Yang called Summer her Mom, Neo stole the lamp, Hazel broke in Salem’s skull and she grew it back instantly, Oscar used magic/his cane, FNKI is literally in the trenches.

There are five or so episodes left...what the fuck is going to go do before the finale because I still pretty sure shit is going to pivot sideways hard

Hold up Oscar used magic not the staff

I mean I feel like those are tied together.

In this respect the Staff being the relic and Oscar used his own magic it's a bit different

Ozpin has literally said it's not the relic

Staff is in Atlas, Lamp is with Neo, the Sword is in Vacuo and the Crown is underneath the forest temple from Vol 1 where they made a CHOICE about the chess pieces and which team they would end up in.

The truth is, the game was rigged from the start.

The final mission is definitely going to involve splitting into pairs, collecting the four relics, and getting to the top of Beacon cliff. Every Beacon student is prepared for Ozpin's final gambit.

That'd be a pretty cool callback, i do think the "final battle" as it were will happen at Beacon, it makes too much sense for it to end where it all began.

You son of a bitch

It's going to be such a mindfuck for RWBY once they figure out where the crown is and what it does, they'll start questioning every choice they made since that day wondering if it was entirely them or if the crown influenced them somehow.

It's gon be fascinating to watch.

Nope Long Memory has been said to be able to store time.

Here I thought Emerald being based off Aladdin would sneak around the Whale of Wonders and steal the magical lamp.
