[@bronycrafter1526]

@@juliaithinal4835 that's what I mean, he had to become so skilled as to cancel out the deadly bad luck, he was forced to face worse events than most huntsman because of his poor luck, and only survived because of skill beyond that of your normal huntsman

@@bronycrafter1526 he also said he has a small degree of control- that sometimes it can affect other people too. That's literally why he usually lives alone. Thats not to invalidate his own struggles tho- that's all very true. However I think its disingenuous to the character to say he has no control.

Let's acknowledge that Qrow, the person who taught Ruby to use her scythe, and is well known for being the only scythe user of the era aside from Ruby, has 2 minutes of actually using said scythe out of 8 volumes. But also going off that, if he's so good with the sword that he doesn't often need the scythe, Qrow switching to the scythe must terrify anyone who goes against it.

[@KuroYHime]

[@firewolf950tfwgaming7]

I feel like it’s because CRWBY can’t find a good way to use it and just have him just use it in sword form. Which you can or can’t blame them when knowing that like a majority of characters are brawlers or sword users, so they probably thought that since Crow’s scythe is also a sword they might as well just leave it as a sword.

[@jennymckenzie5304]

That little sequence at 0:59 really cements that Qrow is a legend, really put sinto perspective what the average huntsman or huntress must be like and how Ruby has been trained by the best, there's a reason she's a prodigy, the two of them are probably the most talent scythe weilders of their generation, easily.

[@orange51599]

Ever wonder of Qrow looks back at the moment in that first clip and just thinks, "I could have saved us a lot of trouble..."

[@skrubknight884]

probably would've made things worse at that point. Then the countries would actually have gone to war

[@malikoniousjoe]

But Team RWBY wasn’t in the first clip. Unless you’re implying Qrow’s an idiot who’d have considered murdering a colleague for no reason. Hell if he did that Yang would still be walking around with a stump arm, Weiss would have probably been arrested for murdering someone at the fundraiser, Penny Mk2 wouldn’t have been funded, and Ruby would have gotten kidnapped by Tyrian after every other noble Atlesian soldier watched a drunk psycho murder their general during a terrorist attack from an unknown enemy force.

[@anguirus6803]

0:53 this is actually a really good detail. Qrow is spinning perfectly straight ,but ruby is tilting ever so slightly as she's spinning. Shows there different levels of skill perfectly. And anybody who's seen the shorts knows ruby is most likely the best on the team. In terms of pure skill with her weapon (weiss maybe better 🤔) . Point being she dosen't just swing cresent around to look pretty. Really shows qrows skill and he trained ruby so that makes it better

[@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790]

RWBY's weapon is canonically heavier and she has less muscle mass. Doesn't really matter, just pointing it out.

[@saraheveraarts7937]

​​@@snakeslife-uroborodjinn790Still, the fact that she managed that spinning, albeit a little awkwardly, is impressive in itself. Also, one thing I've noticed, Qrow swings upward, while Ruby swings downward. That's bound to make a difference

[@kuroyukikazekanade7557]

1:02 can we just talk about how fast his scythe changes forms unlike rubys

[@riplix20]

Probably a bit easier for a scythe to turn into a sword than a sniper. Who knows though lmao

[@anthonycannet1305]

The scene where they fight on the train is one of my favorite scenes of Qrow fighting because up till that point Ruby and Qrow's fighting styles didn't seem to have a lot in common despite Qrow being Ruby's teacher.

[@Loispealz34]

Makes sense tho. Qrow is a heavy fighter, ruby isn't. Ruby relies on her semblance to get momentum and to be aggressive, qrow just straight up swaps between forms, punches if needed. Also there's the gap in experience. Mind you they are both absolute whirlwinds of death, they just apply said whirlwind differently.

I wish Ruby’s scythe choreography was as good as Qrow’s, like I know her style is more “launch myself around with the gun part” but still, it always feels really weightless watching her fight in volume 7 and 8

[@Monsterbaane]

I think it makes sense theirs is so different qrow still has decades of skill over ruby and I dont think she fully tries to copy him either as you said her style is the gun propelling her that style fits her more even if it appears sloppy since her power is speed

[@leiflovlin7556]

@@Monsterbaane yeah, but I just think, especially in this current animation style (not necessarily because of the engine) movement and combat seem really binary. Like ruby is either going fast or slashing, never both, but then you see stuff like qrow twirling his scythe in a flourish, throwing his sword and kicking it mid-air and I just think, “damn, I wish ruby fought more fluidly”

Ruby's uncle? More like a dad to me.

[@jacobkleinsasser5658]

The last bit bugs me. Qrow knows Tyrion is a menace, is insane, and likely murders puppies as a hobby... So why on earth would he team up with him for any reason? Sure Clover wants to arrest him, and that is a conflict that will need resolution, but at that moment it's Tyrion, puppy murderer, or Clover, an officer who is a good guy just following bad orders... You team up with Clover to put Tyrion out of his misery, then worry about Clover.

[@typhonyx_was_taken]

In the director’s commentary for Volume 7 they say that one thing they wish they’d shown better was that Clover wouldn’t stop attacking Qrow. This is why Qrow has the line in Vol 8 about how Clover “just wouldn’t let up”. The intention of the scene is that Qrow wanted to team up against Tyrion but Clover kept attacking Qrow because Clover knows how good Qrow is and underestimates Tyrion. Because Qrow thinks he can take out Tyrian on his own he decided to take Clover out of the picture as soon as possible. Qrow made a ceasefire with Tyrian because Clover wouldn’t stop attacking Qrow and Qrow saw no other way forward

[@jacobkleinsasser5658]

@@typhonyx_was_taken even if that's true you don't put a ceasefire with the puppy murderer extraordinaire. But that just puts Clover's idiocy in the limelight of you have someone who you certainly be reasonable with vs someone who you should also know would happily eat your family.
