you guys should react to seven deadly sins !!

[@johanliebert9872]

I think that the title of the episode was a spectacular choice. Fault has so many meanings: Definition 1: an unattractivel or unsatisfactory feature, especially in a piece of work or in a person's character. Ren's habit of pushing people away. Salem's manipulations. A reminder of. Ozpin's lies. Cinder's disobedience. Emerald's loyalty. Yang's self doubt. Harriet's anger. Qrow's self-hatred. Definition 2 a break or other defect in an electrical circuit or piece of machinery. This one is a bit obvious in the bikes and how they fell apart. But I think an interesting aspect is also in Cinder. In Salem's eyes, she isn't a person. Cinder is a part of the machine that is Salem's plans. This disobedience, this process of making her own decisions, putting her desires over Salem's, it's a break in that machine. Definition 3 a misguided or dangerous action or habit. Ren's habit of pushing people away. Definition 4 responsibility for an accident or misfortune Ren is blaming them for the deaths that are coming, but he doesn't realize that it's a lose-lose situation. No matter what they chose, people were gonna die. And their choices would've ended up with some blood on their hands. There was no good option. Like the Witcher said "Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling... makes no difference. The degree is arbitrary." Every decision they could have made in some way had evil in it. It was the situation. Also, Hazel is blaming Ozpin for his sister's death, but I'm sure it didn't happen like that. And Oscar gets the pain for it. And Qrow. Gosh, Qrow. That whole situation. Definition 5 GEOLOGY- an extended break in a body of rock, marked by the relative displacement and discontinuity of strata on either side of a particular surface. love this one, because it's such a literal thing. The ice, obviously, falls under this definition. But we can see other places where there is an extended break, but in people. Yang, Jaune, Ren, Qrow, Harriet, Marrow, Ruby, Weiss, Whitely, Blake, Cinder, Hazel, Ozpin, Oscar, Emerald. There are breaks. There are lines of breaks in all of them. And we're seeing those breaks being hit. Now to the verbs: Definition 1 criticize for inadequacy or mistakes Ren is the obvious one here. He criticizes all of them, including himself. Qrow, Harriet, Whitely, all of them do this. But Salem, I think, hit the most with the least amount of words and movement. She hits Oz for his lies, she hits Cinder for her attitude, and in a few words; she points out that her Hound is SO much better. Definition 2 Do wrong This is an old term, but still works. And you can see the obvious ones here. Definition 3 GEOLOGY-(of a rock formation) be broken by a fault or faults These kids are being broken by their faults. And it's killing them. So yeah, faults was the best name choice possible.

[@TheGreater-ScopeVillain]

I like the dynamic between Cinder and Salem in that both of them are essentially using the other. Neither of them have ever really cared about anyone, they just view everyone else around them as tools to serve their own ends. In fact, Cinder honestly probably hates Salem more than anyone else in history. Eventually, Cinder's and Salem's respective interests are going to reach an impasse, and one of them is going to have to outmanoeuvre the other. I can't wait to find out which one of them comes out on top in the end. Also, SPOILERS below: Salem: _"My Hound is SO much better than you, Cinder!"_ The Hound: **dies on its second mission** Salem: **is obliterated in her next fight right after being robbed of the only Relic she possessed** Cinder: _"I believe you owe me an apology."_

[@MrAuthor3DS]

A lot of people dub Ren the MVP in this episode for venting, but Jaune is the one who's keeping everyone's cool in this moment.

[@nathanielreik6617]

All of RWBYJNR, Ozpin, Oscar, Qrow, and Maria Calavera definitely know how many questions are left. Oscar may also have told Ironwood.

[@robertpresley1503]

It wouldn't even matter if Oscar was telling the truth about the lamp being out of questions. It wasn't what Salem asked. She knows that she can just wait another century if she has to. She just needs the password. She asked a specific question and he gave a meaningless answer from her point of view.

[@abaddonarts1129]

Jaune's shield uses Gravity Dust, which pushes kinetic force away from the shield, and hard light dust that allows him to glide with it. The grenades have various dust types, which we saw with the wind grenade last episode, and now the hard shield that they ramped over.

[@arcadius2569]

It still gets me that Weiss pointed her weapon at her brother, like geez. Love the Salem scenes, by the brothers she's awesome, talking to her eternal rival who is also her ex.

[@alirezaomrani7650]

So if I’m not mistaken these are the terms used in the RWBY universe as a substitute for God. -Oh my Gods -Only the Bothers know -MOTHER OF GODS!! -What in the name of the Brothers are you doing!!? -By the Gods! -Only the Brothers can save us now -I SWEAR UPON THE BROTHERS I DIDN’T DO IT!!! -Thank the Bothers! -BROTHERS HELP ME IF I DONT KILL YOU BY TOMORROW!!!! {Hope this list helps 😊}

[@YumaNanami]

The Shield and the Shield disk aren't magnetic, though it would be better since it would be a solemn reminder of Pyrrha. But it's gravity dust, usually everything with purple is Gravity dust. Everyone of team RWBY and ALPN would know there is one question left.

Season 3 all over again lol

[@toshido_yamada]

hard for me to choose a fav, this season has a lot of good episodes all around for different reasons

[@k.rider-kun8919]

If I'm not mistaken, I think this season in particular the infighting between the main cast is more prevalent compare to previous seasons. If I remember the main cast had very little infighting during the previous seasons. The only notable infighting happen durring volume 6 which was around the time they learn about Ozpin's secret.

[@headhunter179]

And then the infighting wasnt so wide spread, it was mostly directed towards Ozpin. Comparing it to Volume 8 where they've split in two because of different reasons to fight.

[@shaniamonde7341]

I mean...he did.

[@davidajayi6516]

Cause ren is right

[@jefferywilliams3581]

After a little alone time with Hazel, Salem is betting Oscar/Ozma will either give up the location of the Relic of Choice at Beacon, or he will give up how to use the Lamp. Either way, she will get the information she needs to get the Relic at Beacon.

[@FinallyTalkinBack]

Eric, Calvin, and Aaron... I just have to warn you guys about Rick... He has a egg of the king around his neck. Tread carefully with that one. Great reaction guys.

[@robertpresley1503]

Also, it wouldn't matter if it was because Salem could just wait another thousand years. So even if he was telling the truth, it wasn't an answer to the question of the password.

Spoilers: Since they're up to chapter 8 on patreon right now, can the editor for these reactions let them know (if they weren't aware already) that the faunus inside the Hound had silver eyes

[@goat1408]

Clover was an idiot....his death was HIS fault. Working with Qrow to subdue Tyrion was the ONLY choice to make

[@Pablo360able]

They already have the information they need to work out how to defeat Salem, really; the problem is, they don't have a reasonable way to put it into practice, so there's no way “convince Salem of the value of death” will occur to them.

[@alirezaomrani7650]

Salem CAN’T be convinced of the value of Life and Death in her CURRENT state. The first thing they need to do is clear her of the destructive influence of the Grimm pool in order to give her the chance to see reason. And the only way to do that is by using the gift that the God Of Light left for humanity-“Silver Eyes”

[@bel410la]

I do think that Ren has a habit of pushing his feelings down because he never talks much, so he's been building up this aggression and finally he's just letting it all out and I do think he needs to. He's just keeping himself held back and focusing on the past, he can't focus on what to do next because he's worried about what they should have done rather than what they did. And he's got the pent up feelings with Nora. I get it.

24:10 Detective Calvin

[@TenebrousFilms]

The semblances don't equate, Robyn can control hers, and it requires touch. Her presumption aside, even if her semblance works both ways, how would *she* prove Qrow didn't kill Clover? She slept through the whole thing. She should hold Qrow's hand instead... but no, because it's not time for them to escape, yet. Cool chase scene, though. "Go to your room," Weiss ordered, then sighed and added more softly, "We'll talk later." Three little words would have helped the scene immensely. Everyone who was present for the second question knows there's a third. Fun to watch Salem treat Cinder like Cinder treated Emerald at the start of volume 2; shame her treatment of Emerald doesn't change. Speaking of, can she fly a ship instead of Neo? I still think Cinder was originally intended to retrieve the lamp, but Neo needed to do more than play pilot.

[@chb2551]

Yeah, Ren's been a jerk through Volume 7 and he's continued it through this volume. I'm surprised that Yang just didn't tell him "If you don't think you're ready to be a huntsman, than just leave. We plan to continue on. It's better to be down a person than to have a person bring everyone else down because they don't want to be here." Oh, and his shield has been put in a solid surface before. Even the ice from the mine. That gave it vertical stability. What he did there was use the remote shield in the snow. The snow would give so that when that much kinetic energy hit the shield, the snow gave and allowed it to fall onto the rock in front of it, creating a ramp. The lamps are in Beacon, Haven, Atlas, and Vacuo. The Haven one is the lamp. She can't find Beacon's. The spear is in Atlas. That leaves Vacuo's to go.

[@jonathanrobinson198]

Yang: We did fine at Haven! *Weiss nearly died* Yang:We took down a leviathan! *Ruby and a robot killed a Leviathan that they attracted* I really don’t understand why Yang thinks they’ve been doing well when they barely get by. Her team nearly died underground in an abandoned town after a train crash. They’ve been getting by on a lot of luck.

[@griswo3272]

Ah yes ren was of thinking, doing nothing, what great way of helping

[@jonathanrobinson198]

Griswo No he wasn’t. He didn’t even get a choice in the decisions that were mainly Ruby and Yang’s. Like others he’s willing to follow his friends lead but is the only person that actually thinks about the potential backlash and multiple angles to a problems.

[@red7s156]

Yes Weiss nearly died, but they still succeeded. And actually Cordovin attracted it because she was screaming her usual nationalistic BS about murdering a bunch of teenagers for wounding her pride through an intercom that reached the entire city, causing enough fear to attract the Leviathan Grimm. But if you acknowledged that you'd have nothing to complain about, would you?

[@bullmoosevelt4495]

@@red7s156 Yes, Cordovin did that because she is a dumb character, reacting to the fact that RWBY took it upon themselves to steal an Atlas Airship instead of just giving the relic to Weiss and having her deliver to Ironwood personally, who in return probably would have contacted Cordovin to bring them to Atlas.

[@DeathKnight5608]

Willow to Weiss last volume: “Whitley hates you because you left him alone with your father. He’s a victim too. Don’t forget your brother.” Weiss this episode: **points a sword at him and sends him to his room like he’s a child/nuisance**

[@Pablo360able]

ugh, please say sike, did you watch the same episode as me? whitley is basically neutral-to-pissy this episode and weiss is totally justified calling him out and sending him to his room.

[@BisexualCrimes]

@@Pablo360able did you forget he was literally by himself w/ him confirming that house staff left and willow locking herself in her room? of course he's pissed, he was left behind by his sister again and his mom's not being there for him just like before (and this happened after his father got arrested) not to mention he probably found out that weiss n the others are wanted, that would make anyone skeptical and hesitant to trust them, especially since whitley doesn't know the context behind them being wanted. and yes, weiss was stressed, they all are, that still doesn't make it okay for her to point a weapon at her brother (who doesn't have his aura active and was only being snippy at her not to mention she could've easily just shushed him and sternly say "we're coming in") and push him away like he's a nuisance when he was willing to put his attitude aside and asked if he could do anything to help, like weiss just forgot her mom's explanation of why her brother acts like that towards her. i love weiss but they made her seem un-empathethic towards her brother unless he does something she approves of which negates the growth she's gone through since v1. v8 as a whole is an amazing volume but i really hated the way crwby handled the reconciling w/ the schnees this volume. i'm sorry for this reply being long, i'm just so tired of the fndm treating whitley like he's the worst bc of his attitude when weiss had a similar attitude back in v1 and everyone praised her for growing from that (which is what whitley's doing rn yet ppl still call him an asshole either way) and acting like he isn't an abuse victim just like his sister's and mom 😓

[@kumorizora2507]

Whitley has been nothing but an asshole with zero redeeming value at this point in the show. Nothing about Weiss treatment of him at this moment is anything less than warranted. Dude is pretty fresh off of invalidating her chosen life path as barbaric. That's not something that can be just forgiven and forgotten so easily.
