The original volume 1 of Fixing Ruby was an important landmark for me. Not only was it my first major attempt to repair a property that I loved, but it was also the 100th video on my channel. It was
00:11
Speaker A
also the start of my steady descent into insanity, so I guess we'll call it a wash. Regardless, I'm happy to present to you today with punched-up writing, a fresh coat of paint, and crisp clean sound, Fixing Ruby Volume 1. So sit back, relax,
00:28
Speaker A
and enjoy, conai everyone. [Music] There's a line of cross and there's no return. There's a time in a place, no brides, the innocents, when in the end you fail to save them. Ending then it turns down for like, that's when you learn you've been
01:01
Speaker A
messing with God. Dream to we again when all you see is all you need right now. World just the child. [Music] [Applause] Volume 1 of Ruby is a formative bedrock for the fandom. So my original intent in fixing it was to allow some of the more
01:53
Speaker A
complicated elements to breathe while shoring up some of the more obnoxious shortcomings. The heart of that treatment still persists within this remaster, as does about all of the same content: the plot, character, and themes. For my first go-around, they persist basically one to one.
02:07
Speaker A
What has changed are largely superficial elements: additional art from a sketchy huntsman, better audio quality, cleaner editing, and a more refined vocabulary. The only substantive changes to the content of the scripts will be expansion upon the details of many different
02:21
Speaker A
scenes and the condensing of the relevant information from the lore and history videos into the actual volumes. Going forward, those two videos specifically were early videos in the development of this project, intended to quickly explain the differences between
02:34
Speaker A
the canon setting and what would become the world of Fixing Ruby. They also established lore that's present for me as a writer to pull from should I ever have need of it, not necessarily elements that would ultimately be used. This
02:46
Speaker A
understandably confused some people, as what was delivered in those expository videos was not necessarily what would have been diegetic, delivered by the characters to the audience. The relevant exposition in those videos will now show up where it should have diegetically shown
02:59
Speaker A
up in my original scripts, given the more detailed style this project has developed for itself. Along with that, by expanding on details in many different scenes, we've hopefully reduced the amount of familiarity one needs with the original source material. Still, I highly
03:13
Speaker A
recommend, nay encourage, seeking out Ruby's official release and giving it a watch for yourself. Not only will it help you understand some of the odds and ends of this rewrite, but it's also just an interesting, if not enjoyable, watch all
03:24
Speaker A
its own. Starting off with the trailers for the show, one of the things I can credit Ruby as a series for doing is using its advertising to add to the show's narrative. One of the key draws was that the original four trailers
03:35
Speaker A
contributed story and character details that would serve us, the viewer, down the road to the point that they're easily considered required watching. While this practice has since fallen to the wayside, with the odd reemergence for volumes 4, 5,
03:48
Speaker A
and 6, it was an ingenious bit of planning that no doubt contributed to building Ruby's fan base very quickly. The original four trailers were pretty damn engrossing and raised plenty of questions that would be touched on later
03:58
Speaker A
in the series. Unfortunately, many of these elements don't come to any kind of fruition until two or three volumes after the first of the red, white, black, and yellow trailers. Only the black trailer proved to have any kind of
04:09
Speaker A
narrative weight for the first volume. You could make the argument that the yellow trailer did as well, but that's only because the first volume's antagonist makes an unspoken cameo at the start of it. It's not necessary for these trailers to actually tie into the
04:22
Speaker A
main story, of course. They're just trailers, and they served their purpose of introducing us to the principal cast. So fixing them in the long run only requires some careful tweaking. The red trailer for Ruby is iconic, and I'd wager
04:35
Speaker A
it was the hook for most members of my audience. With no words, we were introduced to Ruby Rose, a ghostly red figure standing against the cold white and blacks of a cliffside in the dead of winter. She's giving reference to her
04:47
Speaker A
mother's tombstone. While the first notes of Red Like Roses Part One play, she retreats into the monochrome forest, and we let the lyrics of the song carry most of the scene. This is all before she emerges into a clearing and is
04:58
Speaker A
confronted by wolf-like humanoids with pitch-black fur and blood-red eyes and teeth. Bale wolves were werewolf-like manifestations of a type of monster called Grim that plagued the world of this show. We'll learn more about them later in this volume. At the apex of the
05:14
Speaker A
song, Ruby pulls out Crescent Rose, a mechanical wonder of a weapon that can shift between a modular scythe and a high-powered sniper rifle. Almost danike, Ruby dispatches the wolf monsters, who dissolve against her attacks, ending the conflict with a flurry of attacks
05:28
Speaker A
demonstrating an incredible amount of speed and dexterity. We end on a lingering shot of her posing in the middle of the field as shell casings rain down around her. This trailer is quite simple but remains superb, and every fight in the show has been
05:42
Speaker A
rightfully measured against this one since it aired. The only addendum for the purposes of fixing the show surrounds the Bale wolves. I'll clarify now that the ones featured in this trailer are fledglings who lack both experience and the bony carapace that will become iconic
05:56
Speaker A
for most Grim later in the series. This is why it's so easy for Ruby to dispatch them despite not even being fully trained in combat. Ruby's also notably more winded than she was in the original version of the trailer, though she
06:08
Speaker A
maintains her confident and playful demeanor throughout the fight. The white trailer introduces us to Weiss Schnee, both in and out of universe. With an announcer, the almost literally glowing girl in white with a distinct scar over her eye steps onto a stage and begins to
06:22
Speaker A
sing Mirror Mirror, yet another banger song from this show. As the song lulls, we do a smooth transition through the ground to show a flashback where the main portion of the music kicks in. We are treated to a fight between a
06:35
Speaker A
scarless Weiss and a giant suit of armor. Similarly to Ruby, Weiss demonstrates a great amount of dexterity and speed in the fight, even demonstrating an ability to parry the armor's gigantic sword with a combination of magic glyphs and a
06:47
Speaker A
rotating cylinder on her rapier that seems to imbue it with magic properties. Weiss emerges victorious. It's not a perfect victory, however, as a punch from the armor is what gave her the iconic scar over her eye that we saw while she was
06:59
Speaker A
singing. How Weiss got her scar in the original was completely fine, though we're definitely taking a little more care so her blood drip lines up with the actual scar, so as to not confuse the entire fandom for years to come on when she
07:13
Speaker A
actually got her scar. We transitioned back to her performance, where she's met with a roar of applause. In the original, this is where the curtains closed and the trailer ended. In our fixing, we're adding a quick cut to three members in
07:25
Speaker A
the crowd, all heavily shadowed to prevent the need for character designs. These are her siblings Whitley and Winter, as well as their father Jock. We'll meet all these characters later, but for now, we're given a cryptic nod from Jock and a closeup of Weiss to show
07:39
Speaker A
that she saw it. This all further hints at the Royal test mentioned in the lyrics of Red Like Roses Part One and implies some level of familial pressure on Weiss from the outset. It's after this that Weiss bows and the curtains close,
07:52
Speaker A
and the trailer ends. Our next trailer is the black trailer, and it's here we start to see more significant changes that will have ripple effects throughout the whole volume. The trailer starts with a camera panning down into a forest of
08:04
Speaker A
black trees wi-
08:16
Speaker A
into frame and together the two take off into the forest the two arrive at a cliff face and descend onto a passing train cutting their way in once they land on it inside they're met by automated robotic sentries and what
08:28
Speaker A
follows is the two sweeping their way up the train as a tag team slicing through the automated opposition with speed and Grace upon reaching a new compartment and discovering a box of resources the man Adam orders Blake to go further up
08:41
Speaker A
the train while he sets explosives she pauses and asks about the crew on the train and Adam responds what about them giving Blake a moment of pause and distress before she can follow up on that question the pair are attacked by a
08:56
Speaker A
giant tetrapod Droid that drops down from the ceiling we are thrust into into another action scene where Blake has to distract the robot while Adam reades a finishing attack after absorbing the robot's main Cannon blast into his blade
09:07
Speaker A
Adam sends out a powerful Moon slice that obliterates the Droid as Adam goes to rejoin Blake on the next flat car she looks up atam and apologizes before cutting it Loose implicitly protecting the crew from Adam's explosives from
09:21
Speaker A
Adam's perspective we watch Blake Fade Into the distance becoming a black silhouette amongst the red leaves she turns and walks towards the front of the train fiddling with something around her ears that we can't make out fans of Ruby
09:33
Speaker A
will notice a major element missing in this version of the Black trailer Blake's signature bow in the original version Blake wearing a bow in her hair makes very little sense we'll learn later that people with animal features the fonus are an oppressed class in this
09:47
Speaker A
world so wearing a disguise to cover her ears makes sense were she not surrounded by other faest already and actively participating in terroristic actions and if her intent was to run away from Adam why would she wear her disguise to the
10:02
Speaker A
mission by having her Dawn the bow at the end of the trailer when she's out of ishot of adom it makes a more convincing disguise this also changes the dynamic between Blake and the audience during the first volume we are now in the know
10:15
Speaker A
of a new fact that most characters aren't allowing us to contextualize Blake's behavior on the Fly instead of in retrospect now let it be known that I liked the Blake reveal in volume 1 it was one of the best setup reveals in the
10:29
Speaker A
entire series but I feel that doing this not only avoids pesky little plot holes but also opens up new forms of tension and dramatic irony to explore when we finally arrive at Beacon now with the most substantial changes out of the way
10:42
Speaker A
the following yellow trailer needs only a few adjustments and that's mainly so one of our main cast doesn't end up with a wrap sheet like she should have in the original the trailer opens on a bright yellow motorcycle being driven by a
10:55
Speaker A
blonde bombshell parking she confidently walks her way into a nightclub a fiery gold Beacon against the club's dark interior the girl Yang xia long strolls through the room playfully scanning it as she does and pulling a touchscreen phone like device called a scroll from
11:10
Speaker A
her pocket she approaches the club's bar where four distinct figures can be seen a man in a black suit a man in a white jacket and twin girls in matching red and white outfits Yang subtly takes a picture of the group as the man in the
11:24
Speaker A
white jacket leaves before approaching the man in the black suit the man junior is the proprietor of the bar and after a little playful dialogue from Yang she decides to jump to the chase Junior allegedly knows everything pulling up
11:38
Speaker A
the image of a blackhaired woman on her phone she asks if he's seen her Junior dismisses Yang saying he doesn't know anything about the woman in the picture in return Yang playfully asks are you sure here have another photo of
11:52
Speaker A
hops and flicks to the next picture on her phone of Junior meeting with the man in white is that a picture of you with notorious criminal Roman torchwick man that really get the police's attention wouldn't it it'd be a shame if a
12:06
Speaker A
concerned citizen sent this to them Junior immediately orders one of his men to take the phone only for Yang to quickly twist the man's arm it's here that Junior recognizes Yang as some kind of Huntress and orders the club gor to
12:19
Speaker A
file out the bulk of his guards begin to crowd in around Yang keeping cool Yang playfully says they can just kiss and make up she leans in to invite said kiss and dumbly Junior Falls for it leaning in himself what follows is Yang punching
12:34
Speaker A
Junior all the way back to the bar and engaging all of Junior's goons in hand-to-hand combat highlights include beating up a dead mouse knockoff DJ fighting milcha and Melanie malachite with their harmonized blade fighting styles and taking on Junior with a
12:49
Speaker A
rocket launching bat the fight ends when some of Yang's hair gets torn off and she quite literally explodes with anger rushing forward to knock Junior out of the building and onto the street Yang walks out and straddles Junior demanding
13:02
Speaker A
answers only to realize he's been knocked out cold she drops him to the ground saying he's useless before a confused Ruby comes walking down the street she greets Yang before asking what she's doing there the trailer ends as Yang Peters off while saying that
13:16
Speaker A
it's a long story the changes made here are minor but they go a long way towards establishing several facts about the setting for one Junior appears to be an upstanding businessman who has a reputation to keep publicly Roman
13:30
Speaker A
torchwick is a major criminal element that Junior Associates with Infamous enough to damage that reputation Yang meanwhile is willing to flaunt the law if it means she'll accomplish her goals and she's Street wise enough to know how to flirt with the deeper end of veil's
13:43
Speaker A
criminal underbelly she's smart resourceful more than capable in a fight and quick on the draw which meshes well with the sweet flirty dumb blonde veneer she puts on most importantly though this gives us a reason for the fight sequence
13:57
Speaker A
Beyond well honestly there really wasn't one in the original Yang just casually decided to commit sexual assault by grabbing Junior's balls after like a minute of talking provoking the whole fight it always surprised me that Junior never tried to have her arrested because
14:13
Speaker A
it wasn't like this version where she had dirt on him to hang over his head she just walked in and blew up his Club doesn't really paint one of our four protagonists in the best of Lights now with all that important groundwork laid
14:25
Speaker A
from the trailers we can finally start dipping into volume one or as I tried to say season 1 yeah back when I first started this series I tried to change volumes into Seasons while I've kept the format the ubiquity of volume in the
14:40
Speaker A
franchise lexicon just overtook any attempt to rebranded so it's here to stay still these volumes do follow a more conventional seasonal layout even if the name hasn't changed fixing volume 1 consists of 20 episodes the average length being 10 minutes a piece this
14:59
Speaker A
pushes the series runtime to be just shy of a normal 12 to 13 episode anime season it gives us a little more breathing room to make changes and we know that Ro teeth is able to produce a show of the scale thanks to reversus
15:11
Speaker A
Blue this change however is not just to give us more time to work with it's also a move to refine our Focus for the show a major issue that Ruby suffered in its early volumes was the lack of
15:22
Speaker A
compartmentalized stories to quote fat man falling the biggest problem with Ruby volume 1 is that there isn't a plot while later volumes have certainly evolved a central conflict it took quite a bit of time to get there leaving the
15:35
Speaker A
first three volumes feeling disjointed unless viewed together what we were basically given especially in volume 1 was a smattering of individual story arcs that didn't accomplish any forward momentum by going into this fixing with a more seasonal format in mind we set a
15:49
Speaker A
very clear message that there will be a main plot thread that concludes at the end of each 20 episode run all while leaving enough threads and ideas open for future expansion however it should be kept in mind that
16:01
Speaker A
this is a rough overview and not everything is going to be scripted down to the individual line while this version of fixing volume 1 will certainly be going into greater detail it still won't be covering everything so I ask for a little bit of slack in that
16:14
Speaker A
regard if I tried to script everything out 100% it'd take roughly 5 months to produce with the additional writing and editing I'd have to do alone retroactively I know this for a fact because that's what happened with volumes 5 and six after my scripts
16:29
Speaker A
became incredibly detailed and took months to actually make as always if you feel I missed something important or something doesn't quite add up please please leave a comment down below while the follow-up video has already been made for this volume it's still nice to
16:43
Speaker A
know that people are paying enough attention to criticize me our fix of episode 1 cuts out the narration by Jen Taylor and skips right into the events of the show proper despite how well voice acted and surprisingly well
16:54
Speaker A
written it is the speech is ultimately redundant information to what we'll end up learning over over the course of the volume and it doesn't significantly play into the main plot thread in the greater scheme of things it seems even less
17:05
Speaker A
relevant since it focuses hard on Dust which hasn't played a major role in the abstract since well ever really so sadly sorry genter we'll have to see you after volume 3 we fade in on a city street at
17:22
Speaker A
night Roman torchwick as previously seen in the yellow trailer confidently Treads his way down the road flanked by his goons completely unopposed by any of the bystanders the posi slides right into from Dust Till Dawn a dust shop and
17:36
Speaker A
convenience store intimidating confident and Suave Roman makes his demands of the shop owner not just the cash in the register but also every ounce of dust the shop has to offer commenting it'll be more valuable than the Ping amounts
17:50
Speaker A
of Leen in the register quickly the shop keep hands over a case of crystallized dust while Roman's goons fill up containers from dispensers on the side of the room this scene basically untouched from the original show establishes a great many
18:03
Speaker A
things dust as a valuable resource in this world Leen as a currency and the imposing Charisma of Roman torchwick as this happens our hapless protagonist Ruby Rose is chilling in the back of the shop reading comics with her headphones
18:18
Speaker A
on none the wiser to the robbery one of the goons tries to hold her at blade point and Ruby confused asks are you robbing me when the man said says yes Ruby only delivers a huh before we cut
18:33
Speaker A
to that same man being launched through the Shop's front window what follows is the opening fight scene of the volume with Ruby easily and non-lethally dispatching the remaining goons that is until Roman steps in to personally deal with her it's a brief fight but it's
18:49
Speaker A
clear that he has more experience under his belt when fighting people he's brutal and is quick to overpower Ruby before he can make a dry quip and finish her and a gust woman with blonde hair appears to stop him Glinda goodwitch
19:02
Speaker A
knocks Roman back and using what appears to be magic and a writing crop puts Roman on the defensive desperate he reaches into a dust case and tosses one of the red crystals to the ground firing on it with a gun built into his Cane the
19:15
Speaker A
crystal explodes causing Glinda and Ruby to Flinch and allowing him to slip away Ruby cheers at his defeat gushing over how the woman is a real life Huntsman and babbling about asking for her autograph all Glenda gives her is a
19:29
Speaker A
piercing glare that quiets Ruby's excitement match cut to Ruby in a police station interrogation room being given a full grilling from Glinda for her recklessness Ruby is saved from Glenda's biting comments by the arrival of a white-haired man in green carrying a
19:42
Speaker A
plate of cookies and a mug this is Professor ospin Headmaster of Beacon Academy whose introduction starts with him commenting on Ruby's silver eyes and moves smoothly into him complimenting her combat prowess for someone so young after learning that Ruby wants to become
19:56
Speaker A
a huntsman a professional monster fight fighter he smiles quaily and secures her admission to Beacon which is the foremost Academy specializing in the training of huntsman we match cut from Ruby's excited face to a more nervous one as she's been enthusiastically
20:10
Speaker A
hugged by Yang they're both on an Airship with dozens of other students all eagerly on their way to Beacon we quickly established the two are sisters and yang is ecstatic to be going to Beacon with Ruby Ruby however is
20:22
Speaker A
suffering quite a bit of anxiety since she's been moved up two entire grades just to attend Yang tries to reassure her saying that this is where Ruby is going to Blossom and make tons of friends and be the bees knees Ruby
20:33
Speaker A
shoves her sister off and says I don't want to be any kind of knee I just want to be a normal girl with normal knees Yang tries to dig deeper but when Ruby says she doesn't want to be treated as
20:44
Speaker A
special Yang reassures her that she is special while giving her a sideways hug she directs Ruby's attention out the window to the city below and says confidently that by the end of this the two of them are going to be the best
20:55
Speaker A
Huntsman in the whole of veil Ruby just has to have a little a little bit of confidence is all ruby doesn't seem too moved by the pep talk but is quickly distracted when she can see the island they were raised on patch from the
21:06
Speaker A
window smiling to herself a little Ruby supposes that home isn't so far away after all and yang follows up that Beacon is their home now we end this episode off as a new character a blond-haired boy becomes air sick
21:19
Speaker A
catching the girl's attention we cut to outside of the Airship as it approaches the looming spires of Beacon all while the boy's vomiting is heard off screen and Ruby and yang scramble to AV void stepping in it and then the camera Fades
21:30
Speaker A
to Black in most shows episode 1 is an important tool to establish the tone and feeling of the series Ruby is a strange show in this way because the trailers have already done quite a bit of the heavy lifting in that area however this
21:44
Speaker A
rendition of episode 1 helps to contextualize much of what we saw in those trailers the audience should now have a rough map in their mind of how skilled each character is in relation to one another as well as their role in the
21:55
Speaker A
setting we've effectively solidified where a protagonist stands stand in relation to the world and how far they have the potential to go our fix for episode 2 leads off with something cut from the end of The Original Episode 1 a
22:07
Speaker A
news report by journalist Lisa lavender discussing a protest of fonus that turned violent after an organization known as the White Fang interrupted the demonstration by moving it here it better primes the audience that this isn't just a background detail to be
22:20
Speaker A
ignored funest are a major presence in society and this White Fang organization is messing up their protests Blake is among the crowd of students watching the report on the Airship projector reacting to it with a combination of frustration
22:34
Speaker A
and remorse that she works hard to school off her face all this helps give hints as to what happened back during the Black trailer and why Blake and Adam did the things they did though certainly were far from having all the pieces the
22:46
Speaker A
newscast is cut short and Glenda appears as a hologram to greet the new students to Beacon Academy this is followed by a short speech Where She lays out how privileged all the students are to go to Beacon and explains that it will be
22:57
Speaker A
their job as Huntsman to uphold the prolonged peace their world has experienced the last few decades the Airship pulls in to land at Beacon's dogs and the boy from the end of episode 1 comes stumbling out ahead of everyone
23:08
Speaker A
else vomiting into a nearby trash can Ruby and yang walk out in the middle of the pack side by side and Ruby is quick to gush over all the unique weapons she can see among the crowd of students Yang
23:19
Speaker A
pulls Ruby back from wandering into the crowd to admire the weapons and asks why Ruby is getting so excited over them when she has her own weapon she loves so much Ruby comments back that she loves Crescent Rose but seeing new weapons is
23:31
Speaker A
like meeting new people but better Yang pulls Ruby's Hood down playfully and recommends that Ruby try to make some friends of her own instead Ruby questions why she need to do that since she's already got Yang only to pull her
23:43
Speaker A
Hood up and find Yang surrounded by a group of her own friends Yang Smiles sheepishly at Ruby and shuffles back into her buddies saying quickly well actually my friends are here so we kind of got to go catch up K see you bye with
23:58
Speaker A
a quick quick wave and a cartoonish bounce Yang dashes off with her friends Ruby spins dizzy in the wake of Yang's animated dust cloud shaking off the dizziness she groans about being left to handle both her luggage and yangs all on
24:10
Speaker A
her own we cut to her at a communal pile of luggage messily stacked besides the Airship she manages to find her own bag among the mess and tries to pull it free only to accidentally knock over a white
24:20
Speaker A
bag as well the white bag pops open and Ruby is covered in a very fine Red Dust visibly irritating her sinuses as she holds in a knees this is where the audience is reintroduced to Weiss stomping over to Ruby and pulling the
24:33
Speaker A
white bag aside shrilly asking what ruby is doing with it Ruby still holding in a sneeze can't properly answer and Weiss continues a prissy tiate complaining first about her staff putting her luggage in with the communal pool and
24:46
Speaker A
then about some idiot clutch spilling some of the most volatile dust she' bothered packing stating that a spill like this could have caused some serious damage she emphasizes this by shaking a canister of red dust in Ruby's face
24:58
Speaker A
finally forcing Ruby a sneeze to come through there's a spark and in a Flash the red dust ignites in a fireball covering Ruby and riss and black and soot Weiss stares in shock before her face morphs into pure rage Weiss shouts
25:13
Speaker A
that this is unbelievable that it's exactly what she was talking about and Ruby tries to apologize her apologies fall on deaf ears as wise quickly goes about questioning Ruby's age and downright implying that she's too uncoordinated to fight monsters after
25:27
Speaker A
being overwhelmed the whole conversation Ruby stands up for herself firmly stating I said I was sorry Princess a third voice joins the conversation as Blake walks in grabs the jar of red dust and calmly recites it's Eris actually
25:45
Speaker A
Weiss shne arys to the shne dust company one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world for a brief moment Weiss is elated someone recognizes her and her Prestige only for Blake to follow it up with the same
25:59
Speaker A
company Infamous for its controversial business practices and questionable business partners Weiss's cheeks readen and she grabs back the jar sputtering angrily the whole while before storming off with her luggage Ruby yells after her that she'll try to make it up to her
26:14
Speaker A
Ruby attempts to turn to Blake and pick up the conversation but Blake has already moved on deeper into campus without saying another word most of the scene was basically verbatim from the original show since it was already pretty good it delivered a hefty amount
26:27
Speaker A
of information in a short amount of time while keeping it diagetic relevant and easy to absorb with the few tweaks we've introduced such as the luggage pool to set the scene the earlier newscasting to mentally Prime the audience and our
26:40
Speaker A
knowledge of Blake's status as a fonus we can get a better picture of the racial conflict currently bubbling in the World At Large as well as how it reflects upon each of the three characters in the scene so all Kudos go
26:51
Speaker A
out to Miles and carry for the writing here clunky as it was in the original it was effective in delivering a dense amount of narrative information information that isn't easy Ruby once again alone sags to her knees and mopes
27:04
Speaker A
welcome to Beacon a helping hand appears in frame and we pan up to find the blonde boy from earlier offering Ruby some help standing he introduces himself as John Ruby takes his hand and introduces herself standing before asking if he wasn't the guy vomiting on
27:18
Speaker A
the Airship earlier we jump to Ruby and John wandering on more secluded part of Campus bonding over both being Fish Out of Water amongst their peers it's here we get quite a few memorable lines between the two not only do we establish
27:31
Speaker A
their nicknames for each other going forward vomit boy and crater face but also John's legendary self- introduction of well the name's John AR short sweet rolls of the tongue ladies love it we get Ruby explaining what kind of weapon
27:44
Speaker A
Crescent roses a scythe that's also a gun Jon shows off his sword and shield which are simple weapons but also family heirlooms and we established that Ruby was the one to also construct her own Scythe similar to the previous scene
27:58
Speaker A
this one is surprisingly dense with information and in jokes that'll Run Deep through the heart of the series so again good job Miles and Carrie the scene itself ends with Ruby and John realizing they're lost we cut to them
28:10
Speaker A
out of breath as they arrive at Beacon's Auditorium and Ruby is almost immediately called Away by Yang Ruby leaves Jon to hang with her sister and he mopes about finding another cute quirky girl to talk to as he walks away
28:22
Speaker A
a new girl with deep red hair and bronze armor watches him back with Ruby she catches up with Yang explaining how she tripped over some luggage and exploded after Yang ditched her yang infers this means that Ruby had a meltdown but Weiss
28:35
Speaker A
arrives and points at Ruby accusingly Ruby jumps into Yang's arms muttering oh God it's happening again as Weiss yells that Ruby was lucky neither of them were blown off the cliff Yang is shocked that Ruby literally exploded while Ruby
28:49
Speaker A
climbs out of her arms and tries to defend herself that it was an accident wise shoves a pamphlet into her face and rapidly lists off a disclaimer about the usage of shne company dust Ruby is lost in the jargon and Weiss clarifies you
29:02
Speaker A
want to start making things up to me Ruby says absolutely and Weiss wastes no time in shoving the pamphlet into her arms and demanding read this and never speak to me again Yang tries to do damage control recommending Ruby and
29:15
Speaker A
Weiss try to get off on the right foot This Time ruby agrees and stiffly tries to reintroduce herself suggesting they can go shopping for school supplies together wise doesn't take the remark well sarcastically saying yeah and we can paint our nails and try on clothes
29:29
Speaker A
and talk about cute boys like tall blonde and scraggly over there throwing a derisive thumb at a clueless John Ruby doesn't read the room and thinks Weiss isn't joking before Weiss flatly turns her down with a decisive no the
29:44
Speaker A
auditorium quiets down as Osman steps onto stage to give a speech saying I'll keep this brief you have traveled here today in search of knowledge to hone your craft and acquire new skills and when you have finished you plan to
29:59
Speaker A
dedicate your life to the protection of the people to save them from the threat of the Grim and the disaster they leave in their wake but I look amongst you and all I see is wasted energy in need of
30:12
Speaker A
purpose Direction you assume knowledge will free you of this but your time at the school will prove that knowledge can only carry you so far it is up to you to take the first step the crowd Whispers at osan's harsh words and even Ruby and
30:28
Speaker A
yang comment how off all of Aspen's delivery was the scene ends on a quick joke as Jon slides up to Weiss's side and comments that he's a natural blonde making her slap a hand to her face in irritation we cut away to some form of
30:42
Speaker A
rundown Safe House apartment where torric comes stomping through the door clearly frustrated and still banged up from his fight with Glinda he mutters about how useless Junior's goons were and complains about how many Tails he had to shake just to get home brushing
30:55
Speaker A
the dust off his coat he walks into to a more lavish room of the house where we find a bedridden girl with pink brown and white hair she blinks at him with eyes that swap between the three colors
31:05
Speaker A
seemingly at random Roman sigh and sits beside her bed asking if she's feeling better she nods appreciatively and he gives her a warm smile he mentions that he missed her during that last job and says that he's got something big planned
31:18
Speaker A
that he's definitely going to need her help to accomplish so she better hurry up and get better the camera floats up to the window to look at the full moon transitioning us to the windows of beac Academy's cafeteria here we find Ruby
31:30
Speaker A
and yang at different levels of excitement over the entire Freshman Class sleeping in the same room together Yang likes the eye candy the men are providing her and Ruby is still sulking over her inability to make friends spending her time writing a letter to
31:42
Speaker A
her old classmates back at signal Academy Yang comments that Ruby simply made one friend and one enemy and she'll have better luck in the following days their attention is caught by the nearby Blake who has lit a candle to read by
31:54
Speaker A
Ruby recognizes her from the explosion incident and before she can really protest Yang has dragged Ruby over to introduce herself unfortunately this introduction doesn't go warmly the best they get is Blake's name and a passive aggressive comment that she wants to
32:08
Speaker A
read in peace Yang tries to write Blake off as a lost cause but Ruby manages to find a point of connection with Blake over the book she's reading one about a man with two Souls Ruby reminisces to Blake about Yang reading books to her
32:21
Speaker A
every single night of the stories of Heroes and monsters and explains that it's the reason she wants to become a Huntress to fight for what's right and protect people who can't protect themselves Blake says it's admirable but life is unfortunately not like a fairy
32:34
Speaker A
tale to which Ruby catches her off guard by saying well that's why we're here to make it better Yang is caught up on how adorable Ruby is with her optimism hugging her and giving her a noogie saying Ruby will make plenty of friends
32:47
Speaker A
she knows it as Ruby struggles the commotion catches the attention of Weiss who Stomps over to yell at the two for making such a Ruckus while people are trying to sleep this ignites a heated back and forth between the three that
32:59
Speaker A
Blake doesn't seem Keen to interact with calmly Blake blows out her candle bathing the scene in darkness and ending the episode episode 3 opens from the perspective of a sleeping student being awoken by an aggressively bubbly redheaded girl or Orange headed this is
33:18
Speaker A
Anime what's considered a redhead is a little vague considering we have four of them in this volume alone and only two of them have anything resembling a similar shade anyway ID digress this is Nora Valkyrie and the boy she's waking
33:31
Speaker A
up is the calm stoic lyen we Montage through their morning routine together Nora chattering excitedly the whole time over being at Beacon with Ren since they've been together since they were kids she's quick to awkwardly clarify not together together not that I'm
33:46
Speaker A
saying you're not handsome but that just be weird right she quickly moves on as they go to get breakfast and she continues devising plans to ensure that no matter what she and ren end up on the same team after ini iation she
33:58
Speaker A
ultimately lands on a plan as we cut to them pulling their unique weapons out of lockers they were apparently assigned by the staff as she puts a combination Hammer grenade launcher on her back Norah asks if Ren can make the sound of
34:09
Speaker A
a sloth sliding collapsable bladed machine pistols into his sleeves Ren finally speaks Nora I don't think sloths make a lot of noise Norah pauses only a second invigorated by the response that's why it's perfect no one will suspect we're working together Ren only
34:26
Speaker A
smiled at her shenanigans beckoning she follow after him to where initiation is going to take place Nora bounces on after him once again reiterating not together together with a giggle this little scene accomplishes a few neat little things aside from introducing us
34:41
Speaker A
to some of the best characters in the show it also establishes that after initiation students are sorted into teams and the process has an element of luck that some characters might want to subvert this becomes relevant as Norah
34:54
Speaker A
and ren pass Ruby and yang on their way out equipping thems elves at their own lockers Ruby is ecstatic that can finally skip the awkward parts of getting to know people and get right into the good part letting her weapon
35:05
Speaker A
and her skills do the talking Yang's excited for herself sure but she's a little more skittish about Ruby's attitude during initiation suggesting that Ruby tried to make her own friends and learn to work together with new people Ruby refutes the suggestion
35:18
Speaker A
saying meeting new people has nothing to do with fighting and I don't need people to help me grow up I drink milk when the topic of team come up Ruby says flippantly that she'll just be on Yang's team so she won't need to socialize Yang
35:32
Speaker A
however suggests that maybe Ruby should try to find her own team to be a part of to help her break out of her shell which ends up igniting an argument between the two sisters we only see the beginning of
35:42
Speaker A
this is because passing behind them is Jon Fring over finding the locker he'd put it stuff in the night before confused as to how he might have mixed up the numbers he walks past Weiss and the redheaded girl in the background of
35:53
Speaker A
episode 2 as they both fit themselves for initiation Weiss asks the other girl named Pi Nikos if she has given any thought to who she wants to team up with buttering her up with off-hand compliments about Pi's Fame and strength
36:06
Speaker A
none of those seem to phase the more modest PIR who replies that she's hoping to see where the chips fall but Weiss is persistent and asks if the two of them could maybe partner up P very politely says that sounds Grand and this makes
36:18
Speaker A
Weiss uncharacteristically ecstatic sinking off into her own little world mentally to brag about how powerful they'll be as a Duo the smartest girl in the school teamed up with the strongest they'll be unstoppable popular get perfect grades nothing could come
36:32
Speaker A
between them and that's when John pops up between the two confidently introducing himself to both girls he tries to flirt up Weiss and when P corrects him that teams are made up of four people not just two he slides over
36:44
Speaker A
to her and boldly proclaims that if p is lucky she'll wind up on the winning team Weiss is quick to separate the two and asks if Jon knows who he's talking to going through all of P's qualifications graduate top of her her class from her
36:57
Speaker A
old combat Academy sanctum won something called the mistal regional tournament a record four years in a row and she was the athlete featured on the front of every pumpkin Pete's marshmallow flakes cereal box that last one is the only one
37:10
Speaker A
John recognizes and immediately he's infatuated saying they only do that for Star athletes and cartoon characters now properly informed Weiss asks if he thinks he's in the position to have Pur on his team JN deflates his confidence leaving him and he guesses that he's not
37:25
Speaker A
he apologizes but Pur reassures him she thinks that he'd make a great leader this bolsters him but Weiss tries to cut him back down he responds by bragging that Pura is clearly on board for his team and spots are filling up fast but
37:39
Speaker A
maybe he could find a place for Weiss on it Weiss groans and asks PIR for help P ends up helping by using her weapon a javelin to pin Jon to the wall of the locker room apologizing as he's stuck
37:50
Speaker A
there Glenda comes over the PA and instructs the students to head off to the beacon Cliffs for initiation prompting Weiss and to to leave P grabs her Javelin on the way out saying it was nice to meet Jon and he gives a limp
38:02
Speaker A
likewise as she goes Yang and Ruby go over to him to make sure he's okay and as they do another student a rather large bulky one in some plate mail brushes rudely by Yang on his way out the three spare the guy a glance before
38:16
Speaker A
Ruby pulls Jon to his feet he laments that his dad's advice that women love confidence didn't work and yang quickly points out that him nicknaming Weiss snow angel wasn't the best of stars Pride wounded he's pulled out to
38:29
Speaker A
initiation by Ruby and yang we arrive out on an idic green Cliffside where students are instructed to stand on large metal pads that line The Edge osben opens initiation by welcoming them and explaining their skills and abilities will be evaluated in the
38:42
Speaker A
Emerald Forest commenting on the rumors about teams Glenda clarifies that they'll be given teams today lighting up an excited murmur between all the students ospen goes on to explain that teammates will be together for their entire duration at Beacon so it's best
38:57
Speaker A
to pair with compatibility in mind that being said the first person you make eye contact with after landing will be your partner for the next 4 years Ruby is immediately terrified by this news and Nora is proudly Vindicated for her
39:12
Speaker A
making a plan with Ren ospen goes on to explain that after the pairs have partnered up they will head north meeting opposition along the way there are no Grim within the forest however the natural inhabitants of the forest
39:24
Speaker A
typically Prov to be just as hostile do not hesitate to destroy everything in your path or you will die elaborating on the objective of initiation students are to locate an abandoned Temple recover a relic from within and get to a
39:38
Speaker A
predetermined location for extraction the location will be revealed to the students on their Scrolls once they recover a relic students will be monitored and graded during all of initiation but instructors will not intervene Ren Narrows his eyes and asks
39:51
Speaker A
how there are no Grim in the forest but ospen ignores him ironically asking if there are any questions Jon raises his hand but like with Ren ospen ignores him boldly proclaiming good now take your positions everyone but Jon braces
40:06
Speaker A
themselves against the pads beneath their feet and one by one they are launched into the sky deep into the Emerald Forest Jon continues asking his question wondering what exactly students are supposed to do in order to land ospen flatly says that students have to
40:20
Speaker A
determine their own Landing strategy before Jon can get any further answers his Pad launches him sending him hurdling through the air ospen watches stoically sipping from his mug as the episode ends episode 4 opens on a crow peacefully flying through the air above
40:35
Speaker A
the Emerald Forest only for a blur of red to crash right through exploding it in a burst of feathers Ruby's voice can be heard crying bir no she deploys her scythe and uses the blade to catch a tree's Branch swinging around it to curb
40:49
Speaker A
her momentum and land safely around the forest we get clips of the other major characters doing something similar why summoning glyphs to step her way down from the sky Ren using his pistol blades to spin around a tree trunk and yang
41:02
Speaker A
actually propelling herself more and more horizontally using Blast from her shotgun bracers she actually fumbles a bit at the end of the more acute descent but rolls out of the bushes yelling nailed it a particular note is pura's
41:13
Speaker A
descent crashing through several trees using a rounded Shield before coming to a stable stop on a high Branch she pulls out her Javelin and transforms it into a rifle aiming down the scope and catching sight of the helpless Jon in freef Fall
41:26
Speaker A
with not a moment hesitation she flips it back into a javelin and throws it propelling even further by firing the rifle at the same time it Soares cleanly through the air and plucks Jon out of the sky pinning him harmlessly to a tree
41:38
Speaker A
a week thank you drifts from where he's stuck and P yells back with a polite I'm sorry up on Beacon's Hillside ospen and Glinda are observing the students on their Scrolls thanks to a monitoring Network spanning the entire forest in
41:53
Speaker A
fact ospen occasionally swipes a control that causes parts of the the geography to shift in subtle ways through an underground mechanism guiding students different directions through the screen we can see the jerk from the locker room pulling a green-haired punk rocker
42:06
Speaker A
looking student out of a tree after his path was diverted through the speakers we can hear them introduce themselves with a larger boy being Carden and the smaller one being Russell cardan immediately demands that Russell not slow him down wasting not a second for
42:20
Speaker A
Russell to get his bearings osen then swipes to a different set of cameras where we see Ruby rushing through the forest and Weiss getting a read on her surroundings with another flick we can see the terrain subtly shift and Ruby
42:31
Speaker A
rushes right along A New Path none the wiser we cut down to ru's perspective as she's dashing through the forest running panicked at the risk of being unable to team up with Yang she considers Jon and Blake as Alternatives but Jon isn't a
42:44
Speaker A
good fighter and Blake doesn't seem like she'd hold a conversation ironically just as Ruby's mind is getting to the last person she knows she bursts through the trees and locks eyes with Weiss shne the two stare at each other and after a
42:56
Speaker A
bat of Silence Weiss begins to walk in the opposite direction completely ignoring Ruby despite her pleas of wait where are you going we're supposed to be teammates we cut back to an amused oen watching the scene only for Glenda to
43:09
Speaker A
interrupt him she holds up her own scroll with an image that the audience can't see osan's eyes narrow at the image and Glinda asks if they should cancel initiation taking a pensive sip from his mug ospen says no let us see
43:24
Speaker A
how they handle this but have the other instructors on standby back with Weiss and Ruby the two have arrived at the base of the tree that johon is stuck to and Weiss contemplates silently and only for a second lying and taking Jon as her
43:37
Speaker A
partner instead when Jon waves at her she turns and heads back the way she came grabbing Ruby by the hood and declaring by no means does this make us friends Ruby is simply Overjoyed that Weiss came back and lets herself be
43:49
Speaker A
dragged away Jon yells after them asking who's going to get him down this is when P walks up and asks very Riley if Jon still has any spots on his team Jon is embarrassed by the pot shot to his ego
44:01
Speaker A
but still Smiles warmly down at her setting their friendship in motion we follow after Ruby and Weiss where Ruby has pulled out of Weiss's grasp the two bump heads over Ruby slowing them down only for Ruby to demonstrate that she
44:13
Speaker A
can move incredibly fast with her semblance the concept of semblances is touched upon briefly here to tentatively explain the more magical powers we've seen demonstrated in this show so far such as Ruby's speed Weiss's glyphs Blake's Shadow clones and Yang's uh
44:30
Speaker A
explosiveness we'll get further elaboration on the topic in the future but for now it's simply used to establish that Ruby can rapidly accelerate her body and move at blinding speeds despite this speed however Weiss is still dismissive as Ruby is still
44:44
Speaker A
wasting time only to realize that Ruby has jumped the gun and run off into the forest ahead of her a growling from the brush catches her attention and she yells Ruby's name in frustration as a Hungry Wolf stalks out from between the
44:56
Speaker A
trees we jump over to Yang wandering her way through the forest still unpartnered when she comes across two black bears they immediately turn Territorial and attack initially Yang is cocky and having fun with the fight until one of
45:10
Speaker A
the Bears claw off a lock of her hair similar to Junior Yang becomes infuriated and rushes forward in her rage to one hit KO the bear she turns to the second bear hair is still flickering with fire when it falls over dead having
45:24
Speaker A
been stabbed in the back by Blake's sickle gun sword on a ribbon thing look I'm going to level with you gamble shroud is a weirdly complicated weapon to explain anyway Yang and Blake lock eyes solidifying their partnership as
45:40
Speaker A
Yang claims casually I could have taken him episode five cuts back to Weiss and Ruby who are busy combating a pack of wolves Weiss attempts to take a more structured fencer likee approach to combating the pack using the dust
45:53
Speaker A
Chambers on a raper to light the blade on fire as her opening move however Ruby's more spontaneous fighting style gets in the way throwing Weiss off which ends up igniting the whole row of trees the situation untenable Weiss grabs Ruby
46:06
Speaker A
and the two flee from the encounter once in a safer clearing Weiss chews Ruby out for her lack of communication during the fight and Ruby shoots back well I'm sorry you need my help to win a fight I'm just fine on my own why scoffs and
46:20
Speaker A
rolls her eyes walking on without her partner well congratulations on being the strongest child to sneak her way into Beacon Bravo Ruby growls and angrily cuts down a nearby tree with her Scythe before following after the arys over with a less tense pairing p and Jon
46:37
Speaker A
are steadily making their way through the underbrush of the forest moving branches and other obstacles out of the way for each other as they go at one point pure accidentally lets go of a branch that swings back and cuts Jon in
46:47
Speaker A
the face she's surprised to see him bleeding and asks him where his Aura is he's confused and tries to play off the fact that he doesn't know what she's talking about p is briefly confused herself but smiles and explains what
46:59
Speaker A
Aura is it is a manifestation of the Soul an energy that can protect a person from harm strengthening them from within long after their body has become exhausted and alert them to Danger well before it ever comes John asks if
47:11
Speaker A
monsters have Aura and Pier responds no they cannot the monsters they fight are soulless manifestations of anonymity they are the darkness while humans are the light as P explains this we cut over to Ren traveling alone through the
47:24
Speaker A
forest encountering the first proper Grim in the series a double-headed snake known as a king taiu he slides around the monster which looks straight at him yet seemingly sees nothing unfortunately he hits a rough patch of underbrush making a sound and the snake flails
47:40
Speaker A
violently outward he brings his hands forward to block the attack a visible field of cherry blossom pink energy coating his palms as he does p continues to elaborate over the fight that aura can be projected outward to form a
47:52
Speaker A
barrier that all of their gear and weapons are conduits this force can flow through as extensions of the self John boldly States like a force field earning a chuckle from PIRA who tells him that yes something like that with Ren he has
48:06
Speaker A
continued his fight with the King Tai G2 drawing his weapons but it does little to help after stabbing the blades into the carrus of one of the heads it flails to the side and slams him into a tree
48:16
Speaker A
his Aura flares over his body as he connects and his blades slip from where he'd embedded them he's struggling to his feet as the snake comes down to bite him we cut back the p and John properly where Pura cups Jon's face instructing
48:28
Speaker A
him to close his eyes and concentrate he does and Pura recites a mantra for it isn't passing that we achieve immortality through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all infinite in distance and
48:41
Speaker A
Unbound by death I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee Pura glows with red energy and Jon slowly glows with white once the light Fades she sags and JN calls her name in concern Pura explains that she used her own Aura to
48:55
Speaker A
unlock lock his and it's now protecting him watching with a grin as the scratch on his face knits itself shut idly she comments that he has a lot of it she does note that it's strange he didn't have it unlocked already almost everyone
49:08
Speaker A
going to a combat school that she knows of has their auras active John shrugs it off commenting that his mother did always say he was a bit of a late bloomer he doesn't give P time to follow up and enthusiastically trudges onward
49:19
Speaker A
into the trees back with Ren he's about to be eaten when a strange animall likee call Echoes Out of the Woods followed closely by the sound of something large moving in the underbrush and a guttural growl bursting from the trees is Nora
49:33
Speaker A
riding on the back of a bear Hammer raised High she brings it down to destroy one of the king Tai jitsu's heads before drifting over to where Ren is staggering to a stand and brushing off his sleeves he looks up at her
49:44
Speaker A
saying calmly that he still doesn't think that's what a sloth sounds like she leans down with a smug smile and boops him on the nose he smiles in return and Nora pulls him up onto the Bear's back just as the King taiu has
49:56
Speaker A
stopped writhing in pain the two plus bear bound off into the forest with a Now one-headed snake in Hot Pursuit we get a brief stoping with Glenda and oen as they watch Norah and ren with Glenda commenting that the two did well enough
50:09
Speaker A
against the Grim but she's worried how the rest of the students will fair this gets no response or commentary from ospen who is silently watching Yang and Blake on his scroll with the duo we can see there's already cracks forming in
50:20
Speaker A
their own chemistry Yang has just finished punching a bulbous frog alligator hybrid creature sending it Caren into a swampy area of the forest where a small pot of the creatures can be seen hissing at her in Blake's intrusion Blake Narrows her eyes and
50:33
Speaker A
asks if Yang needs to be so violent lash Gators are Ambush Predators they could have just walked around it Yang shrugs at the question saying the fastest path to the ruin she saw from the air is straight through again Blake seems
50:45
Speaker A
annoyed replying they're not exactly in a hurry shaking her head Yang explains that she has a sister that she has to look out for so she wants to get where she knows her sister will wind up just to keep an eye on her the two continue
50:56
Speaker A
moving through the forest as they talk with Blake reassuring Yang that her sister will probably be fine if she made it into Beacon besides she's a twin right wouldn't it be kind of like Yang doubting herself Yang groans in replies
51:08
Speaker A
that they're not twins her little sister got moved up and she's not ready Yang Trails off and mutters are frustrated never mind before forging further ahead Blake sigh and follows after explaining she just doesn't see the point of
51:23
Speaker A
causing trouble when they could probably get there just as fast fast if they stick to the edges of the danger Yang rolls her eyes and replies oh come on we're Huntsmen where's the fun in that as she says this she moves a piece of
51:35
Speaker A
brush aside revealing a nest of scampers creatures resembling squirrel chimpanzee hybrids there's a pause as the girls stare at the primates and vice versa Yang hops on her heels to say woh before the creatures break out in angry shrieks
51:50
Speaker A
Yang and Blake flee rushing through the forest as the scampers chase after them Yang pulls Blake through the brush by the hand eventually turning enough Corners to trick the scampers into rampaging deeper into the woods out of breath Blake pulls herself free of
52:03
Speaker A
Yang's grip and growls that Yang needs to start looking where she's going Yang equally winded says that she was and motions ahead of them through the next few trees the two can make out a clearing and a stone ruin further on
52:16
Speaker A
Blake sigh again and walks forward wordlessly giving Yang a cold shoulder Yang follows after in disbelief asking what nothing come on I got you're intact that's at least worth a little praise they cross the field and arrive in the
52:30
Speaker A
ruins where ornamental chest pieces are arranged on individual pedestals Yang comments that some of them are already missing but still doesn't earn a word from Blake musing that they should probably pick one Yang reaches over and grabs a golden Knight waving it for
52:43
Speaker A
Blake to see and asking how about a cute little pony Blake surprisingly smirks and says sure the two make their way out of the temple as Yang says well that wasn't too hard and Blake replies well it's not like this place is very
52:59
Speaker A
difficult to find Yang looks to Blake jaw drooping with shock before morphing into a smile wordlessly Blake smiles too we cut over to Ruby and Weiss struggling through the brush the two complaining about being lost and putting the blame
53:12
Speaker A
on each other over it as they exit into a clearing they're greeted by the sight of a large withered tree and on top of it is the massive black shape of a sleeping bird odd Ruby correctly identifies it as a grim call a Nevermore
53:26
Speaker A
and Weiss mutters that it has to be old considering its size Ruby shakes her head confused because osben said there were no Grim in the forest wise hisses asking if it matters now that they know that there is one Ruby supposes not and
53:40
Speaker A
suggests they backtrack to avoid it it's at this point that the scampers that Yang riled up come rushing towards them from the trees having locked on to the two of them as their new targets Weiss draws her Rapier panicked as she says
53:52
Speaker A
that they can't take them on if they also wake up the Nevermore lo and behold the Nevermore has started to stir because of the Ruckus below its perch increasing the tension of the situation Ruby looks between the scampers and the
54:03
Speaker A
Nevermore before muttering to herself not if we don't fight then Nevermore wise is confused by Ruby's muttering but Ruby grabs her by the hand stating come on I have an idea of how to get out of here Weiss tries to resist but Ruby
54:15
Speaker A
dashes towards the tree with her semblance dragging Weiss with her as she complains the episode ends as the Nevermore cranes its neck back and screeches into the sky episode 6 picks up with John and Pura as they come
54:27
Speaker A
across a cave standing outside are Cardin and Russell who are talking just out of earshot they quiet down when John and P approach and taking an opportunity Cardon tries to smoo the two partners up he explains that he thinks the ruins
54:41
Speaker A
might be through the tunnel but he was worried about being caught from behind by some of the wildlife they were debating whether to split up or not just as John and PIR arrived now that there's another pair it's perfect one pair can
54:52
Speaker A
explore the cave and one can protect it PIR is wary of the plan but JN Falls for it hookline and sinker unwittingly becoming cardon's Canary in the coal mine pun very much intended following Jon's lead Pur follows him into the cave
55:06
Speaker A
the two disappear as we linger back with Cardin and Russell Russell asks what happens if they die and carton shrugs saying they'll wait half an hour before they move on the two don't get a chance to wait that long as a Ruckus emanates
55:18
Speaker A
from the foliage the two turn and almost immediately begin running in fear as Norah and ren come bursting out of the woods on their bear nor laughing maniacally the whole way behind them is the King taiu still in Hot Pursuit the
55:31
Speaker A
four students and bear flee between the trees with a giant snake gaining more and more ground this is when the scampers that Yang startled crossed their paths distracting the Grim and giving the four breathing room to flee back in the cave JN and P are navigating
55:45
Speaker A
by torch light and have a Ted disagreement over whether or not the ruins would actually be in the cave with P thinking they're just going to get lost Jon asks her to humor him since he's already made the torch they make it
55:57
Speaker A
a little further in and in the dim lighting they come across a glowing orb in the shadows Jon thinks it's The Relic they're looking for and immediately latches onto it to Pi's concern they quickly discover it's actually the
56:09
Speaker A
glowing gold tail of a death stalker a grim that takes on the appearance of a giant scorpion Jon screams in fear and we cut to outside the cave where P has barely managed to get out of the death
56:19
Speaker A
stalker's way as it rushes out of the entrance Jon screams for help and Pur is unable to offer assistance before John loses his grip and is flung over the trees and into the distance Piro watches with shock before turning to the monster
56:32
Speaker A
wincing with embarrassment and running away a black Feather Falls across the screen and we transition over to Ruby and Weiss clutching onto the side of the soaring Nevermore the wind hurtling through their hair Weise complains that this was a terrible idea and Ruby
56:46
Speaker A
reassures her that they're fine stop worrying the two continue to disagree until a Fed Up Ruby recommends well why don't we just jump Weiss responds what are you insane only to be met with silence as Ruby has already let go Weiss
57:03
Speaker A
shrieks oh you insufferable little red we cut to Blake and yang standing on the temple steps eyeing their surroundings from all the strange noises the scampers the multiple Grim the screaming students their faces are drawn in confusion before Ruby plummets from the sky above
57:18
Speaker A
in a moment of incredible coincidence Ruby's fall is bisected by Jon's catching her midair and Landing them both in a tree where they both greet each other dizzily Blake stares at the tree and asks wasn't that your sister
57:32
Speaker A
Yang blinks and goes to speak only for a new sound to catch their attention Norah Ren Carden Russell and bear all burst out into the clearing with the temple Norah's bear collapses and she Pats it on the head sadly complaining a it's
57:46
Speaker A
broken shrugging to herself she stands and trots off towards the ruins with Ren in exacerbated Pursuit hopping into the ruins she quickly gravitates to a Rook shaped Relic and grabs it proudly singing I'm Queen of the castle I'm
58:00
Speaker A
Queen of the castle before being called back by Ren in the background Russell goes to pick up one of the relics only for Carden to push him aside and grab the one he prefers the black Bishop watching from the steps Blake now much
58:13
Speaker A
more deeply confused asks was she riding a bear again Yang goes to say something when Weiss's voice calls down from above screeching to Ruby how would you leave me on the branch Ruby and John both stand dusting themselves off Ruby yells
58:32
Speaker A
up I said jump the collection of students watch as Weiss loses her grip and begins to fall Jon sees an opportunity to play Hero and jumps from the branch to catch her which hey he succeeds at being her cushion when she
58:46
Speaker A
lands she gives him a pist my hero and he just groans my back in response Cardin and Russell from a spot leaning against the ruins laugh at the two Blake shakes her head was that a Nevermore finally Yang snaps I can't take it
59:04
Speaker A
anymore can everyone just chill out for 2 seconds before something crazy happens again the other students in the clearing stare at her and go silent as Yang visibly cools down from such a concentrated dose of chaos taking a
59:17
Speaker A
calming breath and pushing her hair back she looks over to find Ruby jumping down from the tree elated Yang smiles and yells Ruby before moving in for a hug Ruby does likewise yelling Yang and opening her arms wide Nora pops up
59:32
Speaker A
between them and yells Nara freezing them both in their tracks baffled to the Ginger's Antics in the distance P comes rushing out of the tree line death stalker in Hot Pursuit she yells after JN who calls after her in kind and she
59:46
Speaker A
jumps just in time to dodge one of his claw swipes slashing a tree at the edge of the clearing she manages to pin the monster down but not before another swipe sends her k Le across the field she lands in a heap at the group's feet
59:58
Speaker A
and while Blake and JN go to help P up Yang dryly quips great the gang's out here now we can die together Ruby however takes that as a challenge and rushes forward as the death stalker frees itself of the tree using a shot
60:11
Speaker A
from her scythe and her speed she tries to get a leaping strike in only to be battered aside by the Scorpion monster she panics and tries to get some shots off on it but its carrus is too thick
60:20
Speaker A
and the bullets skid right off realizing she's outmatched Ruby begins to run rush back to the group while Yang rushes forward to try and assist her it's at the same time that the Nevermore sees her as the weak link and moves into
60:32
Speaker A
attack sending a barrage of razor sharp quills raining down into the field Ruby's cap is caught by one pinning her in place and yang is whid as she's caught in the middle of the quills the death stalker catches up to the trapped
60:44
Speaker A
Ruby and all seems lost until a white blur crosses the screen a wall of ice pops up between Ruby and the death stalker catching the Grim's tail just inches before it manages to spear Ruby Weiss launches into an irritated screed
60:57
Speaker A
against Ruby calling her childish dimwitted and hyperactive and even goes so far as to question her fighting style but Weiss levels an olive branch that she herself can be difficult so if they're going to work together Weiss will try to be nicer so long as Ruby
61:13
Speaker A
stops trying to show off Ruby explains she wasn't trying to show off she just wanted Weiss to know that Ruby can actually be a proper Huntress Weiss rolls her eyes and walks back towards the crowd saying that Ruby is fine much
61:26
Speaker A
to Ruby's Elation Ruby pulls at her Cape as Yang walks up and punches the quill pinning her in place Yang gives her sister a hug happy she's okay but Jon breaks the tender Moment by yelling out that the Nevermore is circling back
61:38
Speaker A
around the three make it back to the group and we says there's little point in Dilly dallying their objective is right in front of them Jon sigh in relief and agrees run and live that's an idea I can get behind Ruby walks up into
61:51
Speaker A
the temple and grabs the remaining gold Knight while John walks up beside her and grabs the remaining white Rook they share an anxious look before exiting the temple and linking up with their groups Ruby looks at her scroll as they leave
62:02
Speaker A
the ruins pointing out with some concern that the Evac site is actually back the way they came beyond the death stalker and now the king Tai G2 as it slithers out of the forest Carden walks up from the ruins and shrugs replying that they
62:16
Speaker A
can just rush past Weiss rolls her eyes and glares at him if you want to die go right ahead Ruby keeps her eyes trained on the approaching monsters rocking on her feet while trying to come up with a
62:27
Speaker A
plan beside her Jon is looking more freely around the environment and that's when he catches sight of more ruins just beyond a hill he quickly forms an idea if they can lure the Grim over to those ruins the 10 of them should have a
62:39
Speaker A
better Collective chance of circumventing the monsters and making a break for the Evac site Blake shrugs and says better than anything I've come up with and ren agrees glancing at the incoming monsters before saying it's time we leave with that rough plan in
62:54
Speaker A
mind they all make a run for the temple barely fending off The Three Monsters as they go during this we get glimpses of both Ruby and Jon keeping an eye on the people around them this comes into play
63:04
Speaker A
when the plan backfires and they end up getting cornered at the temple instead Weiss begins shouting out orders for people to take trying to build a better defense but Ruby who has a clearer understanding of people's abilities at
63:15
Speaker A
this point starts contradicting Weiss and giving countermanding orders unfortunately causing the pair to backslide into bickering with one another during their argument Russell the only person to listen to Weiss's plan gets slashed by the death stalker cutting through his Aura and leaving a
63:30
Speaker A
sizable gash on his leg he falters as another blow comes down one that his Aura is barely able to absorb before Blake uses her Shadow clones and her ribbon whip to pull him out of danger the crew flee deeper into the ruins
63:42
Speaker A
coming across a tower emerging from a deep crass Blake hands Russell off to cardan who begrudgingly takes his partner before she falls in behind Yang the 10 students try to cross the bridge to the tower but the never more d
63:54
Speaker A
destroys it leaving Ruby Weiss Yang Norah and Jon on the tower and PIRA Ren Blake Carden and Russell back on Solid Ground fending off the death stalker and the King taiu using her Hammer Norah flips her and Jon back over to their
64:08
Speaker A
Partners to assist but also accidentally sends Blake hurdling over the edge Blake manages to recover even going so far as to get a few extra hits in on the Nevermore as she swings through the air before reconnecting with Ruby Weiss and
64:20
Speaker A
yang now the stage is set with Ruby Weiss Blake and yang against the Nevermore John P on Nora and ren against the death stalker and Cardon alone against the weakened King taiu almost comically he tosses Russell aside like a
64:33
Speaker A
sack of potatoes so as to not be weighed down during the fight when Blake comments on how tough the Nevermore actually is Yang suggests hitting it with everything they've got wise counter is that'll only serve to anger it even
64:44
Speaker A
more Ruby having observed Blake swinging her way back onto the tower looks between the four and says confidently that she has a plan unfortunately the Nevermore circles back on them before they can implement mented and destroys the upper portion of the Tower by flying
64:57
Speaker A
through it the four acrobatics up the debris and land on the still stable section of the tower Ruby doesn't slow down yelling for the girls to get into position and the four split in different directions across the bridge we find
65:09
Speaker A
Carden locked toe to tail with the King taitu but through a demonstration of sheer strength and skill he brings his mace down on its remaining head killing it it vanishes into Vapors leaving only its bony head crests behind we swap over
65:23
Speaker A
to John pan Nora and ren fighting the deathstalker all gradually working into a sink with one another Jon and Pur provide the most effective defense with their Shields while Norah and ren dish out the most damage going so far as to
65:35
Speaker A
loosen its stinger though that last Point gets Ren thrown out of the fight Jon points out the stinger and yells for p to sever it which she does with her Shield leading to the death soccer being impaled on its own Stinger it's still
65:46
Speaker A
alive however so when P catches her Shield John instructs Norah to bounce off of it Norah sails through the air and brings her hammer down on the Stinger a blow powerful enough to finish it the remaining Bridge below them
65:57
Speaker A
collapses the death stalker sinking in with it while the three of them are catapulted onto stable land Victorious they look across the way to the Nevermore fight where Yang is acting as bait gaining the nevermore's attention at the optimal time she jumps into its M
66:11
Speaker A
and fires a number of rounds down its throat yelling in time with the blasts I hope you're hungry she jumps off leaving it disoriented enough to crash into the cliff side from the ruins why sends out a gigantic wave of ice that pins the
66:25
Speaker A
bird in place from its tail we cut over to the tower where Blake attaches her ribbon to one of the tower's columns and tosses the other end to Yang on a mirroring column creating a taut slingshot between the two of them Ruby
66:37
Speaker A
hops onto it with her scythe and Weiss draws it back with a glyph Ruby asks if Weiss can make this shot prompting the smug response hm can't I Ruby however misses the sarcasm and asks can you and Weiss cuts her off with of course I can
66:52
Speaker A
Ruby's face morphs back into her stoic confidence and Weiss fires her off like a giant Scythe shaped Arrow Ruby wraps her Scythe around the nevermore's neck pinning it to the wall and why summons a row of glyphs all the way up the cliff
67:04
Speaker A
side letting Ruby run up the cliff sideways using her speed and firing off every round from her rifle Ruby rushes up the cliff dragging the Nevermore the whole way before reaching the top where the force finally decapitates the bird
67:17
Speaker A
Ruby strikes a heroic pose at the top of the cliff as Weiss Blake and yang watch winded from the fight the Nevermore and death sucker fights were some of the most pivotal in the whole of volume 1 establishing the high bar of action that
67:30
Speaker A
Ruby will struggle to hit consistently going forward especially after volume 3 I tried my best to stay as faithful as possible here adjusting only for some of the prior changes I made and trimming some of the fat from the encounter the
67:43
Speaker A
scene cuts to ospen and Glinda watching the events unfold on their Scrolls they Converse about how there should not have been any Grim in the forest and that the ruins should have been keeping them out Glenda though upset remarks that it was
67:54
Speaker A
only a matter of time before their ability to repel the Grim ceased working ospen however sees it as a more for boing Omen than just mere chance at play from there we Fade to the team coronation ceremony in Beacon's
68:05
Speaker A
Auditorium where Osman has just christened team Cardinal consisting of Cardin Winchester Russell thrush and two new ancillary characters Dove bronzewing and Sky Lark Cardon has been chosen to lead the team and he smiles smuggling into the crowd Jon Nora PIR and ren are
68:21
Speaker A
called forth next forming team Juniper with Jon as its lead prompting Norah to slap his back and P to put a proud hand on his shoulder Jon however happy he might be also looks quite uneasy with the position lastly are of course Ruby
68:35
Speaker A
Weiss Blake and yang forming the titular Team Ruby led by Ruby Rose why stares in horrified disbelief Blake simply has her eyebrows perked and yang has a brief uneasy look on her face before congratulating her sister and giving her
68:49
Speaker A
a proud hug we fade away from the celebration to the final scene of the initiation Arc in one of his hideouts Roman is planning the next stage of his heists muttering his way through different plans few work how he wants
69:01
Speaker A
them to commenting that the cops are closing in on his operation too quickly and he figures they're going to need something to throw the cops off their Trail as he casually thumbs through a news article about the vital Festival in
69:11
Speaker A
global financing he finds an article the next page over talking about the White Fang showing members of the organization dressed up in matching black white and red outfits Roman's face breaks out into a conniving smile and we cut to black
69:24
Speaker A
ending the episode and this Arc episode 7 rolls around and we get the first day of classes though things do not go pleasantly for Team Ruby the first order of the day is rearranging the group's new dorm to suit the group's taste
69:37
Speaker A
though only Ruby seems excited to do it Yang wants to be excited but without celebrating late into the night and is thus tired and hung over Blake is attempting enthusiasm but lack of normal social interaction has left her awkward
69:50
Speaker A
and hesitant and Weiss is decidedly uninterested since she normally have servants to do that sort of work for her Ruby struggles to get them involved with all talk of team building going in one ear and out the other however she
70:02
Speaker A
manages to kol them into doing the work since they'll need to do it eventually and that gets the other three girls moving with a weak monai in a comedic manner they rearrange the room with no small amount of
70:13
Speaker A
conflict often squabbling over what is defined as personal space or over Ruby shearing the curtain into two with her Scythe eventually the room is finished just in time for them to realize they're late to their first class the quartet
70:25
Speaker A
rush out the door followed quickly by team Juniper who are dorming right across the hall this is where we get a montage of some of the different classes they're attending for the semester as well as a hefty chunk of dietic
70:36
Speaker A
exposition both Yang and Ruby sleep through Hunter regulation and law but we learned no small amount of information about the role of huntsman in society Huntsman and Vil operate in a legal space between mercenary and law enforcement with their training Focus
70:49
Speaker A
primarily on fighting Grim either in the wilderness or as town and City Guards they can be brought in as emergency guards and relief workers during Grim horde attacks on outlier Villages they can also be contracted out privately and
71:02
Speaker A
publicly serving as police or military attaches or even straight up mercenaries For Hire giving the career a great amount of Versatility transferring over to sparring and team building we learned that Huntsmen can operate in a number of different configurations from Lone
71:15
Speaker A
wolves to organized platoon and echelons most of which is dependent on the job at hand one of the focuses of the class will be helping students discover their s Lance a superhuman ability relatively unique to each person as well as how to
71:28
Speaker A
better utilize it in combat and in tanon with other Huntsmen it's during this particular talk that Ruby begins to space out and after being hissed at by Weiss Ruby waves her off their entire team already unlocked and know their
71:40
Speaker A
semblances why does she have to listen to any of this it's also here that we learn that Huntsmen in order to combat the malicious nature of grim are sometimes required to fight criminals in order to mitigate social unrest a fact
71:51
Speaker A
that excites Yang but disinterest Blake we learned why they might need to do so in Grim studies where Ruby and yang spend much of their time doodling the Grim are monsters of Unknown Origin even to modern science but it is known that
72:03
Speaker A
they are intrinsically attracted to negative emotions the closer in proximity they are to negative emotions the easier they can locate a Target while a group of people won't inherently attract the Grim just by being together a number of people experiencing
72:16
Speaker A
emotional tumult simultaneously can intensify this signal to Grim attracting more and more to the population often times a grim attack leads to a self-fulfilling Loop of fear and panic that attracts more Grim eventually resulting in a massacre this is why
72:31
Speaker A
Huntsman must be trained to take care of the town's folk and defend them at all cost using whatever they have at hand this is where we cut to the last main class dust application here we quickly establish the basics of dust it's the
72:43
Speaker A
goto propellant and Remnant operating like the settings equivalent to oil petroleum and coal in addition to this we learn that it's a highly effective weapon utilized as firearm propellant with different effects manipulated in its raw form with the user's Aura and
72:57
Speaker A
can even be infused directly into the user's body though at Great personal risk to themselves it's in this class that Weiss's patience with her teammates reaches its Breaking Point through the whole montage of classes we've seen Weiss reacting with exacerbation at the
73:10
Speaker A
team Shenanigans and in particular rubies here Ruby tries to be funny doing an impression of one of their professors Peter Port by mimicking his facial hair with dust crystals surprisingly for a brief moment she manages to get Weiss to
73:24
Speaker A
chuckle unfortunately Weiss chuckling causes her to tip a potent vial of dust off the lab table resulting in the whole Lab being blown up with a concussive blast shocked dirty and with her ears still ringing Weiss shakes growls and
73:38
Speaker A
shouts Ruby's name Ruby says uh oops and we swipe cut to Aspen's office we open up on the team being reprimanded by Glinda for their poor behavior and for blowing up the dust lab on only their first day ospen calms Glinda and notes
73:53
Speaker A
to the girls that the intention of the randomized partner in team selection process was to force individual Hunters to learn how to work with and against their own faults not only as combatants but also as people learning to cooperate
74:05
Speaker A
and work together is one of the greatest assets Humanity has in the face of the Grim and while hunting alone is typical procedure the ability to work together with other people is absolutely vital to a huntsman's tool set considering this
74:17
Speaker A
is only their first day it's possible that this is just a simple mishap so he's willing to forgo severe punishments such as suspend ion or expulsion but recognizing problem students when he sees them he has decided to assign them
74:29
Speaker A
some guidance a team one year their senior to help them work out the Kinks in their team Dynamic who they'll meet the following day after classes in addition they're assigned some community service in order to account for the
74:40
Speaker A
damages to the school Weiss offers to pay of course but osen Chuckles and says that he has no concern for the money involved moreo he's concerned with the health of Team Ruby's attitude as the team shuffles out the door Ruby lingers
74:52
Speaker A
in his office to deflated by Weiss's attitude towards the situation she expresses to Osman that she doesn't feel like she's up to Leading them and asks Oz if he made a mistake choosing her to be leader he replies that remains to be
75:05
Speaker A
seen prompting Ruby to ask what he means osbin looks at her knowingly and says it's only been one day Ruby I've made more mistakes than any man woman and child on this planet but at this moment I would not consider your appointment to
75:20
Speaker A
leader to be one of them he leans in so he can look more directly at Ruby smiling warmly do you give it time Miss Rose this puts her worries at Bay and she leaves Osman watches her go his face
75:34
Speaker A
nonplused he takes a sip from his mug and we cut to Black episode 8 opens the next day with the four discussing what happened over lunch Weiss is particularly vocal about the incident raising issue with every member of the team especially Ruby Yang
75:49
Speaker A
and Ruby defend themselves but even though Ruby sticks up for Yang and her lack a adical nature Yang is slow to defend Ruby showing some apparent apprehension with her sister as a leader Blake is quiet except for a brief moment
76:02
Speaker A
where she notices a rabbit Fest named velvet at another table being bullied by cardan flicking her ears and accidentally spilling her lunch tray leaving the girl clearly distressed Blake clenches her fist and snarls but Weiss brings her back to the
76:15
Speaker A
conversation finally addressing her issues with Blake which compared to Ruby and yang are minor at worst Blake shakes her head and leaves the table ending the conversation the next scene introduces us to the team's older siblings for the
76:29
Speaker A
school year team coffee Coco Adele makes a very defined aggressive entrance in the same vein as a drill sergeant she appraises our protagonist introducing herself and her team all while keeping the drill sergeant act the whole way through she explains coffee is there to
76:44
Speaker A
kick Team Ruby into shape and get them functioning like a proper unit saying that osbin has given her the power to discipline them if they don't listen Weiss utterly confused objects resulting in Koko ordering her to do push-ups
76:56
Speaker A
Weiss is about to object again when Koko sweeps her feet out from under her with a little effort stunned and cowed Weiss attempts to do push-ups Fox leans in and Whispers to Koko that he didn't quite think that this is what ospen had in
77:08
Speaker A
mind yatsuhashi corrects that ospen didn't give them any power to punish their sibling team and velvet asks if any of that was actually in the pamphlet coko surreptitiously stuffs a pamphlet that was sticking out of her purse even
77:21
Speaker A
deeper in saying fine fine fine sorry for messing with you guys she turns to the struggling Weiss and says but you still need to give me at least one push-up Koko then defers to Fox who suggests that the eight of them split
77:34
Speaker A
off into pairs in order for coffee to get a feel for each person's individual issues he explains that anything they want to talk about is privileged knowledge and that the school will expel any member of Team coffee that talks
77:45
Speaker A
about anything discussed between siine Pairs Ruby of course splits off with Koko Weiss goes with Fox Blake with velvet and yang with yatsuhashi from here we cut to each conversation and gain insights on the characters involved starting with Ruby and Koco the two go
77:59
Speaker A
to coffee's dorm room where KOCO uses fashion to frame Ruby's issues Koko though a bit dry is good-natured and jokes with Ruby which eases the mood Koko directs the conversation to Ruby's approach as a leader and Ruby explains
78:13
Speaker A
that she hasn't given it too much thought she doesn't want to be Miss Bossy pants all the time when they're not on a mission she'd rather be their friend she'll give commands and stuff when they're out in the field but she
78:24
Speaker A
wants her teammates to have fun more than anything Koko chastises her explaining that being a leader is a round-the-clock duty wanting to have fun and be a kind-hearted goof is all well and good but Ruby needs to keep in mind
78:36
Speaker A
that she's constantly wearing the team leader hat and thus any outfit she wears any action she takes needs to match that hat no matter the circumstances we jump to Yang and yatsu Hashi who are at the school's gym where yatu meditates and
78:49
Speaker A
talks while Yang does pull-ups Yang is far more open about her issues and is actually quite thankful to have someone to talk to about them she expresses her unease with her sister both as a teammate and as a leader she's proud of
79:02
Speaker A
Ruby but also wants her sister to stop depending on her so much she also admits that she needs Ruby to be strong because she's afraid that one day she'll leave Ruby all alone without anyone to back her up just like Yang shuts up after
79:17
Speaker A
that but this will be the first hints we as an audience get to Yang's underlying issues with her mother Raven a plot thread that'll be explored much later in the series this conversation gives us an Insight not only into Yang's fears of
79:30
Speaker A
becoming like her own mother but also acknowledging that despite that fear she may very well abandon Ruby anyway yatsuhashi doesn't utter a peep during this as Yang uses him more as a sounding board for her issues it's only after
79:43
Speaker A
touching on her own faults that he raises some questions challenging Yang to reflect on her behavior towards her sister and the rest of the team people not just a good leader need someone one to rely on and keep them moving forward
79:56
Speaker A
by fearing some eventuality that may never come all she has done is set a self-fulfilling prophecy in motion one that will distance her from her sister and her teammates Yang is hesitantly receptive to the analysis saying that it'll probably help with Ruby but
80:09
Speaker A
remarks that Blake is a different story since she's already pretty distant from the rest of the team yansu says that Partners need to trust each other as well but bonds like that aren't built in a day he elaborates that she and Blake
80:21
Speaker A
will bond so long as she's there to support support her partner when she needs it Weiss is a much different story than the others she and fox sit down at a bench overlooking Veil from Beacon's Cliff face with fox trying to open a
80:33
Speaker A
dialogue by way of asking her what her problems are instead Weiss reiterates a condensed version of her gripes with each teammate Ruby is too stupid Yang is too lazy and Blake is too quiet she tops it off with how if she were in charge
80:47
Speaker A
she'd have them all whipped into shape by now Fox attempts to speak again only for Weiss to cut him off saying he couldn't possibly understand since he isn't a leader the conversation ends with them both awkwardly sitting in
80:58
Speaker A
silence Blake and velvet are the last two shown in the episode velvet takes Blake through Beacon's Gardens tending to a few of the flowers as she goes after some small chitchat Blake finally asks how velet does it why she puts up
81:10
Speaker A
with being bullied by Carden when she's a year older velvet is somewhat embarrassed that one of her Juniors saw that but explains that Cardon may be a bully but an eye for an eye would make the whole world blind hurting him would
81:22
Speaker A
only make him more resentful of the Fest that doesn't mean she'll put herself into the position to be bullied she knows her limits even if it's painful she can deal with him she'll try to figure out a way to maybe befriend him
81:33
Speaker A
so he'll stop bullying people altogether she'd much rather gain friends than enemies anyway and just looks at Cardon as an extra challenge in that regard Blake listens and reacts to this with a frown but says very little shrugging off
81:46
Speaker A
velvet asking if she has any problems to get off her chest about her teammates at Sunset the eight reconvene before the two teams go their separate ways with Team Ruby leaving the courtyard Koko remarks that Ruby's young and
81:57
Speaker A
inexperienced but she picked up on what kok said very quickly yatu remarked that Yang equally had a good head on her shoulders while velvet was delighted with the conversation with Blake even if Blake didn't open up at all Fox
82:10
Speaker A
meanwhile laments that Weiss just kept shutting down the conversation she talks a lot not much listening going on Coco Pats his shoulder saying that with what she saw of Ruby she has faith that Weiss's icy shell will melt someday
82:23
Speaker A
the episode Fades to Black looking at the sunset episode 9 begins with Team Ruby and Vil doing community service with Ruby Yang and Blake complaining that two weeks of punishment for one screw up is too harsh they're all elated that this
82:38
Speaker A
is their last day of it velvet is there to supervise them as they clean up after a small festival with her remarking this will be nothing compared to the cleanup needed after the vital Festival in a few months Ruby is using her semblance to
82:50
Speaker A
create an Airstream that sucks all the trash into Reed camp Hands Held by Yang and Blake and yang compliments her on using her semblance so creatively she also helps Blake out when she's struggling to hold down her own can
83:00
Speaker A
against the windy blasts out of all of Team Ruby Weiss is the only one not doing any of the work finding cleaning up garbage to be below her station Ruby putting on her leader hat tries to chew her out for it but falters in her
83:13
Speaker A
confidence Yang backs Ruby up noting that it would go quicker and easier if Weiss helped Blake Weiss is not too receptive to the idea rolling her eyes and Crossing her arms she kicks a can into a sewer grate and turns to the
83:26
Speaker A
girls to say see I'm helping velvet steps in and suggests that we help some of the other workers take down the stands instead since it'll be cleaner Weiss reluctantly complies since the whole team could get in trouble otherwise a few of the workers are
83:40
Speaker A
excited to work with a shne and openly call for her to join them noting that they'd be better company than a critter like velvet velvet frowns at the epithet and Blake flinches angrily velvet shares a look with Blake shaking her head that
83:52
Speaker A
it isn't worth it it Yang asks what that was all about and Blake is quiet for a moment before she entrusts to Yang alone as a half-truth that she sympathizes a lot with the fonus and language like that really rils her up Yang notes the
84:05
Speaker A
irony of being on a team with Weiss after hearing that but otherwise commiserates with Blake earning a small appreciative smile the remaining three members of Ruby get back to work and discover an arm sticking out of one of
84:16
Speaker A
the trash cans after another Airstream horrified they scramble to pull the person out and upon clearing the person's face they are greeted by a cheery salutations they pull out an odd but bubbly Ginger girl Penny pandina who quickly introduces herself to the team
84:33
Speaker A
she explains that she was curious why the area was roped off wandered in and was caught up in a strange localized weather event causing Ruby to shrink in embarrassment and apologize a brief conversation with Penny ensues before Weiss walks back over to the group
84:47
Speaker A
brushing herself off after some scaffolding collapsed she snarls at the workers calling them Ruffians and clutz is worse than Ruby she takes notice of Penny and further introductions are made Penny offers to help them clean and proves herself incredibly able holding
85:01
Speaker A
two bins by herself and doubling their cleanup efforts however in her enthusiasm to help she accidentally covers Weiss in trash angering the ays and prompting Ruby to defend her new friend Weiss livid says she's done for the day and goes towards the Hort Ruby
85:17
Speaker A
apologizes for Weiss's rudess and Penny says it's okay before parting waves with a team on good terms velvet looking at her scroll calls it a day and congratulates Team Ruby on finishing their community service however as the forehead back to the
85:30
Speaker A
helipad they come across another dust shop that was robbed the collected girls Eaves drop on the police who theorize it was most likely the White Fang like the last two dust shop robberies the city has suffered the episode ends on an
85:42
Speaker A
ominous note as Blake looks at the storefront with concern episode 10 begins with Team Ruby going to sparring class though Weiss apparently went ahead on her own without explanation Blake thanks Ruby for giving her pointers on tuning gamble shroud and
85:56
Speaker A
yang thanks her for saving her ass on the first Grim studies test this small moment goes a ways towards showing that Ruby is already improving as a leader a friend and as a student as they approach the class we learn why Weiss went ahead
86:09
Speaker A
when rounding a corner the three teammates discover Weiss locked in a heated discussion with Glinda Weiss is insistent that there must be some kind of process to change teams or otherwise reassign the leader while Weiss is adamant about getting a transfer Glinda
86:23
Speaker A
rebuffs her defending Aspen's judgment on the decision quoting that hundreds of Huntsmen have graduated from Beacon and the only times transfers were ever permitted were if one of the teammates could not complete the year for whatever reason Weiss pulls off to the side
86:36
Speaker A
curling into herself like a goblin as Her Imagination pops up in her mind she begins to plot hm if that's the case then maybe Ruby can meet an unfortunate accident with some stairs oh wait no does she have any allergies wait wait
86:50
Speaker A
wait wait wait wait I can frame her for Grand Larson Glenda asks tce if she's all right startling Weiss from her thoughts she coughs into her hand and says that she's fine she's just disappointed that an establishment as refined as Beacon
87:02
Speaker A
doesn't have such a simple process Glenda glares at Weiss before looking over her head to where Ruby Blake and yang are listening saying issues like this are better sorted internally with the rest of your team why follows Glenda's look and is stunned for a
87:18
Speaker A
moment to be caught red-handed she coughs into her hand and tries to save face before heading into class it doesn't work this creates a bad atmosphere going into the class and none of it is helped when Glinda announces
87:31
Speaker A
that it's time for partner sparring Weiss immediately refuses citing Ruby as Unworthy of her talents Ruby is taken a back she knew that Weiss didn't think much of her as a leader but as a Huntress she thought that she'd more
87:44
Speaker A
than proved herself back in the Emerald Forest Glenda uneasy about the tension allows the fight emphasizing the rules in an attempt to keep keep things from getting out of hand we learned that this is a free form match where combatants
87:57
Speaker A
will be tasked to reduce their opponent's Aura to 25% but otherwise there will be no restriction on weapons or equipment all force is authorized of course but Glenda says that if either Girl drops below 15% of their Aura the
88:08
Speaker A
victory will be forfeit for unsportsmanlike conduct she emphasizes this by asking the girls to please try not to kill each other we even have some witty dialogue here with Weiss saying I know the rules professor and Glenda respond on rules change when the stakes
88:25
Speaker A
are personal Miss shne it is too bad that the rules do not stay changed when all is said and done now bow to your opponent and begin Ruby bows and Weiss reluctantly curtsies and the fight begins Weiss immediately tries to ready
88:40
Speaker A
her stance but Ruby is already rushed forward catching Weiss off guard using the hook of Crescent Rose Ruby tosses Weiss into the air and barrages her with bullets landing on a series of glyphs Weiss has to jump through the air to
88:53
Speaker A
avoid Ruby's attacks all the while firing back with ethereal dust projectiles Ruby is forced to roll aside and Weiss drop safely to the ground immediately pulling up a glyph Shield to block Ruby's sniper fire Ruby counters this by rushing forward curving around
89:07
Speaker A
the shield but wi sees us coming and the two lock blades in close quarters combat Weise takes the advantage with her ballerina Lake control but Ruby isn't far behind with her raw speed and Rapid flourishes the two dance around each
89:19
Speaker A
other chipping at each other's aurura before Weiss uses a gravity GPH to Spring Ruby into the air Ruby reacts quickly and hooks Weiss's leg with crescent Rose bringing Weiss into the air with her the two continue to trade
89:30
Speaker A
blows using glyphs and speed to juggle each other before knocking each other back to opposite ends of the Arena the girls are breathing heavily and their Aras are already very low briefly we cut away to the stands where Blake and yang
89:42
Speaker A
and all of juniper are watching the fight with great concern rubby recovers first and charges forward straight for Weiss Weiss counters by bringing up an ice wall that redirects Ruby into a loop to Loop before sending her straight into
89:54
Speaker A
a wall Ruby is stunned and frustrated by the blow and only has a moment to breathe before Weiss Peppers her with Haring fire Ruby kicks off the wall and begins to zigzag her speed increasing with every burst Weiss watching this
90:07
Speaker A
begins to panic but she grits her teeth and breathes focusing herself spinning in place she calls up a glyph that catches Ruby in the middle of her zigzag and slows her before sending out several projectiles her way the first projectile
90:19
Speaker A
strikes Crescent Rose locking it in place with a binding glyph from the white trailer seconds later the other projectiles hit completely restraining Ruby in place sweating wise then curls back spener Rapier dust cylinder and charges her blade she launches forward
90:34
Speaker A
and Strikes Ruby breaking the glyphs and throwing Ruby to the floor Ruby collapses as her Aura hits 16% Weiss stands faltering for a moment from exhaustion But ultimately holds her head high with an aura of 26% having barely W
90:49
Speaker A
against Ruby there is silence in the room as Weiss composes herself and wipes the sweat from her brow even having come so close to losing Weiss only ends up seeing this match as a win lording it over Ruby as a sign of Ruby's
91:01
Speaker A
incompetence all ruby can do is glow her at Weiss from the ground as Yang and Blake pick her up and dust her off Weiss pleased with herself walks into the Shadows of the Arena watched by a despondent Glinda we then smoothly
91:15
Speaker A
transition to torric scrambling Out of the Shadows of an alley he's injured and carrying a briefcase much like the ones carried by his goons and episode 1 all while being chased by a huntsman torric uses a good amount of guile and trickery
91:27
Speaker A
to delay the Huntsman injuring the man significantly as he does but ultimately he's cornered and the Huntsman strikes however instead of dying torric surprisingly shatters into glass shards the Huntsman is allowed only a moment of confusion before he's impaled from
91:41
Speaker A
behind by a sharp blade killing him off to the side is torchwick watching Neo pull her blade from the man's back and screw it into her parasol she coughs and torric is immediately at her side guiding her towards the van he comments
91:55
Speaker A
all the way that while he's grateful for the save she really should stay in bed he needs her alive and well to pull off their biggest Heist yet as they close the van doors the screen cuts to Black
92:06
Speaker A
ending the episode a special Thanks goes out to all of my wonderful patrons for supporting the channel if you like this content and want more of it please consider supporting it also consider picking up my new adventure short story The Wild
92:23
Speaker A
Kings available now on Amazon as well as my action adventure novel the artificer which is available in both digital and imprint with that all said back to your regularly scheduled fixing episode 11 is now the official beginning of the John Arc this is a much
92:39
Speaker A
derided Arc of the original show because it steals Focus away from our main protagonist and dedicates a quarter of the volume's focus on a single side character in fixing however we've spent considerably more time with Team Ruby to
92:51
Speaker A
justify this 90 minutes compared to the original show 60 technically speaking the ark has been roughly doubled in size from 20 minutes to 40 but this also doesn't accurately reflect the increased involvement of Ruby during its length this effectively balances out that time
93:06
Speaker A
down to roughly 20 minutes of focus for Jon across the whole four episode span a few days have passed following the duel between Ruby and Weiss which is the topic of the day between Juniper Blake and yang in the dorm Commons apparently
93:19
Speaker A
the relationship between Weiss and Ruby as well as Weiss in the remainder of the team has bottomed out leading Ruby to drown herself in video games and wise to bury herself in her studies simply to avoid the others Jon makes some kind of
93:31
Speaker A
remark about the duel itself either innocuous or sarcastic and yang responds by pointing out that in their partner Spar Pura won in under 30 seconds we even get to see a brief clip of the fight to demonstrate the Monumental
93:43
Speaker A
difference in skill purira being a kind soul and with the first inklings of a crush on Jon tries to defend him but Jon rebuffs everyone CLA mean he was just off his aame calling his bluff Yang and Norah Dar John to challenge cardan on
93:56
Speaker A
the next sparring day with Norah wagering a week's worth of desserts he accepts wagering the last two X-ray and V Comics he got and P asks if that's really the wisest decision since he values his collection so much he
94:08
Speaker A
responds flippantly that he's not afraid WEP cut to Jon in the arena across from cardan double guessing his course of action we see a more extensive rendition of the fight between the two with slivers of Jon's tactical mind cutting
94:20
Speaker A
through his inexperience to keep him afloat against a physically Superior foe however it's apparent that cardon's raw skill and strength outmatch him by Miles summarily defeated Jon goes off to tend to his injured Pride Pirro watches him go and later that night she drags him
94:36
Speaker A
off to the roof he's confused why when she very earnestly offers to help train him to her surprise he's offended by the offer in his indignance Jon says he doesn't need her help he doesn't need anyone's help he has to do this on his
94:50
Speaker A
own P presses him on what he has to prove by going it alone he already got into one of the most prestigious combates in the world at that John breaks and says that he didn't he admits that in order to pursue his family name
95:03
Speaker A
and tradition he forged transcripts and warmed his way into Beacon preempting any response from PIR he defends his actions pointing out that he's genuinely been trying to catch up he just needs time PIR tries to say something but JN
95:16
Speaker A
cuts her off saying that he doesn't need her pity he got himself into this he'll get himself out p pulls back from him clearly disheartened and quietly says if that's what you want John feeling unwanted pure leaves now alone on the
95:32
Speaker A
roof JN grips his head in frustration before cardan appears behind him hanging off the roof's railing Carden hops over the rails and reveals that the emotional moment between Jon and Miss Perfect happened right above his room bringing in Jon with an over-the-shoulder hug he
95:48
Speaker A
begins to say that the two of them are going to become great friends we Fade Into Darkness ending the episode episode 12 follows the Fallout of Cardon discovering Jon's secret we find Jon in class absolutely exhausted with heavy bags under his eyes Professor
96:04
Speaker A
Ock a scraggly hyperactive coffee addict is giving a lecture about a fonus Revolt in mantle following an event known as the Great War spurred on largely by the destruction of culture as an attempt to cancel out the emotions that attract
96:17
Speaker A
Grim the Revolt ended up as a global flash point for Fest human relations around the globe L slowly Jon drifts off to sleep but a paper airplane thrown by carton snaps him awake leading Professor ubble to call on him he's questioned
96:30
Speaker A
about what advantage the Fest forces had at the Battle of Fort Castle and he panics looking around the room for an answer Pi tries to pantomim to him the correct answer but he misreads it and answers binoculars the class laughs at
96:42
Speaker A
the wrong answer Cardon especially but o Zooms in on him asking if he knows the correct answer Cardon nonchalantly says that it's easier to train an animal than it is a human leading to p calling out his close-mindedness UB swerves the
96:56
Speaker A
question P's way and she correctly deduces that night vision was the answer since many fonas have near-perfect sight in the dark Blake piggybacks on that and elaborates on the Foles of the human forces in the war as well before taking
97:07
Speaker A
a dig at carton for not paying attention in class Jon drops his head to the desk as his friends look at him with concern of course none of his friends know what's going on and we the audience only
97:17
Speaker A
have an inkling of what caused the previously attentive Jon to suddenly be lackluster and class it only comes to light for the audience when Cardin pulls him aside after class and casually orders Jon to do tomorrow's homework for
97:28
Speaker A
all of Team Cardinal during lunch his friends Express their concern but he shrugs them off heading back to the dorm to get an early jump on his obscene workload Yang voices her concerns to PIR who is also uneasy and equally confused
97:42
Speaker A
but feels too polite to pry Yang Huffs in frustration that it hasn't even been a single semester and their friends group is already going through massive bouts of drama sick of it she St States her intent to bring all of it to an end
97:53
Speaker A
personally a notion that P objects to saying that getting involved would just further complicate the drama Yang brushes off the assertion and tries to get Blake's solidarity on the issue only for Blake to be distracted watching Carden harass velvet catching this Yang
98:07
Speaker A
and comment that people like cardan are trash but there's unfortunately nothing any of them can really do about it Norah enthusiastically suggests breaking his legs but Yang and P retort that it would get them suspended if not expelled Blake
98:20
Speaker A
however bites back asking why by stopping a bully would be a bad thing to everyone's surprise Weiss walks up to the lunch table and weighs in commenting her own bafflement that fonus are even allowed to attend Beacon this comment
98:31
Speaker A
leads to a trade of barbs between her Blake and later Yang raising tension at the table the argument comes to an abrupt end when Ruby arrives with her own lunch she and Weiss hold glares at each other for a few seconds before
98:44
Speaker A
Weiss Huffs and goes to find more suitable company Ruby sits with them the only PEC at her food saying she heard Glinda was looking at into a possible transfer while Yang thought that news might make Ruby happy Ruby laments that
98:56
Speaker A
when they worked together in the forest she'd felt a connection with Weiss like they really could work well as partners as much as they've been at each other's throats Ruby got the feeling there was more to Weiss and she was really hopeful
99:07
Speaker A
there might be a breakthrough giving no one the time to respond Ruby says she's not hungry and goes out to finish the next level in one of her games before she leaves she confirms with Blake that they're going shopping the following day
99:19
Speaker A
for the class trip to Forever fall the scene ends with Yang inviting Blake and the latter some of juniper out to party since it's Friday to take some of the edge off all of them decline well Ren turns down for Nora and yang remarks
99:31
Speaker A
that it's their loss she stands from the table and meets with her friends from episode 2 to get ready for a night on the town ending the episode episode 13 opens in Vil with Ruby and Blake shopping for camping
99:43
Speaker A
supplies their survival classes headed to a location called Forever fall as a practice Expedition and their team's Collective grade in the class ends up dictating their budget for supplies the purpose of the system was to emphasize the value of education and instill a
99:56
Speaker A
sense of resourcefulness when that fails them in the field unfortunately it also leaves the struggling Team Ruby quite strapped for cash for all the stress being put on them the two are an oddly High Spirits able to bond over a number
100:09
Speaker A
of different book series while they shop Blake is even surprised by some of Ruby's choices in literature as they convey more complex themes than the normally bubbly girl initially seemed able to handle calling back to Blake's dismissive life isn't like a fairy tale
100:21
Speaker A
line Ruby goes a bit deeper into her own musings on the subject she loves old stories but when she would go to look them up herself she often found the originals and not the modern versions taught to kids it opened her eyes to see
100:35
Speaker A
how scary the world can be however she looked at how each story was pacified for younger audiences and found an underlying truth in how something fun and enjoyable can be born from something more Twisted she looks at the world as
100:47
Speaker A
something that is plagued by monsters and people like Huntsmen are the for that will slowly change that reality into a more fun and friendly one admittedly she doesn't Express herself very well I mean who is she going to
100:59
Speaker A
talk about this with Yang Tai but Blake learns to respect the surprising amount of maturity Ruby has she challenges Ruby asking if Weiss being so difficult to work with is analogous to her musings Ruby admits that she never thought the
101:13
Speaker A
process would be easy and Weiss is just the first real indication of the kind of world she's going to have to learn to work with meanwhile a hungover Yang is slapped awake by Coco in the coffee dorm room who shes her for getting drunk when
101:25
Speaker A
the rest of her team is already in disarray as she explains her and velvet found the blonde asleep on the door to team Ruby's dorm after the two had come back in from their morning Jog and they dragged her back to their own room Yang
101:36
Speaker A
retorts that she lost her keys and velvet shites her that there's a couch in the Commons Yang feebly tries to shove Coco and the rest of Team coffee away she groans that she just needed a break from it all there's really nothing
101:48
Speaker A
she can do getting involved with just spur on more drama so she tried to drown her woes and booze and hoped it would all go away yasashi is about to say something when Koko slaps her again berating her that sure jumping in at the
102:01
Speaker A
wrong moment will make things Messier but jumping in at the precise right moment can go miles towards solving the issue irritated Bine ensues between the two before Yang decides to concede defeat and think over the issue she makes her way to the door and says she's
102:15
Speaker A
going to see if she can convince Weiss to open the dorm for her back shopping Blake and Ruby split up only for Ruby to run into Penny who happily joins in on the equipment hunt along the way they
102:25
Speaker A
find P doing much the same but who is also worriedly looking for Jon who she lost while shopping downtown we flip over to Blake who ironically runs into Jon at carton's demand he'd snuck away from Pura in order to purchase a
102:38
Speaker A
mysterious unmarked box looking at Blake and recalling her stealthy nature paired possibly with some good comedic clips of her being sneaky around the dorms Jon strikes upon a plan and pulls her aside asking her help with something sensitive
102:51
Speaker A
Blake is resistant until he mentions getting back at Carden and getting him off his back with a grudge against the bully Blake ends the episode asking what JN needs her to do episode 14 is the exciting conclusion to the John Arc with all the teams
103:05
Speaker A
camping in Forever fall as a part of Professor Peach's survival course Glenda one of the other chaperon explains the day's assignment of gathering sap and leaves the teams to do their work she pulls Weiss and Ruby aside and explains
103:18
Speaker A
that while they are making the unusual preparations to swap teams the two are still partners for the interim and should work together as amicably as possible for which Ruby takes the suggestion seriously when Weiss makes a dry insulting quip Ruby manages to
103:32
Speaker A
stomach it peacefully in fact Ruby asks Weiss to take the lead in an attempt to Plate the arys and avoid further friction Weiss hotly accepts the suggestion and begins doing out instructions while Blake and yang watch we cut the team Cardinal who are loafing
103:46
Speaker A
around while Jon does all the work collecting their allotment of sap however John only comes back with enough jars for him and his own team he has collected nothing for team Cardinal cardan is of course livid but Jon stands
103:59
Speaker A
up to him with a shaky confidence his confidence gives way as cardan ignores his posturing and instructs his teammates to collect the sap jars grabbing Jon by the hoodie Cardon drags him off to fulfill his master plan to
104:11
Speaker A
coat p and sap and unleash the contents of the mystery box that John bought for Carden Carden reveals the box contains Rapier wasps who are among many different animals attracted to the sap from the Trees of forever fall a fact
104:23
Speaker A
Cardin learned from reading the reports Jon did on his behalf realizing this is a plan to hurt his friend Jon works up the nerve and finally turns on Cardin when Carden extorts him to throw the first jar at PIRA Jon instead throws it
104:35
Speaker A
at cardan's Armor coding him in sap instead enraged cardan and his team immediately rushed to beat the crap out of Jon only to be interrupted partway through when an Ursa a bear-shaped grim attracted by the sap attacks why is the
104:49
Speaker A
Ursa attracted to the sap I uh I honestly don't know this was a flaw on the original Ruby that flew under my radar when I first wrote this and I failed to address it maybe Grim have some semblance of the animals they
105:02
Speaker A
represent maybe the sap smells like blood who knows it's just a thing that urses are apparently attracted to and we just got to roll with it all of Team Cardinal save Cardin scatter leaving him and Jon alone to deal with the Ursa
105:18
Speaker A
Carden tries to fend off the Beast only to lose his mace over the side of a cliff leaving him unarmed for the rest of the fight we cut over to Team Ruby where Yang and Blake are busy gathering
105:27
Speaker A
sap behind them in the background are Ruby and Weiss strangely for their dynamic they seem to be getting along a moment where Weiss has let her guard down and the Sparks of their chemistry managed to break through the tension
105:38
Speaker A
between them this peaceful scene is interrupted as Russell bursts through the underbrush and falls to his knees in front of Blake he begs Blake and her team to save Carden citing back to how she saved him during initiation Blake is
105:51
Speaker A
visibly tempted to refuse but decides to help after she hears Jon screaming as well she calls the ruby weang in PIRA who drop everything in rush to help Norah by this point has passed out from eating too much sap leaving Ren to make
106:04
Speaker A
sure she stays safe arriving at the cliffs side clearing Ruby quickly assesses the situation and puts Blake Yang and PIR on guard along its perimeter wise objects saying they can overrun the Ursa by rushing it together but Ruby slips into full leader mode and
106:18
Speaker A
snaps at Weiss just to do as she says as this exchange happens Carden tries to brain the Ursa with one of the jars of sap all he really succeeds in doing is covering it in goo this however gives
106:30
Speaker A
Jon an idea he grabs his own jar opens it and uses the scent to lure the Ura away from Carden Ruby very harshly explains to Weiss that she's going to knock the bear off the cliff to do so
106:41
Speaker A
she needs a boost from one of Weiss's glyphs to give her kick the extra umph but first she needs an opening both Jon and P hear this and Jon immediately Sprints for the cliff acting as bait luckily for the plan the Ursa goes for
106:54
Speaker A
him and gives them the opening they need using Weiss's glyphs Ruby launches forward and slams into the ursa's side sending it hurling over the edge Jon would have been caught up in the attack unable to dodge out of the way if not
107:06
Speaker A
for p subtly using her until now unknown semblance to pull him the extra few inches out of Harm's Way Yang notices P's subtle motions and asks her what she just did smiling sheepishly Pur Whispers that her semblance is polarity and
107:21
Speaker A
Yang's confused gaze further elaborates that she can manipulate metal oh that's really attractive P's smile becomes unimpressed but she puts a finger to her lips and asks Yang to keep her semblance on the down low Yang affirms my lips are sealed magnetically
107:39
Speaker A
P gives a disappointed stare before we cut away with the rest of the team Weiss choose Ruby out for her ludicrous plan saying the combined teams could have just charged in there to overwhelm it however Ruby stands up for herself and
107:51
Speaker A
defends her actions it was an Ursa Major that attacked which are primarily solo Hunters but if she were wrong and it was just a normal Ursa then they would have had to deal with an entire pack in which
108:01
Speaker A
case their strongest Fighters were already defending the perimeter to hold the line in addition since she assumed that it was a major she knew that none of their weapons would be able to pierce its hide meaning the only way to deal
108:12
Speaker A
with it would be to knock it off the cliff instead in fact there's a chance that Ursa isn't even dead at the bottom of the cliff Weiss is dumbfounded by Ruby's cunning but more infuriate at being talked down to so she Stomps off
108:23
Speaker A
in a fit moving over to Jon he helps Carden stand Carden doesn't bother to even thank Jon for the help but Jon squeezes carden's hand painfully tight before declaring we are done Carden is confused but Jon finally pops the trump
108:37
Speaker A
card he's been carrying the whole trip he had a friend heavily implied to be Blake sneak in and swap out cardon's transcripts with Forge replicas that JN made from The Originals effectively this means Jon and Carden have the same black
108:49
Speaker A
male hanging over each other's heads if Carden tries to expose Jon for forgery Jon can just as easily point to cardon's transcripts as forged and get them both expelled Carden is shocked and angered at Jon's G and is left speechless as Jon
109:04
Speaker A
says in no uncertain terms that Cardin is not to mess with him or his friends ever again cardan angrily rips his hand away and grunts an acknowledgement before stomping off we fade in on our last scene with Jon on one of the dorm's
109:17
Speaker A
rooftops P walks up behind him commenting that she was looking for him Jon turns to her and apologizes for cutting her off when she tried to help the two make amends and Pur invites Jon downstairs since Ren apparently made
109:29
Speaker A
pancakes Jon stops her as she goes and after rambling about how he doesn't deserve it asks if she's still willing to train him in response Pi pretends to mold the idea over walking up to Jon and shoving him to the ground commenting how
109:43
Speaker A
his form is all wrong pulling him to his feet she smiles and says let me show you how it's done cut to Black end of episode episode 15 picks up a few days later Ruby Blake Yang and Juniper well
110:00
Speaker A
at lunch remark how Juniper has started to really show Improvement Carden meanwhile has become more aggressive with his bullying even his team looks bedraggled in the background we can see Weiss eating at a different table alone and Ruby stares at her sadly Blake tells
110:14
Speaker A
Ruby just to give up on Weiss she's not the kind of challenge that's worth it Yang however disagrees saying that everyone deserves a second chance maybe Ruby has a point and there's actually something redeeming about Weiss Yang then goes quiet trying to think of an
110:29
Speaker A
example before awkwardly proclaiming I mean she's Rich Blake gives Yang a blank stare and Ruby just rolls her eyes with a sigh their dialogue is cut short when Carden on the other side of the room begins bullying velvet this time far
110:44
Speaker A
rougher than before by fullon yanking on her ears to the point she stumbles under his grip Blake finally reaching a Breaking Point with the bully begs Jon to use his leverage to help velvet Jon regretfully replies that he can't his
110:58
Speaker A
incaran ceasefire is too fragile to exploit especially so soon after making it velvet isn't technically one of Jon's friends and if he were to start including random people under that umbrella Carden would most likely just snap and get them both expelled anyway
111:12
Speaker A
Blake is infuriated at Jon glaring at him as she stands deciding to confront Carden herself Blake walks over to them and gets velvet out of his hand guiding her back to the safety of their friends group what follows is Blake and Cardon
111:24
Speaker A
getting into a screaming match with Blake particularly needling him about his masculation during the fight with the Ursa Cardon shoots back that if he's considered weak what right does velvet a furball who doesn't even fight back have to attend a school like Beacon Blake
111:38
Speaker A
bites back more of a right than you and this becomes a back and forth of escalated shouting to everyone's surprise why steps in to back cardon's argument she makes it clear that his behavior is borish but highlights velvet
111:50
Speaker A
reluctance to stand up for herself as a casebook example of faest traits docile skittish and weak willed it's quite well understood in Atlas and at least there theem put them in their place it's a childish misguided thought that fonus
112:04
Speaker A
could ever be on the same footing with typical humans which is why activists like the White Fang quickly devolve into tantrum throwing babies that need to use violence to get their way Blake is stunned speechless by The Arrogant and
112:16
Speaker A
pointedly racist screed from Weiss Yang stands up besides Blake and yells Weiss you are way out of line you're talking about our schoolmates Weiss immediately rebuffs Yang as a simpleton for not understanding the Nuance of her position Ruby seeing the tempers Rising rapidly
112:32
Speaker A
speeds out the door and P joins in the argument contesting that Weiss's position isn't nuanced if anything it's overly simplistic it's these words from someone we know that Weiss respects that gives her a pause glancing around the cafeteria in confusion as the other
112:47
Speaker A
students around them avert their eyes however card decides to pick things up for his side of the argument and reaffirms that Weiss knows what she's talking about she's arguably one of the most intelligent people in their class and he threatens to attack p if she
112:59
Speaker A
insults either him or Weiss again Jon steps in and stares Carden down saying I think we're done here cardon's mouth snaps shut but his eyes narrow still enraged but somewhat toothless with expulsion on the line he snarls at John
113:14
Speaker A
that he can't protect his friends forever and uh yeah just a bit of foreshadowing there you know this is where Coco burst into the cafeteria the rest of Team coffee hot on her heels declaring that Jon won't have
113:26
Speaker A
to protect them so long as team Coffey is around Ruby walks out from behind the group out of breath having run off to fetch them the minute things really started getting heated Russell pulls at cardon's uniform meekly suggesting to
113:38
Speaker A
his leader that it might be best to walk all this off instead Cen glares down the whole room silently before he tells everyone to go screw themselves and storms off not to be seen for the rest of the volume the tension doesn't vanish
113:50
Speaker A
though as Weiss makes her way out of the cafeteria and into the hallway she's followed by Blake Yang and Ruby Blake immediately opens up on Weiss seething out and here you'd almost convinced me you weren't your family I can't believe
114:02
Speaker A
that's what you think of the Fest we stops and turns to face Blake leaving Yang and Ruby between them in shot watching the argument with concern Weiss hisses back and I can't believe you're defending them Blake Narrows her eyes
114:15
Speaker A
defending who the fonus defending the girl getting bullied in front of hundreds of kids Weiss rolls her eyes bleeding hearts like you are the reason the White Fang haven't been wiped off the face of Remnant Blake is a ghast and why should
114:28
Speaker A
they be wise shakes her head dismissively uh hello they're terrorists Blake Narrows her eyes and bites out Freedom Fighters it's here that we match cut from the hallway into team Ruby's dorm room where the fight has continued to escalate both arguing girls having
114:44
Speaker A
sat on their beds across from one another wise crosses her arms I don't understand why this is causing a problem Blake points into Weiss's chest that is the problem Weiss stands and retorts you realize you're defending an organization
114:58
Speaker A
that hates Humanity don't you the fontas of the White Fang are pure evil Blake stands to match her people can't be pure evil why do you think they hate Humanity so much it's because of people like cardan people like you that Force the
115:11
Speaker A
White Fang to take such drastic measures baffled Weiss puts a hand to her collar people like me and Blake throws her hands in the air you're perminator without missing a beat Weiss shouts back I'm a victim narrowing her eyes up Blake
115:26
Speaker A
and Whispering roughly Weiss says you want to know why I despise the White Fang why I don't particularly trust the fonus they've been at war with my family for years war as an actual Bloodshed my grandfather's company has had a Target
115:41
Speaker A
painted across its back for as long as I can remember and ever since I was a child I've watched Friends disappear board members kidnapped family executed and every day my father would come home Furious and that made for a
115:56
Speaker A
very difficult childhood she rounds off her monologue by slamming her fists on the room's bookshelf Ruby attempts to comfort Weiss but Weiss shoves her off walking over to St Blake down you want to know why I despise the faest it's
116:09
Speaker A
because they're a bunch of liars thieves and murderers this finally gets Blake to crack and she yells right into Weiss's face well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around there is stunned silence in the room as it slowly Dawns
116:23
Speaker A
on everyone what Blake just said breathing even heavier eyes frantic Blake bolts out the door before anyone can react the rest of her team watch her go too stunned to follow we find Blake at the edge of Beacon's Terrace just as
116:37
Speaker A
night falls still breathing heavy from the exertion of running here she stops and gathers her breath with a deliberate hand she reaches up and takes off her bow looking at it sadly and sparing that same glance back at the spires of Beacon
116:50
Speaker A
clenching her fist around the bow she runs off into the night ending the episode episode 16 Picks Up in team Ruby's dorm room in the immediate aftermath of Blake's Outburst with the three remaining members still coming out of shock Ruby and yang both want to go
117:04
Speaker A
after Blake immediately to try and bring her back but Weiss makes that difficult instead demanding they go to the administrative offices and Report Blake as a terrorist Ruby suggests that if Blake were still a member of the White
117:14
Speaker A
Fang wouldn't she have struck by now she's had access to Weiss this entire time a statement that makes Weiss in place Weise counters that by suggesting that Blake was probably playing the long game and attempt to get close to her
117:25
Speaker A
father something similar happened with her uncle and her aunt's favorite servant Yang asks why Blake would have blown her cover if that were the case besides maybe if the schne treated their servants better none of this would have
117:37
Speaker A
been a problem in the first place Weiss shouts back that their servants are paid a healthy wage way more than they should considering her family's history with the fais we leave the argument to catch up with Blake wandering the streets of
117:48
Speaker A
veil before stumbling clean into Penny the excitable strange girl seems to be assisting the city with more cleaning efforts and early preparations for the first stage of the vital Festival Blake finds it weird but Penny mentions that she enjoyed helping so much she decided
118:02
Speaker A
to take it up as a part-time job though she questions if she properly interpreted what he meant regardless she asks if Ruby and yang are with Blake as she always has such a good time with Team Ruby around Blake shakes her head
118:13
Speaker A
no and quickly excuses herself uninterested in having a conversation with the pppe girl Penny happily waves Blake off and tells her not to be a stranger though when Blake is out of earshot Penny comedically realizes that no one actually knows where she lives
118:27
Speaker A
Blake arrives at a shop called tux's Book trade and inside she's warmly greeted by the owner a tall Puma fonus named tuxen we learn quickly through implications in their dialogue that the two know each other from a shared
118:39
Speaker A
history in the White Fang he's surprised to see her and even alarmed that she's apparently quit Beacon but he nonetheless offers her his guest room which she is grateful to take back at the Ruby dorm Yang has had enough of
118:51
Speaker A
Weiss's crap and has decided to go search for Blake Ruby agrees to join her but insists that Yang should go get a head start Ruby stays behind and pleads for Weiss to hear Blake's side of the story only for Weiss to dismiss her
119:02
Speaker A
outright and declare that she'll be taking this issue straight to ospen the last statement she makes is that by the end of tomorrow Team Ruby will be completely dismantled with a close of the room's door we cut to Black and end
119:14
Speaker A
the episode episode 17 picks back up in tux's Book trade in order to repay tu's kindness for Sheltering her Blake has begun working as one of his shop Associates tending to the books and manning the register while working she
119:27
Speaker A
overhears a few faest customers gossiping about an off thee books work offer for something big one of the members of the conversation asks if it'll be dangerous and the original talker waves it all saying that all the blame is going to be pinned on the White
119:39
Speaker A
Fang or something like that everyone hates those guys anyway so what's the difference Blake is visibly concerned but she ultimately turns away attempting to ignore the rumors we cut to Weiss work working her way up to osan's office
119:51
Speaker A
bursting out of the elevator still seething without giving him time to even greet her wise launches into a tiate asking him what kind of school he's running exactly first incompetent leaders and now full-blown terrorist this school is a mockery to higher
120:04
Speaker A
education and the entire profession of huntsman ospen calmly sips his coffee before sitting it on his desk and fixing whiss with a stare starting off with a level Miss schne he explains he's been following team Ruby's exploits in drama
120:17
Speaker A
since almost the first day of class they've made no shortage of problems for poor Glenda while Weiss may be frustrated with Miss Rose what osben saw during initiation was nothing short of Prodigy despite still retaining much of her childish enthusiasm she's progressed
120:32
Speaker A
quite rapidly at shedding it to fulfill her role as a healthy leader at least were she not dealing with an unruly and unrelenting teammate causing friction as to miss belladon he has regularly observed her amicable personality always willing to compromise or find a
120:47
Speaker A
non-confrontational approach all the more Sur surprising if your Revelations about her are correct however what would a member of the White Fang be doing at this Academy he continues that he personally looks into every student's background before they attend if he
121:00
Speaker A
finds something discordant with the cause of protecting Society he would never permit that student through the front door with all that considered he plays on Weiss's adherence to Authority and inquires if Weiss thinks he's made a mistake Weiss wines knocked off kilter
121:14
Speaker A
and stutters out no that's not what I ospen speaks over her and suggest sternly that weisses meditate on what it means to be part of a team especially a team that she is not in command of otherwise he Muses it may be that his
121:28
Speaker A
only mistake was admitting a certain ays to his Academy we get a closeup of Weiss's stricken face her eyes wide before we cut away this conversation is a splash of cold water to Weiss functioning like the port conversation
121:41
Speaker A
in the original version of the badge in the burden conceptually the original was a good speech but delivered much too soon for the whole Weiss Ruby conflict to have any weight now the plot line has had time to breathe in the narrative and
121:53
Speaker A
in fact is now intertwined with a completely different plot emphasizing why is need to grow as a person back to the story we cut to Ruby downtown looking for Blake she and yang are coordinating by scroll but neither are
122:05
Speaker A
having much luck even though they've already spent almost an entire day searching as they talk Ruby receives a text message from Koko the other leader is also downtown and is asking Ruby to come to a nearby cafe the question is
122:18
Speaker A
more of a demand and Ruby reluctantly agrees the two meet at the cafe but Koko offers to walk with Ruby so we can avoid an actual Cafe scene Lord knows there's already been enough of those in this script Koko opens up the conversation by
122:31
Speaker A
reflecting on her history with Fox her previous partner died during initiation and Fox's partner was too injured to continue a career in hunting so the two were stuck together at the end of initiation and put on team coffee Koko
122:43
Speaker A
started her career at Beacon as a Showboat and fox was very much a Loose Cannon and they developed a competitive relationship where they were constantly trying to one up each other this eventually ended with velvet and yatsuhashi sitting them down and forcing
122:55
Speaker A
them to actually work together they still didn't quite get along but as the team AC crew experience and went through more and more dangerous missions together the two began to respect one another it took time but by the end of
123:06
Speaker A
their first year team coffee was gaining ground where other teams were starting to falter her Point she says is that it takes time for a team to acclimate and even with the improvements Ruby is making as a leader sometimes it's not
123:18
Speaker A
her fault that things aren't going as planned all she can do is try to roll with the blows until things come together of course she adds this doesn't mean Ruby can slack off and blame things on everyone else she should always
123:30
Speaker A
strive to improve herself Ruby appreciates the kind words but comments that pep talk doesn't really help her find Blake to which Koko replies that she's not worried about Blake from what velvet says Blake has a good head on her
123:42
Speaker A
shoulders even if it's not properly aligned quite yet when it finally is she'll come back to the home that Ruby and yang have helped build for her Ruby says that's nice to hear and all but points out that none of that really
123:53
Speaker A
applies to the current situation Koko admits that she knows it really doesn't apply but she's obligated to at least attempt to give some advice to Ruby right now or else Alman will be on her ass again the only reason they were made
124:06
Speaker A
team Ruby's mentors in the first place was because KOCO embezzled last year's dance Budget on clothes for her and her own team Ruby just says oh okay and the scene Peters out awkwardly the last scene is of Blake in the bookstore
124:21
Speaker A
closing up for the night and letting her ears out of the bow when an unseen figure walks up behind her she offhandedly remarks that they're closing and the stranger replies I knew you would look better without the bow
124:33
Speaker A
prompting Blake to spin around in Surprise Yang is standing there exhausted but smiling episode 18 picks up with Yang sending a message off to Ruby reassuring Blake that all she did was make sure Ruby knew that they were
124:45
Speaker A
both safe she didn't tell Ruby where they were or anything beyond that Blake thanks her for being discreet and yang shrugs it off casually replying that it's the right thing to do analyzing what Yang said at the end of the prior
124:56
Speaker A
episode Blake asks if and how Yang knew about her ears Yang answers frankly that she'd had her suspicions since they were paired up noticing a number of different things about Blake that began to tip her off but she figured that Blake would
125:10
Speaker A
tell them all the truth whenever she felt the most comfortable reinforcing that Yang is a rather observant and considerate person Yang finally attacks the heart of the matter asking Blake about her past though she gives Blake an out to stop the conversation if she ever
125:23
Speaker A
feels uncomfortable Blake slowly and cautiously explains that she was once member of the White Fang for most of her life in fact after the fonus revolts up in mantle fonus around the globe would promised equality despite this the Fest
125:37
Speaker A
were subjected to discrimination and hate Humanity still thought of them as lesser beings back when she joined the White Fang were seen as a symbol of peace and unity between humans and fonus to bring to fruition that equality the
125:48
Speaker A
fonus were promised Blake was at the front of every rally part of every boycott she thought they were making a difference but she was just a blind idealist 5 years prior the original leader of the White Fang stepped down a
126:01
Speaker A
leader Blake hints in the vaguest of terms she greatly respects the new leader became more aggressive with his tactics and even turned a blind eye to crimes being perpetrated by the lower level protesters she even began hearing rumors of him actively condoning their
126:15
Speaker A
behavior as well though she never had any confirmation right and wrong became less clear and she started to question what she was doing question the ways she was trying to help the cause it was unnerving and she left the White Fang
126:27
Speaker A
because of the corruption she could feel creeping in she saw what it did to someone she used to consider a dearly close friend a relationship with vaguely romantic implications that turned incredibly sour at the end after leaving she Enlisted the help of tuxen a
126:41
Speaker A
sympathizer with the white Fang's cause but a Critic of the radicalization he shares Blake's disgust for the criminal element of the White Fang and understands it's healthier to to help those wishing to leave the organization then stay with it himself Yang is quiet
126:53
Speaker A
through all this carefully listening and absorbing what she's being told at the end of Blake's Soliloquy she asks the obvious question why didn't she tell her team or even just Yang Blake responds that she already got burned by someone
127:06
Speaker A
she trusted once and wasn't looking for any deep relationships at Beacon she'd spent so much time outside of the kingdoms that it was rare for her to come across Huntsmen that traveled in groups after meeting so many lone wolves
127:17
Speaker A
her natural assumption was that most HT men operated alone it was only after initiation began that she realized she would be stuck with someone for the next 4 years and it left her CAU between wanting to connect with someone and
127:27
Speaker A
wanting to remain detached explaining her fickle investment in the team Yang Just Smiles and says when you're friends with me we're friends for life even if we never see each other again it's not the distance that matters it's the
127:41
Speaker A
connection her words are light at first but heavier melancholic as she says the last line for a brief moment her eyes are Hollow and and her tone becomes bitter back with Ruby she's receiving Yang's message and is heading back to
127:53
Speaker A
the dorm before she can get into the room however she overhears Weiss approaching Pura to talk about something we cut closer to Weiss's perspective and see that Pura is not too happy with the way Weiss handled herself in the
128:04
Speaker A
arguments the other day especially with her bigoted mindset laid bare to the world uncharacteristically Weiss pleads a listening ear and P relents that she's too inclined to be nice even when she thinks someone is wrong the two go up to
128:16
Speaker A
the roof and Ruby follows along Eve dring Weiss admits that she's more than confused about everything happening around her and her team back in Atlas not a person would challenge her except for her own family and she left
128:29
Speaker A
specifically to break free of them but now she's finding it harder and harder to connect with anyone with even the Headmaster of Beacon glaring over his glasses at her she feels sick to her stomach with anxiety she came to Beacon
128:41
Speaker A
to be free but she feels more suffocated than ever and P is the only person she knows who might be able to understand since the mellan is her own kind of celebrity royalty P pulls pieces from what Weiss says to help her come to
128:53
Speaker A
terms with those anxieties and even manages to relate with some of the same grief there was a point in her own life where she only saw the people around her as there for her as servants but after an accident that P was responsible for
129:05
Speaker A
some sense got knocked into her that the people around her were just that people she tried to take responsibility for the accident but the pr team covered it up even if she and the family of the injured party knew what really happened
129:17
Speaker A
she advises his wi to look at people as her equals before anything else human fonus it doesn't matter if she wants to fix the mess between her and her team she'll need to Humble herself just like she is now with PIR she could be as
129:30
Speaker A
skilled and well- trained as she wants no one wants to work with let alone talk to someone who's pompous and ungrateful P looks to the door to the roof knowingly having been aware of Ruby's presence the entire time earning a quiet
129:43
Speaker A
Meep from the team leader beckoning Ruby over with a smile she tells why is that maybe the first first thing she needs to do to get on that path is to learn how to apologize Ruby meekly walks out onto
129:54
Speaker A
the roof as Pi makes her way to the door before she leaves she throws back an implicit invitation to the two saying that Ren plans to make Norah some pancakes and no one wants to miss out on that left on the roof alone Ruby and
130:05
Speaker A
Weiss lock eyes after a moment of silence Ruby weakly says hi cut to Black end of episode the finale of the volume is actually two episodes fused together into one big episode episode to give us the most amount of time to work with the
130:21
Speaker A
episode opens with torchwick and Neo overseeing a small Fleet of bullheads all neatly lined up inside a large hanger he turns to a collection of Thieves wearing White Fang disguises and orders them to move out Roman THS through a pamphlet for the vital
130:33
Speaker A
Festival every page branded with images of Priceless art and he makes the snide remark I always was a big fan of the classics we snap back to rubine Weiss who are still staring awkwardly at each other Ruby says they should probably sit
130:46
Speaker A
down and Weiss emotionally drained agrees the two slowly almost painfully apologize to each other wise for being so unruly and disrespectful and Ruby for being so childish Ruby admits that it's hard being a good leader and Weiss adds
131:01
Speaker A
self-deprecatingly that it doesn't help when the subordinates don't listen Ruby shakes her head saying she doesn't look to her teammates as subordinates every member of Team Ruby is equal all with their own strengths and weaknesses and she admires that about everyone Yang's
131:16
Speaker A
strong and has a big heart Blake's stealthy and level-headed a comment that makes Weiss wins and Ruby ends it off saying that Weiss is smart and confident pulling into herself Ruby explains she's envious of them all she just feels like
131:29
Speaker A
an uncoordinated kid who cheated herself by skipping two years ahead wise quietly digests those words letting Ruby finish after a brief moment of silence Weiss says I don't think that's true you're a clutz you're annoyingly energetic you've got no attention span Ruby blinks at
131:47
Speaker A
Weiss confused at all the insults she draws out but before Weiss finishes off but you've Got Talent you're an incredible fighter and occasionally you come up with a good idea even if they are all insane I guess what I'm trying
132:04
Speaker A
to say is you shouldn't doubt yourself so much and as your partner I shouldn't have fed into that there's a moment of silence before Ruby abruptly says okay then she stands brushes herself off and holds her hand down to Weiss
132:19
Speaker A
let's start over Weiss looks hesitantly up at Ruby's hand before taking it and standing as well coughing into her other hand Ruby hops on her heels and says hello there I'm Ruby Rose and I'll be your team leader and partner for the
132:33
Speaker A
next 4 years Weiss cracks a smile and reintroduces herself I'm Weiss schne and from this point forward I'll be the best partner you'll ever have the Bold response gets Ruby to raise a brow but you're the only partner I'll ever have
132:48
Speaker A
why Stomps her foot and says you know what I mean there's a beat of Silence before the two break down laughing the first genuine laugh shared between them in the series when they calm down Weiss asks about Blake though it's clear that
133:01
Speaker A
even with this changing character she's uneasy about Blake's history Ruby answers that Yang found her though she went quiet so they could talk things out Weiss's equal parts relieved and on edge by the news Ruby says that she's
133:14
Speaker A
confident Yang can handle things suggesting well probably them again in the morning instead Ruby remarks that P definitely just invited them to free pancakes so why not take her up on the offer why is is skeptical about pancakes
133:28
Speaker A
at night but Ruby talks her into it and the two head off to Juniper's dorm room back at tux Blake and yang are settling in for the night with Yang sleeping on tux's couch during some amiable conversation the topic of the White Fang
133:39
Speaker A
crops up and Blake mentions hearing rumor that the White Fang are suddenly committing more crimes inside of veil the news hadn't quite reached Beacon's Rumor Mill and it probably didn't help she actively avoided anything White Fang related while at school however she
133:53
Speaker A
thought it was awe that the White Fang would do any kind of terrorist work well in Veil since it was arguably one of the most amicable kingdoms towards the fonus it makes her wonder if what she overheard about them being framed was
134:03
Speaker A
true tuxen joins them and chimes in not surprised that Blake's heard the rumors as well someone is trying to frame the White Fang while she doesn't agree with the white Fang's methods Blake is worried that these crimes are going to
134:14
Speaker A
further damage the Public's perception of the fonus and push the White Fang to radicalize even more Yang proposes the idea of clearing the white Fang's name suggesting that the only way to prove they didn't do the crime is to go to the
134:26
Speaker A
place where they would most likely go if they were to do it and not find them there right Blake and tuxen both blink at Yang's logic actually giving them pause before tuxen comments that there are Priceless mantle art pieces being
134:39
Speaker A
shipped in for the vital Festival we as an audience can key into how precious these pieces are because the destruction of Art and mantle was already brought up during history class back in episode 12 Yang and Blake set out to investigate
134:52
Speaker A
the docks where the art is being sent intent to stop a suspected potential maybe crime from happening before they leave Yang shoots a message to Ruby telling her what they're planning to do we briefly cut back to Ruby mid pancakes
135:04
Speaker A
with juniper and Weiss who all seem to be reconciling slowly with Norah still glaring Weiss down and Pi pointedly sitting between the two of them awkwardly Ruby scroll pings with Yang's message and she flips it open to read
135:16
Speaker A
her eyes bug out after reading it and she grabs Weiss before booking it out the door there's a moment of befuddlement as Juniper watches them go before Nora just shrugs it off and begins eating Weiss's pancakes when Yang
135:27
Speaker A
and Blake arrive at the Docks they find the guards and workers unconscious or dead and the place crawling with White Fang imposters Blake also sees torchwick among them yelling instructions enraged she breaks away from Yang without a word
135:41
Speaker A
and sneaks over to hold Roman hostage she outs herself in the process and she uses the opportunity to plead to the Fest in the crowd of robbers asking them to think about what they're doing smearing the reputation of the White
135:52
Speaker A
Fang one or two give pause but most are unimpressed by her little speech torrick laughs her off what reputation and he uses the gun in his Cane to escape kickstarting a fight between himself his men Blake and Yang Yang proves herself
136:07
Speaker A
the awesome Powerhouse we saw in the yellow trailer taking on the bulk some of the robbers and kicking the living crap out of just about every one of them in fact during the fight torrick remarks that he's sure he saw her at Junior's
136:18
Speaker A
far before heading out the door clearly amused by The Coincidence during all of this Ruby and Weiss are rushing to back up Yang and Blake using Ruby's speed semblance during a pause to catch their breaths Ruby sees Yang take damage on
136:30
Speaker A
the team AA readout on her scroll and as a nice additional touch Blake status is unavailable because she shut her scroll off to prevent anyone from tracking her spurred onward by Yang being in danger the two push themselves even faster
136:42
Speaker A
before they literally run into Penny accidentally bowling her over the three stand and Ruby asks Penny what are you doing here and she replies I'm helping set up for the vital Festival Weiss angrily says at night penny is about to
136:56
Speaker A
respond but Ruby interrupts her saying we don't have time we have to get to the docks penny is curious as to why and Ruby quickly catches her up to speed that Yang and Blake are in danger Penny claps her hands happily Yang found Blake
137:09
Speaker A
stupendous she was looking for Blake earlier and I tried to point her in the right direction Weiss groans and suggests they leave and Ruby agrees Penny hops on her heels I can help Ruby shakes her head no Penny it's going to
137:23
Speaker A
be dangerous and Penny gives an excitable thumbs up no need to worry I'm combat ready Ruby seems torn and Weiss pinches her brow before dragging Ruby towards the dogs exasperated Weiss groans this weirdo can do whatever she wants we got to get to the docks Penny
137:39
Speaker A
begins following after and asks chippery should I call the authorities and Weiss responds yeah sure whatever cutting back to the docks Blake and yang have taken out most of the ground forces leaving torrick alone he manages to hold off
137:53
Speaker A
Blake but Yang proves overpowering until one of his bullheads arrive to deliver Neo the Girl drops down to deflect one of Yang's blows with an umbrella her form shattering upon impact as Yang destroys a physical illusion created by
138:05
Speaker A
Neo's semblance Looking Glass this is the first confrontation between Yang and Neo and will go a long way towards establishing their rivalry that was never really elaborated upon after the original Volume 2 the fight devolves into Yang versus Neo and Blake versus
138:20
Speaker A
torchwick with the two Beacon girls seemingly outclassed by the criminals at every turn torchwick eventually gets the upper hand on Blake so much so that we see her ARA flaring which we know from previous fights means she's almost out
138:31
Speaker A
of juice he fires an explosive shot at her an attack that might Gravely injure her or even kill her only for it to be blocked by a wall of ice Blake looks up to find Weiss and Ruby both out of
138:42
Speaker A
breath from rushing standing defensively in front of her Blake is happy to see Ruby but confused to see wh who simply says they'll talk about it when they get out of this mess alive Team Ruby finally comes together in an Avengers esque shot
138:55
Speaker A
followed shortly by some light banter between Ruby and torchwick when they recognize each other Yang mentions how slippery Neo is and Ruby formulates a plan she tells wi and Blake to go after Neo or snow cone as Yang nicknamed her
139:07
Speaker A
while Yang and herself will handle torchwick a strategy that ends with them gaining significant territory on the criminal Duo three other bullheads show up and begin firing down at the team to the point that Weiss is having difficulty maintaining defensive ice
139:20
Speaker A
walls Penny finally steps into the fight having seemed hesitant the entire confrontation she unleashes a series of floating swords from her backpack and jumps forward to blow the ever living crap out of each Bullhead King out of control they crash into some nearby
139:34
Speaker A
buildings Ruby is about to run off and make sure the people inside the buildings are safe only for Penny to inform her that the buildings are abandoned there's no need for concern realizing the situation has gone sou Torri hops on the last of his bullheads
139:46
Speaker A
with Neo and the two try to escape Penny however tracks them and shoots down the Airship crashing it into the buildings as well after all the damage sustained from crashing airships the building collapses in on itself just as the
139:58
Speaker A
authorities begin to arrive the assembled Team Ruby all breathe a sigh of relief time cuts forward a bit when all four of our protagonists are getting treated for their wounds Blake tries to explain herself telling Weiss that she's
140:11
Speaker A
no longer part of the White Fang but she's also not going to stop fighting for what she believes in Weiss cuts her off saying I've had 24 hours and 6 minutes to think this all over and I've decided I don't
140:26
Speaker A
care Blake blinks in Surprise asking you don't care Weiss asks back you said you left haven't you Blake nods trying to elaborate but Weiss shushes her I don't want to hear it that's all in the past just know that in the future
140:44
Speaker A
Weiss looks off to the side uncomfortably you have teammates Blake cautiously asks so are we good why sigh and offers a weak smile yeah we're good Ruby looks between them excitedly before cheering yeah Team Ruby is back together the entire team look at Ruby
141:05
Speaker A
with mixed levels of exasperation but then Ruby quickly wonders how they're going to explain all that property damage to the authorities she turns to ask Penny her opinion only to notice that penny is missing the last shot we
141:16
Speaker A
have of Team Ruby for the season is from the car penny is being driven away in her guardian shiing her for such a ridiculous interpretation of protocol we cut to oen sipping his coffee and going over the incoming reports about Team
141:28
Speaker A
Ruby and the dogs he's smiling with Amusement only for it to drop when he gets a message from crow about the queen having pawns cut to Black roll credits in an after credit scene we see that Roman and Neo survived the crash along
141:42
Speaker A
with a few of his henchmen having landed inside an abandoned train station they're trapped in an underground tunnel that has partially collapsed and are trying to find a way out that doesn't require hoofing it down the tracks however several other people wearing
141:56
Speaker A
different more official looking White Fang outfits hold them up Roman tries ordering them around only for one of his men to say those guys aren't with us it clicks for Roman that these are actual White Fang and in a devilishly ironic
142:11
Speaker A
twist they've been captured by the real terrorist organization Roman can't help but laugh he ain't even mad when one of the Fang members suggests killing the imposters along with torchwick and Neo a new female voice turns them down saying
142:26
Speaker A
why waste a perfectly good Pawn the scene lingers only so long as a feminine hand captured in flame Rises into the foreground before being snuffed out to a black screen setting the scene for volume [Music] 2 [Music] [Music]
