Oscar punch Neo (RWBY Volume 7)

[@AnonymouslyForgotten]

Neo has dodged effortlessly against many pro hunters… yet she gets punched by an inexperienced 10 yr old.

[@dreadrath]

Can just imagine her thinking to herself "There has to be some clever trick to this seemingly moronic attack. It must be a feint, no, a double feint; perhaps even a triple feint. Yes , that's it! I'll stand completely still and counter whatever come aft.....oww, what the hell?!."

[@l0ki_lux947]

she probably thought that they would have protected her since in their eyes she's the real Oscar with the relic and an identical one is running up to them

[@lienhua5558]

He’s not 10-you know what nvm I get the joke now

[@luminozero]

@@l0ki_lux947 Neo isn't that dumb. All of the heroes know that she is mute, so when Oscar shouts he has to be the real one. Her disguise was lost the second Oscar called out.

[@NotFromIntelligentSystems]

@@luminozero would team JNR know she’s mute? They’d never seen her prior to that volume.

[@loogiboogi06]

He should not have landed that hit bro. Neo literally watched him run up all slow and had so many opportunities to dodge.

[@dannyovr1500]

NO!!! 🏃 HRRRAGH! 👊

[@Hello-sn9nz]

💥 🤸 😠

[@joaquinpalillo]

Unless she wanted to get punched for some reason lol

0:09 imagine if this is how neo's voice/scream sounds

[@LocalMaple]

I’m guessing Neo was more afraid of Nora, and only looked back when she realized he didn’t slam into the wall.

[@Rustcat666]

Neo afraid of Nora, sure let's go with that

[@LocalMaple]

@@Rustcat666 When Miss Thunder Thighs, a pivotal fighter in both Grimm invasions of Beacon, is in front of you, you ignore the farmer boy who didn’t really help much in helping her defend Haven.

[@powdereddonut6177]

I think it's less about the fact we all know Neo could have dodged Oscar's punch, and more about how satisfying it was to see her get punched. Don't get me wrong, Neo is a pretty cool character, but still, that was nice to watch.

[@deadpoolchimichangas7111]

I love Neo but even I wanted to see her get punched just once

[@thenewgod5410]

She’s just a stat stick in the rwby universe…

[@shadowspector3611]

Maybe it’s not the fact that Oscar shouldn’t have gotten that punch and more of the fact that Neo was too focused on not giving away her disguise.

[@non1263]

Plausible, but I would only expect that if she had more experience in infiltration than in fighting. That could be the case, but given how much more skilled she is than the younger characters it’s not intuitive to think that.

[@luminozero]

Her disguise was already given away because she can't talk. By Oscar shouting, he proved himself to be the real one.

[@thespy6707]

Disagree completely. We SEE her look towards Oscar when he yells and turns the corner. She should have atleast been on guard. I’ve SEEN her dodge quick hits while sitting down cross legged lol.

[@homura-aistra]

Ok i understand why yall mad, but cant we Agree that oscar just got a lucky punch?

[@jerri1918]

i love when underdog characters (jaune, oscar) get moments to shine so i was happy for him when this happened

[@JamMasterJesus]

It would've been better if he snuck up on her or they were, like, right by a corner where he could get in her blind spot. She *watched* him run that distance to her and just kinda took it lol. Not against the moment happening, but the way it was shot made it seem weird.

[@RCSG02]

Yeah sure if you want to call it "luck" than by all means, because it's not like Neo (who fought against Yang who's taller, faster, and stronger than Oscar and toyed with her the whole time) can take a punch from a teenager the same size as her. She's mute so it totally makes perfect sense why she couldn't dodge!

[@saltystick_99]

That's what I always thought. It's a little moment in the grand scheme of things. Plus, didn't Neo proceed to beat the tar out of them regardless of her disguise not working?

[@WanderSeth]

0:12 is a gift

[@JDWalker495]

I don’t mind neo getting tagged by Oscar, but they literally made it the most telegraphed and dodgeable punch, against a character that has maxed out evasion

[@BeastWarzIII]

FALCON PUNCH!

[@RhysClark97]

having the "no" and the run up is so silly could have been a real moment, the first person to land a hit on neo.

[@rszircon9164]

Top RWBY moment where Oscar's being a total bad@$$ right now 😎

[@johntheschmuck]

I think this moment is the most upset I’ve ever been at the show. The way he slowly comes from down the hall and winds up his slow ass punch towards her. The way she stands there and takes it despite everything in her character that says she wouldn’t have. Was Neo’s near character assassination for me if it weren’t for the fact that this only happened once.

[@Loispealz34]

It's just a cool moment. Plus it's not like she was hurt or anything, she proceeds to wipe the floor with team juniper.

[@strawber3seal_77]

incredible job op

[@empchaos2150]

Neo: you are not you you are me Oscar: no s**t

[@Piece-Of-Time]

Kind of always reminded me of that scene from Fullmetal Alchemist

[@xShadow_MD]

I'm glad Oscar didn't go he's not the real one and just stood there bs and instead straight up just gave her one to the face

[@eren34558]

That was interesting to see

[@KIRB881]

Bro Falcon punched the shit out of her

Why give yourself away though? 1 cinemasins
