Now that you've finished V3 I thought I'd point out that from the team JNPR fought (team BRNZ) only the guy with the shock baton lives. It's mentioned in one of the books that follows CFVY in Vacuo.

2025-03-07 18:59:00 +0000 UTCEven though I'm not super into RWBY anymore, I was for a while during the earlier seasons, and I remember season 3 in particular because my laptop at the time broke midway through and I got spoiled to the big moments of this season before I was able to watch them lmao. But yeah anyway, I'm glad you're having a lot of fun with these. I'll probably binge these reactions at some point in the future

2025-01-10 03:02:06 +0000 UTCin case someone hadn't told you already, the reason some of the beats from season 2 are considered non-canon is because when Monty passed away, he hadn't told anyone what he was planning on doing with those story beats, so the team didnt have much of a choice but to move on without them, the season 2 end credit is often considered a dream sequence or completely non canon for this reason
RiekerVerse
2025-01-07 18:11:44 +0000 UTCThere is a video on YouTube that would be so nice if you reacted after Volume 3. Titled ,,Tribute to Monty Oum by Rooster Teeth". It was put out (I believe) not long after his death... nearly 10 years ago on the Rooster Teeth YouTube channel.
LikeCat
2025-01-04 08:35:26 +0000 UTCThe creator of the show Monty Oum died between season 2 and season 3. The opening scene of Ruby talking to her mother's grave was written in a way to also be speaking to the creator and was a heartfelt message to him. Ren was voiced by Monty Oum and now the role is being played by his brother.

2025-01-03 16:14:46 +0000 UTCI mean, she was also ridiculously sick when she filmed that reaction (2x06). Her missing a single line doesn't detract from the fact that she is typically really good at picking this sorta stuff up.

2025-01-03 13:46:57 +0000 UTCWOW. I guess we all learn something new everyday.
LikeCat
2025-01-03 10:43:50 +0000 UTCWell, since everyone else is covering the mom/dad issue, I'll just say that Team NDGO was part of the Indiegogo crowdfunding and the top four got OC/cameo characters.
Arashi
2025-01-03 08:45:33 +0000 UTCAlright vol 3 here we are! The animation has defiantly improved from the past 2 volumes, better budget does wonders. Yeah it was mentioned once so far at this point in the series but yeah Yang and Ruby have the same dad but different moms.
Alexis Cardillo
2025-01-03 08:34:52 +0000 UTCWHY WOULD YOU TELL HER WHO THE WOMAN IN RED IS?! THAT HASN'T BEEN REVEALED YET. DON'T SPOIL HER WTF

2025-01-02 14:25:25 +0000 UTCAnd, additionally, we ALSO know that all three of them were on a team together at Beacon.
Ben Disney
2025-01-02 13:58:05 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, Elijah! Just a reminder: Ruby and Yang have different mothers, but the same father, not the other way around. The grave Ruby was visiting was HER birth mom's grave, and at this point in the series all we know is that Yang's mom disappeared shortly after she was born.
Ben Disney
2025-01-02 13:57:06 +0000 UTCAnd we have both the power of heign-sight (it is so hard to not - accidentally or not - spoil stuff) and we had time to sit on stuff (i.e. the many long and agonizing heitases between Volumes or in-between a Volume)
LikeCat
2025-01-02 11:42:30 +0000 UTCYes... Patiently. (I both want to see and don't want to see her reaction to the rest of the volume - mainly the second half) This volume is going to - to put it lightly - DESTROY her... And us... Again.

LikeCat
2025-01-02 07:21:32 +0000 UTCyeah I did notice she had forgotten what Yang said back in v2 during "Burning the Candle" about having a different mom than Ruby. but like you said, she's watching multiple shows and I can verify there is a lot of lore in RWBY to keep track of, even in the early days

2025-01-02 07:18:14 +0000 UTCAnyone else been patiently waiting to see her react to this season?
Kendra
2025-01-02 06:36:42 +0000 UTCIn a way, I expected Elijah to be more perceptive than this since she's forgotten simple things like Yang and Ruby having an uncle or different mothers. But she is doing quite a few shows and doesn't write down every little detail like Blind Wave or TheFlamingShark for example

2025-01-02 06:34:33 +0000 UTCHoly Crap! I’ve been waiting for you to get to this season! It’s gonna be huge!

Beowolf Chow
2025-01-02 04:40:51 +0000 UTCJust learned that Arryn, the voice of Blake, also voices Black Swan from honkai star rail who was in that dance video that she reacted to awhile ago. I'm sure someone's already pointed this out but it blew my mind when I found out.
Octavia
2025-01-02 03:32:43 +0000 UTCGod I can’t WAIT for this season lol
Jittercritter
2025-01-02 02:26:22 +0000 UTCBWAHAHAHAHA SHE IS DOWN SO BAD FOR CINDER >:3 god I knew she would be down bad but the way she lost it at Cinder's first spoken lines this volume... totally justified tho I lost it at how she was ready to throw hands for Yang over Emerald calling her a "bimbo" XD like DAMN GIRL! but again, don't blame her. totally right to defend Yang against such slander! I am living for how perceptive she remains about the pieces of lore and even noticing how much more detail is in the animation in this volume. so nice to watch someone getting into this show and approaching it with intelligence and awareness.
Cinder's Apologist
2025-01-02 01:23:52 +0000 UTCI wont confirm or deny any of the allusions for team JNPR but I will say every single one of them is gender swapped from there allusion and all of there allusions have cross-dressed in there stories also id just like to say for the sake of of your worries with Blake and Sun Blake has for love interests over the course of the story but I think you will be happy with where it lands

2025-01-01 22:35:27 +0000 UTCAlso also, this is where we really see how integral the music has become to the storytelling in the show. For example, "All Our Days", a song from Volume 2 about a parent's love for their child, can be heard in the underscore as Ruby wraps up her visit to her mother's cenotaph. Additionally, the music during the fight between teams NDGO and SSSN establishes a clear theme for each, and alternates back and forth depending on who's on screen or who has the advantage at the moment. Oh, and speaking of music, it is standard in RWBY for the intro to come at the end of the first episode of a volume and at the beginning of each episode thereafter. I think it's an anime convention?
Dafydd Mac an Leigh
2025-01-01 22:33:31 +0000 UTCAlso, competitions where age or rank/skill level is irrelevant are actually fairly common, and can be found in such varied disciplines as fencing and bagpipes.
Dafydd Mac an Leigh
2025-01-01 22:20:07 +0000 UTCSo glad you're starting Vol 3! The tournament fights are some of my favorite parts of this volume. One of my favorite characters is introduced in this volume, you already meet him in episode 2, but next episode is where you really get to see him in action! Also I love how protective you are about Yang, can't wait for the next episode! ❤️🤍🖤💛
Bryan Forquer
2025-01-01 22:19:36 +0000 UTCThe animation improves every year, but the really big bump comes after Volume 3 is done. The first 3 volumes are rendered in Poser, which was Monty's preferred software, but the action sequences in Volume 3 pushed the capabilities of Poser to the literal breaking point. So, from the Volume 4 character short onward, the show has been rendered in Maya, which is much more capable of rendering a major fight scene without crashing all the time.
Dafydd Mac an Leigh
2025-01-01 22:17:51 +0000 UTCOK, so I noticed, you're still very confused on the Ruby parent situation.I'll tell you the order and the woman we saw in the non canon ending of volume 2 That is yangs mom Summer rose is ruby's mom Ruby and yang are half siblings I don't know who told you that Yang And Ruby have the same mom They don't. yang see summer more as a mom then her bio mom Since if you remember in volume two yang mentioned that her bio mom left when she was little an summer an her dad mainly raised Ruby an her

2025-01-01 21:17:33 +0000 UTCSame! Throw volume 7 in there and I'm sold!
Nugby
2025-01-01 20:52:27 +0000 UTCAbsolutely agree, most of the best Volumes follow this. I have a special place in my heart for 6, 4, 9, and ESPECIALLY 8 in particular.

2025-01-01 20:48:55 +0000 UTCSo happy to see you getting into V3! I was literally shaking in my seat I was so excited!
man-of-bvz1n3ss
2025-01-01 20:47:42 +0000 UTCI'm so excited now that you're on Volume 3! I love the first two volumes, don't get me wrong, but it gets sooo much better from here on out! This is where the show really hits its stride, imo at least
Nugby
2025-01-01 20:44:04 +0000 UTCElijah, a suggestion that you rewatch on your own the conversation between Yang and Blake in Burning the Candle (volume 2 chapter 6). Also, I'm looking forward to your future reactions - and very much not only this volume.
pneuma163
2025-01-01 19:59:41 +0000 UTCThe lyrics in the intro song (called When It Falls) are so fucking diabolical when you put them side by side to Red Like Roses pt 1. It definitely sets the tone for v3… Jeff and Casey killing it with the soundtrack as always
Rachel Mae
2025-01-01 19:41:04 +0000 UTCWith regards to some of the concerns you voiced, I'll keep to very broad statements to avoid spoilers, but I'll also give a space so people can avoid even vague hints if they want: . . . . . . . . The series creator, Monty Oum, once said "All good romance is earned". And I truly believe that the writers have done a very good job of living up to that sentiment with how they handle romance in the show.
Kitsune Kokoro
2025-01-01 19:40:49 +0000 UTCI never said they gave up they were closed down. The rights were sold to Viz. That's great. Sorry that I thought that it was a Japanese company, but that changed nothing. I hope they continue the show soon
JAMES D'ALESSANDRO
2025-01-01 19:33:15 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to see if you still simp for Cinder at the end of this season. 😈
Phineas5381
2025-01-01 18:46:26 +0000 UTCMan I can never get tired of hearing your theories, only thing I hate is that I can't correct you due to spoilers. I'm so happy you got to see the intro for this Volume, gives you an idea as to what we'll be tackling during the Tournament Hope you enjoy the rest of the Volume
Ko Villa
2025-01-01 18:14:43 +0000 UTCHold steadtfast Elijah, it will only get better from here. So a couple of things: -They improved the engine for this Volume's animation but not overly so, trust us you'll know when the animation gets improved. -Yang and Ruby have the same Dad, different Moms as stated by Yang in Volume 2. -Mercury and Ren have new VA's -The beginning with the Sun and Crows is an homage to Monty Oum's, creator of RWBY, signature. Oum passed away between Volume 2 & 3. -Ren is now voiced by Monty Oum's brother, Neath Oum.
Ko Villa
2025-01-01 18:12:31 +0000 UTCElijah just started this season, but I can't wait for her to get to the finale. But the season in itself is very good. Super excited!
Miss_CJ
2025-01-01 18:07:19 +0000 UTCSomething you might not have noticed cause Nora said it VERY fast during her breakdown but uh... she dropped the fact that she and Ren are orphans with "no home to come back to"
Nektis Noir
2025-01-01 17:01:08 +0000 UTCBe brave and hold on, Elijah. I promise the writers will do you better than just giving us an obnoxious 5th member of team RWBY just for the sake of shipping. You'll have a ton of fun this volume though. People aren't exaggerating when they say it's one of the best of the series.
Kiesen
2025-01-01 16:50:47 +0000 UTCAnd there are songs that are great in context of the scene/ fight that their in, but with the soundtrack version it bring out a WHOLE new meaning. (Im mainly talking about ,,Indomitable" - It still makes me cry.)
LikeCat
2025-01-01 16:44:22 +0000 UTCThis is extremely incorrect on multiple levels. Monty's vision was not changed, the main writers are Monty's friends that have been there from the beginning and have followed his major story points. The 12 volumes idea was a GUESS they made YEARS ago that has since changed cause the volumes have either held back on certain elements or introduced them earlier depending on production or just what feels right. Warner Bros bought Rooster Teeth well before Volume 9. The only reason Volume 9 is currently the last volume is cause 10 had not yet been greenlit and then Rooster Teeth was shut down. RWBY is not owned by a Japanese anime company. It's currently owned by Viz, an American anime and manga distribution company. And the original crew still has full control over the storytelling.
Nektis Noir
2025-01-01 16:43:56 +0000 UTC"Do they share a mom or a dad?" Dad. They have different birth mothers. Though Yang considers Summer Rose and her birth mom as both moms in her life because the latter left her not long after birth so Summer was the one who actually raised her
Nektis Noir
2025-01-01 16:35:59 +0000 UTCNot sure if it's been mentioned before, but the intros are shown for the first time at the end of the first episode of each volume. A good thing because it avoids you getting "spoiled" of stuff that happens in the first episode (especially helpful for one particular volume, of which the intro spoils a big thing in the first episode). Also, it's sort of "thing" to react to each soundtrack after each volume, but not everyone does that, it's just fun to watch because the songs are not just bangers, they also bring some context/hints/foreshadowing (despite them mostly being written by Jeff Williams without input or lore correction from the writers iirc).
SauceyRed
2025-01-01 16:35:51 +0000 UTCSo in case you’re curious, the birds in the sun are an homage to Monty Oum, resembling his signature
EDHPlayer
2025-01-01 16:17:52 +0000 UTCBit of a "fun" fact: In the original animation when Taiyang (Ruby and Yang's dad) was shown at the start when Ruby looked at him, he looked almost like a statue, but you're watching the Blu-ray versions, for which they went back and improved some parts. Unfortunately they removed a Wilhelm scream that was originally included in a scene a couple episodes ago.
SauceyRed
2025-01-01 16:15:48 +0000 UTCJust an FYI, the animation change wasn't because Monty passed away. It was because once RT saw that they show was doing well, they decided to invest more money into it
Miholiday
2025-01-01 14:55:34 +0000 UTCThe first two seasons were a test to see how good the show would do and since the show was popular they decided to spend more money on the animation. That's the reason why the animation got a huge upgrade this season
Miholiday
2025-01-01 14:52:44 +0000 UTCJust to set things straight, They never gave up and leaving things at 9 volumes, RT just needed outside funding and then Warner bros shut Rooster teeth down. Also RWBY didn't get bought by a japanese anime company. RWBY got bought by Viz which is an American company that specialises in publishing manga, and distribution and licensing Japanese anime, films, and television series.
BrightHeart
2025-01-01 14:06:59 +0000 UTCBoth Ren and Mercury has new voice actors since volume 2. I don't know the reason why Mercury's VA changed, but now he's voiced by Yuri Lowenthal. Ren on the other hand used to be voiced by Monty Oum himself, but he passed away before they went about recording Ren's lines for this volume, so from now on he's voiced by his brother Neath Oum instead. Oh, and for the record, Yang and Ruby have different mothers but the same father. As we saw from his brief cameo here, Yang got the blonde genes from their dad while Ruby did not. Yes, Nora is based on Thor from Norse mythology, if the giant hammer wasn't a big giveaway...though also taking some notes from Freya as well. Fun fact: while Mercury sniffing the boot in that one scene is used to just make him seem weird, that actually is a legitimate way to tell the quality of leather.

2025-01-01 13:56:27 +0000 UTCThat ,,Dark Yang" theory of yours is... Interesting to say the least. I cannot confirm nor deny it, because of Spoilers.

Liam Gradwell
2025-01-01 13:48:20 +0000 UTCFinally we have the intros
LikeCat
2025-01-01 13:44:50 +0000 UTCUnfortunately after Monty passed they changed his vision a bit. He apparently left a guidelines of what he wanted to do with the series, but it wasn't detailed enough. I hear that there are supposed to be 12 volumes. Sadly after Warner Brothers bought Roosterteeth they gave up on the whole thing leaving RWBY stuck with 9 volumes. An anime company in Japan bought the rights to RWBY last year. I assume they plan to finish it. It might also be the reason the show is hard to find now. It was on Crunchyroll, but now it's nowhere. Idk if the world of Remnant videos are something you can find on YouTube, but if you want to understand more about abilities and some lore there are a few that can be watched now. They are short videos explaining things like dust kingdom, and even faunus. The animation has improved a bit, as it has and will with each volume but the big jump up starts next volume (my favorite just ahead of v6). There is a character short to watch before you start volume 4. It's similar to the trailers that you watched. Also, they put out a show called RWBY CHIBI after this volume that we got to watch between volume 3 and 4. They did it again between volumes 4&5, and volumes 5&6. I suggest watching them in that way. They are short 5 to 7 minute episodes that are very cute and funny.
JAMES D'ALESSANDRO
2025-01-01 13:38:54 +0000 UTCThe appearance on the train is canon, but the second appearance after the credits is not anymore, because Monty passed away without telling any of the other writers what he intended to do with that particular character. So they had to come up with a new plotline for her that didn't fit that post-credit screen anymore, so they said that was just a dream Yang was having
Andy
2025-01-01 13:34:49 +0000 UTCthe birds and sun at the end of the first scene actually line up to match the creator Monty Oum's signature. He sadly passed away in February of 2015, with V3 premiering in october.

2025-01-01 13:16:48 +0000 UTCOk that "Dark Yang" thing IS Canon. Idk why people said otherwise. Not gonna say much more than that. Love the reaction❤️❤️❤️
Wilson Reeves
2025-01-01 13:14:57 +0000 UTCJust to answer your question, its not the same mother, its same dad, different mother. Yang talks about their different mothers and Yang's leaving after she was born back in V2C6 "Burning the candle."
BrightHeart
2025-01-01 13:12:16 +0000 UTCSo I do not know if anyone has told you this, but the openings and soundtracks are a big part of the rwby fandom. The openings change each volume, and the soundtracks of each volume add more insights to characters and their struggles that are not mentioned in story
