If they have the staff they might be able to mitigate the damage somewhat.

And Tyrian and Mercury are already there. Maybe we’ll finally meet the summer maiden

Well...

That was a lot of stuff.

Looks like Jinn is out of the picture for the rest of the series with all her questions spent.

Yeah, everyone in Team RWBY is definitely falling at the end of the season. Or at the very least, falling doesn't mean you're just straight up dead.

....Well RIP Jacques, pretty sure that's the end of him.

Damn it Robyn, you have the worst timing. But also Hariet, why do you continue to have to be the worst?

Just wondering how they're going to get Yang back. I mean obviously she's going to come back since she's a main character but still. Damn.

Jacques got what he deserved, and it looks like Winter's going to kill Ironwood.

This is the same series that brutally killed off a main character just as her personal arc was starting up.

You seriously think Yang's still alive? You seriously think RT's above killing off another main character to add to the finale's shock value?

Not sure Pyrrha was a main character. Yang's name is literally in the title. In addition Yang's trapped in the Void between worlds. Pyrrha flat out got incinerated.

Look at her. Her eyes are dull and rolled up. She didn't even try to grab Gambol Shroud. She's completely limp as she falls.

Its over. Yang Xiao Long is Killed Off for Real. Because RT cares more about shocking their audience than telling a compelling story.

We'll see. Still think they're going to pull a comeback of some sort. Cinder fell into a void and now she's back.

All right. Here goes.

The gag of Jaune being thrown through... doesn't make sense? Why? If anything, it would make the most sense for them to throw Emerald through, or for Jaune to volunteer and then react as he did.

The camp civilian who throws the rock is a bit grating with the lack of m/m outside the novels.

So we are definitely going to be in Vacuo next volume. We might not make it to the city, but we're definitely going to be there.

I'm on my second viewing, and I still don't know what Cinder meant by "how did you know about that?"

And countless civilians are thrown into the void. It is interesting how mass death is "family-friendly" iff it's presented with a complete lack of empathy.

...all right, I was wrong about the third question involving Summer. But to be fair, I don't think any of us anticipated the third question being so trivial. Now I'm even more sure that Summer and/or Raven asked the first question, though.

I'm... not even sure what freed Ironwood? Watts?

Aaand Ironwood kills Jacques for no good reason with a BFG. I have an uncomfortable feeling that we're being presented with Trump and Franco and being asked to cheer, however briefly, for Franco. It's just that "brief" cheer that gave the world Franco and his ilk.

So now we know why Arryn was complaining about screaming. And Yang's body dissolves in the ether. I'm sure she's dead. Seriously, though, the only question is this: will she be brought back in the next episode, will the next episode introduce the means of rescuing her, or will we spend an entire volume break pretending she's actually dead?

The single tear is a bit much, Jimmy.

Weiss, this one's on you. Frankly, you as well, Ozpin.

Honestly I'm not a big fan of the constant hope spots and then dashing said hope spots. Having multiple hope spots a volume just ends up getting kind of ridiculous after while.

V7 and 8 have a cycle of "Yay, good thing happen! We feel good now! Aww, bad thing happen and we feel bad now! Yay, good thing happen and we feel good again! Aww, bad thing happen and we feel bad again!". That gets repeated so much that it is kind of investment killing.

[up][up][up][up]

For all the issues I have with the show, stuff like this is why I don't take it's critics seriously.

[up]Fair enough. I'l just say you can't really compare Yang to Pyrrha, because Pyrrha was a character who was so obviously made to die.

So I highly doubt Yang is dead, especially if whole team end up falling.

As James Bond would say about Jacques' death, "Looks like his assets were finally frozen."

If they didn't have the balls to commit to killing off Weiss in Volume 5, I doubt they have the balls to off Yang in Volume 8. Especially when they say that the next volume would be 'trippy'.

Gaogaigar54 Since: Jan, 2020

[up]To be fair that's less them "not having the balls" and more that killing Weiss would have been really fucking stupid.

I just realized how much sheer fanfic material the idea of Yang falling through and into other worlds has.

I'll just point out that Pyrrha's name near-literally translates to Pyrrhic Victory. If anything, she was designed to die early to set the stakes. Also, RT would have to be mad to off one half of their most-pushed LGBT ship with so little fanfare. The internet would eat them alive.

Anyway, that... is a lot of stuff planned for the finale. In no particular order, there's:

  • Penny v. Cinder
  • Ruby v. Neo
    • The two fights can intermingle, too; also, Jaune and Nora still need to evacuate.
  • Oscar, Ren and Emerald v. the Grimm (maybe we'll get The Cavalry from Theodore and friends.)
  • Winter v. Ironwood (what are you guys even fighting over though? The Staff's not in the Vault anymore)
  • Qrow v. Harriet
  • Blake and Weiss are hanging out, kind of unaccounted for
  • Elm and Marrow are presumably on Robyn's ship; Vine's hanging out (literally)
  • Watts still needs to evacuate too...

All of team RWBY fall off into the void, Cinder gets the relic but doesn’t kill Penny, Atlas and Mantle are destroyed by the bomb and not all of Atlas and Mantle survive.

Also pretty sure they killed Velvet’s dad this episode.
