Oscar: Uh... Ozpin... do you have to do the voices? Ozpin: ... Yes.

[@insertusernamehere3173]

Lol.

[@edgecruz4832]

Oscar, concider that he's the hermit. I think it's fitting.

[@lastnamefirstname8655]

ozpin: if possible, fully costuming myself would have been preferable. all is necessary in the tale of the four maidens.

[@DoctorWortspieler]

After seeing Volume 6, it's clear that the tale of the Four Maidens is the story of how Ozma picked himself up again after however long he spent in grief with the loss of his daughter and his fight with Salem.

[@darksythe2226]

That's the thing for me though Ozma couldn't be the wizard based off the storyline because the maidens were associated with each of the relics and the relics were already on the earth when Ozma was ressurected. There is something that has been bothering me about the story told to RWBY and the gang. Why did the dragons ressurect Ozma to fight Salem when she had clearly decided the world wasn't worth it and isolated herself? What is their obsession with him gathering the relics? I really don't think the dragons are what they say they are, because if they really were the creators of remnant than why did they refer to their creations as an experiment. More importantly after life on the planet was eliminated by them how did it spring back up again on its own? Bottom line is I think the dragons are evil and need the relics to establish true Dominion over the world of remnant.

[@DoctorWortspieler]

@@darksythe2226 I think that the Maidens only became associated with the Relics when Ozpin assigned them as keys to the Vaults. And Ozpin himself said in Volume 5 that he was the one who granted powers to four young women long ago, and since we haven't seen anything to contradict this, it's safe to assume he was telling the truth (after all, if it was a lie, wouldn't that have come out from Jinn because that would be included in the question, "What is Ozpin hiding from us?"). Ozma's mission was not to fight Salem; it was to reunite humanity, and guide them into a more peaceful society. Ozma sought out Salem because he wanted to be reunited with his lover, and revitalized by his presence, Salem in turn wanted to rule the world with her husband. Their... argument is what led to the war that is fought now. I'm pretty sure that the gathering the Relics is a symbolic gesture. As representing the foundations of the Brothers' creation of the world, gathering them together is the signal that humans are ready for the gods' return. I don't think there's a contradiction between "creation" and "experiment." The Brothers created the world and humans... as an experiment. I got nothing on how humans came back from extinction and where Faunus came from, though. Best I can figure, the Brothers laid down the foundation for humans to come back the long route (i.e., evolution). Personally, I don't think the Brothers are evil, or truly seek dominion over the world. We don't see any indication that they want to, and no implications that they are prevented from doing so; after all, Darkness was able to Thanos the entire population of Remnant. If he can do that, then wouldn't he be able to order humans to follow him or die? I think the Brothers just want things to go back to the way they were before the fall of humanity.

@@darksythe2226 The maidens are associated with the VAULTS to the Relics. They're not associated with the Relics themselves

[@Sterling_Qrow]

.....these ARE the kind of fairy tales most of us had as a kid.....this was a pretty basic Origin Story to explain the existance of the Seasons, only in RWBY the Maidens were ACTUAL people instead of just mythological explanations

Crysta Blade I don’t remember any of these types of stories as a kid. I remember being read the ginger bread man and a few princess stories.

@Jenny Villatoro They seem to release the last volume as they release the next one. When Volume 7 was being released, they released the corresponding episode of the previous volume on the same day. If we go by that again, Volume 7 will come out when Volume 8 does, which won't be until much later this year, and that's if Coronavirus hasn't messed up production in any way, since they probably can't go to the studio to do any work for it at the moment.

[@leastlikelysuspect5122]

Taiyang Xiao Long I feel like Magic is bound to something that is living, though dust has some properties of magic. Penny is 100% Synthetic, but using Pietro’s Aura. So most people assume she has no soul. But now with the Maiden Powers bound to her being, she’s becoming her own Women/Android

[@shionlen646]

@@leastlikelysuspect5122 Penny's Aura is male and she herself is mechanical how tf does magic accept her?

Just because she thinks herself to be a woman does not mean she is she is man made and magic is natural she should not and cant have magic unless they retcon it again.

[@railimarotto2561]

This is so sweet and sad. After watching the events of season 6 and learning that ozma had 4 daughters and to be taken away by his once loving wife, he must have absolutely destroyed him. During one of his reincarnation, these sisters came to his home, and it reminded him so much of his daughters.

Ironically, by bestowing the sisters with these magical gifts, he unintentionally painted targets on their backs. He completely forgot to put safeguards on the powers to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

Spring is like "yeah im in your garden planting seeds and such. You dont like it, come outside and make me old man".

They all carry characteristics similar to the original maidens and of his daughters.

[@CABRALFAN27]

@@jeremyjones9467 Eh, debatable. I personally think, after the low point of Volume 5, the show has been getting better and better, to the point where this current Volume could surpass even Volume 3. I do think a lot of what what made Volumes 4 and especially 5 so weak, though, was the focus on extra stuff; Volume 4 had _eight_ WoRs and a character short (In addition to being weighed down by the shift to Maya and the change in story setting), and Volume 5 had no less than _three_ fully-animated shorts, which had to have eaten _substantially_ into the budget, and it shows in the Battle of Haven. Volume 6, by contrast, only had the one character short, and that was only to alleviate complaints about Sienna, and get people hyped for Adam again after his poor showing in V5, while most of the focus and budget went into the Volume itself. Volume 7 does away with extra stuff entirely, focusing exclusively on the episodes themselves, and it shows, being my third and second favorite Volumes respectively, and if Volume 8 (Which, again, isn't doing any extra stuff) follows up well enough on the setup in V7, it could overtake even V3 as my absolute favorite.

[@thatonetemplar]

His daughters weren't the maidens - They were full magic users. The Maidens only have partial magic. At most, his daughters were the inspiration for the maidens, not the maidens themselves.

[@symonsan]

@@thatonetemplar Maybe, maybe not. I believe that they reincarnated into the maidens after being killed during the battle between Ozpin and Salem.

[@thatonetemplar]

@@symonsan It's not a matter of belief, lol. They died. Nothing at all suggests they're reincarnations, especially when there is zero of their original personalities involved. The Maiden fairy tale makes the most sense to be true. He gave out his power, hence why he's much weaker than he used to be - plus those OG maidens died and their power passed on and started the cycle. That's the idea that has the most evidence.

Honestly I'd be wondering WTF Salem was doing during that time. You'd think if she was unopposed she would have won. The only thing that makes sense is a 'Joker when Batman dies' situation.

So because everyone else seem to be confused: Penny: The only thing one needs to be a maiden is a young female aura as far as we know. And Penny has that. She’s a robot, and she got her aura’s start from Pietro but it’s clear that the implications are that Penny has her own soul. It seems like aura thus is more self determinant. Penny is a real girl, partially because she knows that she is. So, she can be a maiden.

So far more or less than half of the Fairy Tales of Remnant we've learned about have been revealed to be based on real events. Along with their happy and unhappy truths as RWBY progress's. First, the Silver Eye-Warriors in "End of the Beginning" where Qrow explains to Ruby about the legendary lineage both she and her mum (Summer) descend from. Second, "The Tale of the Two Brothers" in "A Much Needed Talk" where Qrow tells Ruby, Jaune, Ren and Nora about the existence of the Gods and how they created both humanity and the Grimm. Third, "The Story of The Seasons" in "Rest and Resolutions" where Ozpin reveals himself as the old hermit who gave a huge amount of his magic to the first Maidens. Fourth, "The Girl in The Tower" and the "White Witch in the Woods" where in "The Lost Fable", Djinn reveals to Team RWBY the origin of Salem and Ozpin, what happened to them and how the war between them started. Five, "The Girl Who Fell Through the World" where throughout the whole of Volume 9, Team RWBY learn bit by bit the truth about Alyx, her death at the paws of the villainous Curious Cat, her brother Lewis, the Rusted Knight (Jaune) and the origins of the Gods. Ask yourselves, which fairy tales and their truths do you think will be revealed next when Volume 10 comes out?

[@Annie-wy5mc]

This is my favorite

[@theechosenone4471]

I hate that there are evil people like cinder that would use these kind girls good power for bad😢

[@punchyboi6915]

Welcome to any plot

[@SunnyyDayzz]

Anyone else think that at the end of the series Ruby,Wiess,Blake and Yang will become the maidens 🤔 Also I'm loving this little miny series that's going on aswell as Oz's little documentary

[@MrAnnoyingalien]

The writers already confirmed that they're not doing that. It would be too predictable and pandering to a fanbase would make a story bland and boring. Best to let the writers do what they want and leave us on the edge of our seats.

[@xolotltolox7626]

@@MrAnnoyingalien tell that to GoT fans

[@SunnyyDayzz]

@@MrAnnoyingalien guess your right that would be predictable but in sometime Yang is gonna be a maiden from Raven unless they don't take that path

You know Ozma should’ve put in better conditions for Maiden’s powers if they were to be stolen or was passed down to someone with evil in their hearts. If he could.

[@IdentityChrist]

Actually, maiden conditions are perfect if you think about it. Ozpin already made the mistake of judging who is good and who is evil once. Another important thing is that since he doesn't trust his own judgement, he cannot wield his massive power again. Finally, Salem is also absolutely out of the question to be a recipient for the powers. In the end he created a system where neither him nor Salem could ever get the powers (Ozpin can never become a woman and Salem can never become young). By making that only young women can inherit these powers, it already weeds out a lot of bad people (the show is filled with young women and only two could ever be described as evil), but is still neutral enough so that even if Oz's judgement is ever clouded, he can't decide who gets the power or not. Finally, the last young woman in your thoughts is also a pretty good clause - selfless people are likely to think of their children in their final thoughts. All in all, it feels like Ozma really thought this through.

[@BlackFox9765]

Kibernetik It’s too bad that Ozpin can’t take the maiden’s powers considering they were his too begin with.

[@elpopman2055]

@@IdentityChrist I think your argument is a bit off considering he Could limit maiden to those that only possess A righteous heart and add more restriction where the Power is morely likely to leave them if they are consistent in using the power for selfish reasons.... Besides Salem Already Fond a Way To Steal the Maiden power.. Opzin Should of made a restriction the counter those that want To Steal Maiden power. the writers clearly Gave Opzin the Idiot ball on this.. Also the problem is that he gave away too much of his power in the first place. He literally got killed by an Novice Maiden.😂😂😂 despite the fact that he Have combined Aura Reserves of his Many of his incarnations.😂😂😂 And Thousands of Years of Combat experience.. it's clear that RWBY have Crappy and Inconsistent in power Scaling.. I mean I even introduced the concept of a fully-realized maiden. Lol.. Why Is Raven not a Fully Realized Maiden?

[@jennis8529]

I'm really like this story.

[@kbarts316]

Here’s my headcanon: The original maidens are the reincarnation of Ozpin’s children. :3

[@twinodoom]

How much of this story do you think is true? How much of this story do we know aren't lies?

AKA How Ozpin's faith in humanity was restored and his depression was cured.

[@carlhayden3610]

So does anyone else think that this story is going to be very relevant for volume 9? As in that Team RWBY got dropped into the past/hidden place and become the original maidens? Weiss is Winter (personality) Ruby is Spring (personality) Yang is Summer (posture) Blake is Fall (compare her hair) Though I have no idea how Neo and Jaune will fit here… plus all the random people cinder blew off the walkway…

[@TheAwesomeHyperon]

I’m calling it, Team RWBY will be the Maidens at some point. I mean, there’s four of them, and they look remarkably similar to them.
