RWBY Season 6 Episode 8 Review What Ruby's Missing

RWBY takes character inspiration from many fairy tales so when I saw the twin guards I was thinking maybe Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum from Alice and Wonderland were their original source.
In the world, remnant Faunas are less accepted than gays or women imagine being a gay female fauna Ilia's struggle is real.

What would the gods think of the fauna if they were to come back? Would they judge humanity on how they treated the fauna or would the judge the fauna as part of humanity?

I like Caroline Codovin, she is condescending and charming at the same time. Caroline is very patriotic and with patriotism comes the potential for segregation it fits in with her character that she someone who is quite literally a border keeper would want strict borders and thinks of a Fauna as a questionable character. She strict on borders, cashews and also strict on the borders between humans and fauna.

Caroline's blunt and honest the biggest potential flaw is that she is too rigged and does not know when to be flexible.

Because of the seniority and height, only Maria can effectively trade wits with Caroline without seeming unjustifiably disrespectful or like a bully. I love their relationship.


I think we all knew how Juane would react to the story from the entrance but the way he turned on Oscar was still really good. Ruby is the leader in the eyes of her peers when Weiss tried to defend Oscar from Jaune he continued when Yang called him to stop he continued the only time the room went silent and stopped is when Ruby put her foot down. The same as with the lamp falling down the well when Ruby puts her foot down the team listens



Magic came from the god of darkness and although Ruby's silver eyes cannot destroy magic because it is not only darkness it makes sense that the darkness inside of the magic would make the user in this case Cinder vulnerable. I think that's what Ruby is missing.

I believe Salem took at least one more dip in the pool of Grimm after her and Ozmar's fight because her appearance changed.

Although Salem cannot be destroyed maybe she can be purged of the darkness within by the power of the silver eyes perhaps that's why she wants all the silver eyed warriors dead because she does not want to be purged, negativity and power can be addictive.

Salem was right there when the god of light used his eyes to destroy the Grimm so she is probably more than aware.

 I think the series will end with Salem being purged and learning the importance of both life and death which will allow her to move on. I think Ozpin will also move on at the same time allowing Oscar to be his on entity not just one of Omar's lives. Ozpin was really hurt when his story was told I think if she as purged he would open his heart to her again.


After the scenes with Jaune from the entrance coming true, I think we all now have a higher suspicion that the scene with Qrow being pulled back by those dark hands is part of an episode and we are just waiting on the setup. Does anyone hold any hope for Qrow?

RWBY Season 6 Episode 7 Review The Grimm Reaper Salems Met Her Match




Salem wants Ruby kept alive and in the entrance we see Ruby fighting off the same dark hands used to pull Hazel down are Ruby's eyes of value to Salem and why considering she is invincible? Cinder is defying Salem's will by trying to have Ruby killed by Neo. This is a potential death flag.



The fight between Maria and her hunters was in real time I checked which was a seriously nice touch. And now we are all wondering who sent the hunters after Maria and will they come for Ruby as well and are they responsible for Ruby's mother going missing. On a side note it is believed Ruby's mother Summer Rose is dead and if so a good guess to the cause would be her silver eyes, they made her a target for the same people or person responsible for the attempt on Maria's life. If she were alive would Raven's bond with her be strong enough for her to use her semblance to find her? Cinder Fall is the fall maiden and fall is in her name if Summer were alive it would be interesting if she somehow turned out to be the Summer maiden.

The specifics of silver eye abilities are not quite clear yet but I definitely can see some parallels with Medusa after Maria turned the Grimm to stone. The way Maria used her Scythes as  double-sided Scythe reminded me of Darth Maul with the double lightsaber
We blink in order to keep our eyes lubricated so why does Maria need to blink with her Robot eyes?


Jaune's sister is funny the way he teases him is hilarious, he has always been comedic relief and the fact the Ruby list him as vomit boy on her phone reminded me of how funny Jaune has been in earlier seasons.
Given the size of the cast, a Lesbians couple is statistically acceptable, it does not feel forced like in some shows. since Legend of Korra the closet has been opened I mean door.
With Qrow there and the military radar system on the fritz, we can expect an attack from Grimm maybe not large scale like Beacon but large enough to perhaps get our heroes in the militaries good graces and create a distraction for Cinder and Neo. The only member of team RWBY not affected by the baby rabies is Blake who is the only one with a potential baby daddy lined up.


This episode had everything plot development, action, loss and comedy you got to see a little of what encompasses the series as a whole in a positive light and cuteness like never before. I don't even think Salem could resist that face her defeat would be inevitable.

RWBY Season 6 Episode 6 Review

RWBY Season 6 Episode 6 Review
The episode begins with Ruby staring at the moon, she does not see it the same way since Ozpin's or Ozma's story was revealed I wonder if silver eyes somehow connected to the moon and its remnants?
Ruby was the most resistant and to the apathy's influence is that somehow down to her silver eyes, I mean yang is the most positive and upbeat character surely on personality alone she should have been the last to fall prey to the Apathy's influence.

The irony is the apathy could conquer the world if they were more motivated they, are like the stoners of the world of Remnant.

A nice little touch when they were looking for the lamp and Blake suggested turning off the lights to
look for the glow reminding us she is a fauna and can see in the dark when she spotted the lamp first.

Ozpin is aware of silver eyes however none of his previous eyes possessed the trait so his experience is not first hand. Did Ozpin make the youngest member of team RWBY Ruby the leader because of her eyes? Her mother Summer Rose was the leader of team STRQ and she also possessed silver eyes.

With the exception of Qrow and Oscar the team all had to fight against the apathy and after being exposed to so much apathy were able to develop in the way they needed to continue against Salem when it would be easier not to, the apathy they faced after Salem's story is nothing compared to the apathy they faced against the Grimm making the inner battle against the apathy caused by Ozma's story much easier to defeat .
The reason Ozpin did not tell his story is that people may give in to apathy he knows this from personal experience after how broken he was from Jin's answer to his question.
Qrow did not have to battle against the apathy and probably won't see the development necessary to continue after Ozpin or Ozma's story, it looks more and more likely he will succumb the darkness.


I Don't know if anyone else noticed but it looks like Oscar is becoming more and more like Ozpin in term of mannerism. This is the first time Oscar has taken this kind of stance when Ozpin was not directly influencing him.
What are your thoughts?
