** Pyrrha, being too shy to confess her feelings, simply cultivates a friendship with the object of her affections, hoping he'll someday ask her out. He does ''not'', and her feelings remain unrequited until she actually mans up (in a manner of speaking) and tells him about them.
** Jaune forges academic transcripts and cheats his way into an elite military school, in a shonen-worthy attempt to become a hero. And were it not for [[TheAce Pyrrha]]'s intervention, he would have died on the first day of basic training, since the first test involves being launched into the sky without parachutes, and he didn't have a landing strategy. Though he does improve greatly in terms of combat skill over time, and shows good leadership, he has yet to reach the level of several of his peers, who trained for far longer than he has. Nora teasingly implies that he's the weak link of the team in the third volume.
** Ruby's impulsive, scatterbrained approach to battle nearly gets her hit by one of Weiss's attacks, and nearly again later on by a Deathstalker. While she is incredibly talented with her Crescent Rose scythe, she is fairly ineffective where she's unarmed. She makes some progress in that regard by the end of Volume 5, but barely enough to make a difference.
** Blake's [[HeroicBSOD Heroic B.S.O.D.]]s (guilt) over her traumatic past as a White Fang terrorist once got so bad that her teammates have to remind her to eat and sleep.
** Ironwood supports the idea of recruiting Huntsmen to the military, contradicting their inteded autonomy. Aside from these specialists, the Atlesian military relies heavily on machines, such as flying airships and the RidiculouslyHumanRobot Penny, whose true nature is only known to a select few. When Penny is ultimately killed in her tournament battle with Pyrrha and her nature is revealed to the world, Cinder asks the horrified crowd why Ironwood would ever need a [[OneManArmy killing machine]] [[SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaids disguised as an innocent teenage girl]], which further discredits him, furthering her objective of inciting a panic. And then things get worse for the guy when the (remotely accessible) mechanized units capable of (autonomously?) perating in combat without human involvement get hacked by a malware program Neo planted by Roman via a compromised phone and put under its control (or reprogrammed their targeting/IFF parameters), leaving most of Vale at the villains' mercy.
** Neo, Torchwick's PerkyFemaleMinion, typically fights with ParasolOfPain Parasol of Pain, which also has a SwordCane. During Volume 3 Chapter 11, Ruby is able to defeat her by opening it up to catch the wind, carrying her off of the ship.
** After beating up Ruby, Torchwick pauses to give a huge monologue about how Ruby is a fool because in the real world, heroes don't exist. [[spoiler:All this does is leave him open to being eaten by a Griffon, which (as a [[TheHeartless Grimm]]) is drawn to negative emotions.]]
** Sun ends up finally blowing up at Blake in Volume 4 because of her ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies ideals, stating that their foes can hurt them badly, but it's her constant running away that hurts her friends the worst because she's making the decision to run away and stay away from them without seeing how it will hurt them.
** Raven's plans throughout Season 5 eventually put the Relic of Knowledge within her grasp. However, the reason she wants the relic is supposedly so that she has the power to keep [[BigBad Salem]] away. As Yang points out, revealing herself as the Spring Maiden has painted a giant target on her back, and taking the relic will only make that target even bigger. After realizing this Raven decides to just leave the relic and run like the illogical chicken she is.
** A conflict involving Qrow and Tyrian has multiple aversions of TalkingIsAFreeAction. When Qrow confronts Tyrian, he begins talking in flowery speeches, the two begin bantering. Midway through one of Qrow's taunts, [[CombatPragmatist Tyrian attacks him]]. Later on, after Qrow saves Ruby from a falling wooden beam, and the two share a momentary look of mutual relief... and then [[spoiler: Tyrian stabs Qrow with his stinger tail.]] And ''then'', while Tyrian is laughing, [[spoiler: Ruby cuts off his extended tail]].

* There's no indication that Jaune would have died on his first day. For all we know being forced to land might have activated his Aura and Semblance. We can't trope the road not taken, we can only WMG.
* Ruby doesn't have team-work skills to start with and is the LeeroyJenkins trope, not this one. Lacking unarmed combat isn't this trope, it's a deliberate decision to give the character strengths and weaknesses in combat. Like Yang struggling with kickboxers because she's fist-heavy.
* Blake wasn't going through the HeroicBSOD trope. She was obsessing, and her portrayal was standard obsession.
* Removed Ironwood's military reference. The entry doesn't seem to know what it wants to be and isn't presenting an example of the trope in use.

* Torchwick's fate is definitely not a case of reality ensuing, but it is an example of internal consistency of the setting, which isn't this trope.
* Sun lecturing Blake about how hurt friends feel when a friend runs away isn't RealityEnsues. It's ThePowerOfFriendship as a DiscussedTrope.
* Raven's not a case of RealityEnsues, it's just consistent storytelling of her character type.
* The actions of Qrow, Tyrian and Ruby during the fight are not RealityEnsues, they are various other combat tropes or subversions of tropes. For example, after Tyrian spends his fight against the kids engaging in TalkingIsAFreeAction, when Qrow turns up and starts playing along only for Tyrian to attack mid-sentence; that's subverting that trope, not RealityEnsues. Also, Tyrian and Ruby taking advantage of their enemies being distracted is just tactics. If every fight that uses tactics was troped as RealityEnsues, the page would break every time a fighting tale is troped.
