They said that Grimm haven't been studied because they disappear when they die or something, but couldn't you capture one and put it under anesthetic? Or not I guess. Depending on if it works.

They can capture one...one of the more smaller...tinier ones.

The teacher guy with a mustache for a mouth used a caged grimm for a test.

They might just keep dying.

You think there's any hardcore restaurants where Grimms are tied alive, and the chefs cut off their flesh and serve to customers, who are required to eat it as fast as possible? evil grin

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

It use to be common practice, to hunt grimm for food...until they discovered regular animals.

Also...I would think they still may die, I doubt Grimm meat taste that good. That black dust they evaporate into might be poisonous.

I doubt that people who gobbles up sliced pieces taken from alive Grimm care much for health, safety, and sanity in general. evil grin

@random That's what gave me the idea actually. But if they die, somehow, this probably means Grimm probably have very poor vital systems they're just very durable to make up for it.

@Crossovers One i'd like to see is with Guilty Gear. Mainly because I think the series does have enough in common, plus they've been using a Cel art style since Xrd.

A corpse should be left well enough alone...

I mean, you can eat a really highly poisonous fish in Japan if you're feeling lucky. It's not even that good, supposedly, so people do it for the thrill of not-dying.

People eat treebark when truly desperate, so perhaps Grimmflesh used to be one such desperate food source.

I am rather certain that Grimm don't have flesh. Or muscles. Or meat. Or bones. Or any intestines. basically, instead of viewing them as organic beings, they are more like constructs.

For those of such inclination, I have now learned, thanks in no small part to Reddit, that there is indecent material of Yang making the best of her arm situation and working through her depression.

I giggle because it's one of the first things that would probably come to mind in that situation. Poor girl can't even play video games, unless Remnant has those quadstick thingies. Reading books would be a chore, and television gets stale after awhile.

Fed-Ex doesn't deliver to small island nations maybe?

Sarif Industries is too busy with the mess in Atlas to expedite delivery?

-

Another thought: Roman and Cinder's plan.

The plan was to launch the train into Vale, scaring everyone around the time of the Vytal Festival. Torchwick launched early so Cinder improvised and had Yang and Penny pull in the Grimm? The plan was always to have Ironwood's robots show up and Order 66 the f'ck out of Beacon.

While the finale was an anticlimax, Cinder was kind of right, the plan went well, Xanatos Speed Chess and all (as an aside, I haven't seen or even linked to that trope in probably a year) Scaring the public was what got Ironwood into office. Not having done that, Ozpin would've had more control, and presumably the Atlesian Knights would've been outside of Vale instead of dropping in on matches like a SWAT team.

I think Yang and Pyrrha's - or to be more general, whichever Vale students made it to the Singles round - fights were always part of the plan. They were designed with the intent to show how Vale and Beacon were training their Huntsmen to be anywhere from dishonorable to downright murderous. Pyrrha was always going to end up killing somebody, Cinder just arranged for that person to be Penny after she found out she was a robot because it provided an extra slam against Atlas and Ironwood.

Dishonoring Pyrrha didn't seem like it was a part of the plan (or the plan was changed), as Cinder's speech was more focused on Penny's robot status and discrediting Atlas.

At least, that's what I remember. I haven't seen that episode in a while.

I think Cinder has frustratingly vague motivations right now and a frustratingly vague goal as well. Why is she messing up Beacon? Why did she need Dust? Why does she need Maiden powers?

People speculate that she may have a backstory like Cinderella's

[up] And she's one of the step-sisters.

But to get into personal head canon, I think Cinder in the end is really just motivated by nihilism. I know, Disappointed by the Motive in a meta kind of way, but at the same time, it would sort of be interesting. Like ever since her big speech after Penny's death, I just can't view her as someone who has actually a deep motive. Like she talks how the system is corrupt, but in reality, she thinks that the whole world is shit and everyone should just wake up.

Besides, when did fairy tale villains have deep motives?

Nah they would pull a roman on her.

"I can potentially be a more in-depth character" speech when she is beating a MC. Only to be unceremoniously killed by something.

No. I'm totally not salty on how Roman died

That'd be OOC if she died...like that.

I don't think Pyrrha could have been illusioned into killing anyone else it only worked so well because magnets were death against Penny. And even then it mostly worked because she was in a bad headspace because Ozpin approached her to be the maiden and Jaune unintentionally hinted he thought Pyrrha should give her personality up for the greater good.

In fact other than Penny Pyrrha pretty much could have crushed the rest of the competition without much effort, and no illusion really would change that. The only one that could have rivaled her was Mercury and Cinder wasn't going to sacrifice him.

That's assuming Cinder didn't only want Penny and Penny alone destroyed either because Emerald might get squeemish at the idea of killing a real person directly, or they just wanted the rest of the major hunters alive for whatever reason.

#37000: Jul 14th 2016 at 6:00:59 PM

[up] And, really, the only reason why Pyrrha was so devastating to Penny was because of Penny's own design flaws - mostly those wires she used to manipulate her swords (although her clutching her heart backed up the magnet joke to indicate she was too vulnerable to magnetism).

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.
