That's the biggest problem with it, yeah. But just look at them. They look almost identical aside from having different clothes. They could practically be identical twins.

Similar character models means basically nothing given contradictory evidence. Like the fact that they don't even sound alike.

Edit: Also, thinking about it, Wasn't even kicking his ass in a normal sense. Mostly she was just dodging and parrying, with it clearly taking effort to do that. The time dilation ping-pong was the only really solid move she got in.

They also have the same hair / head-shape. But their body model is basically identical, yeah.

I don't really have any stock in the theory anyway. It was just something I saw pointed out elsewhere at around the same time I saw this conversation

That's such an odd, out of place thing to do for two characters that don't really matter.

Last page: I could see them helping train Oscar personally, I'd probably like that.

the thing with banesaw is that it feel....odd who she grap Wiss, she dominate the fight the entire time until suddenly "lol nope", like if the story suddenly got a hold on the animation, which got back to Monty who was the one behind the train fights.

I don't really remember how the climax of season 2 went down, so I can't weight in on the quality of the episodes. I do think no one's incorrect for their interpretations on it though.

finally caught up and finished the volume

i really liked it. i think i was a tad too giddy when Ren and Nora held hands and a classical version of "Boop" started playing

that scene with Yang was amazing. i love how there was this long period where you weren't sure if Yang decided to go after Ruby or to go after her mother, but in the end Yang decided that family was more important and aaaaaaaaa

anyway super excited for volume 5

Also, it's weird for a sign to have "Bandits" written over it. The bandit tribes are supposed to be constantly roaming, looking for new villages to sack and because their own negative emotions would definitely attract Grimm to them if they were sedentary. Even just saying they're in that general direction probably isn't going to be true for too long.

I assumed banesaw’s hit to weiss’ back is what sent her flying into blake’s car. Like I said, Ike vs Metaknight

The potential danger with Oscar is the fact he's just inherited a cane with time distortion abilities (according to the creators). That means he could wind up in one of those time compression spaces where he can train in 'x amount' of time while a mere day passes for the rest of Remnant.

I can't remember the trope name of that.

[up][up] I notice that 'bandits' is written in pink. I'm guessing that's Nora's doing. It's easier to tell people not to go there by saying 'bandits' than it is to try and example what the real problem was (although 'Grimm' would have done it just as easily).

[up][up][up] What I found funny about the hand holding scene is that when Ren grabs Nora's hand, even the music stops in shock for a moment.

Oh, so it's the cane itself with the time powers?

Apparently, during some Volume 3 commentary they said the cane is able to "store time". They didn't clarify what that actually means, though.

All we know is that it does have some time distortion/storage capacity. For all we know, Ozpin could have been pumping his own time powers into the thing. Or perhaps there exists Time Dust (we still don't know what the purple crystal is that Salem lives with - I'm sure that's the 'fifth element', so to speak — probably one most people don't know exists). Anyway, it doesn't by itself tell us anything about Ozpin's abilities, or what the ultimate purpose of the cane is.

And, yes, I think someone said it was on the Volume 3 DVD commentary somewhere. Someone with the DV Ds might need to confirm that, however.

Probably the Director's commentary. I'll watch it later on tonight or tomorrow to check.

Anyway, I wonder how much of the bad blood between Taiyang and Qrow (mostly on Tai's side, it seems) is because of all of this. He was presumably mumbling about telling Tai that Summer (or maybe Raven?) wasn't coming back. And then he told Yang about Raven despite being asked repeatedly not to. And probably did the same thing with Ruby's silver eyes.

I wonder if there's anything else.

[up]is intersting that for a guy who kept scret like Qrow, he got bad blood for telling thing to their nieces.

Also, is just me or the fight with the nuck was very videogame like? I swear I put a life bar the first part of the fight.

I'm not sure there's much bad blood between Qrow and Taiyang, though. The only instance of friction we've explicitly seen came from Qrow requesting a private conversation with Ruby after she'd been in a coma for ages, and Taiyang was reasonably bothered. Aside from that, he was close enough to be the cool uncle to the girls.

weiss mentioned that she's been working on time dilation to winter (which we see when blake deals with the macross missile massacre during the rwby vs torchwick fight), so if that's just an advanced dust thing, then that fits into the cane
