IIRC Ruby and Jaune's group were going after the White Fang. They were going somewhere. Wasn't the tidbit they got from the White Fang meeting about WF operations in Vacuo? It's pretty much the only lead Ruby has on the bad guys, what with Cinder not being mentioned after the Grimm was frozen.

EDIT: It was Mistral, my bad

Well done.

When you get right down to it, Ruby and Tracer are pretty similar personality-wise. I never bought into the whole "anti-upskirt technology" lego skirts Monty insisted on, and now Ruby definitely isn't wearing a 'combat skirt.' So those two thoughts coalesced.

Digging the new outfits. Ruby looks significantly older, but concept art and in-show models tell two different stories. Blake looks kinda too mature, I don't buy it.

[up][up]That "anti-upskirt tech" is something a lot of series need, can't have your pretty faces be inconvenienced by actual physics.

I think the big thing here is that there's been a timeskip, and Yang still doesn't have a replacement arm.

Well yeah. Yang's probably been moping about at home all that time.

Honestly, if RT has the gall to make Yang having gotten over the loss of her arm (and team) during the time-skip and is a now Handicapped Badass who doesn't need an Artificial Limb, I'm going to be pissed. Especially since last we saw of her, she was in the middle of a Heroic BSoD. Ain't no way that'd be legit.

Except we know there's artificial limbs she could get; if this is years into the future, that calls into question why Taiyang or Qrow haven't done anything to get one for her, or to even help her.

Does she want to be helped?

No one ever explained, nor had any idea what Emerald did to her. When the tournament ended, Yang had attacked an innocent person. Ruby didn't have a chance to explain what happened with Mercury before everything went south, and she seemingly left home that same day.

Even if she did, no guarantee anyone knew what Emerald's Semblance was.

Because this is Yang we're talking about. Thick-headed, stubborn Yang.

They've probably tried but Yang's too stubborn/prideful to do so. She'd probably think it's a crutch or something like that.

And I've got a feeling if she does get a prosthetic, it's after WBY reunite and Blake/Yang patch things up between them.

[up]Actually, there was a couple months between when Ruby woke up and when she left, I think. Ruby might have explained it Yang during the couple-month time-skip, but as I said before: Yang was in a Heroic BSoD during that time. Would she have even acknowledged it? Proooooooooobably not.

I think they said after Volume 3 finished that they are currently using a new animation engine for Volume 4.

I'd love something similar in appearance to the Dot Hack GU Trilogy Movie. RWBY would look great in that style.

Seriously though.

This is what the movie looked like almost 10 years ago. If Rooster Teeth could get a modern version of that engine, it would look amazing.

Personally, I'm just glad we've finally gotten confirmation on Volume 4's release.

Also: I hope these new designs are permanent, because yes.

I think Yang might not have been able to get an artificial arm if the timeskip is only 6 months or something.

Keep in mind that international trade is now shot to hell and the world is on the brink of a massive war. If all the artificial limb stuff is made in Atlas then it's entirely possible it's unavailable to her.

Speaking of the Japanese dub. Season's 2 and 3 are confirmed and are being released together.

Since someone mentioned Japanese dub, I have to mention that I freaking love Yang's version. It's much better than the canon, in my taste.

Team RWBY in general got pretty decent dub, if you ask me. Except Ruby. I like the original so much better.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

Is this Japanese dub available anywhere? I'd like to check it out for the JoJo reference if nothing else.

Interestingly they confirmed the Maiden thing was something only added in Vol 3, and it changed up Pyrrha's story as a result although she'd still have been dusted by Cinder regardless.

Now I wonder what Cinder's initial deal was supposed to be because she clearly still had unusual power even in her first appearance in episode 1.

Also according to guys who saw the teaser.

Ruby can now turn into multiple streams of rose petals to kind of teleport herself which she does to get behind a Grimm.
