RWBY: All Fight Scenes- Volume 9

[@MrLeeFTW]

Honestly, you really have to hand it to Neo in Volume 9. Not only did she completely break Ruby's spirit and her own, but she went on to destroy both of the Brothers' first creations that are older than any being on Remnant. The girl is an absolute wrecking ball to everything throughout the Ever After.

[@Yashieyama]

I'm hoping neo ends up getting a spin-off of her own and her adventures in the ever after. There's so many anchors to explore and was hoping we could see them all. Plus it would be better if she was accompanied by somewhat and juniper even though she killed little 😅

[@naturescorruptedinfactorie8062]

Seeing Ruby finally do her whirling, zipping thing with Crescent Rose again was the best reward for her overcoming her inner turmoil.

[@Thescott16]

Whatever floats your boat, I guess... For me, seeing her actually _grow_ would have been more rewarding, instead of just returning to the status quo. A status quo where, by the way, her doubts are *perfectly justified* because SHE WAS RIGHT ABOUT NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH (as evidenced by them losing every city they go to and try to defend).

[@KijoSamhain]

​@@Thescott16um That's what her "dying" and coming back is about. We'll just have to see if her outlook and prospective in things really did change. You are making an early judgment call.

[@Thescott16]

@@KijoSamhain No I'm not... If you'd paid attention you know the whole lesson the smith-mother teaches Ruby while she's in the tree is, "You're fine the way you are." Which she clearly _ISN'T_ since she's lost *almost every major battle* she's fought, while the battle she won was not her doing (it was the Faunus standing up to the White Fang and Raven beating Cinder, Ruby wasn't even there for that), and now 2/4 human capitols have fallen. Her self-doubt was justified, and the clichéd lesson RT decided to go with was the wrong one for the situation because it's factually incorrect. If they'd done something more along the lines of "You can figure it out for yourself" or "You already know the answer" that would be different, because that leaves room for her to think for herself and grow herself.. But they didn't do that; they went with "You're fine the way you are", which is incorrect.

[@KijoSamhain]

@@Thescott16 Dude you're missing the whole point. She was doubting herself as a whole. Not just as a hero or huntress, not just her battles but her as a whole person. For the most part she still does need to figure it out for herself however in order for her to keep doing that she needs to believe in herself first and foremost. Cause Ruby is enough other wise she wouldn't be the main character. So get your head out of your ass and stop hating.

[@Thescott16]

​@@KijoSamhain Read what you typed, then read what I typed again... Particularly the bit at the end. I didn't miss the point, I'm the only one here who got the point since I very literally said they _SHOULD_ have done what you said they did, but they _didn't actually do that AT ALL._ The whole point of giving a character a self-reflecting epiphany is to make them question what they were and be inspired to change; telling a character "You're find the way you are" is the opposite for a character like Ruby. That's not motivating her to change; it's instruction to remain the same. I know as a long-time (I'm assuming) RWBY fan you've probably been subsisting on copium in regards to the writing and story so you can make it from sweet fight scene to sweet fight scene, so I'm going to be patient with you (I was once there too for a while, it takes one to know one). But I recommend dropping the copium, you're only excusing mistakes and sloppy production that keep preventing RWBY from being great instead of just good. In this instance you're confusing what's really there, with what you _think_ is there or _want_ to be there. You're operating on an assumption and inserting that assumption as true. But here's the thing; good writing doesn't rely on assumptions for character development. Questions or problems arise, solutions are offered and discussed, and a path is chosen. No room should be left for the viewer to have to assume things to fill in any blanks. Worst case scenario at this point is that you turn out to be right. While you may think that's some rando on the internet being petty, take a moment to think... Because if you turn out to be right about this, then it means RT has actually gotten even _worse_ at writing characters on a technical level.

[@lukmaanpratomo6866]

A tiny detail that I absolutely love from this seasons is seeing each of them beginning to respect and accept their comrades fighting style because now they know they compliment each other. In this season, whenever a fight is about to start they would always look at each other, whereas in the few seasons before this, they sometimes never bothered to. It's even more apparent in the Mini-Chess episode where the 3 of them looked to Ruby for guidance because now they accept the fact that she's most likely the one who can think creatively and accept the flaws of her comrades to turn those flaws into something of a synchronized team.

[@katherinegarlock2249]

Remember when Team RWBY and JNR had their first job with the Ace Ops? Remember how impressed they were that they didn't need to plan out their attacks and were completely in sync? Team RWBY has now achieved that. They are no longer individuals fighting for their own reasons. They are a true team.

i am absolutely in LOVE with the last fight. it's just so euphoric to finally see ruby fighting with all she can. during the volume 8 fight with cinder and neo, it always felt like she would hesitate with every swing. now, she's so much faster than she's ever been. i saw some discussion in the comments about wishing her semblance evolved or that it actually did in this scene. i'm honestly inclined to agree that i feel like even if her semblance hasn't directly evolved in a big way (like neo's or ren's), she's using it better than she ever has. she's switching in and out of Petal Burst like it was nothing, when before she'd stumble out of it and move slower after coming in and out of it. it was slow enough in her fight with neo at the bridge that neo could telegraph her attack (when she threw her scythe and caught it behind neo). now she's able to dodge so quickly, it almost appears instantaneous, like she doesn't even enter petal burst at all. i'm convinced she might even be extending it to her weapon, which is why she can swing it so much faster now and why there are visual effects in her swings. either way, i'm really glad we got a proper ruby-focused volume. she really needed that metophorical and literal rebirth

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

Of course Ruby was hesitating in volume 8. Despite her hypocrisy, she's not a complete idiot even if her team's actions ARE. She knew full well that she and her team were in the wrong, that they pushed ironwood over the edge and his downfall was THEIR fault more than anything else.

[@olserknam]

@@wholesome_masochist4113 Ironwood has been shown to consistently neglect Mantle and the people's opinion for the entire volume, which culminated into him snapping when under a major crisis. "It's all RWBY's fault" is headcanon peddled by people like you who really wanted him to be a good guy and refuse to accept any narrative that doesn't align with your vision of him. Also: let's assume you're right for a second and a bunch of teenagers WAS enough to drive a grown military leader insane, all on their own. How does that make said leader look better in any way? That would mean he wasn't nearly mentally stable enough to be qualified for the position in the first place, and should've resigned rather than be a walking liability.

[@ragewireloki6213]

Honestly with all the emphasis on that attack, that should’ve happened. As an animator and a newcomer to rwby this fight while better than the ones in V8 is only good. The fight is a bit hard to follow at points due to it being a tad too fast, Monty had fast fights but had enough restraint to know when to slow down so that you knew what was happening, the sfx should’ve been better and more meaty making some of the hits feel a bit hollow and that final hit with all the girls in their colours should’ve had more emphasis and time to breathe, without either the shot feels like any other hit in the fight. Because of all these factors the fight feels a bit weightless. I would’ve slowed down the fight a tad bit and added more moments of downtime and with the final hit I would’ve made rby(Ruby, Blake, Yang) fall back down onto a glyph than cut to weiss preparing a glyph beneath herself then as they all prepare to jump their colours fade onto them as the background turns red(though a darker shade than ruby so that she doesn’t blend in) as they jump and at the moment they land their strike we get some slow mo and when the cat hits the ground he is in an actual hole and not just around a bit of debris. Not saying this to discredit the animators who probably put their heart and soul into this, I’m just saying that this fight, alongside the rest of this volume(meaning story, themes and overall animation) could’ve been better.

If you can even call it that as nothing actually came of it and Ruby nor her friends bar jaune deal with consequences. I mean am I the only one who was super miffed that when the illusions happened to mention all of Ruby's screw ups, nothing ever comes of it? Ruby doesn't truly learn anything from her failures, she's literally railroaded towards crescent rose and just some hot air from that is literally enough to bring back the ruby of pre v5? Ruby never learned from her mistakes here, neo avoided any kind of repercussion and responsibility for her screwery throughout the show, the cat is screwed over _again_ on the same level of Smeagel/Gollum from Lord of the rings, and jaune is basically de-aged to the point where he dropped? Uh no, when he first met Alex, his armor was already rusted, and it's wildly out of character for her to have second thoughts when she was the one that poisoned jaune was basically younger present day cinder with how manipulative she was.

[@bennyboiii1196]

From season 5 to season 8, Ruby barely had any presence during fights. I could probably count on my fingers the amount of times she swung/spun her scythe. This is the FIRST TIME since season 4 that the animators sucked it up and animated her properly, with her old moveset. It frustrated me incredibly that she basically devolved from a competent but clumsy fighter to someone who just sat back shooting her gun and/or waited for someone to attack her and then trying (and often failing) to get behind them using her semblance. It kind of makes the final speech with the whole "you are fine just the way you are" thing worthless, considering we didn't ACTUALLY see any improvement to a point where someone could say that. It also tells us that she actually WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPROVING, but no. They decided to be lazy, and just didn't animate anyone who didn't fight barehanded or with a generic weapon. When you animate a fight, you are telling a story with no dialogue. And when you get lazy, the message gets lost in translation. The message that they told us during that speech does not line up with the message any fight prior tells us. Its a more subtle iteration of the main issue RWBY has had for its entire lifespan. The fights never tell the same story as the dialogue. And to see that problem finally being acknowledged is a relief.

My favorite fight scene in RWBY V.9 is RWBY vs Chess Pieces and Ruby vs Neo Illusions!!! BUT MY PERSONAL FAVORITE ONE IS TEAM RWBY (JAUNE) VS CURIOUS CAT!!!!

Now we just need the old transformation animations back and we're good to go!

Half of these are just fighting the dang jabberwalker.

love how they stopped turning weiss into a too much of a glyph magician (volume 8 made her relly on her semblance too much...)

I just watched the chess fight scene again and holy crap would it be super brutal if dealing with other creatures. CRWBY must have wanted to let the team use their weapons as they should actually work on a quasi-humanoid opponent without having to animate gore. The chess piece Yang detonates appears to have disintegrated. Blake cuts off the arm of at least one opponent. *Weiss cuts a piece in half like she was felling a tree.*

Little/Somewhat compilation?? :>

9:39 for an old man beating a child with a stick 😂😂

[@KierSkunker]

I don't have the skill because I haven't learned anything yet of how to put videos together like this. So may I make a request from you?? In volume one Blake was not able to believe all the events that are happening such as Nora coming in on an Ursa grim and people falling out of the sky, but here in this volume she readily accepted the fact that they were in a book or a different world. Could you make a video out of that for me please?? I also have many other requests but this one will do for now 😊

I'll write it down!
