man...take ME to the tree at this point 🙃🙃🙃 || RWBY REACTION Volume 9 (Chapter 9)

#RWBY #gh0xttherebel #RWBYVolume9
Wow… We’re almost done with this volume and it has been a crazy ride yet again!
I’m not gonna lie to you… This volume surprised me a lot and it’s out there as one of my favorites. Yes, it didn't have a lot of fighting, which is probably going to be one of the main complaints that people have… But from the massive character development and insight to all the characters involved… This volume is a standalone classic!!!
This finale has got to slap !! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You said my thoughts exactly of the people who don’t like the show. They tried to keep the plot and worked so hard with the animations, storylines, music, and everything that makes the show still likable or watchable. And it’s okay to not like the show or characters, but criticizing, insulting, and degrading the show and people that work hard to make it is so annoying and heartbreaking.

[@gh0xttherebel]

🖤🖤🖤

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

I mean criticizing something isnt inherently bad. Insulting or degrading, I agree. I absolutely love show, probably my favorite show ever. (May even be why I criticize it more than any other show.) There are things I dont like about the show though. Though the last half of V9 I will say does not exactly click with me, and I dont exactly think it matches Ruby that well. Rhodes attacking Cinder. Clover being blind to loyalty, to a point of preventing Qrow from attacking Tyrian. His threat assessment was way off. Qrow would not have killed him, he would not have killed Qrow, Tyrian was the danger. I also actually like V5, dont get why it gets so much hate. Only thing I didnt like about it was how silly they made Emerald look when lunging for Yang. XD its just silly more than anything. (Dont care for Sun much as a character, but thats not anything significant or bad writing or anything its just me not liking a character.) I do also love Ironwoods character. Overall though I enjoy V7, and V8. I like the silly antics in V9. But I dont understand it entirely. (This also may be on me, but I dont fully understand the Alex plotline either? Jaune says she was a brat and selfish, and she suddenly had a change of heart, and the cat somehow killed Alex when she wanted to stay? I dont get it.) I dont understand Neo here either, she can somehow control the Jabberwocky, or become it? What? Its just confusing to me. (Low key though would like Neo to have switched sides. Her anger is misplaced, and she cant see that, but also I just love her so much. Haha, just wanted more of her in the future, oh well though, not a complaint, just seemed like writers needed a reason to kill her off or trap her here or whatever for the future.) Ruby having self doubt, sure I get she needs that, dont think it was done well here though, and felt like they had her lash out just because, semi felt out of character to me, then the suicide deal? I dunno… V9, was just too much for me to fully keep up with, and fully understand, after last episode? I know this is late, and maybe you can help me understand some things better.

Ruby's journey has been hitting for me really hard. The finale had me in tears.

[@Steeelio]

This volume has actually been phenomenal

[@BGTitanAvatar]

I have to give it up for the voice acting in this episode. Barb, Miles, Lindsey, and Robbie specifically absolutely kill it. Robbie is absolutely soaking in his malice right now and it’s amazing. Blake to the cat in episode 4: But she [Alyx] learned her lesson in the end, right? Curious Cat: Oh, I’d say so. Why that sneaky little-! It’s so interesting to go back and watch the first half of the volume with all this in mind. Curious really is just speaking in double meanings the entire time. Speaking of, the animation for NeoCat’s movements is so off putting. I love it. I can’t believe we finally got to see Summer! I knew it was coming but man to finally have it!! Also, I’m glad we were right about the narrator in the first episode being Summer. That was great. Oh Ruby… baby. Again, the theming of a weapon being an extension of their owner. So my question is, will she go back to Crescent Rose with new vigor or will she actually get a new weapon? The fact that Lewis was indeed the Lewis Carroll of this world and wrote about his sister, even making her look better than she was. And Jaune was right, that Alyx wasn’t a great person (was also a kid, so you know) but after talking to the tree she actually felt bad and wanted to fix things.

[@paularonald8626]

The first Genial Gem they meet is a literal ruby.

[@Gaeleston]

I was in tears when the gems arrived. I was in more tears when they found ruby. I didnt know what to do with myself when ruby asked “am i gonna die?”

[@draygontaygen677]

Just imagine if that was the last chapter of the volume and you had to wait 2yrs for the next volume. Then you find someone who has never seen Rwby before and you become apart of their journey through this wonderful world. Just wanted to say thank you for having us along with you and I know we are in this to the end. 👍 Now let's ready ourselves for the final chapter of this Volume. Great reaction again.

[@tyrant2025]

“If anything happens to Jaune…” About that.

[@Sonicring123Dubs]

Goodness gracious this volume has just been so good XD While I was watching I was so happy I put together quickly that blacksmith was workin on Herbs wings when we first saw them back at the market. So im incline to believe they were working on Little when Ruby met with them this episode. Maybe helping being the Little Guide that they always said they wanted to be? Replace the cat in the story maybe i don't know but I kinda love the idea~

[@lorettabes4553]

ooooooh cool! Little might become big! Maybe they want to become someone who can help more?

[@miyu6758]

I just really hope that by the end of this volume Ruby doesn't change into a completely new person or take the form of someone else. It should be more something like her learning to accept the past and come back as a better version of herself, taking a step towards healing. Not trying to be someone else. (Sorry if the phrasing is weird)

[@keypath5340]

And thus...she did. ^_^

[@gazelle_7238]

Maybe ruby will get to talk to her mom and summer will help her realize she is enough? As for her new look, maybe a combination of her and summer's style. As for jaune, it would be nice if he ascended too, he lost so much time it would be nice if he could reinvent himself. Or the smoke might have him talk with himself and he lets go of his guilt? Either one would help

😂Gh0xt is still killin' me with these pre-show pep talks...............Let's go.

[@striberx]

10:38 "How can you hate on this?" That's something I question myself every time I see people giving this such crap and especially the "fans" who skipped out after Vol 3 and such. Like, yeah, things change and we have to accept it. We may not like certain changes, but the part of growing up and becoming the person who you are meant to be, means to accept such changes. This Vol is fully based on that idea of change and acceptance, and they are doing such a damn good job with it.

[@De_Vegi]

Pretty sure those “fans” weren’t actually fans of RWBY, and were instead fans of Monty. And with his passing, the show held no more interest or value to them. Which is fine? I guess? But I don’t really understand how that works either

[@striberx]

@@De_Vegi Same, heck I'm a fan of Monty too, knew him thanks to a friend showing me the Halo vs Metroid and Dead Fantasy long ago, yet I still remain. Those "Fans" are just posers and honestly insulting to Monty by not continuing to support his creation.

[@polskamapping6116]

I still watch the show and even if I have issues I enjoy it despite the flaws. I wouldn't say it's perfect or terrible, there are things they didn't do too well on in the volume, but there's also plenty they did alright on. I guess I just don't support excessive criticism or claiming it's flawless

[@striberx]

@@polskamapping6116 Fair and same.

THIS!!!!!!!!

[@BlueButterfly015]

Pretty much since the People Pleasers described the Tree and Ascension to RWBY in their own words, I’ve come to my own understanding of what Ascension is and how it works. When I saw this episode, it validated my hypothesis and I knew Ruby would be alright. Right now, I’m putting my thoughts into a post for my Tumblr but I’ll probably save it until after the finale, when everyone’s hopefully calmed down a bit.

#chairlivesmatter Also, CRWBY, I think this man deserves a Glinda glimpse in volume 10. Come on, we haven’t seen or heard a peep of her since vol 3! Gh0xt, great reactions as always. I am with you on how hard these messages hit; like, in order to move on we sometimes need to embrace a new version of ourselves, even if it’s super scary. Here’s hoping that the finale will kick off the healing we so desperately need, and that Little and Jaune will be okay. Stay hydrated lil reaper! (Here’s hoping we also get to see your granny again next volume)

Don't be like that. Hindsight is 20/20, she had no idea what exactly Ruby was going through until after she blew up and ran off. She even knew there was *something* wrong, but she wasn't going to accomplish anything until Ruby opened up to her about *what.* Jaune, on the other hand, had been very open and clear about what he had on his mind.

[@CrimsonXE]

- Not to get too deep into it, but god Jaune's realization hits hard for me; though "ymmv" for why also why I love and respect that storyline tie. Namely the recurring element of de-stigmatizing death. I've had family suffer with cancer and face the choice of continuing with treatment or to not and live what days they had without; that comes very in line with the Paper Pleasers. Where I could give input, my own feelings, but ultimately had to respect the wishes of the party that was going to have to endure it. Cause chemo is no walk in the park. That was a real perspective shifter of an event and I think Jaune was late to realizing that aspect; in this episode he got there. That death isn't this big evil thing (its not something to be embraced either, just that its a thing). A horror game I played that delves into what defines you as a person (physical body, mind, or soul) and loved had a pretty good bit in it, where it described moving from one's original body as "turning a page" and that's how I've come to see it as I've aged. That it's not an end but potentially a new path. Now that being said if there's an immortality medicine or we invent cyberized bodies to transfer into in my lifetime, I'm 100% going for it cause I will avoid death till I can't anymore, cause again acceptance not equal to embracing or surrendering xD Also ofc respecting people's choice and wishes so long as they're of sound mind. - Love Yang having Blake to hold and support her, cause Yang's always put on herself the idea of being the strong pillar that doesn't allow herself to be vulnerable. Now she can be, cause Blake is there. - Honestly people hate on it just cause they want to act like it kicked their dog once upon a time ago and now they're carrying on the "revenge" against it. A headcanon of theirs was debunked; a character they liked didn't go how they wanted; the show dares to focus on the female mains; the show dares to have a well-built wlw romance (especially when there's their preferred straight ship instead); etc. They just refuse to accept that this show isn't what they want and move on. - The inside of the tree (what I'm calling the voidspace area Ruby & the Blacksmith are in) is gorgeous - I LOVE the Blacksmith's design so much - With Ruby I love that the Blacksmith is essentially a counselor providing non-judgemental listening to and responses, which is exactly what someone in her spot needs. - Love Curious-Neo and Weiss's snarky shots at each other xD iirc the finale is confirmed to be at least 25 mins

[@AarenYASS]

its insane how HARD the second half of this volume has been. the first handful of episodes were interesting ideas with bland or empty execution with a few good moments to me but once jaune showed up, it went ham non stop! especially the warning episodes, i wasnt prepared in the slightest. -

[@quanti5]

There HAS to be something cut between the ending of the last episode and the start of this one to explain the whiplash in tone. WHY does this have to be a short volume? We need 3-4 more episodes, come on CRWBY!

[@animefan1246]

Yeah, we probably should've seen a little more time with them processing it, but tbf this volume's development got nerfed by Covid, and from what I've heard that's a big reason for the shorter run-time. But I don't think it's that big a deal anyway. Because honestly, this wasn't all that inconsistent with what they already believed. Weiss, Blake, and Yang never fully bought into the idea that the Tree *kills* people. The only ones who took that idea to heart were Jaune, Ruby, and Neo. Yeah, they fully knew and understood how *serious* this was, and Yang in particular was anxious about not knowing what happens next, but not even *Jaune* believed she was actually dead. He saw her go under and immediately decided she could still be saved if he could just get to her. This scene would've been painful to WBY, yeah. But much more than that it was shocking and confusing. Then they ran out, immediately flew into action to go after her, and what's the first thing they saw? The Genial Gems. Living proof that they were right not to be *scared* of Ascension.

[@bumblebeeyellowdragon]

COVID and the issues at RT probably made it difficult to make a full 12-14 episodes.

[@blackmetalzane2278]

My personal theory for the last chapter is that Summer will show up, it's the Everafter so it's possible, and she'll basically tell Ruby not to be like her, and finding out who you are takes time, and that it's okay to fail. I feel like that's one of the main things on Ruby's mind, a leader doesn't fail. But a leader CAN fail, and at points they should. Failure is the greatest teacher as some say, because threw failing you can become better. Ruby probably got this mindset thinking her mom was someone who never fails, but again, I feel like meeting Summer might change that. That she'll learn her mother WASN'T perfect. Ruby will probably say Summer probably had some kind of plan that didn't work, and Summer may correct her saying she didn't have a plan, she just hoped her eyes would be enough. And that she wasn't thinking straight, she was just desperate to get rid of Salem so Ruby wouldn't be dragged into Ozpin's war because of her eyes. Because I'm pretty some of the lyrics in Red Like Roses part 2 basically say Summer didn't want Ruby to become a Huntress, or at least she never wanted her to be part of the war. It'll basically help take some of the pressure off of Ruby, and hopefully, bring back some of her spark. I'd say all of it, but even if Summer helps Ruby, I don’t think she'll fully go back to how she was. She'll just tell Ruby to not be a hero, not to be like her; but to be herself and that it's okay if you fail. And if she doesn’t know who she is yet, then she can find out by continuing her journey. That's basically what I think, sorry if it was confusing, I've been known to ramble.😅

[@VanshikaGulati]

I love the ideas this show comes up with. Like, the tree blacksmith lady who can turn you into whatever you want to be but it's your choice and your certainty in that decision that allows this process. Like Ruby, who became a huntress because they protected people and fought for good and ALWAYS WON, having to deal with volumes of constant losses. The episode where she was confronted by Vol. 1 Ruby gave me goosebumps. That was some good shit. I binged all your reactions recently and I agree that watching this show is a wonderful experience overall. But as a writer, I can't agree that this is good writing. There are the smaller flaws that I can ignore, like the needless exposition that happens in the genial gems scene. (The writers actively reduced the depth of that scene by spelling out how they wanted it to be interpreted. But whatever. Who cares. Moving on.) And there are conceptual flaws that make me want to bang my head against the wall because surely, you could've been more creative than this?? Please?? Don't make the first robot maiden only for her to sacrifice herself and send her powers to a regular human. I hate it when the show throws down some great ideas and then ignores them completely. Like, do you not see the potential you've got here? Especially in vol9 chapters 9 and 10. When Ruby can be anything she chooses. What could've prevented the fall of Beacon, or Atlas? What can kill an immortal? What can bring back her lost friends from the grave? She can be anything she chooses. And she chooses the predictable. They set up a one season identity crisis arc just to return their main character to status quo, no development achieved. I don't hate the show. The music is great, they've made some solid characters, I'm curious how the plot's gonna go. And I understand not wanting to hear criticisms of something you love. Idk, man. You can delete this comment if it bothers you. I just hate wasted potential and this show has too much of that. Play with your ideas more, you cowards. What if the main character undergoes a *permanent* reinvention? What if the team couldn't return home, ever? What would've happened if they'd stayed separated for their time in the Ever After? I can't help wondering how Salem would've dealt with this place if she'd been stuck here. So many things you can do with the premise and you choose the safest, least creative option. "They got stuck in another world for a while and then they came back." There's the fucking Wonderland volume all summed up.

Now that I think about it...Jaune is 2 references. Joan of Arc and the March Hare. Jaune had bunny references in his pajamas. Now the madness has set in. Notice Weiss has really warmed up to him as well. They held on to each other after that hug. So if Alex didn't make it back, it was her brother who told the story which would make sense of the horrible things she did being omitted. Question of the episode Think Neo will be able to speak after this cos it looks like a given that both Neo and the cat are going to ascend.

[@De_Vegi]

God I hope so. Sadly, I don’t think Neo really has a place in the story anymore without her thirst for vengeance. Hopefully she pulls an Emerald if she ascends, but I don’t really see that happening

[@ryuushinzo3559]

@Kale Stewart she can ascend. Remember, she's missing something. Since she's merged with the curious cat we may have a new Neo who wants to learn about remnant and can SPEAK

[@bumblebeeyellowdragon]

I doubt that Neo will speak but she may finally get over her revenge ferver against Ruby.

Ghost idk if you remember my tweet about Lewis being the one that wrote the book. The fact my theory could be fully correct!!!

[@marioritter7014]

You know, I'm REALLY digging White Knight as a ship, not just because it would be poetic and ironic but the both of them together are just soo cute and wholesome.

[@StarcraftSquall]

Ruby was looking at KZbin comments and only saw the negative ones. Also, you said you went on a trip? Isn’t it called this week’s episode every week? 😁

[@gh0xttherebel]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 damn, ya got me

[@highfive0468]

Episode 10 is out. I would like for you to react to it. Your reactions are priceless.

[@sqxbarto9229]

I have a theory that Jaune burns and is then reborn into his younger self.

[@Sparten7F4]

Remember.... Joan D'Arc was killed by *burning*

[@beyo5]

The Blacksmith was working on something - seemed rodent-like didn't it?

[@jasonwinterboer5232]

So it was in front of us t he whole time - Lewis wrote the story (duh)! And Alyx stayed to "fix all the wrongs she had done to the people of the Ever After, including the Knight" - so Alyx is Juniper!! Still feel there's something we need to learn about the Jabberwalker, though... can't wait for the finale ✨✨✨✨✨

[@DeadLog]

i hate their reaction to seeing the "paper pleasers" again because they arent "back" they dont have any of their memories, its just the same emotions

[@animefan1246]

The point was very obviously *not* that they were just "back" like nothing changed. The point was that they *had* changed, but that wasn't something to be afraid of, or "protected" from. The Paper Pleasers wanted, and needed, to change, and they chose to make it happen. It was sad that they didn't remember Jaune anymore, but it was *selfish* of Jaune to hold them back from doing what they needed to do just so he wouldn't be comfortable. The team was happy for them because they were happier, more fulfilled, as they are now, even if it meant Jaune couldn't have the same comfort with them anymore. This was a *massively* important lesson they needed to learn quickly for Ruby's sake. Whether they like it or not, she isn't the idealistic, unflinching, adventure-loving school kid they knew anymore. But they kept treating her like she was, and she kept trying to live up to that when it was actively hurting her. This was all about the team finally letting go of what they *thought* Ruby was, and "accepting" (another big theme for the episode) that whatever/whoever she came back as, it was what she chose, and needed, to be. And just like with the Genial Gems, they'd be happy for her.

This new song and the score when Ruby chats with the blacksmith reminded me of something. Yes, it has some Red Like Roses pt2 in it, but the song and the score are similar here, to another one of my favorite scores. The "Destiny" score from Volume 3, at least the beginning of it, feels similar. Also, my theory for what Ruby will become below, along with some Summer Rose tie ins. THEORY A few weeks ago I was thinking about which Oz allusion Summer held, and I came across Nessarose. Not personality or attachment wise allusion by any means, but some of the things just make sense. Nessarose is the one who got the house dropped on her in WoO, who originally had the Ruby slippers. The ruby slippers can easily be connected to the silver eyes, since the slippers are actually silver, but you know both Summer and Ruby also have the red motif going haha. Anyways, even the NeoCat says that Ruby greatly desires to return home, just like Dorothy. She got her ruby slippers/silver eyes from Nessarose/Summer Rose. Whatever Ruby is going to gain is going to help them return home. We have this door, very mysterious(also the door is decorated two two dragons-two brothers! nice tie in!). Who knows where it will lead? My assumption is that Ruby will gain the ability to choose the right path. She is kind of picking up Summer's weapon because it symbolizes home, and family, and love. That is what she wants. I hope that wasn't too hard to understand? Also, yay Summer has a VA! and we got to see more of her!!! We better get answers on her soon.

[@gh0xttherebel]

Hey Gh0xt, my usual reach coming at you again. I think Little is a fragment of Ruby that broke away upon falling into the Ever After. They seem to represent the bit of Ruby that's been missing this season: the excited, happy, childlike, positive character. Now go back to ep 2, Jinxy wanted enough hope to fill the jar. Ruby was always fueled by hope, yet now she lacked it, and Jinxy himself could see this. But in that instant, Little stood behind the jar, as if filling it. Fast forward to ep 8. When Ruby tells them to just go home, Little says "but you're-", before Ruby cuts them off. Perhaps Little recognized that Ruby felt like home, and that's what they were going to say. Now what's interesting is that Little was not immediately called to the tree upon their death. They fell into the same hole as Ruby. This leads me to believe that Little will become one with Ruby again, refueling her hope. As for Jaune, it seems many people have missed the symbolism regarding him. We interpret the fire against the background in the intro as his death... Yet it's not the first time we've seen this. Those flames were also present when we first met the blacksmith. Jaune is going to go through the tree and be reborn... Maybe as his younger self again, with improvements. What makes me think this? Yang's self revelation at the herbalist. "You don't have to go forward, you know? You can go back." Now look at Jaune. He's covered in rust and wielding a broken sword. He must be REFORGED into something better. Jaune has always wanted to live up to his family's ancestors... And they're setting him up for the opportunity to become as great as he wants to be, forged into a hero worthy of the Arc name. Do not cry for the heroes who have fallen, for they shall rise again, even stronger.
