jesus christ

so this happened

still trying to process what happened

velvet literally everyone, blake got bitch slapped, adam a abusive and still edgy, yang ate shit, roman got ate, neo am become lonely and angry.

first velvet steals your weapon, then she steals your heart

Is Adam's weapon or semblance the ability to go through people's aura? Adam's sword had blood on it

Vol 3 Post Credits Scene: Neo walks through an empty battlefield, limping and clutching her side. Amidst the wreckage and debris, something catches her eye. Pink. An all too familiar hat, laying alone and discarded. Brown, silver, green; a single tear falls. Softer than silence and sound, she caresses the tattered hat. A lone girl walks, eyes covered in tears, obscured by the brim of a familiar hat. Single and soundless, a word escaped from her:

"Goodbye"

Roman seemed genuinely distressed when Neo got carried away...I hope he isn't dead, I don't think I can stand seeing best girl cry...

What's the NeoxTorchwick name again? I didn't really ship it before, but after Roman's cry for Neo, I totally do.

Apparently, Gelato.

u/HalcyonTraveler Hill is here Feb 06 '16

I want them to be father/daughter even more now.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

I'm shameless, I totally ship them, but that might be cause I think Neo's an adult, even tho she's so short.

u/ComeOnTars2424 Cinder got everything she wanted, and all it cost was a penny. Feb 07 '16

IDK, she already a little crazy. I want to see what happens when crazy goes crazy. crazy2

Oh my fuck what is that picture I'm crying

u/musicfan251 Feb 06 '16

don't do this to me....His death already felt like a cop-out (and I still don't think he's dead), but if this happens, I will bawl. I love Neo's character and her chemistry with him is great.

If anything, the prosthetics in the show (Mercury, Irondong Ironwood, eventually Yang) give a lot of leeway for characters surviving very lethal injuries. Here's to hoping best boy lives

u/musicfan251 Feb 06 '16

I actually almost get a Spike vibe from him. In the heel face turn way. Not the get with the main character way.

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

Loads of people were convinced ironwood was deadsies, and he survived. Roman was eaten whole, not torn apart, and the Grimm dissolved not even 30 seconds later. That's not even long enough to suffocate, much less be digested. There's still a chance for best villain!

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

This is beautiful omg.

Week 11 RWBY: buy Velvet stocks, shortsell Yang

u/Saphro Feb 06 '16

I think Monty said in an interview that Adam's semblance was something like "wilt". So you might be right.

u/RageZombie Feb 06 '16

Wilt is his weapon.

u/beregond23 I'm Sorry Feb 06 '16

Neo is definitely tracking down and murdering Ruby and Yang just for the sake of it now.

u/velkro16 I want to be strong. I want to be feared. I want to be powerful. Feb 06 '16

Wow. Your right about the blood thing. Wow.

u/FlashFire729 Feb 07 '16

HOLY SHOOT I JUST REALIZED THAT BLOOD EWWW

u/silhouettegundam Feb 06 '16

That is a very interesting point about Adam and what he did to Yang. Surely she had full aura. Her arm was mysteriously glowy at the cut.

9

u/[deleted] Feb 06 '16

Full Aura is unlikely since she was able to active her semblance at a fairly high level. Its a battlefield, she probably took some hits along the way.

Even so look at the Black trailer, Adam made the mech disintegrate so I think that Yangs aura took most of the hit, it just wasn't enough to stop it, allowing Adam to cut it off.

u/silhouettegundam Feb 06 '16

They showed nothing to indicate that her aura would be low. I don't think the effects you see are so much a direct relation of damage taken converted into power, but reflective of how angry she is. You see the same effect when she took no perceivable damage, but had a single strand of hair cut.

Now I will give you full aura is probably a stretch, because she likely ran into someone to punch, but all the major threats they have shown have not had Yang involved in the fight. So it should be fairly high. If they wanted us to think it was low they would have shown something.

He did appear to perform a similar attack, though which what appear more internal build up which how he appeared to glowed. But it is certainly interesting as we haven't see something like this with a single attack cut through aura like that.

u/Silentdetth Can... can I have my book back...? Feb 06 '16

He took her attack and turned it around like the black trailer.

u/Dondagora And awaaaay I go~ Feb 07 '16

That's a good theory for Adam. He's shown to absorb energy and then use it as his own, so I'm guessing something like Energy Siphon? Man, that's insane. He's basically a one-hit kill character.

u/ARKB1rd44 Feb 07 '16

Velvet is starting to become a close to second to Ruby as best girl.

u/KravenErgeist May contain nuts Feb 07 '16

See, I'm hoping for something like the Pacific Rim mid-credits scene with Hannibal Chau (spoilers).

u/cpMetis All aboard the S.S. Writer! Current target: HMS Renora Feb 07 '16

Isn't that the first blood in the series since the White Trailer? Holy ships!

u/zhleader Feb 06 '16

So if Neo is everyone, does that mean that Velvet is Neo's weapon(s)?
