But see if we start doing that for everyone.

Like, we could start calling Cinder Scarlet, Ruby "Rubel", Yang is "Boobie Lady," Weiss becomes "Wonderweiss." I mean names like Ice Queen, P-Money, Juane, Crazy Ice Cream Flavored Umbrella-Wielding Psychopath, those are easily understood.

Black keeps making me think there's a gender-swapped version of Blake somewhere.

I mean, I'ma still say Team Robert dowNey JunioR, but the rest of you should knock it off with these name changes.

But nobody here is using their own version of character names for everyone. I don't see any meaningful problem here.

Now, if Blake was a black character, calling her Black might be...a bit unfortunate.

[up][up] Black is a pretty innocent way of nicknaming Blake

Better than "Useless cat" or "Worst Teammate ever" (Hey, there hasn't been a Blake joke in a while. And i haven't been watching Chibi RWBY lately)

By "the rest of you" you just mean Randomness...who sticks to pretty minute changes.

"Worst Teammate ever"

[up] Well I didn't know who else was doing it, just went with "you all."

Chibi RWBY lately)

Chibi Blake is actually pretty awesome. She stole Bumblebee and like a crapload of other stuff with her team mates still in the room.

On Yang: Close-Range Combatant, perhaps? The other three have ways to get around in ranged combat, whether by superior firepower or their melee weapons having actual range. Sure, Yang can fire shotgun shells, but we all know how videogame shotguns work.

Back on the topic of predictions for the future of the plot, one of the reasons I have a sneaking suspicion Yang might end up turning (at least temporarily) evil is because of the antagonistic relationship between the sun and the moon in many culture's mythologies. I vaguely recall some stories where the sun and the moon are siblings with All That Tends to Entail in Mythology.

With Yang, the connection to the sun is as obvious as can be; her name literally means "Sun (Little) Dragon", but there's definitely at least reason to think Ruby has a moon motif in addition to her rose motif; the color silver is one major link, and then there's the fact that her design was meant to be "wolfish" in some respects.

Also, her weapon is called Crescent Rose.

[up][up]What is taken from your post: Yang is lone Dragon, Rwby is Wolf pack leader. This will lead to conflict.

So according to subtitles in Episode 7 of RWBY Chibi, White Rose is canon and Ren is an airbender.

I'm going to assume those are just jokes since Chibi doesn't exactly take itself seriously.

I think he means Episode 9. Bumblebee is mentioned in the subtitles in Episode 8 (when Blake and Yang give the same reaction to seeing the shopkeeper cleaning the floor of the super secret vault), and when Pyrrha ruffles Jaune's hair during the tag scene, the subtitles say *You're mine tonight.*

My favourite subtitle is in Episode 8. When the shopkeeper is cleaning the floor of the super secret vault, the subtitles say:

*When we next see the intrepid shopkeeper, he will be cleaning up the blood of the fall maiden*

I could potentially see Yang starting to become hostile to Ruby. One of which is how often the plot seems to be on Ruby's side, and how everyone flocks to her and treats her special, where as Yang had the plot be nothing but an enemy to her in Vol 3 (ex, Ruby runs off half cocked runs into Torchwick, Grimm randomly eats him and she gets to save the day. Yang runs off half cocked, runs into Adam, gets her hand chopped off. Both of them acted recklessly, but Ruby wasn't punished by the plot where as Yang was.)

Yang might start actively resenting her because of this, especially if Blake for whatever reason ends up teaming up with Ruby again.

[up]The diference is plot save ruby as Roman show her the true meaning of ultraviolence while Adam show Yang the edge side of his sword

Also Ruby is still optimistic which Yang now could thing is just bullshit: she lost her mother(who dosent seen to care about her) them whole stadium turn against her, them all shit going on, she lost her arm try to save Blake and them she run away, couple with fact Phyrra die for some maiden bullshit they dont even know it!

So yeah, more than a villian I see Yang as sort of antagonist, being mad at everyone for what is happening

[up][up]Rwby gets beat up more than Yang does, she might feel happy about that.

Also what? Is that how you want to balance the tone, with some 4th wall notice?

New Chibi where Renora is all but canon, Ren is oblivious and Ruby is an alternative artist.

Wait, so they actually hid some jokes in RWBY Chibi's closed captioning?

That's genius! I've only seen one other Youtube series use the closed captioning as an easter egg like thing before, which is HOOH/[Everybody Screams in the Dark]. But in that case, it was done more for the ARG's lore then to hide jokes.
