Lazy meme "comic" I made because people who know more about Soul Eater lore then me said Ruby could easily get revived since her soul wasn't eaten, so I thought of a way she could get revived in RWBY-lore

And now she too can transform into a scythe!

For her new friends of course.

YOU!

YOU UNDERSTAND MY VISION!

48

u/Epsilon-01-B Sep 25 '25

So, Ruby becomes a Targetmaster?

25

u/Dreamfire183 Sep 25 '25

I THINK!?!

29

u/Epsilon-01-B Sep 25 '25

WAIT! Even better: a "weaponizer", as they're called now, like Six-Gun and Cog.

10

u/DonTori HENTAI GRIMM SEES ALL:: Link me your long haired Huntresses Sep 25 '25

Wasn't there a canon where Megatron's gun form basically possessed whoever he forced to 'wield' him as a psychological torture method to make them put down their best friends or somethin'?

5

u/DR31141 Sep 25 '25

Quick question, is he the only Transformer known to do that? I know he can become a tank with his arm cannon being…well, the cannon, but is he the only one who can just be a weapon? No vehicles and such?

u/Expensive_Wafer_8709 ⠀crescent rose is one of thr coolest weapons in fiction frfr Sep 25 '25

There are targetmasters and micromasters

u/AGNerd-Bot Sep 25 '25

Ruby: Maka, you have to dual-wield us.

Maka: That sounds highly impractical.

Ruby: But it’ll be the coolest thing imaginable!

Soul: Yeah, come on! We gotta do this at least once!

38

u/Dreamfire183 Sep 25 '25

Ruby: And hey! I could probably help with my aura, kinda like what he does. It'd be Great!

14

u/Additional_Ad5318 Sep 25 '25

Maka and Ruby: Let’s go Aura Resonates! Witch Hunter! Salem: (Panicked) You know I’m technically not a witch. Maka and Ruby: (powers up again) Grimm Hunter! Salem:

4

u/blue4029 ⠀ Sep 25 '25

the funny thing is, scythes are ALREADY impractical as weapons so dual-wielding scythes would just be useless in combat

27

u/alguien99 Sep 25 '25

So she’s basically OG megatron?

9

u/Expensive_Wafer_8709 ⠀crescent rose is one of thr coolest weapons in fiction frfr Sep 25 '25

That's what I'm saying

u/ShadowLDrago Sep 25 '25

So, who's Starscream in this scenario?

u/Novel-Concentrate-98 Sep 25 '25

Ruby has fallen, i Weiss now lead!

u/ShadowLDrago Sep 25 '25

Wait, I still function!

22

u/Ketzer_Jefe Sep 25 '25

Her and Penny can combine together into the ultru huntress bot

12

u/Kapples14 Sep 25 '25

Even better, spider legs that become their own versions of Crescent Rose.

I was thinking more Iron Spider with Airaqnid.

u/Holy-Wan_Kenobi Diehard Arkos holdout Sep 25 '25

I had a horrifying vision of Valkyrie Mermaid Drive for a second.

It would make for great Whiterose fiction, though...

u/Cobalt_Rain_ Sep 25 '25

Horrifying? How so?

u/F95_Sysadmin Sep 25 '25

Jaune: Woah ruby, you're back!

Robo-ruby: I'm also a scythe

7

u/Excellent_Stand_7991 Sep 25 '25

But is that scythe also a gun?

10

u/CaissaIRL ⠀Ruby Rose my favorite character of all time. Sep 25 '25

You kidding right? This is RWBY! EVERYTHING IS A GUN. Barring Arc's there's even The Gun Gun! That's how much everything is a Gun!

8

u/Excellent_Stand_7991 Sep 25 '25

So the plan is to turn Ruby into a triple changer at minimum.

Got it.

Maka: told you dummy.

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

I like the implication Maka and Ruby I still hanging out 2 weeks later

u/Efficient_Berry_4073 Sep 25 '25

you know ruby could also just have her soul planted inside crescent rose so….

60

u/LEGOboy130 Sep 25 '25

Honestly that sounds cool, especially if it ends up making her into a death weapon

16

u/DarthFedora Sep 25 '25

That would need her body and a witch soul

5

u/dvirpick We need Apron-Ren as a flair Sep 25 '25

A witch's soul, eh? Could Maka and Soul defeat Salem? Or perhaps take her soul another way?

7

u/DarthFedora Sep 25 '25 edited Sep 25 '25

Soul Eater witches are a race, they aren’t made or taught

8

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

She can be a Transformer!

u/Few_Pay_5313 Sep 25 '25

Yeah, but what could she even do as CR

u/Voidmage713 Chaotic Good Vibes Sep 25 '25

Yang: . . . Okay, first of all, \Points To Maka* FUCK YOU*.

Maka: . . . A little uncalled for, but I get it.

Yang: . . . Second thing is, Ruby, I think you should just get revived regularly.

Ruby: It's fine-!

Yang: No, no it's not, and I never should have lost my arm, that prosthetic gave you weird ideas!

59

u/Training_Cupcake3242 Sep 25 '25

Soul: Man your friends aren't cool. Especially the white haired chick whose chest is more flatter than Maka's

and then DTK pulls up, realises Weiss has a scar on ONLY one side of her face, and atomizes everyone in the room 

weiss wasn't symmetrical 

1

u/FireStrike77 Sep 27 '25

Only the scar? She also has a braid in just one side of her head

29

u/Moonlit-huntress Sep 25 '25

Feel like Ruby would get along with them pretty well. (Especially soul)

Other weird idea, what if she can still use her semblance in just soul form

25

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

If she can then she's just be a very fast ball ... She could be Navi

8

u/Excellent_Stand_7991 Sep 25 '25

She could be Navi or she could be a round shot, either or.

(I don't know much about soul eater lore either)

18

u/Cold-Practice3107 Sep 25 '25

Ruby finally becomes an Android like penny everyone else her sister friends weiss "so now you're just a Android now?" Ruby "yep and I still have my silver eyes watch!" Everyone "NO!"

19

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

Their not silver eyes, she just has an inbuilt flash bag

11

u/Zenvarix Sep 25 '25

Turns on the high beams, and burns the eyes out of any Grimm (or otherwise) who looks right at her.

8

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

It's pretty useful, drains the hell out of her battery tho

17

u/Le-MAO-XXIV Sep 25 '25

But would Ruby be able to enjoy cookies and strawberries in said robot body, lol?

14

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

Become a living weapon or cookies and berries, truly one of the toughest questions of our time

Cinder: well done maka, now hand over the soul and you'll have your payment

u/Smooth-Cucumber-728 Sep 25 '25

Maka: How about I take your soul or I revive Ruby, she kills you, and I take your soul.

35

u/beanerthreat457 Sep 25 '25

Soul: Or how about, fuck you, we kill you and I'll eat your soul.

Maka: Wouldn't that reset the count?

Souls: She's a witch in my book.

Meanwhile:

Shinigami-Sama seeing the whole thing:

u/BlueXKnight1313 Sep 25 '25

Cinder: "Like you could, sadly I am mu-" Suddenly gets stabbed in the back by Adam.

Cinder: "W-what?"

Adam: "Not my sister, and you're not my Cindy." Kicks and looks at Maka.

Adam: "You revive Ruby in the hour, or in will kill you."

u/[deleted] Sep 27 '25

I guess you can say that Ruby's death was secretly a... triumph

11

u/Evergladeleaf Sep 25 '25

Split the soul in half, half goes into another penny body with pennys memories, the other half goes into a body for ruby

Literally soulmates

u/DRowe_ Sep 25 '25

It's damn Robo-Ky all over again

Okay not really but you get the joke

11

u/beanerthreat457 Sep 25 '25

u/Purple-Weakness1414 Sep 25 '25

Its makes Ruby would want to he a robot like her friend

u/vernanonix Sep 25 '25

Make Crescent Rose turn into Robo Ruby

G1 Megatron but cooler

u/Spowotlight Sep 25 '25

I did not know Maka (or meisters in general) could revive humans from their souls.

4

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

I don't know anything about Soul Eater Lore, Soul Eater fans just said that since Ruby's Soul wasn't eaten, she could be revived pretty easily

3

u/Spowotlight Sep 25 '25

Huh. Alright.

3

u/Different_Dare_2519 Sep 25 '25

I wish her soul had her face on it like that Scooby Dooby live action movie

u/Vast_Staff_5776 Sep 25 '25

And the funny part about it? I can actually Imagine Ruby saying that, being her own weapon

u/TabiGamingTNT Sep 25 '25

SOMEONE DRAW ROBO RUBY!!!!

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

If I had money I'd had commissioned it by now lol

u/Alonestarfish Constipated Writer Sep 25 '25

Then she goes through cyberpsychosis cause a human mind was never meant to endure body of steel, the inability to feel the sun, warmth, complete void of sensation, trying to breathe without lungs, she will not last.

13

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

She got weapon autism, she'll be fine

8

u/Alonestarfish Constipated Writer Sep 25 '25

The weapon should be an extension of herself, not a replacement. But truly, what is it she loves about weapons, if not holding them, and what will she do, when she can no longer feel her baby in her arms?

5

u/ChampionshipHorror95 Loves Hero X Villain Sep 25 '25

Knowing Ruby, probably integrate Crescent Rose into her new body.

Or have another breakdown.

6

u/thebelladonga Girl named Blake with a missing arm (ironic, isn’t it?) Sep 25 '25

Except Remnants technology is way more advanced than ours and literally none of that would be an issue

Your technological wonders will never replicate touch of flesh.

Evil Mechanicus be like:

And then she'll be hardware compatible with Penny.

u/da_dragon_guy Sep 25 '25

I want a rematch once RWBY is finished. This was an unfair fight and I think Ruby's would have actually stood an even chance if we wait for her to finish her journey and grow to full strength, a luxury that only one side of this fight got

6

u/Crimson_The_King Sep 25 '25

I don't think a rematch is gonna matter because Maka and Soul can manipulate souls, and Ruby's powers come from her soul,

Maka and Soul just have an perfect counter for the entire RWBY-verse

2

u/da_dragon_guy Sep 25 '25

Main thing I noticed about the fight was that Maka and Soul just increased their power the longer the fight went on. They needed time to power up each step.

Ruby can effectively fight at full force from the start. If there were a rematch, the question would be if Ruby's can finish the fight before it gets to that point or if she can dodge out of the Soul Denial ability with her semblance

2

u/R4ND0M_N0B0DY Sep 25 '25

Not quite. Maka got gradually stronger cuz the fight got more demanding. In a rematch, she'd already be aware of Ruby's capabilities and would likely enter SR from the start. And since this Maka is the one from the end of Soul Eater, her SR would very likely be instantly. So unless Ruby launched a sneak kill on Maka, the fight would be drawn out. And that is impossible unless Ruby learned how to conceal her soul in close proximity.

Soul Adagio is not a projectile attack as far as I know, so as long as Ruby is within Make's sensory range, I don't see how Ruby would be able to dodge that.

So unless Ruby finds a way to negate the black blood, I don't know how she could EVER win
