RWBY Vol9 Epilogue (RTX 2023) (CC)

this is the undeveloped epilogue that was meant for the end of volume 9
showed off during the RWBY panel at RTX Austin 2023

[@Neekazan]

I'm not sure why, but I cried when I saw the poster of Ruby with the "Remember her message," written on it. I love how Qrow gave Willow support.

[@CatKun1234]

I cried when Nora Ren and Oscar saw team RWBY I can’t wait to see Emeralds reaction lol

[@TheGrandPlayer]

Considering that Raven was the one who gave em a portal to Qrow, i'd imagine that as soon as they get back to Remnant, Raven opens up a portal to Yang and hugs her, thinking that she was no longer alive. She probably felt the portal re-connect with her semblance since she returned. And lead up to that.

[@melvindekkers6105]

I honestly would love this as volume 10's first episode. Qrow being positive and supportive really suits him way more then being all doom and gloom. Also where he had to catch himself after seeing Ruby's message memorial was powerfull. I can't wait till this gets animated and Qrow being over the moon learning that Ruby, Yang and everyone is stil alive.

[@CatKun1234]

I don’t know why but I kind of cried at the end ….. stupid emotions i’m just glad I never gave up on RWBY >:3

[@unscsnip3r]

God dam, this ending hit so much harder. Hope this is encorporated into v10 if it happens

[@thewalrus45]

They said it would be part of Episode 1 with some tweaks right before showing it. It's a V7E1 situation basically, they had an idea for the finale but now it's going to be the opener for the next season instead.

[@ShirouBrando]

​@thewalrus45 so we have a green lit for Volume 10 now?!

[@thewalrus45]

@@ShirouBrando No but from the panel they seem pretty damn confident that their making it and have started pre-production I imagine their talking budgets and shit behind the scenes before the final go ahead can be given (plus they mentioned talking to "new partners" which was very vauge but I think it's probably them talking to other animation studios to help out since rebuilding and training all the employees they'd need for RT animation to do a full season by itself would take quite a while and be a huge investment)

[@ShirouBrando]

@thewalrus45 hmm Interesting Well its good to hear there confident in Volume 10 at least

[@TheSkyrider27]

@@thewalrus45 Don't forget that they are doing another season of Red vs Blue which could potentially impact how soon we will hear about any developments from RWBY.

[@user-mu1os7me8s]

I hope this is the beginning of the first episode of Volume10. It would definitely be an emotional rollercoaster to start Volume10 like this. I really want a fully colored version, so we can truly see what Vacuo looks like.

[@TheSkyrider27]

They mentioned that they have started the writing process for Volume 10 so odds are good that it will be greenlit however they also mentioned that Red vs Blue would be brought back for one final season so it could be awhile before we get any news on RWBY.

[@jesusabrahamarredondoavila6177]

I also hope that this will be the first chapter of volume 10 of rwby

A small spark of hope and a smaller more honest soul

[@mryoungandbrave1]

Jaune's face when he saw his team, he was glowing. It looks like Raven is working with Qrow, I wonder how that will change when it's revealed Raven knows about Summer's final mission.

[@maxtusker4380]

Thankyou for posting this. Not all of the fans of RWBY live in America so many of us can't afford the international flights and cost of accommodation or the time off work to got to RTX. Maybe they were planning to show this to the rest of the world later, I hope so. I also hope you don't get into trouble for posting this.

[@wildeyoung3943]

They're probably going to adapt part of this into the beginning of v10

[@Zack_Zander]

Likely in the middle of V10, we gotta know how they met up with Raven

[@FortuneDrake]

Please let this be Volume 10 Chapter 1!

[@RaykinaBreaker]

The last arriving scene might be imposible to remake but the Winter and Qrow part can be readapt as episode 1 volume 10. We need that heavy struggle scene.

[@diegoblacutt8994]

1:12 - 1:35 IF iam not mistaken those are the old lady who wanted to go hide in Atlas back in V8 and her Blonde (with a red cloath) Daughter with her Child. Its funny to see her ALWAYS apologising for someone's behaviour.

[@kktallman6257]

The struggle of being the only liberal in a conservative household.

[@jerredthejudicator3030]

Raven being a good mom now

[@mangafreak923]

Lmao no not even close. She has a lot of work to do before she can be considered a good mom. As of this moment she is still a deadbeat who abandoned her kid and family to go be a bandit leader. She also let her daughter shoulder the responsibility of the relic instead of being a parent and taking that on instead. Not saying she isn't redeemable, but she has a lot of work ahead of her.

[@kbarts316]

This ending had me in tears. It's too pure. Screw the Justice League, this would of been ten times better.

[@kevinimation5508]

Its not suprising if jaune has forgoten some of familiar faces. I mean, traped for over 15-20 years?. I couldnt even remember my classmate 10 years ago.

[@shockrobin5000]

Yes! You love to see it!

[@richardsov1271]

I can’t wait for Rwby volume 10 to come out. Can’t wait for the Volume 10 trailer to come out.

[@Khobai]

at this rate there wont be a volume 10.

[@lhhOriginalGrey]

Thank you

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

They could’ve given us more leeks for Vol 10, such as: * Why did Raven suddenly come back? * How long has it been? (NO MONTHS OR YEARS!) * What new Grimm will we see? Warner Bros’ insistence on the Justice League crossovers is shattering Rooster Teeth day after day. I GATE SECRETS!

[@brittanymchaffie7604]

Suddenly? You mean why did she rescue her only daughter that she has a connection with via her semblence? She obviously felt her return. Raven may have abandoned Yang but she does still love her (and Qrow). If she felt that connection disappear and reappear, she would go check it out.

[@uiyi3878]

And for how long has it been, when Ruby asked The Blacksmith where would the portal take them it said "not were, but *when* you are needed the most" So maybe, even if in the Everafter they spended like, I don't know, 3 or 4 days, they'll probably be a bit in the future. At least one month or a bit more.

[@ma3mc3mu-X]

@@uiyi3878 Either way, I hope it isn't *too* long.

[@flameroad123]

Leaving this out of vol 9 was the biggest mistake RT has been...by far.

[@allenwilson3329]

They have time and budget constraints. Do you want to pay them?

[@Gabrielhoffman531]

I get the feelin this will probably be in volume 10 and I’m assuming it would be episode 1

[@firstconsul7286]

To be honest, I'd prefer that they left this for V10, because it leaves it open to be a lot more than just the edge of an episode. There was a lot to cover at the end of V9, and honestly some more time on that would be more worth it than the jump to Vacuo.

[@Khobai]

all of vol 9 was the biggest mistake so far. vol 9 was utterly pointless and did zero to advance the plot or characters. there wasnt even any good character interaction in vol 9. or any kindve credible buildup for bumblebee whatsoever. its like they just wanted to add lesbians to the show for the sake of having lesbians. when both characters have been undeniably straight since season 1.

[@SimonPetrikov12]

​@Khobai what a bad take. It's like looking at reddit

[@Anto_85571]

I don't get why "Be chill" isn't imprinted in these people's DNA at this point. You'd think that having these predators that feed on negative emotions, living in the same world with them forever, would a taught everyone to cool it.

Jaune was never supposed to go through that tragedy in the first place he didn't grow from it being alone in that depression for that long made him lose his sanity and hope. Giving his age back was the right move why would u want him to be 40 when all his friends are 18 smh 💀💀

[@Mariusweeddeath]

@@kidkaden5139 Because then you at least have an interesting dynamic that you can't wave away. You can say that you still have that dynamic it would mostly be surface less without the actual physical consequences for it. Jaune is basically a 40 yrs old guy in the body of 18 yrs old but I very much doubt they are going to mention or ever bring it up again if there isn't a direct tie to it. The streak in his hair can literally just be explained away as stress (its an actual phenomenon) and so it can be effectively waved away and never brought up in any meaningful way again. Having Jaune walk around as a 40 yrs old, basically closer in age to Qrow and Winter than to his own friends, has an actual effect on the story around the characters. Does he still try to reconnect with his old team? Do those 30 odd yrs alone give him new skills/experiences/perspective that he wants to but can't share with his old team? Does the now older age give him a more loner streak that his team try to overcome? Can they overcome it? I agree that Jaune didnt' grow much during those 30 odd yrs but not growing as person doesn't mean those yrs don't mean anything and can just be forgotten.

[@husseinhassan6750]

@@MariusweeddeathYou know how many loose plot lines they have to tie up. The series is literally going to end in a couple years, no need to add new stuff that you know won’t be covered. Remember how Vol 9 past couple episodes where rushed as hell even though they were in a removed situation with a very limited set of character. Vol 10 will be in a similar situation, so Jaune isn’t going to be a much of a main factor unless his core plots will be wrapped up in that volume.

[@GenZealous]

This is ham fisted and forcing an emotional response 🥱

[@andrewbrigmond8784]

Is it working?

[@jorgezaldivar3113]

It's emotional, but...iffy... Had they done better writing, planned season 9 better, and removed Bumbleby from the show, this would've been possible in the show.

[@noppornwongrassamee8941]

I get the feeling this might be V10's opening scene. The exposition feels very much like something you'd put at the start of a Volume, not the end.

[@DocMicrowave]

Agreed. heh, even in that ending reunion, Blake and Yang still only have eyes for each other. Looks like it will be more of the same for them if V10 ever gets a go. Also, yeah this feels more like a start to a volume, not the end.

@@DocMicrowave Bumbleby needs to break up for a Volume 10 Greenlight. I swear, Yang has blew it as a sister too many times...

[@DocMicrowave]

@@jorgezaldivar3113 Would be great if it can happen, but you can forget about it as long as CRWBY still runs the show. CRWBY opened that Pandora's box that is Bumblebee because they wanted please the toxic minority of fans who demanded it. Thinking it would score progressive points and lead to more likes, subs, and merch sales. (It didn't). Now they could not shut it down or even cool it in the slightest way even if they wanted to out of fear of being canceled. They learned a hard lesson about that when they killed off Clover after ship teasing him with Qrow for nearly an entire volume. Heh, but it is OK to cool Renora obviously. Doesn't matter how strongly it was based or documented. (Straight ships are not resilient in this show and usually end badly. That's just the way it is.)

[@DocMicrowave]

@@jorgezaldivar3113 As for a V10 green light... It has nothing to do with Bumblebee. (Well, not directly.) It has everything to do with money. As in RT/CRWBY are hard up for it right now. Dealing with falling profits, lost subs, a buy out, bad reputation for employment, the loss of most staff from contracts expiring, to some quiting (including VA's) due to toxic work conditions. Even if they mamage to get financed, they will need to hire a new crew of staff, animators, VAs and so far to get going again. If there will be a V10, I suspect it will be another couple years before it comes out. And this is assuming RT doesn't fold by then.

[@lucinatheabysswalker4383]

Not surprised this didn't get the green light. This show was terrible for years

[@Khobai]

just when I didnt think rwby could get worse they came out with season 9... this show is complete garbage now. its no wonder season 10s not greenlit. if they do make season 10 they need to go back to like season 1-3 and copy what made rwby good originally.
