Thas one of those things that sounds impressive at first.

But, all it means is that he can tunnel.

[up]Well yes, but he is a very fast tunneler.

Ok, who let Light Yagami in here?

If you want to swim in ground, you have to be pretty darn fast tunneler. evil grin

On Yang's wound, it was only super stylized fresh after being done, and it was probably her Aura freaking out about how on earth did this guy just pierce through it.

The very next episode you get to see a bloody stump.

"Who gives a flying fuck about the average Joe?"

The heroes do. Or well, are supposed to, but they were training to be hunters/huntresses who's job description is to go out and kill Grimm for the average Joe, even if they die in the process.

One of the parts of Cinder's plan was to turn to civilians against the hunters, so a big part of the next few volumes will be which of the heroes are still willing to risk death for average Joe when the rockstar admiration they had of hunters is gone and they don't like them very much. I suspect a few of them won't be.

And this is supposed to make the Grimm seem threatening to the viewers because...?

Really, the most threatening person in this show right now is either the All Mighty Edgelord Adam or "Shot Through the Heart and She's to Blame" Cinder.

That's probably the point. They're trained to deal with Grimm. They aren't trained to deal with superpowered terrorists. As Qrow suggested that's something they have to work out for themselves.

On Yang's wound, it was only super stylized fresh after being done, and it was probably her Aura freaking out about how on earth did this guy just pierce through it.

See, I don't know about that.

I mean, ''unless it was brought up in a podcast/after show I didn't watch, that shot was really bizarre. To me, that could've gone both ways. They already showed Blake's wound and Yang's, so I can't imagine why showing the blood from Yang's severed arm (especially after they warned that the show would be getting dark) would require a Gory Discretion Shot or that pasta blood Yang had.

It could've just been for stylistic purposes, but I'd find it a little unnerving if every time blood was shown, it was the color of the character that spilled it. And it's not really going to help Ruby since her color is red anyway - unless she never gets seriously wounded at all over the course of the series.

I'd like to think that the yellow blood is supposed to mean something in regards to a person's aura.

Also, we've already seen Grimm getting cut in two, crushed, stabbed, punctured, slashed to ribbons and what have you. They're definitely red inside.

So I'm guessing Yang just got into that Perfect Moonslice Frame.

What this tells me is that Adam is actually a Diglett faunus.

wild mass guess Adam is secretly and evil AU version of Simon the Digger and Aura is actually Spiral Power.

[up] No, that'd be Drilbur or Exadrill.

He could be an Onix. Those things tunnel through the ground at 50 mph.

For the reason reason Blake didn't gush blood when he stabbed her. Or Pyrrha didn't start bleeding when an arrow was shot through her chest. It's a PG rated show (regardless of their intended audience) and they keep blood to a minimum. The shot was stylized so Yang wasn't gushing blood from her stump like a geyser. However Adam flicks some blood off his sword, and she's later shown bleeding pretty bad once they got bandages on it.

I've never looked at the DVD releases, is RWBY actually rated PG?

[up][up] None of them have a rating on their cases, and Amazon lists them as "Unrated." For all intent and purpose though, the show is PG, about the same as your average Star Wars film.

AJSthe2nd Since: Jan, 2015
#37495: Aug 15th 2016 at 10:44:23 AM

It's not actually rated on account of not being a Network production or run thorough the MPAA.

But yeah, the theme they're going for is shonen anime in Japan, Star Wars and Harry Potter eqsue, PG little dark and violent but nothing too extreme for all but maybe very young children. No excessive blood cursing, sexual content or anything like that.

Well, if this show is really that cuddly I guess that explains why fans feel the need to corrupt it. Versus a show like Hellsing or Attack on Titan where fans want to make Highschool AU's.

People always want to turn the tone of series they like to the exact opposite.

It's easier to write stuff like that if you don't think you can be faithful enough.

Doesn't that just make Adam the RWBY version of Lordgenome? Then who's the Anti-Spiral in this scenario? The Kingdoms? Cinder? Salem?
