RWBY

[RadiantBeam]

Watching certain factions of Tumblr's RWBY fandom rip into each other over whether or not this episode will focus on Blake and Yang is hilarious.

[Siriel]

Little do they suspect that it will focus on Torchwick.

[RadiantBeam]

It will focus on the staff of Beacon, and it will be awesome.

[Servant Shiki]

Jaune angst coming up.

[RadiantBeam]

You mean more Jaune angst, right?

[Servant Shiki]

Yep, and hopefully a slap in the face to get him off his pride and start training.

[RadiantBeam]

Depends on how long they want that particular storyline to hold out. They could wrap it up this week or make it a problem for the rest of the season.

[Servant Shiki]

Eh, as long as Blake gets more screen time, I'm good.

Looking at the thumbnail on the RT site, this episode has Pyrrha, in her battle outfit, in a room full of books(?).

So yeah expect another episode of the times and trials of Jaune Arc, genderbend of a lady who dressed like a dude.

Kind of like Achilles when he dressed as a woman at his mother's behest to keep him out of the trojan war, Thor that one time Heimdall asked him to dress up as Freyja and Freyja helped, and Mulan when she dressed like a man.

JNPR is now team crossdressing genderbender.

Why do you keep making me like you, Names?

Epic fail by Crunchy getting the video loaded. Technical failures delayed it nearly until 7 (though I did get a chance to watch the first ep. of Galilei Donna while waiting, so time well spent).

Otherwise:

No Blake/Yang stuff this week, just more Jaune arc

Ruby was hella funny giving Jaune a pep talk about leadership responsibilities.

Cardin apparently has something against Pyrrha, possibly due to her showing him up in class (the phrase "know-it-all" was used). But apparently, being told to douse her in sap to attract something called "Rapier Wasps" was just too much for Jaune, so he finally stood up to Cardin and smashed the sap jar on him as well, in the face of the threat of "Or I tell Goodwitch your secret." Episode ends with Jaune seized by the violent hands of CRDL. Possible pitched battle between teams next time? We can only hope.

Also, Nora bounces on the bed, standing up! This amuses me and yet does not surprise me one bit.

[deviatesfish]

Well, at least this isn't going the weird NTR route with Cardin to Pyrrha. I can always be happy there's none of that.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

The last time I tried to do what Nora does on her bed, I broke the bed.

[Laith]

Wait 22 (+ how long it takes you to watch the episode) minutes to read this!

Spoiler:

Ah Jaune, you are making amends now.

Also, hey no stretched misunderstanding shenanigans, I love that.

And yeah last time I did what Nora was doing I… got a scar near my eye.

[StarCross231]

Well all I can say is that next episode of RWBY is going to be interesting.

[Nacho the Doritosedge]

Spoilers 4 minutes hold onto your breaches

Spoiler:

Cardin's team gets credits shadows ah yeah, check dat
nope nope nope
Rapier wasps shit son Jaune you got balls of steel, I couldn't get paid to go near those goddamn things
Nora take your goddamn shoes off that's where you sleep do you want to sleep in dirt and shit? Then again Thor
Welcome to your field trip everyone, we are now in the forest of random encounters and gathering spots.
Jaune Arc, dodgeball champion. #noscope
Next episode will probably start with Jaune getting beat up AND YOU CAN'T STOP IT

WEISS STILL DOESN'T INTERACT WITH ANYONE IMPORTANT, SHIT SUCKS. It's like they don't know how to characterize her anymore or something.

Why do you keep making me like you, Names?

So sexy it hurts


Truth is I really don't know

[deviatesfish]

Too many characters to characterize. Shoulda taken their time with this yo.

[Mysterius]

Anyone notice that:

historical trivia Easter egg

Cardin's number is "1374-BEAUFORT", which is the last name and birth year of the Henry Beaufort, Cardinal of Winchester, who presided over Joan of Arc's trial?

Also, I wonder:

Cardin's thoughts

Did Cardin really think Jaune would throw? And that the shot would actually hit Pyrrha (the tournament champion and Amazonian warrior)? Or was he just aiming to create strife between Jaune and Pyrrha?

EDIT: In other news, we finally see JNPR's sleeping arrangements, Nora is great, and is Weiss always checking her nails?

[Aiden]

Jaune did exactly what I wanted him to do in that situation.
