[up] Alternatively, Emerald starts getting second thoughts, and ends up getting a Heel–Face Door-Slam, which, in spite of their rivalry He Doesn't Take Well, which starts him on the path to an actual Heel–Face Turn.

Mercury is less a sadist and more of a "I dont give a shit" kind thing, he seen to have a personality of "what it will, it will", Roman think the bad guy will win so he swich, Cinder and Adam have a grunge against sociaty for some reason or another and Emerald is atach to Cinder even when is clear she mistreat her.

Or maybe Mercury will defect first and become chaotic neutral before becoming chaotic good. And Emerald will follow his example

Or maybe he won't defect and in a possible rematch...Yang will break his Robot legs and leave him for the deads.

[up]consider he thrw the last match...I doubt ittongue

In fct I want the show to avoid that "and them the good chararter destroy the evil one and go away" is highly cliche

Mercury doesn't strike me as the really death-fearing type, but I could see him bailing if the going gets too genocide-y for his tastes.

Personally, I think it'd be Emerald who switches first, and them maybe Mercury following her to the good guy's side because he likes pissing her off, and trying to kill her would stop that [lol]

Also, if Bumblebee doesn't become canon I really want to see Mercury/Yang be a thing. A Slap-Slap-Kiss relationship between two cocky Blood Knights who get on each other's nerves? Yes please [lol]

... also, what's the couple name for that one anyway? The link for Idiosyncratic Ship Naming in the RWBY YMMV page says it's "Disabler" but I feel there's a few others.

[up][up][up]It's just as cliche for the hero to save the bad guy from death after beating them.

Maybe they shouldn't fight at all and he dies via other some other way.

Who's to say they aren't already okay with killing another person?

That sounds like an unnecessary step.

[up] Have him surrender then, and have Yang ignore him and blow his brains out. There's a difference between killing somebody in a fight and killing somebody whose no longer able to fight back.

For me Yang is going to be more agresive and Mercury is the perfect way, imagine him surrending and Yang keot hitting him in blind rage, with everyone see her.

Yeah, because Yang totally would do the same thing again. It's like you all think she's just Dumb Muscle who doesn't learn from her mistakes. Would fighting Mercury cause Yang to go nuts because of what he caused her? PROBABLY. Would she kill him, after trying to clear her name that she's not a violent thug? Probably not.

[up]Not before but she will fed out of everyone else, and being more cynical, this volume explore a little big her issue with being reckless, maybe that let to something?

Okay but Yang is definitely not the type to do that

Like, that's definitely dark and edgy for edginess's sake

[up][up][up][up]Yes, but enough to kill him after kicking his ass? Probably not.

[up][up][up]No, still not funny!

[up]You forget, the FNDM has decided that because Volume 3 had Cerebus Syndrome RWBY will forever be an uber grimdark series that would make even the worst members of Games Workshop go "Dude, chill the fuck out".

While I don't think the show would go there, I've been wrong before. And Yang finishing off a downed Mercury would make for a very nice parallel to V 3 E 7. If they're gonna start Yang down a darker path (which we have no idea if they will), it's as good a start as any.

[up][up]Honestly, I feel that all the shit that Yang's gone through will do the opposite in that she's going to go down the "lighter" path. Would she be a Knight in Sour Armor though? Oh hell yes [lol] She's not Ruby

Dumb Muscle is a bit extreme.

After protecting herself from a "Vision"...with Self Defense, that doesn't sound the same as being ruthless.

Everyone else just thinks she is.
