There's absolutely no way Cinder really believed a word of what she was saying.
Pour one out for Penny. She only wanted to save the world. Manipulated or not, Pyrrha needs to get hounded by the Fates ASAP.

Well, I didn't say she did or that she was a positive character, although it wouldn't be the first time somebody ate up their hype as much to start believing it.

But you have to agree the prospect of stealth killing machines is a bit frightening. As far as Pyrrha goes, while I would like for JNPR to die get less screentime, it makes Penny quite a failure of a project if she can't dodge her own weapons with what I assume would be superior-to-human senses and reflexes. Back to drawing board. Depending on laws in remannt that might not even be considered a kill.

It isn't that she can't dodge her own weapons it's that her weapons are literally tied to her. She wasn't killed by getting hit with her own swords, she got tangled in the strings that attach the swords to her which were moving very quickly and being as they are made of titanium (or the Remnant equivalent) they sliced her apart. I don't think anyone would be capable of defeating an android of Penny's model unless they had a semblance like Pyrrha's.

>Penny a failure cause she can't dodge.

I dunno, kind of hard to dodge when magnetism is holding you in place.

But hey, maybe that's just me.

@Forsythe

Do you understand how magnets work

[Forsythe]

*sigh*

Yes, I can see it'S the string that cut her, those are part of her weapons system as well. As I said, I assume her eyes can capture in much higher "resolution" than a human's eye.

That she is held in place by magnetism is debatable at best. a) Pyrrha's blast forced the swords out, so it should have done the same to Penny. As to why it didn't, your guess is as good as mine, might have soemthing to do with aura. b) Penny straightens up right before the strings start to wrap around her. Not very consistent with being 'held in place' imho.

@HereComesTheSnow

I had heard that it is because of the earth. After all, the earth attracts things to its surface, and magnets are made of metal, which comes from the earth. In this case, the preparation of the metal preserves that attractive property.

Follow the order of events, and you find two reasons Penny didn't dodge.

First, when Pyrrha created her magnet blast, it not only forced Penny's swords backwards, it also tried to force her backwards herself. Because she's heavier than the blades, she managed to keep her feet, but the polarity froze her systems long enough that she didn't have time to react before the impact. THAT'S what was meant by "held in place".

Second, one of the strings came at her laterally, while the other came at her vertically. Since both are connected to her back, there's no way she could have dodged both.

@Forsythe

*eye roll*

Her being able to see what was happening has nothing to do with her ability to dodge it. The strings are attached to her, she can't get away from them. If it was one or two swords that an enemy took control of maybe but it was more like a hundred of them. I'm sure she could see what was happening very clearly, she knew she was going to die sooner than an average human would have, very true.

@chukklehed
Well, I'll give you the first point now that I slowed it down. As for the rest... bah. We know little to nothing about Remnant's technology like whether their computers are even susceptible to EMP we could argue forever and never get anywhere.
@Prince of Seraphs
I was (am) under the impression that the couple hundred swords were another of Neo/Emerald's illusion stuff.

actually we do. Penny herself admitted that magnets mess with her computers, it was said in a previous episode.

What possible purpose could that serve? They wanted Pyyrha to seem ruthless and Penny to be revealed. Why would they make Penny seem more powerful and thus Pyyrha's counterattack necessary. That just promotes the notion of 'Pyrrha had no choice' which is the opposite of what Ember's broadcast was meant to suggest.

They only needed to provoke pyrrha into the attack, and who's to say everyone seen that? The evil team shown the ability to make everyone but Yang see something that didn't happen, pretty sure they can make one person only see something. Like Yang, Pyrrha will be the only one claiming that she had no choice. *shrug* In any event you only see the regular number of blades as they pass by Penny and then fall to the ground.
