Ruby is so strong and brave and magnificent, the way she defended Pyrrha, someone I thought would never need to be protected. And she's only fifteen I cannot believe.

Also BLAKE seeing Adam again, holy shit. And his line could've been cool but I don't think his voice actor is very good tbh. He's just so awkward.

But best voice actor has gotta be Torchwick's so I'm glad Torchdick's back.

That scene actually gave me an idea that what if at some point Ruby looses her scythe and has to make a new weapon but uses Penny's AI as part of said weapon, or just have her transform into her weapon a la Soul Eater style? At any rate, I would love to see Ruby dual wielding Penny's swords more.

The Torchdick and the Flaming Corgi will rise again!

Someone else who thought of the Penny-blades being used by someone else...nice.

So here are a number of theories I thought I'd share. Or questions with answers suspected. These are drawn from clues throughout all three seasons of RWBY.

First: Cinder has some kind of agreement with the Grimm.
Reasoning: I find her relationship with the Grimm rather...convenient. She has a glove with some sort of special Aura-sucking Grimm spider thing, she can get the Grimm to hop in White Fang dropships and let themselves be ferried to Beacon, etc. In addition, Doctor Oobleck said that not all Grimm are mindless...I bet there is some alpha Grimm out there that Cinder dealt with before she even recruited Emerald and Mercury. What I still don't know are her motives.

Second: Penny will return.
Reasoning: This is kinda a stretch, however firstly, Penny is a robot. Death may or may not be the end for her. Second, she said something to Ruby that got me thinking. She said that she wanted to attend Beacon academy, but then Ruby said they wouldn't let her. She responded, "Don't worry Ruby! I have a plan!" Why would RT include that bit if it would never even be revealed, much less come to fruition, due to her untimely demise?

I had a third...but I forgot it.

Finally, an observation.

There are 20+ teenagers who attend various combat schools, are armed with high-tech and very lethal weaponry which they very much know how to use, originally brought together for a combat tournament, now faced with a large-scale attack by multiple enemies...a lot of which being the very force they were being trained to fight in the first place, and the normal defenses are failing...miserably. So naturally, people say things like, "Run!" "No one would blame you if you left." and "Save yourselves."

What teenager in their right mind would POSSIBLY actually follow that advice? Could anyone think of any scenario where they might NOT charge in and help fight?

Did Roman just die
I cannot believe that after #rekt'ing Ruby with Neo
My favorite voice actor and villain just...died.

Adam is so strong?! And YANG damn. So gay for Blake.

Just.

JFC. This episode. And Ozpin finally...might do something lmao. He's just kinda been there.

Okay so Velvet's box thing is really cool, but...what can she do without it? She was just..kinda there... I am so confused. A huntress can't just...not be able to fight. lol

HOwever, with Velvet, she apparently needs to build this ability up. She was going to use it at the end of volume 2, but Coco told her not to waste it. She needed permission to use it now.

So what was she doing otherwise? Apparently she was just standing around up until now? Like, I don't understand what else she has if this is supposed to be her big "once in a blue moon" thing. If this makes sense?

What if "once in a blue moon" has something to the number of weapons she can pull out? Just an observation that all her weapons came out as blue hardlight so I thought there might be some relation.

Or it could be that she's the one-off move of the team sorta like a full powered Yang is the one-off for RWBY.
