RWBY Season 6 Episode 3 Review

RWBY Season 6 Episode 3 Review The Lost Fable


In the last review, I did I talked a little bit about RWBY using fairy tales as a source of inspiration for its character among other mythology and historical characters. I also mentioned that Ozpin is based on the wizard of OZ the Professor Lionheart the cowardly lion but what about Salem? Episode 3 has revealed Salem is based on the wicked witch. The wicked witch melted when water was thrown on her and Salem was given eternal life by water from the fountain of life.

In the world of remnants, it seems that all who die go to the same place the gods of light and dark have no control over where someone resides in the afterlife or why keep Salem alive to prevent her from seeing Ozmar again.

Salem used the same manipulation the devil used in Christianity to turn the people against the gods. Satan claimed if they ate the fruit Adam and Eve would have the same powers as god and Salem promised the same if they destroyed their gods.


Origins Of Dust


The God of darkness said he gave humanity magic as a gift but perhaps he also indirectly gave them dust. When he destroyed the moon perhaps those fragments that fell to earth became the dust that is used in the world of remnant, quite literally moon dust.

Maybe Ruby's silver eyes are somehow connect to the moon allowing her to tap into magic when confronted by magic like the maidens power.
The younger Salem we saw did not demonstrate the power to control grim or looked as veiny I think Salem took another dip in the pools of Grimm after her fight with Ozmar.
Salem  genuinely loved Ozmar and her kids.

Because of the Pools of Grimm's influence Salem is not able to distinguish between a desire for freedom and power. Real freedom is not dependent on your capacity to control others quite the opposite.


4 Seems To be The Magic Number
Ozmar and Salem had four daughters did and Ozpin decided to create four maidens did they represent what he wished his daughters would have grown to be.

We know that Jin was created by the god of light and these other relics may also all have certain entities that inhabit them also.
I think the relics of destruction and choice were made by the god of darkness. And creation and obviously knowledge by the god of light.
Relics: Creation/ looks like septar. Destruction Sword, Choice Crown, Knowledge lamp

We know that the lamp summons Jin a Genie so if the other relics have entities what type of entity do you think they would summon?

Salem is corrupt and wants the relics brought together in order to summon the gods so they will destroy everything.
Salem cannot be destroyed she can only move on once she understands the importance of life and death which due to her corruption seems impossible. The reason the Grimm are attracted to the relics is probably because Salem ordered them to look for the relics.

I only just noticed this but in the entrance when the book goes straight into Qrows face was that because of jaunes clumsiness or Qrows own bad luck semblance?


One Of The Best Episodes Of RWBY Ever

This whole episode captivated me because of how immersive the storytelling telling was. I am very detail orientated as you have probably guessed from my other reviews and because RWBY has a history of detail defects I usually ignore them so I can enjoy the qualities although I can find them distracting. With this episode I was glued to the screen like a kid I found myself not having to ignore anything and only saw quality at every scene.

The voice acting of the gods and Jin was amazing and the music complemented everything wonderfully.
Ozmar trusted Salem with everything and she deceived him maybe that's why he was reluctant to trust, I thought he might be hiding something more incriminating but we still have one question left.
