Or their father.

Nothing wrong with male characters called Willow.

That was one of my favourite films when I was a child.

I want to ask, but do Huntsmen use their Aura to augment their physical strikes as well? Aura is somewhat of a barrier for them, so do they also slam that barrier against other Auras when they fight other Huntsmen?

Well, it's been made pretty clear that Ren and Fox incorporate aura into their hand to hand combat, as seen when they've respectively made Grimm explode by punching them, but I'm not sure about when they fight against other Huntsmen.

I mean, their Aura technically surrounds their bodies like a barrier or shield, so hypothetically speaking their "shields" should be bashing against each other when any form of physical contact is made.

I think that it's fair to assume that along the increased toughness (which is almost total for as long as Aura lasts), there would be some other physical improvements. Team RWBY can all at least jump good, for instance. Then again, it might just be setting physics, unless we ever see someone get noticeably weaker after aura break.

Pyrrha said that they channel their aura through their weapons, so yes.

Considering that Pyrrha threw her shield a lot, as well as the javelin/spear, does that mean you can put Aura into something that's a fair distance away?

[up] More like Aura hardens the object.The effect stays even after you throw it. Atleast that 's how I see it.

[up] Agreed, though it's probably not a permanent thing either. On the order of several minutes to hours but for Phyrra's purposes, it's not an issue.

The "new" episode on YT kinda put me off somehow, I dunno why. I still smiled, though.

How long has it been since the Season Book 3 ended, has it been that long that people already miss the Amazon?

It hasn't been all that long.

I expected that after a few seasons without her people wouldn't miss her anymore and get used to her being the sacrifice character that the majority of the show doesn't have, but then again so long as Chibi keeps featuring her and the early season stuff maybe not.

The RWBY team doesn't strike me as the type to let go of a beloved character that easily.

Considering that Pyrrha threw her shield a lot, as well as the javelin/spear, does that mean you can put Aura into something that's a fair distance away?

It's channelling Aura into something that's a 'part' of you (so to speak). My theory is that Huntsmen create their own weapons because they're effectively building in their Aura to their weapons as they make them. Ruby basically said that weapons are effectively an extension of the person, as if understanding the weapon would offer some kind of insight into the true nature of the person by proxy.

In that sense, the weapon is an extension of the Aura, so when Pyrrha's shield or javelin flies from her hand, it's still part of her Aura.

For another example, I can't help thinking that the shield we saw around Ozpin was just his Aura, expanded from his body in a literal version of how Jaune initially imagined Aura (which was as a forcefield).

They're right with Pyrrha's emblem, that was deliberate and her death scene was mostly planned from the start.

Roman has to be coincidence though, he wasn't even supposed to appear past the first few episodes, let alone get eaten. That was something that was supposedly only decided on while they were working on Vol 3.

So, if anyone dies in the future, how will their emblem relate?
