Remember when Penny confessed she was the first synthetic human capable of generating an Aura? And that Penny’s from Atlas and is constantly surrounded by guards or near General Ironwood? She’s the “significant strides” they’ve made lol.
So this is where the true story of RWBY begins. Not just a high school training huntsmen and huntresses and cool fights, about basically dire situations with more dire consequences and this overall looming feeling of dread and despair. A lot of people do shit on Volumes 4-5 A LOT but with what happens in this volume it does feel right to have it in the way they are, plus some much needed character growth and backstory added in. Volume 3 is basically what makes or breaks RWBY reactors.
Also to add, a lot of reactors I’ve watched are very confused as to why we see Mercury attack Yang but literally no one else sees it, so I’m glad you’re one of the first to partially get it right. Emerald’s semblance can make a specific person/people see illusions that she wants them to see and while they focus on the illusion she either steals from them or in this case with Yang, causes fear and hate to spread even though that isn’t what happened in reality. To the point in where she starts the illusion we are given an audio queue that basically sounds really high pitch and eerie. So keep an ear out for that audio queue when she does her illusions.
Anyways always love your RWBY reactions and do hope you continue with this series after Volume 3 and form your own opinions on it and go from there.
We have no idea how episode 5 was missed. We will record it before we record episode 8-9 and will release it next week alongside episode 8+9 sorry for this confusion everyone
No worries! Episode 5 isn’t as plot heavy as the others so if there’s any to watch later, it’s best that it’s that one. Also highly encourage to watch the intro, When It Falls! It’s one of the best imo
Nuts were missing an episode I think. Regardless I love these episodes, I think it’s where you feel the shift start in this show.
BUT THE NEXT 2 HOO BOY
Fun fact about episode 6 (the first episode in this video), it was apparently so difficult to animate that it was only uploaded to roosterteeth servers an hour before it was set to be released!
So you now know every power you see someone use in this world is a semblance and not magic. Only the maidens possess magic. A semblance is basically like having a super power or quirk specific to only you. There could be a lot of similar quirks but for the most part all semblances are unique to the individual.
GODDD so excited for the rest of season 3! i love the severe tone shift that hit the show in these two episodes, and love the tone it gives us afterwards!
if you’re curious, the “two minds” emerald was talking about at the end of episode 6 was the two paramedics that picked up mercury. it was a bit quick, but she made them see an injury that didnt exist on his leg.
also not sure if you guys noticed this, but mercury has guns on his feet. when he kicks, he fires a shot. so his wind bullet things in the fight with yang are technically actually dust bullets, not just the force of his feet hitting the air. the hints about mercury having metal feet were there everytime he fought, because he constantly would stop hard hitting attacks effortlessly with his legs, and also deal really big damage!
everyone hates on season 4, but personally i like it. Of course, there is one arc of it I hate, and usually skip, but the season is great and does some cool things for the series as a hole. I think you guys will enjoy it :]!
Yeah it does suck. Mostly because now they’ll have an odd number of episodes since they react to two at a time, unless they react to three at some point.

What happened to episode 5
Day 16 of asking y’all to watch Hulk Vs 2009
Yeah, it took me a long time to realize the two minds Emerald was talking about was the medics that were looking at Mercury’s leg.
ngl thought it was ol oz at first

No prob!
This is probably the best ep to miss the, compared to the others.
missing episode 5 and the op 3 reaction

Funfact of the day while waiting on episode 5. The Fall Maiden, Amber is voiced by Laura Bailey.

DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THEY SKIPPED 5 LMAO…. at the end of episode 7* then, correcting myself
You accidentally skipped episode 5. This is 6 and 7
At least the didn’t skip 6. Then they would have been way confused. lol.
Yeah it still sucks though since they missed the Yang and Weiss duo fight. Hopefully they caught on and will react to it later on
Yeah it does suck. Mostly because now they’ll have an odd number of episodes since they react to two at a time, unless they react to three at some point.
seems like you guys skipped 5
