RWBY Season 6 Episode 7 Review Salems Met Her Match

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.
