Penny's clothes were fine because she still had aura, and as Pyrrha explained way back in volume 1, aura can be channeled through equipment (including things worn). Winter's aura was broken, so she had nothing protecting her.

Yeah no but obviousely the real reason her clothes were fine was because they obviousely weren't going to have penny being naked lol

They didn’t want her naked that’s why. I mean do they even care about narrative in this show anymore. What happened to Blake being a Faunus in atlas. She faced no discrimination. Remember when Weiss was a racist bitch and grew as a character. I guess the other people of atlas grew with her.

going back, you can actually see a TON of all this being set up. the first few lines are a hint at the brothers, and a lot of James's arc was set up in season 4, although hints came as far back as season 2. there's a lot of little things you might miss.

People tend to dislike Cinder because of Jessica (i personally think she is funny), and Cinder because of the characters, i actually like Cinder as a villain because she is the arrogant greed villain that want power to be above everyone.

Calvin : "I thought she lived on the moon!" One of the first things we see at the beginning of Volume 4 is Salem's place with a full shot of the moon. The most popular theory is that she leaves on the continent shaped like a dragon, just North of Vacuo (and West of Atlas).

[@CDLJz]

Especially considering that there is no major kingdom there. Salem's home likely has the highest concentration of Grimm in the world making the formation of a Kingdom nearby basically impossible.

so... the twist was vernal was yang's mom, all along?

[@SHAKEDDDDDDDD]

honestly I'm super proud of Winter. haven't seen the boy's opinion yet but for me, she got into the ice and had a choice- Cinder was regrowing her arm and she had a window. she saw Penny with the fading maiden- Penny, who is way less equipped for fighting in close quarters with people she needs to not hurt, and Cinder, who knows how to manipulate unexperienced fighter's weaknesses and would not let herself be dragged to fight outside of near the maiden. and she chose to let Penny handle the maiden and take on Cinder. that was in my opinion the most selfless thing she's done yet she did what Ironwood and Clover couldn't- prioriatized based on what was in front of her and not her own hurts. which gives me a lot of hope for her in the next volume

[@ShnNar1000x]

I think that Winter acted selflessly and to further the success of the mission, but I doubt that she calculated in the way that you said. She just had no choice. She could not just rush up, push Penny out of the way, and take the power. That would have left both Penny and her open to Cinder and, besides, she just did not have the time to do anything like that. If she had, it could have been a rational and selfless choice too because her number one mission was getting the Maiden power and she may well have thought that Penny, being artificial, could not get the power. As it is, she may well have thought that the mission was a failure even as she was fighting Cinder because the Maiden died and, as far as Winter knew, the woman's power may have gone off into some random woman on the other side of the world. It's just fortunate that Penny's possessing an aura made her capable of taking the power.

[@palazard95]

Ah yes. Ending on a good point. Maiden died, lamp is gone, James' betrayed Oz, and Qrow and Robin are captured, and Salem is here. Really good ending And no: Aaron had it right to begin with. Yang's Mom was the spring maiden. Vernal pretended to be it to trick people

[@tunderdiamant8651]

Actually no James didn't really betray Oz ... it's even the opposite i think ... James doesn't care about Oscar's opinion he just wants Oz's approval but Oz was gone .. so by "killing" oscar that would mean Oz would come back in a new host so he could help again .. I mean obviousely nothing sure but i thinks this would make more sense lol

Better when compared to Volume 3, at least. Where: Maiden in the hands of Cinder, CCT tower gone, multiple people dead (not just the 4 on screen deaths), Yang dismembered, Blake stabbed, Ruby in a coma for weeks, Weiss stuck with her abusive as hell father, I could go on. Volume 7, despite all that was said, at least has everyone important alive barring Clover and together except for Qrow and Robin. And we already know Qrow and Robin are probably gonna get busted out.

A bittersweet ending for Volume 7: - Winter is wounded, lost the maiden's power to Penny, and now lost her sister who had to leave. - Cinder and Neo have possession of the lantern, Salem's on the horizon, and Tyrian's on the loose. - A bookend of RWBY coming in to Atlas with a "stolen" ship, then leave with a stolen ship. There's many more to discuss, but that's what I found interesting. There's a dilemma now for RWBY's team and Co: Leave Atlas or save one of the cities. With many players on the playing field, Atlas and Mantle will about to turn into warzone again.

[@DocMicrowave]

Well, Atlas isn't going anywhere. And I am still thinking there is a very big risk of it falling, literally. I am also thinking Qrow let himself be taken into custody. Perhaps thinking that will get him to James faster. He could escape any time he wants to. Pietro, Penny, Giant Grimm Whale. As lore would have it, this does not bode well for Penny's longevity as the Winter Maiden. I am feeling my prediction at the start of V7 may be true. They brought Penny back just to kill her off again in some grand, heartstring tugging fashion. So the question would be, who would succeed her as Winter. Still waiting for Neo to turn on Cinder. She has got to be fed up with Cinder's mess. Accept for the aquistion of the Lamp, none of the goals Neo signed up for were accomplished. Didnt kill Ruby. Didnt get Winter. Not even a thank you for the Lamp, which wasn't part of the original deal. It's back stabbin time!

[@TheMhalpern]

You forgot to mention the waste of more Blake development. Her being a Faunus in atlas was almost completely glossed over. It’s bitter sweet until you think of actually narrative they setup and stuff being ignored for the sake of the plot.

[@TheSkyrider27]

I can think of one more way it could get more bittersweet. As Ironwood said the Staff of Creation can "be used for a single purpose" if Team RWBY could get to the Staff they could use it to create an Anti-Grimm field that will either instantly destroy them or at lest severely weaken them. In either case the tide would be turned against Salem but Atlas would fall as a result of losing the staffs power.

[@DocMicrowave]

Bryan D. Completely agree. Blake (and Weiss to some extent) wasted in Atlas. In what could have been a perfect opportunity to explore the plight of the Faunus in what was supposedly one of the biggest places known for their persecution. I did like Weiss's scenes with her sister. But Blake was reduced to fanserving shipping fodder. No individual personality or purpose, just one half of ship. What a waste!

Salem never lived on the moon because we always could see the moon from where her castle is. It still hasn't been revealed but the only real possibility is that her castle is on the Dragon Continent (North West of Remnant), a place where there is no kingdom. The whale Grimm can fly because of the gravity dust encrusted within its body. As for Ozpin, its cane stores time and thus allegedly memories. The current understanding is that he can tap into these memories if needed. That is why Oscar got access to Ozpin's powers after activating the cane. The green bubble he used to land is one example of Ozpin's powers (Ozpin used it against Cinder in V3).

[@Hy3jii]

Salem lives in the former domain of the God of Darkness. It's most likely in the unknown western continent. The one that's kinda shaped like a dragon.

[@musicisum0405]

Yikes, you guys might want to rewatch the past few volumes lol Raven was the spring maiden, she was using Vernal as her decoy. And Salem isn't on the moon, she's most likely on the dragon-shaped continent to the west. Ironwood's plan was to use the staff of creation to move Atlas further up, where most flying grimm can't even reach, but he needed the winter maiden to open the vault to reach the relic. Now that he doesn't have the maiden he can't move Atlas. Another thing about Ironwood is that his decision to shoot Oscar is not necessarily out of character. By the end of this volume, he's so paranoid and afraid, without wanting to admit it since he's supposed to be the one in charge of protecting everyone. Oscar to him isn't just some kid, he's the next Ozpin. Ozpin spent their entire allyship lying about his and Salem's joint origin, the fact that she seemingly can't be killed, and the fact that he didn't even have a plan to defeat her all along. On top of all that, Ironwood has always criticized Ozpin for acting passively instead of anticipating danger, like when Beacon was attacked, so he may blame Beacon's fall partially on Ozpin. He knows that Ozpin would disagree with his plan to abandon Mantle and he doesn't feel he can afford to humor Ozpin's or anyone else's passivity anymore. It's also worth mentioning that 7, 8, and 9 are meant to be one complete arc, so things aren't meant to be resolved this volume. They'll most likely go into Ren's state of mind next volume.

And I have to admit, Jessica voiced Cinder's pain wonderfully. Oscar smashed through the bottom of the floating city to land on the tundra below, using Ozpin's magic. Still miffed about the Qrow fight, I suspect it was just to place him in Atlas for the next volume. ...Still, with the moon thing?

I was kind expecting her clothes to disappear and she would look like a doll underneath, like, it would be kinda weird if she had nipples and stuff since Pietro built her, so it wouldn't be thaaat weird if she lost her clothes, but I'm totally fine with her keeping them lol I think that if it was because of her Aura it would have shimmered or something just to let us know "she has her aura so she can go in", but she just looked at her hands.

[@Draconaes]

@@groynin Well, she's probably more resistant to the cold than other people, sure. But Winter's aura was explicitly broken, thus she couldn't protect herself or her clothes, which is why her glove was shredded like that. It's also why Cinder's Grimm arm was hurt; aura doesn't protect her arm, either. Penny being more resilient means she was in less danger when she jumped in, but if we need an in-universe explanation for why her clothes weren't destroyed, the most straightforward one is that her aura was still up.

Ozpins speech at the end gives me chills at the end it’s really good

[@hyde6859]

Now that you guys are done with volume 7 of RWBY. Do you perhaps, want to a reaction to All the RWBY Soundtrack?

RWBY Volume 7: Ironwood shoots a kid

[@Samgreen90]

(At 9:30) Penny Polendina meets the Winter Maiden. Or in _this_ case, _Pinocchio_ meets the _Blue Fairy._

[@patricewoods289]

So yang's mom (raven) is the spring maiden. She was using the girl as cover so people would not catch onto her being the maiden. That's why yang's mom and cinder started fighting. Now we have penny (the robot) as winter and cinder is the fall maiden, but cinder is not fully realized because she didnt get her powers all at once and she was it injured shortly after recieving the remaining power and her mental state slows her ability as well as being part grim.

[@blueblade6174]

This episode was a solid 10/10!

[@ZaberFangAT]

Honestly, I think Ironwood's wrong here. It's not the moment he let his guard down that let Salem in, it's the moment he tries to put it back up by withdrawing everyone to Atlas and ordering Winter to go to Fria. Not that Salem necessarily knew Cinder would be following Winter, but it seems like she was at least generally aware of where Cinder was in Vol 6.

[@MelancholicImp]

In terms of Qrow being the scarecrow. He is and isnt. Alot of the characters have references to multiple characters in myth and literature. Qrow also is a reference to Odin's birds who he sent out to the world to bring him information. Ozpin being a partial reference to Odin and the Wizard of Oz, granting Qrow the bird magic. Alot of characters have mixed origins as well as original takes and motives so not to be straight copies. :)

[@danielwilson8604]

Each member of Ruby is also a good analogue. Yang, the straw-headed berseker is also the scarecrow because she needs to learn to think and gets torn apart

[@christophergeorgejr.443]

@Blind Wave Yangs mom was secretly the spring maiden (revealed after her second hand died)

[@ughgowonsscalpandcrunchyvo4926]

16:03 right!? literally the new Weiss Schnee lmao 😂😂😂

[@TheWinterPhoenix]

Raven is the spring maiden, Vernal was decoy. Penny is the Winter maiden and Cinder is fall maiden.

[@CloneMalone]

I feel like they were saying something about everyone who wasn't at Beacon

[@andreasengels7293]

hio i woud say qrow is just a crow and the scarecrow is the headmaster of the last shool (proabably a dud with strawblond fuzzy hair and he is afraied of fire)

[@dredgenauryx3382]

My theory is that the "spear" aka the Staff of Creation is going to be used... Either to create something to defeat Salem or raise the Amity satellite... whatever happens Atlas will come down... I can see no way that Atlas basically the symbol of oppression for Mantle stays in the sky...

[@fanu3p900]

Best part of this volume for me was Oscar/ozpin and ironwood

[@2amCryptid]

W-Why would they assume Salem lives on the moon? When whenever they show where she lives it also shows the broken moon? Salem probably lives in the sacred place of the God of Darkness which is the most likely uninhabited continent that is above the continent of Sanus.

[@damoclesdragonheart4407]

I'm still wondering who the Summer Maiden is, and what they plan to do with the relic in Vacuo.

[@AnjuMaaka]

I’d also like to point out here as well that Penny is hackable....Wats could possibly hack her and use her to open the door for Salem if they get their hands on Penny or even her father to convince her...

[@krimzonstriker7534]

Gen:Lock time now? :D

[@galonski64]

I would love for them to react to Genlock, I feel like they might enjoy it too.

[@LukasEdogawa]

Penny still has aura, pretty sure it can also protect clothes(?)

[@jasonwinterboer5232]

Ruby is ALREADY the Summer Maiden! I believe this due to Harriet saying that Ruby's "semblance" was more than just speed. And, yes, assuming that Summer Rose passed it on to Ruby when she was like 3 years old. A kid that young wouldn't just become a maiden, but slowly evolve into it, right? And we've seen multiple times with all other Maidens that the power manifests in the eyes. I don't think that's a coincidence, but the way Ruby has used her "silver eyes power" has often looked similar to a Maiden's eyes, multiplied several times over. Is this a little too on the head? Yeah. But sometimes that's just the way it has to be. I mean, we all knew what was going to happen at the end of Game of Thrones season 6, right? Even though the producers constantly denied it... And, yes, I still believe Qrow is Ruby's dad.

[@CommanderSlayers]

I guess you could say that Volume 8 is going to be a *RWBY ENDGAME*

[@anthonyfanchin1144]

Salem: You cannot live with your own fear. Where did that bring you? Straight to me.

[@gregrbearclaw6316]

WATCH MORE!

[@joshuana5132]

Raven was the maiden, Vernal was the figurehead/scapegoat, not the other way around. XD

[@TheSkyrider27]

I have a theory on how Team RWBY could turn the situation around but it will come at a price. As Ironwood said the Staff of Creation can "be used for a single purpose" if Team RWBY could get to the Staff they could use it to create an Anti-Grimm energy field that will either instantly destroy them or at lest severely weaken them to the point that they would not be as much as a treat as they normally would. In either case the tide would be turned against Salem but Atlas would fall as a result of losing the staffs power. Ironwood would probably fight them at first but he did state that he would sacrifice "anything" to stop Salem.

[@TrueHavoc13]

I know the teachers and Salem are all wizard of oz themed so Qrow= Scarecrow Ironwood= tin man Goodwitch= good witch Lionheart= cowardly lion Oz= Oz Salem= Wicked Witch. It makes me wonder who the headmaster of shade academy is going to reference.

[@ClockworkAnomaly]

Shade is the scarecrow. Qrow is huginn.

[@PhoenixFire2]

@@ClockworkAnomaly A character can have more than one inspiration. Qrow is the Scarecrow. Theodore, the headmaster of Shade, is Dorothy.

[@PhoenixFire2]

The headmaster of Shade is Dorothy. His name is Theodore, it's a related name to Dorothy.

[@ClockworkAnomaly]

@@PhoenixFire2 the headmaster is dorothy? Is this confirmend by the cfvy books?

[@ClockworkAnomaly]

@@PhoenixFire2 last I heard people were saying Oscar was Dorothy

[@66DragonAnimations]

Hey Blind Wave, did y'all notice that Cinder's Grimm arm is slowly expanding, devouring her?

[@lfz4611]

I believe the song of the credits is a ruby song

[@jakeveryard1775]

Eric: "He's [Ren] been stressed out all season" Volume 8: "Hold my beer"

[@ughgowonsscalpandcrunchyvo4926]

As a person who has Thalassophobia and Megalophobia, that gigantic whale at the ending scares the fuck out of me

[@lyconxero457]

Remember that aura protects you (and your clothes) from damage. Winter’s aura was broken so she had no protection from the cold. Also Cinder’s Grimm arm is vulnerable because aura can’t protect it.

[@jacobrigg5852]

Volume 8 is out when rwby

[@ketodad2310]

Maybe I am wrong but Winter's aura was broken and she had no protection from the intense cold. So maybe it is that aura covers their entire body including clothes.

[@MyNemesisIX]

Caleb Hyles is a youtubers that do voice covers. Check out any of his RWBY covers, im absolutely positive you guys would love it!

[@jmucr96]

This isnt gonna end whale

I think Winters Aura was depleted thats why her gloves was torn my dear Aaron, xx

Vernal. But I don’t think anyone cares about her 😅

[@jaredchildress6724]

I would like to point out that there is no way in hell Salem could be on the moon. I mean you can see the moon from her base and 2 in volume 6 episode 3 it shows the area where she built her base is on Remnant
