RWBY Volume 9 Finale reaction and discussion

[@ave_r_ie]

Thank you all so much for joining me this Volume, I started posting thinking nobody would see these and now here I am 10 weeks later and more people saw this than I ever thought possible. You all mean the absolute world to me! I was so scared to post these later reactions because of how vulnerable my reactions got but your guys’s kind reception has made me feel so safe, and I appreciate that. So for any of you that need to hear it, You are enough. You have always been enough. Remember to love yourself. Remember to live for yourself. Remember to choose yourself. Because you are you, and that is enough. Thank you guy so much!!!❤

[@milferdjones2573]

I will add forgive others and yourself which is how you believe all the statements made here.

[@user-rw1ym6om9c]

thank you, friend)

[@travisenglish8033]

Now that the volume is over will you be making a playlist for it?

[@AzureIV]

Nice cosplay.

[@Blazingstoke]

Whoever needs to hear this: YOU ARE ENOUGH.

[@ave_r_ie]

SCREAM IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS

[@Simmlex]

So that's what people mean when they tell me "I had enough of you" XD XD (Joking)

[@TyrannosaurusTREW]

NO IM NOT ENOUGH, IM ALWAYS NOT ENOUGH, THERES ALWAYS A LIMITER I NEED TO BREAAK AND IM BREAKING EVERY SINGLE ONE

[@hory-portier]

Thank you

[@CaptainFourEyes]

Thx.

[@TheZero1312]

"I love you just the way you are." To think that all Ruby needed was hearing her mother saying these words. And the final shot of Vacuo proves that Ruby's message from volume 8 was heard. There are Airships from Mistral, Vacuo, some survivors from Atlas, even Vale in addition to Amity Colosseum. Ruby united the world against Salem.

[@jeffreysmith236]

Almost. The power of the call lies in Ruby checking out many different identities, feeling their burdens, feeling lost, and THEN the call from her own weapon was a tremendous relief, she was desperate to hear it.

[@bumblebeeyellowdragon]

This Volume only being 10 episodes reminds me of the early days of RWBY when they had limited resources but still managed to create an amazing experience.

[@josephcola9662]

Something I noticed about the smithy was that the wooden carvings on the table all represent someone the Tree made. Yet the single outlier there is a pink crystal. If you pay attention as the screen whites out with Ruby leaving to Vacuo, you can see the Blacksmith reach for it, to start working on it. That crystal is absolutely representative of Neo, and considering that the Tree can send people to *when* they are needed (V9 has been 3-4 days at the absolute most in the Ever After, yet for Amity to be repaired and in the skies above Vacuo at the end, either weeks or even *months* have passed on Remnant), time in the Ever After clearly doesn't have to match Remnant at all. So when we consider that the Tree is getting to work on Neo's Ascension literally seconds after RWBYJ left, we might be seeing Neo again sooner than we think.

[@MinisterEvil]

20:05 Now we need a "The Adventures of Somewhat and Juniper" spin-off... and Neo can join them once in awhile.

[@willwheatly6665]

I had that exact same thought on my second rewatch of this episode a few hours ago YES!!

[@jstaysclassy]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who thinks this

[@jayburn00]

They would have some zany adventures and get up to great shenanigans.

It ll always melt my heart how much of Somewhat (little new life) appereance is based on Ruby! also, found your channel during this volume and its has been a great time to see your reaction and thoughts throught out the vol! Hope to see more in general!

[@ImStrange_]

We made it! Glad we could join your journey this volume :)

[@ave_r_ie]

Dude you’re one of the rwby creators I’ve followed for YEARS!

@@ImStrange_thank you for doing what you do too!

[@mikeg1174]

Have to say that you’re one of the better commentators for RWBY since you express yourself so honestly. That’s a sign of bravery and strength. Just subscribed to the channel.

Volume 9 came for our emotions with a vengeance I love that the highest existence in the rwby world is the god of therapy XD

[@robikkupegasus7039]

I hope they find something to put Somewhat and Junpier in as a spinoff...they're too adorably marketable to just leave behind!

[@ScratchJoe]

I did not think I'd care much for Little that much but damn that little rodent grew on me. Somewhat of a champion now.

[@kieranstander921]

To me,this show is everything. I discovered it in January or February last year and I originally didn't wanna give it a shot cause I saw the animation of the first episode and I noped out immediately. Later on,I decided to give it a chance and I've never looked back. I've enjoyed every second of it and I enjoy it more and more as it goes on. This show means everything to me because I discovered it when I reaally needed it and I've grown attached to the characters. I nearly cried a lot of times and it's been a wild ride. I can barely wait for more. Edit: hell,it may sound odd but there are times I genuinely listen to the "I may fall" track when I need the courage and will to do certain things. It means so much to me and I'm glad to hear it means this much to atleast 1 other person

[@knightangel2190]

Great reaction! Also I have a crazy theory that I only just realized from watching your reaction. We saw Summer reading the everafter before she left. What if during her final mission she at some point was transported to the everafter and some point will appear during the final fight with Salem. Now hear me out the reason I think this is that 1: only a small portion of the everafter was explored meaning there are other parts that weren’t ( summer may have been in those other parts) or 2: The blacksmith told team RWBY it isn’t where the are going but when they are needs most. This leaves the plausibility that summer could reappear but only when she’s need most.( we’ve already seen this volume deal with going back in time or reverting peoples age) so it’s not impossible for something weird like that to happen with Summer)

[@Mirality]

Caution: this gets dark. It's also not my own idea but cobbled together from various thoughts from others. The most plausible scenario I currently have, now that we know Raven went along, is that Summer did defeat Salem, but then she came back (which is how Raven knows about Salem's invulnerability). And then (this is the really dark part) Salem turned Summer into the first Hound (as Ruby guessed), and Raven was forced to kill her.

[@MinisterEvil]

Have I told you that you're GOOOOOOOD singer???? well... ignore me. That was a major understatement when I said that.

[@RatedR4Ruby]

"I love you just the way you are",how i wish i could hear these words from MY mom😢,it hit even harder for me cause i named myself after ruby,but no matters how often she makes me cry,i choose to keep moving forward😊

[@catchingbird1]

It's weird how people were expecting Ruby to change into "someone else"

[@milferdjones2573]

It fun to speculate. As a over 50 year consumer of media I have not seen a main character eliminated which is changing into someone else permanent except when a live actor left the show at this point in a story. A fake main killed early or main killed in final climax or after it yes I seen it otherwise no. Exceptions the anyone can die ensemble dramas Game of Thrones for example. Declared before the start Tragedy which are rare. Thus based on experience I thought her actually losing her memories and personality, Death as Neo correctly assumed extremely unlikely. A temporary change into Summer possible but nothing permanent. Characters dying or leaving the show effectively often permanently loses some of the audience this is one reason you don't se that many deaths unless the audience knows from the beginning anyone can die or it's a Tragedy which is why Shakespeare advertised his Tragedy as Tragedy. Still if like me with Attack on Titan you remove all the characters I really like you lose me which they did. Double as I hated Erin and the cool characters were single note low personalities. That fairly rare I like tragedy and anyone can die stories normally.

[@falconOS]

@@milferdjones2573 Does Doctor Who count as "when a live actor left the show"?

[@nathanclarke2777]

I am so freaking happy that you found RWBY and are able to be in this great family! We love you and are happy that you are here! Also I found Rooster teeth during the first season of Red vs Blue due to KZbin saying I might like it cause I had watched everything Monty had posted at the time! So I found RT due to Monty and years later he started working at RT and I was so hyped! Then they made this! and it is just amazing!

[@ave_r_ie]

I’ve been a RWBY fan since the red trailer, I just haven’t been vocal in the fandom until now, and now that I am I’m so happy that I made the decision to be!

[@nathanclarke2777]

@@ave_r_ie someone else who’s been here since the Red Trailer! I saw that trailer right after Season 10 of RvB. We were told to look out for a surprise at the end. The surprise was this world Monty made for us.

[@ave_r_ie]

@@RatedDForDerp KZbin recommended the red trailer to me in November 2012, 10 year old me had her mind blown

[@RatedDForDerp]

@@ave_r_ie Yeah, Monty really had that effect on people, of all ages. 🥺 I’m not surprised 10 year old you had her mind blown! 17 year old me had his mind blown too! 🤯 I just randomly stumbled upon your work here today looking up reactions to the latter half of the volume where it gets V3 levels of heavy. I love that your channel has found growth and a place amongst the community. 🤍 I know this is going on quite long 😅 but I know you stated how much Ruby’s personal journey this volume was a real mirror to you and others have already shared this sentiment but I’d like to say it too. Just keep going. 💕 life can really really beat us, all in our own ways, but the common thread is struggle. We can all see it in one another, the pain in the eyes that one who knows the struggle can see. But tomorrow the sun will rise and you can meet the next day with a fresh face and a fresh start. What you do is enough, like you, you’re here for a reason. Cliche I know I know, but the people that love you wouldn’t trade your place in the world for anything. You are so strong. More powerful than you may be able to see at times. 6 years of therapy proves that. The act of seeking help and sticking with it. That’s strength. I just wanted you to hear (see) those words, because we all deserve to know we have value. Keep going, keep growing. 💪

[@MasterChief11700]

Your words of love for the show, i feel are perfect to summarize how the whole fandom feels.

[@thetuftedpuffin1025]

What gets me about that final shot is the mix of Vale, Atlas, and Mistral ships, as well as the Amity Coliseum all together on the horizon - Ruby's call to arms worked. The people of Remnant heard her and came together, just in time. Their crazy plan WORKED. Atlas the city was lost yes, but countless lives were saved. They couldn't save everyone but every life they did save was worth the struggle.

[@BlaireRabbit1440]

This was so much fun! Thank you for such a wonderful time! The hiatus is upon us, but hopefully we wont have to wait too long! C'mon Volume 10!

Understand how RWBY has shaped your life and personality. For me it was Star Trek (the original crew) when I was growing up. The stories that humanity will overcome our hate and distrust of others to create a better future for all made me who I am today. Yea, born in ‘62 and anime fan since ‘85. RWBY fan since day one when I saw the first episode (didn’t see the color trailers until much later). You’re on the correct path, just like Ruby discovered in Volume 9, “you are good enough just as you are.” P.S. Your Ruby voice is awesome and spot on! I am highly impressed. Have a a great day.

[@VergilArcanis]

i won't deny the fact the music for this episode gave me multiple rounds of goosebumps

[@joellevanderheijden9559]

I have never watched any of your videos before, 1. I ADORE your cosplay 2. I ADORE your voice! so good! 3. Your genuine reactions to this episode are really wonderful!

[@GraveDigger35]

9:50 So, some theories of mine of what probably happened to Summer Seeing as this probably was a Salem suicide mission and they likely faced a crap ton of Grimm 1. Raven's dust blade broke(Or however that thing works), and she made a new one as she was picking out her next target, and as she did and went to go slash at it, Summer came in last second and got the target not knowing Raven was there and Raven slashed and killed her by accident (So a Ruby/Weiss Vs Beowolf pack V1 moment) 2. They got out numbered and Raven used her semblance so Qrow could swoop in via portal and save Raven, not knowing Summer was with her, as he thought it was her and their clan and when Qrow was able to transform back to human, he had notice Summer, but it was took late. This was also Raven showing she had a "Save you only once" clause for everyone on her team and Yang and Summer had used hers some other time 3. Summer got fatally wounded and Raven could've saved her by using her semblance to get a portal out of there, but Summer did a Penny and told Raven to leave her as Raven's time to escape was running out 4. Salem captured them both and she forced Raven to watch as she killed Summer and turn her into a Grimm (If Ruby's assumption from V8 turn out to be true) which is why Raven is so distant from Tai, Yang and Ruby, because she doesn't want to tell them what she saw

[@TheYokoloko]

After finishing volume 9 I found your videos and was just in love with your genuine reactions and enthusiasm for the show. I would watch a video when I come home from work and I was especially looking forward to this reaction, seeing how much Ruby meant to you. I would cry along with you because it was just so wonderful seeing someone so touched by this story. Thank you for reminding me why I love RWBY and for sharing these amazing videos 🔥

[@bumblebeeyellowdragon]

*Spoilers present in this comment do not read if you haven't seen the finale yet* I don't know what to say about the episode itself. It went in every way I predicted it would (or did I have inside knowledge? Dun dun dun). I predicted back in Volume 8 that the rallying cry Ruby made with Amity would unite the world since it panned to everyone. The constant references to Summer made it obvious she was going to show up at some point and the scene with Herb when RWBY was facing themselves made me know this was the arc where Ruby would face her personal challenges just like Yang and Blake and Weiss did in earlier volumes. Based on the way this ends it would not surprise me if Volume 10 concluded the series since almost all major plot points other then dealing with Salem have basically been covered now. They could make more then one more Volume but I worry about the show dragging on for too long and losing it's value if it just fills time for the sake of it (which CRWBY never have done up til now so I don't expect they will).

[@sasorioftheredsand4348]

Summer maiden and two more realics maybe Volume 11

[@bumblebeeyellowdragon]

​@@sasorioftheredsand4348 Summer Maiden and Sword of Destruction are both at Vacuo. So it only leaves the last one which I doubt they'd make an entire volume for.

[@raggarbergman]

@@bumblebeeyellowdragon A she seem knowledgeble, it wouldn't surprise me if Ozpin hid the crown inside Glynda similar to the stones inThe Fifth Element. And yeah I remember the Buffy finale. That last season at least for me felt a bit rushed like both the actors and the crew just wanted it to be done.

[@bumblebeeyellowdragon]

@@raggarbergman I'd prefer it not rushed but honestly I'd take a rushed final season over a Dragon Ball Z where they just pad out time to extend the seasons on and on until it's no longer even fun to watch.

[@raggarbergman]

@@bumblebeeyellowdragon I understand. In Buffy's last season they made some questionable decisions just for the final battle to make sense.

[@Hybrid980]

Thank you so much for your reactions to this episode and this volume, your empathy and compassion is so present during your reactions and I freaking love that. I would LOVE if you ever decided to do more reactions to things(obviously totally up to you) but either way look forward to your reactions to Vol 10 if it gets greenlit.

[@ave_r_ie]

More reactions are coming soon! I have a series prerecorded from last year!

[@milferdjones2573]

I near certain it will be green lit. They don't order a second run of print comic Crossover and a two part Crossover movie for a show on the bubble about to be canceled. They did work out this Crunchyroll deal which is Sony not Warner Brothers so they have to hash out a broadcasting deal. But even if they cannot that does not mean RWBY over it just means it gets put back on Rooster Teeth or another anime or comic outfit.

Your reaction is just a joy to watch for this Volume, definitely would recommend! Honestly this really helped me a lot, If Ruby can overcome her struggles, so can you cause YOU ARE ENOUGH!

[@kristophersy773]

Yay Ruby is back!! I think Neo's purpose is going to be both what the Cats and Jabberwalks purposes

[@GraveDigger35]

Plot twist: The tree allows the Cat to come back as it deemed its death a Neo kill and not a Jabberwalker kill

[@milferdjones2573]

Tree saying nothing is truly lost everything can be restored was a major clue that Tree/Blacksmith was the higher level God. The Tree could break the Jabberwalker rule either way or send the cat to another world like the souls we saw flow past. It the fact that to her no one ever actually dies though and they go into next life with any emotional baggage removed even if it remembered dispassionately that makes her willing to let her children do stuff like kill off their first human race as a part of their learning experience. Ever heard something along the line that God can't be Good and all powerful? Took me a few decades to realize that just a straw man argument as it sets up a God but denies an afterlife and claims current life most important instead of the illusion status religion assigns. But Religion claims Gods and a afterlife thus totally changes the argument. Thus from many religions point of view this life a computer simulation something you practice on and when it over the emotions fade away after all the scaring to the brain goes away when that brain is no more. Thus like the Blacksmith occasionally a tad of help sending RWBY back to where needed but otherwise content to let stuff play out as the Tree/Blacksmith considers what the living think vital not that important.

[@justagamingchannel2706]

itz crazy to think that ruby rose is reacting to herself in the ever after. that's insane. Ruby seeing little again was probably the best scene for me. to think from the start of the volume little questioned Ruby what she was to which she didn't have a proper answer up until the finale. and since little accended she doesn't know what she really was so she asks Ruby because she knew what she was its just WOW imma cry for a sec. all in all were all proud of ruby for who she is cuz she was already enough for all of us. I was literally preparing myself to have a summer/ruby attitude change and look but I'm glad we didn't get that!

RWBY isn't done, not by a long shot. Keep the faith, I expect good news at RTX.

[@LocalMaple]

Fat Thor: You are still worthy. Broken Ruby: You are enough. The CRWBY have fixed their degradation since after volume 5. Every character got love and an arc, the journey/transition was more important than the big scenes, and nobody was pushed to the backdrop/had their moments taken over by RWBY. I hope they can see this feedback and response from the fandom, and make the final volumes equally uplifting and devastating. (I believe Monty left outlines for 12 volumes. I hope the final 3 are the Vacuo season, the Beacon Relic’s uncovery, and the Brothers’ Judgement Finale).

[@grumbledor9592]

The last two episodes remind me of the story of Odin going to yggdrasil, hanging himself on it and ending up gaining mystical knowlege. It represented new life after ragnorok, sorta like how this volume starts after a whole disaster. Ruby is Odin in this story and the tree is just straight up THE WORLD TREE from the story.

As ive just now found your channel, im too late to make a submission, but i would like to leave a message of what RWBY means to me. As like you, ive been a fan since the early days. I started watching while the tail end of volume 2 was being released, and this show captivated me beyond what i couldve originally expected. I watched it evolve, grow, change and deepen in so many beautiful ways, i waited, year and year, for each volume, and eqch steals my heart in such a way i continue rewatching throughout the remainder of the year until the next volume. I cant name a single show that has been able to snatch my soul quite like rwby has. As ive grown alongside the show, i remember getting home on friday night after school in elementary school and waiting eagerly for saturday morning, to catch the next episode. I remember my audible screams at PvP, PvC, YvA, my parents yelling at me to quiet down. I remember getting to see adam get both ends of blakes sword, and screaming "LETS GOOOOOO!!!" This beautiful show has been with me through thick and thin, and to me... it means hope. Hope for a better future. Always remember, Victory, is in a simple soul. GREENLIGHT VOL 10 i will deadass riot.

[@alexander.tahtadjian]

This was an outstanding episode and like you said was one of the best finales RWBY has had thus far. Plus I saw four things that I was happy about: 1. OG Ruby returned 2. More insight on Summer and her last mission. Plus more Summer Rose 3. More lore dropped about the Brothers and how the tree is the center of the RWBY universe 4. Just more of The Blacksmith because she was one of my personal favourite characters from this volume as well as the RWBY franchise in general because she's that type a character I love; one surrounded in mysteries yet can act as a guide and give some words of wisdom when needed. I'm convinced that the tree in the Ever After is a reference to the Tree of Ygdrassil and that could lead to possibly more worlds existing in their universe. Only time will tell if we will learn more on what happens with that. This was an outstanding episode as well as a perfect end for this Volume and I can't wait to see what happens in Volume 10. P.s. it was so nice to hear "Red Like Roses" again...its my favourite song from the RWBY franchise.

[@Emerald-t7k]

I love rwby because like all my other favorite media's "it gives me personal feelings" I'm also a sucker for shows that care enough about the little details which gives so much to speculate on.

To be honest when I saw this episode to me it redeemed the whole season cuz ever since I saw episode 7 I was actually a little nervous to watch the last three episodes so I had one of my friends to watch them for me let me know the last three episodes will be good bad or okay

[@ave_r_ie]

After episode 8 I was TERRIFIED with how they would handle the end of Ruby’s arc. Ruby’s always been a comfort character for me so I was so happy when I saw they stuck the landing with this ending

[@SpookyAri]

​@@ave_r_ie Ep.8 really scared me. Re-watching it still makes me feel a certain way because it brings back some old scars my body still remembers even if my mental state moved past it. I was really scared that the ending was not going to be good enough, and having to be stuck with these thoughts for a week was pretty rough. I convinced myself that the ending HAD to be done perfectly. So once Ep. 9 came out I became hopeful, and when Ep. 10 came out it was indeed perfect. 💯👌

I learned about this show because a friend send me a clip of rubys first fight at the dust shop in episode 1. I don't usually watch any anime and I found it really cringe and weird. But after giving it a shot now Im here waiting for vol 10 xD

Love..and patience to see things through to the end. One brother wiped humanity out in an instant, and both of them abandoned their work because of one incident. The first act shows no love from darkness. The 2nd act shows no patience from either of them. They really were poor creators.

[@isaacortiz9915]

Omfg you make a gorgeous ruby your so freaking beautiful

[@Fionya]

Alyx is not the blacksmith. There is 0 evidence proving that. She literally talks about Alyx and how she left a part of herself behind. They were all talking about Alyx and her death. Nothing in this episode supports that theory. Loved the reaction besides that👍

[@vegvisir9276]

yeah she got stuck on the Blacksmith being Alyx in an earlier reaction....no idea how she came to that conclusion...

[@ave_r_ie]

The blacksmith had her knife, their hair shares a color scheme with her old outfit, Alyx stayed behind because she wanted to “fix” what she had broken, the blacksmiths job is to fix what is broken in the ever after, and Alyx didn’t die via Jabberwalker, meaning she did ascend

[@milferdjones2573]

@@ave_r_ie You were right at least in part you can take credit especially as it seams Blacksmith took part of her look. Part of Alyx merged with Blacksmith. But of course the Blacksmith existed way before Alyx even talked with Alyx when alive. But Blacksmith stated Alyx only left part of her behind so the main of her has moved on to her next life. And now that Alyx has given to Jaune what she thought she must the rest of her might move on but the Blacksmith might still retain part of her look. Alyx change of heart after being such a bad girl must have really impressed the Blacksmith after all having all her children grow including the creations of her minor Gods improve is her goal.

[@dragonrune6800]

@@ave_r_ie As for Alyx's death, she is not an Afteran. The Jabberwalker doesn't count; Alyx died, no ascension. The same goes for the Curious Cat. He died via Neo, not the Jabberwalker. He can ascend. As always, I liked your reactions to this episode and the Volume as a whole.

[@ave_r_ie]

@@dragonrune6800 ruby and neo aren’t afteran either and can still ascend And even if CC could, I don’t think the blacksmith would let them

[@glennparker7028]

Nice Rudy costume

[@staying_silent]

When Ruby gave up her emblem, she said "it holds a mother's promise." When Summer left it behind, her promise was "I love you, just the way you are." Ruby only got the emblem back when she remembered that promise and truly _believed_ it. The first time I thought "people care about me" and actually believed it, I just broke down. So. Of all the little details of Ruby's ascension, I think that's my favourite.

[@Silias1989]

Thank you so much for your honest reaction to RWBY Vol. 9. Every week I waited for your Videos and was happy to watch them. I hope we see you in Vol. 10 again! One comment to Alyx. Why do you think the Blacksmith is Alyx? It does't make any sense to me. The Blacksmith is a representation of the tree and probably even created the brothers. And the cat themself said, that Alyx spoke with the tree and changed her mind and because of that she wanted to fix everything she broke. Because of that she left the knife behind. In this episode the blacksmith said herself, that Alyx left the weapon behind. I don't get it, why she should be the blacksmith? She has all sort of weapons, even summers weapon. Thanks for your Videos!

[@Silias1989]

By the way, your Ruby expressions are so adorable :D Love it.

[@milferdjones2573]

Half or more right Because Blacksmith had some things that seam similar to Alyx outfit. And she's half right Alyx as the Blacksmith stated did leave part of herself behind in the Blacksmith that came out to help Jaune. The half wrong being that when called the Tree the Blacksmith did not confirm that more she said something on the line of for working purposes I am. But no matter what the Blacksmith/Tree existed from the very beginning there was no need for a replacement. And you can tell by Blacksmith comment that she left part behind that her main soul had already moved on to the next life.

[@Silias1989]

@@milferdjones2573 Hmmmm thanks for the explanation. But it still seems to me, that at best it is just vaguely hinted. But thanks! :)

[@Silias1989]

@@ave_r_ie Thank you for answering. That sounds more convincing. It kinda feels right. But for me there are still some missing links in the end. Like, since when did the blacksmith exist? Was she there from the beginning? Thats at least what I thougt, because of the Statues of the brothers. Those are made by the Blacksmith in her Workshop. Although her wording in this episode could mean otherwise. But at least I now understand what the core correlation is here. Sounds interesting! Thanks! :)

[@hory-portier]

For me, the best episode of the whole RWBY was the end of the day when the Beacon fell and I realized that the whole show and all it's season up to that point... were just the end of the beginning. The introduction time was over, and the whole world is now open for countless new stories in that setup RWBY created. And then a second later the title of the episode drops... "The end of the beginning". btw. I think that Ruby cosplay really suits you. It works well with your face I think. Also, I enjoyed your reactions. Honest, expressive, and you didn't miss the little details that I'm not sure if I noticed the first time I saw this episode. I wonder how many volumes there are left to end the story. It feels like now that the character development is finished, we should at most get 3 more volumes for the conclusion, if they rush it, it would be just one final volume. I hope for two. With no more prolonging. I still feel bad for Sun. Blake and Yang getting together totally turns him into a dead weight in the show with no real ending... Feels bad. I wonder if it was a decision made under social pressure of recent years, a social statement, or if it really was what Monty had in mind... I just never noticed any hints for other possible story progressions for Sun than to be with Blake. And Yeng always felt like a best friend and not someone that interested in romance. A different type of love. I hope I just missed something and there is some alternative plotline for Sun, but I'm afraid they will just create something random in rush. We are finally getting close to the truth behind Summer's disappearance. I believe that the words "Guide my way" refers not to just finding a way in the tree in this season, but also to guide Ruby's way in the whole mission that took away Summer. Something as big as the first part of Red like roses directly mentioned butt show, never reached any explanation. Till this volume.
