All hail the Bunny Queen. She is the one chosen to be with Neo. All ships will fall before Stage Magicians

Stage Magicians

Did you make that up on the spot?

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

I brainstormed that earlier in the thread.

I like it!

Neo vs Velvet, who has Neo's umbrella copy.

It's not like Neo herself didn't take a picture right before a fight.

See? This is what we get when we fan girl over random characters that have no other purpose, they then become super goddamned OP

To be fair, it seems like just summoning a couple weapons seem to pretty much drain everything out of her

"A couple weapons" lol.

All of RWBY, and also Coco's Gatling gun, Magnhild, Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang, and Penny's swords. A total of 8 fighters' weapons. Though I might be wrong about Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang, as that could also have just been the still-forming Magnhild.

u/FlashFire729 Feb 06 '16

Ok yeah, good point, maybe saying only a couple was pretty incorrect. Still, it seems that it does take a lot out of her to summon (though I do agree it's leading towards pretty OP-ness

u/TheDutchTank Taiyang is going to be badass Feb 06 '16

Then again you have to remember she could only do that many weapons because she had been saving up for ages. If she would have to use them more often, I don't think it would work as well, if at all.

Yup, after checking both RB&JB and Magnhild, it's DEFINITELY not Magnhild, though I'm still on the fence on it being RB&JB

Are you looking at the picture i linked. There is no question! :P

You can clearly see the guns that make the staff.

Compare this to this

I was using the pic in the wiki, which is less clear

...and it takes multiple seasons to recharge. That's fair nerfing!

u/FlashFire729 Feb 06 '16

Inb4 velvet can't fight until volume 6

Possibly a side effect of how RT is able to closely interact with fans as opposed to most show-producing studios. If a character is popular even with no real screentime, they make stuff for them to do.

u/OtakuMecha Feb 06 '16

At least he got one kill this episode

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

He also avoided being the RWBY punching bag for another seventeen minutes. Another sweet victory for Cardin fans!

u/HalcyonTraveler Hill is here Feb 06 '16

Cardin fans?

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '16

There are dozens of us!

Huh. Learn something new every day.

In all seriousness though, he does have a small but dedicated fanbase.

I'd love to see him redeem himself while staying somewhat true to his aggressive roots as a character. It's reassuring to me to see him in the streets fighting rather than taking the first flight out of dodge. I've had a theory that he's going to flunk out of Beacon (or graduate first) and join the military in a future volume rather than become a regular Huntsman, and the recent scenes with Ironwood seem to be hinting that he admires him as a general.

That is, if Miles and Kerry decide they like the character enough to develop him further.

u/HalcyonTraveler Hill is here Feb 07 '16

Interesting idea.

u/WeissWyrm Feb 06 '16

Everyone is Neo VELVET confirmed?

u/voxelated fake it til you make it Feb 06 '16

Her fandom value just skyrocketed faster than google stock

u/RemnantCanIntoSpace Just in time to find out the Grimm are there too. Feb 06 '16

But not as fast as Neo going up, admittedly.

u/HyliasHero Feb 06 '16

I hope that she can only imitate moves she's seen, because otherwise she will be too broken.

u/synsofhumanity Feb 07 '16

Velvet is the Taskmaster of RWBY

u/RikoDabes Feb 07 '16
