RWBY Volume 6 Episode 12 Reaction

[@AgentofChaos315]

Fun fact, one of the guys who worked on the audio for this episode tweeted that the day they were recording sounds for it one of the toilets was acting up and constantly flushing, so they recorded it and used the sound for when Adam falls into the water, dude literally got flushed

[@sanjaynandalall2260]

no wayyy, legendary

[@jessc.994]

I honestly love that the battle with Adam ended with Blake in tears and Yang comforting her. You’re completely right, there’s most likely a million emotions going through her head. Pain and relief and everything in between. And Yang is just there, holding onto Blake and letting her cry like she needs.

[@robertolanzone]

Also this is the first time they blatantly killed a person, it makes sense it'd be traumatic

[@LordAerono]

I've seen it pointed out that the leviathan was kind of Cordovin's fault. Grimm are attracted to negative emotion, the larger the emotion the larger the draw. What pulled it in? The citizens of Argus being worried and freaked out about why the mech is active and fighting so close by. Really shows how Cordovin's ego just keeps making things worse.

[@emdivine]

The citizens definitely had huge pull there. But also Cordovin herself was severely enraged in multiple ways, so even her personal attitude "helped"

[@30ajgo]

Well Ruby and her team didn’t make it any better. Last thing you do with someone with a huge ego is disrespect them.

[@pumpkinwarrior7138]

the mech was also shaking the city which made people stressed

[@j.w.sraptorsquad982]

well there's that, but I imagine having the Grimm-attracting relic kept in this city for a good couple of days also didn't help matters, I wouldn't be surprised if it it was already en-route because of that

[@nathanielreik6617]

@@j.w.sraptorsquad982 I doubt the relic had that much of an impact. It does draw Grimm somewhat but Oz said it was faint and honestly if it was strong enough to draw the Leviathan then each of the Academies would undoubtedly be under constant direct attack from having the relics in the basement.

And yet she is the ONLY one who cares for the people

[@spadeas49]

There is another layer to Blake reaction. Remember all of her story so far, she was born in the white fang, fighting for the rights of the faunus, she saw the battle becoming more violent and decided that it wasn't the response, especially with Adam and the way it was so easy for him to kill in "selfdefense". Now, she killed him in selfdefense. Even if she was forced to do it, there is obviously a part of her that think she fell to his level in that moment. There is of course relief and all you said, but I think there is that too.

[@LunarValkyria]

Interesting notice, if you look in an earlier episode they tease the three major events during the finale. Look for the movie posters they show for a moment when the team first arrived at Argus. ie Tryst in the Mist = Blake and Yang vs Adam, Demon of the Deep = the leviathan grim, etc.

I knew the killing would get a fist pump from Ken but Bethany surprised me.

[@JJMDude]

Yes, it's ridiculous. I understand wanting Adam to be a mote nuanced character, wanting to see him redeem himself, but that ship sailed a long time ago. Adam was NEVER going to stop. He was defeated, and going for a shard of a weapon to keep going after the writing was on the wall. Blake AND Yang separately warned him, gave him outs, and he refused every time. Putting him down for good would be justified in a court of law, and any would aquit them of wrongdoing. Not every heroic character is Batman. You're allowed to defend yourself to the point of ending your attacker. Losing his sword plainly didn't mean he'd surrendered. He was BARELY slower than Blake to grab that blade, and he would have gutted her just the same.

[@heidibailly2835]

Yeah that's dumb lol. I have my complaints about this scene, mainly the character writing that led to it, but it's so obviously self defense.

[@pumpkinwarrior7138]

@@samuelclayhills3298people usually see murder as something planned ahead Adam wanted to murder Blake and planned to kill her when she was alone Like a killer hiding in a victim house waiting for them to drop their guard vs being jumped by a man who wants to assault you and shoving him off onto the concrete which leads to him hitting his head and dying. See how those situations are very different despite the ending being that someone died? Blake and Yang killed Adam out of self defense That’s the big difference there for a lot of people plus there’s also stuff like Manslaughter which is different from murder

[@JJMDude]

@samuelclayhills3298 No, it's not murder. Did they KILL him? Yes. Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being, it is both intentional and unwarranted. This is self defense. Killing and murder are frequently overlapping ven diagrams, but they are distinct. And it's not about "how bad" Adam was, it's that he was ACTIVELY TRYING TO MURDER THEM. I'm not your babysitter. How about learn anything about anything first before you run your ignorant mouth.

To be fair, they've had fake outs before. Look at Cinder.

Some characters have plot armor and can seemingly survive things that would normally be fatal for the sake of the plot. Ya know...the whole "No body, no death" thing. Unless they can see the character's body and it's been confirmed they are actually dead...it's only obvious that people would be skeptical.

You hit the nail on the head with Blakes crying being mostly pure relief and catharsis. Then just sprinkle in some mourning for the guy he COULD'VE been, the guy she loved, and then the added pain of him forcing her to do the thing she never wanted that she resented him for (which is killing) Adam fanboys always flood the YT comment sections on this episode with "this is such bad writing Adam shouldn't have died he was such a great character" and i have to disagree bc, while the version of Adams character we got could have been handled way better, even if it was a masterfully written spiteful villain arc i think him dying was the right choice, for the simplicity of the story AND for the characters. side note: Qrow jumps off the cliff to turn into a bird so they don't have to animate him transforming 😂 it's funny to see all the little ways they try to avoid showing that cause honestly same...i wouldn't wanna try and figure out the mechanics of that either

[@JJR93]

re: Qrow & Raven's transformations.....yeah they always cheat with these because it would be hard to animate and also saves their animation budget for more substantive scenes.

[@CampaignerSC]

He turned out to be nothing more than a foil for Blake in the end so it's hard to even see it as a full death. Losing Torchwick on the other hand was tragic. He was so fun.

[@dazaiosamu7184]

I don't mind the jealous ex psycho angle with a character but his character doesn't exist in a vaccum, he is supposedly leader of the organisation that's fighting against discrimination who turned to radical ways. So it feels really scummy to see the writers make that specific character turn into this. Because not only Adam's character suffers, Blake and Weiss's too. And even Seinna to some extent. I personally think this was just a way for the creators to write off the white fang plot line because they admitted they were too "white" to write something like this. ( I'm paraphrasing) (And to that I'm like, why not just educate yourself on topics of racism, discrimination, etc.) Which is why Blake's arc also gets sidelined and she never gets to restore the fang. Weiss never gets to see the scar, discover the practices of her company, etc. It's not unreasonable to want Adam be in the Atlas arc, explore the faunus discrimination, the dust mines and the sdc more. Like, have him be just as annoying and unbearable, but atleast not sideline the racism for jealous ex part.

[@KdeeBUBBLES444]

@@dazaiosamu7184 I agree. I remember when the Black trailer came out, i was most excited to see Blake and Adam's future interactions after her "betrayal" (this was before we even knew the show was a school anime, before we knew the whole story about the WF, etc.). So when they met again in V3 it was super disappointing that they basically abandoned the "you betrayed our cause" angle, and while there are still bits of it here and there, it's almost entirely overshadowed by the "jilted ex" spin on their relationship. If they had managed to marry both those aspects of their relationship it could have been super complex and interesting, but either they didn't try at all or they tried and failed because Adam just generally comes across as one dimensional.

[@cunningsmile4166]

The whole point is that by this point Blake and Yang had fallen in love. There was no way Adam could win her back

[@JustCallMeDija]

Let’s be honest, Adam was a pretty good villain. A delusional, manipulative narcissist on a mission to destroy anyone who (in his eyes) wronged him, only to be killed due to his own self destruction. He’s the kind of villain that we need to see more in shows like RWBY.

[@revolvingzyclon6901]

They kinda ruined him with the crazy jealous ex-boyfriend trope though

[@willowisp90]

​@@revolvingzyclon6901 I wouldn't say they ruined him with it. He was on a downward spiral BECAUSE he's such a narcissist. He lost everything bc of it. It was the only real conclusion for him. Sure, he could've gone and become a major villain or whatever. But his spitefulness wouldn't let him see beyond his own ego. And so, he died a petty, crazy, jealous ex bf.

[@GamerGrovyle]

@@revolvingzyclon6901 He was never a crazy jealous ex boyfriend? He was never looking to get Blake back. He was more so enraged that she would go befriend the species who has enslaved and abused their people for centuries. She was a "race traitor" if that makes sense. She promised him she'd always be on his side (cause she was young and naive) then betrayed him for the oppressors. He's no Incel. Just a spiteful, vengeful, monster created by human abuse. Like a rabid dog who needs to be put down.

[@ISAFMobius18]

Fun Facts Fact 1: The episode is named after the idiom of the same name, meaning "to become very angry because of something which has been said or done." It could also reference Adam Taurus's animal nature, and the common association that bulls dislike the color red and attempt to attack it. Alternately or additionally, it may reference Ruby's red outfit, Adam's red hair, and/or the overall red theme of both characters. Fact 2: Yang catching Adam's sword can be seen as a reference to the scene in Beauty and the Beast where Gaston tries to bludgeon the Beast, but the Beast catches the object Gaston was trying to bludgeon him with. Fact 3: This season had a core fight team that animated all the fights. Fact 4: The way Adam dies is apparently similar to how the death of the machine Adam in Nier: Automata plays out. Kerry had only played an hour of the game at this point so he did not know that was a thing. Fact 5: Nier: Automata was actually referenced for the mech fight (the mechanics of how the fight would work) since a robot was involved in the first boss fight. Fact 6: Some shots from the Adam and Yang fight were similar to those from Naruto, but that was also a coincidence.

It’s kind of disappointing that the show makes Adam so unlikeable that the plight of the White Fang and Faunus is seen as an afterthought. Because if Adam wasn’t such an awful person the main focus of these last few episodes would probably be the people like Cordovan that exist. People that have insane allegiances to Atlas and treat the other kingdoms like they’re lesser for a number of reasons that are at best discriminatory. I mean, Adam was branded by a dust company and people still can’t gather why he would hate humans to the point of wanting to kill them.

[@JJMDude]

What? It was ALWAYS clearly a visual motif of that power that he and Raven can only do it when nobody can directly see them. You wanted some freakish wild-shape werebird transformation? One... it's a free webtoon... Two... it's a sensible thing to do since it's a magical transformation. Why are you framing it like its an error or something? It's plainly deliberate. This is the shit I hate about RWBY criticism. People stop touching on REAL flaws and imperfections and attack things that are literally not a problem unless you're mad they didn't do things specifically how YOU'D have done it.

[@Splungified]

​@@JJMDude First of all, I *still* like RWBY, but pointing out some of the goofier workarounds they had to do doesn't mean I'm attacking it. There were almost certainly more subtle ways they could have gone about hiding the transformation, such as when Raven flew behind a tree. I don't believe there is any indication that he needs to be out of sight in order to transform, merely that the production crew chooses to keep it from the audience. For example, earlier in the fight when they all split off to confuse Cordovan, he flies out from behind the same rock as everyone else. He was almost certainly within view of the rest of the party when he transformed that time, but was only hidden from the *audience*.

[@JJMDude]

@Splungified Regardless I'm not seeing the problem. I like it as a stylistic choice, and it's never needed to be more than what they settled on. Yeah, I'm sorry, I've just heard so many permutations of bogus criticisms invented because a contingent of the internet religiously hates the series and its characters, stuff like that ticks me off, because some people will try to contextualize ANYTHING as some kind of shameful flaw.

[@AztechHydra]

I agree Adam needed to die but i really wanted to see more of his character and dive into his psychology

[@Mirality]

His psychology got spelled out pretty clearly throughout the course of the show and the Adam character short. He was a faunus in the Atlas mines who suffered abuse at the hands of the SDC. He reacted to that abuse by becoming an abuser himself, at first "freedom fighting" for a noble cause but quickly descending into "screw everyone else, I'm only looking out for me because I'm owed something by the world" -- as Blake put it, "the embodiment of spite". And unfortunately Sienna encouraged that behaviour at a crucial tipping point where he might have gone the other way. These things don't excuse his behaviour -- he's definitely a piece of crap for the entire show -- but they do explain it.

[@AztechHydra]

@@Mirality yes i agree he was still a t**t, im more saying it'd been nice to see him have more story especially considering they then went to atlas like it'd been perfect to see him there as a third party

​@@AztechHydra I kinda agree, it was a wasted opportunity that Adam didn't interact with Weiss or get angry at Blake befriending the (ex) heiress of SDC plus all the way back in S1 Weiss mentioned people she knew going "missing", the set-up was there but yeah most RWBY fans do agree the whole White Fang and discrimination sub-plot was pretty weak.

11:03 Look. I hate Adam as much as any rational person does but thinking that anything he does is out of a desire to be "The Hero" or "The Good Guy" is just plain wrong. He is just a victim who wants revenge so that he won't have to stay the victim. He's seen and lived Faunus abuse at it's worst (the initials for the Schnee Dust Company was not burned into his face by accident) and is fighting to get revenge on the species who wronged him. There's no illusion in him that he is the Hero of the Faunus, he might talk a big game but he just wants the metaphorical scales of Faunus dead by Human hands and Humans dead by Faunus hands to be more evenly balanced. Him chasing after Blake is not because he's some Incel who thinks he deserves her love or wants her back. He wants her *dead* because she betrayed him and "their people" to go gallivanting around helping their oppressors after she promised she would be by his side through everything. It's just another case of a victim who wants revenge on the ones who victimized him. it just upsets me when people boil him down to an Incel who thinks he deserves the woman. At least hate him for the right reasons, he's just a scared monster made by cruel people who needs to be put down.

I know people don't like Adam, heck I'm one of them after these past two vol. but I didn't wish death on him, I wanted him to have redemption bit not that kind of thinking in my opinion is just wicked.

[@jordanjansen9471]

if I may make a constructive criticism, the music overpowers the dialouge(spelling?) in the videos. It was realy bad in your last video, and while its not quite as bad here, it's still pretty noticable. Not sure what changed, but it never used to be an issue before.

i get why they killed him off but adam was leageus above them in volume 3 i dont think even with all that training they could beat him also say hi to lenny that giant grimm

[@pumpkinwarrior7138]

It’s been two years since v3 and Adam has lost a lot of his confidence But I really do think Yang’s training is the most important because she didn’t even fight Adam last time, she didn’t think and just left herself open Here her whole fighting style has changed

[@merlijnbal221]

@@pumpkinwarrior7138 yang her training did indeed help but even when she lost her hand he sliced trough her aura we never saw her lose it so thats a thing that made him so much better and even tho he lost like everything it should make him so much weaker imo but again killing him off was like the better thing cuz he lost like i said everything he would not join salem in any way

5:18 Who was Qrow looking at here? 🤔 11:17 Let's not gloss over the fact a man just died. Self-defense 100%, but Blake was close to him at one point in her life (that you later touched on). She killed him. I don't think even she knows what she's feeling.
