also...since faunus are not people it count like sex or just masturbation? a question for the agesevil grin

Then as a Black cat, she will curse Yang with Misfortune for the rest of her life.

Maybe Blake's hidden superpower is a Kiss of Death that makes the victim suffer with incredible bad Luck. tonguetonguetongue

So I just want to address something: Some people thing that the reason why Blake ran away was because of Adam's threat to destroy everything she loves, and running away would draw him away from her friends. The problem: It wouldn't! I am pretty sure that he can track down Yang's location, he sure knows where Weiss is and he could get information from other White Fang where Team RNJR is. In fact, he would probably be more likely to go after them instead of Blake, because then he can taunt her for not being there to protect them.
