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?
