RWBY 3x1 Reaction Early Access!

So, no results from last week poll about Team CFVY? Does that mean it is still open?

Pretty please guys, at least before Ch. 6, that's when the things start to change, and you better watch the battle with some things still intact

Shipping Is Magic

Would you guys watch the Death Battle between Yang and Tifa from Final Fantasy?

Congrats on reaching your new goal!

Rogue Agent

Congratulations on reaching your new goal of $4,000. I guess I am doing my part of that. :-) See you for Westworld when you guys get around to watching that again.

i am happy

This is well worth the 5 dollars!!! Just be careful with spoilers on YouTube, this volume has a lot of things people would want to spoil. Love the reactions, keep up the good work!

Nicholas Roca

Just wanna warn you guys. You should try to avoid comments as much as possible now that you have hit volume 3. People will try with all their might to spoil you, and thats just rude.

Nora is based on Thor the Norse god of Strength and Oak Trees. With that information you can deduce her semblance (you will see her semblance within the next couple of episodes). We still don't know what Ren's and Jaune's Semblances are.

In fact, that entire scene (Ruby talking to her mom's grave) can be interpreted as the RT Staff saying goodbye to Monty. In my mind atleast

The tournament takes place over multiple days. So each combatant has a resting period between matches

Maybe red's like roses? Maybe it's the pool of blood The innocents will lay in When in the end you've failed to save them? Their dying eyes Are wide and white like snow And now they know The cost of trusting your obliteration Mirrors will shatter Crushed by the weight of the world The pillars collapse in shame There'll be no rest There'll be no love There'll be no hero in the end Who will rise above And when it ends The good will crawl The shining light will sink in darkness Victory for hate incarnate Misery and pain for all When it falls Swallowed by the darkness Soon the moon is bathed in black The light of hope is taken And discontent is the contagion The blinding eyes That burn a yellow flame The embers that remain Will light the fuse of condemnation Kingdoms in tatters Hung on the brink of a war The peace will succumb to flames This is not a tragedy It's not an accident You placed your faith in fools And now you'll smother in lament They play the part of allies Claiming peace their only goal But once the fight for power starts They'll eat each other whole Their iron gloves point fingers They'll wage a war of blame And mankind will wilt in pain There'll be no rest There'll be no love There'll be no hero in the end Who will rise above And when it ends The good will crawl The shining light will sink in darkness Victory for hate incarnate Misery and pain for all When it falls

Fun Fact: In the beginning of the episode when the crows fly towards the sun, that is Monty Oum's signature

So, between now and before Ch. 4, pretty please react to Death Battle: Yang vs Tifa, it also serves to enhance how awesome Yang is

Everything with a soul has an aura and a semblance, but not everyone has discovered their semblance yet. As for how the tournament works, after the four on four two members move on together and one of the two that were chosen moves onto the singles (yes, I believe it has to be one of the two that were in the previous round).

i thought you guys would've rewound to the photo to see what rubys mom looked like, since we've not seen her .

The fights are definitely different since Monty died, but they're still awesome.

I think Yang and Weiss were a good choice. Weiss is without a doubt the most versatile member of their team (almost to the point of being broken if it weren't for her lack of endurance) and Yang is the tankiest, heaviest hitting member of the team. That said, I've always thought the set up of the tournament is a little odd since the members that go on would get progressively more sore and exhausted. At the very least, I feel like the last round should be open to the entire team as well since the people that work best as a member of a team may not necessarily be the best at fighting solo. As for the opening, I may be in the minority, but I really like the opening for this Volume. At the very least, I can understand the lyrics better than Volume 2's. That one took me a few weeks (I tended to skip the opening on rewatches) to figure out. For the first Volume, I really liked the opening initially, but the more I listened to it, the more I just didn't love it, which hasn't happened to me with this one yet despite putting it in a playlist I listen to every day. They released a slower, more somber version of the Volume 1 opening on the Volume 3 soundtrack (it doesn't show up in the series, so this isn't a spoiler), which I much prefer.

I fucking love this episode. It is a great start to Volume 3 especially with how it starts. I love seeing Ruby visit her mother's grave because even though it's very sad Ruby is still so adorable and upbeat. I am disappointed we didn't get to see Tai Yang talk. I love that Professor Oobleck and Professor Port are the commenters for the tournament. I really like the fight and the members of team ABRN. I especially like Reese Chloris with her hover-board guns and Arslan Altan with her awesome strength. I love how Blake takes out Reese and the plan they come up with to take out the rest of the team. I also love the song that is played during this fight. I love how talented the old shop keep is and I bet he is a badass. I really want to know why Weiss's credit card was declined. I love how hilarious Blake's obsession with tuna is. Team JNPR is great and Neath Oum voicing Ren is really good and I love Nora and Jaune's antics. I love how Emerald pickpockets Ruby to get closer to team RWBY. I love how Neopolitan is the 4th member of Cinder's team just disguised. Also they are all great actors. I love how happy Emerald acts around most people but the minute she leaves she's like fuck team RWBY they’re too goddamn happy. Mercury has a new voice actor and it is the amazing Yuri Lowenthal. I can't wait to see how team Bronze fight's and I know team JNPR can beat them. Also team Bronze is from Shade Academy from Vacuo and that is where Cinder's team is from. I don't think this is a coincidence because the name shade alludes to the darkness. I have a wild theory that Jaune will figure out his aura powers next episode. Also a piece of trivia I learned from the wiki is that the crows flying into the sunset form Monty Oum's signature.

YEESSS! THE HYPE BEGINS

Love the shirt ;)

I've been so ready for Volume 3 since you started the first episode. Volume 3 is just so good. Also, Ren's voice actor changes from this point, as Monty Oum was his voice actor, and he passed away before Volume 3 began. Monty's older brother, Neath Oum, began doing Ren's voice from this point.
