Is blonde dude just going to use his plain sword and shield for the entire series? I've got a feeling that he'll be the first to die and show everyone how dire the situation is or something.
Spoiler:
oh no I am a terrible person

for some reason I prefer calling the series "rr-wubby". It's probably a me thing.

ACTUALLY...

Rwby's main main main character is Ruby.

And no, you're not the only one calling the series like that.

Sword and Shield is legit in Monster Hunter, he'll be fighting against monsters, no?

Jaune's idealistic personality will be shattered during the course of the conflict and his (former) friends must remind him how he used to be this dorky teenager with brimming smiles.

Well actually looking over the episode it looks like Weiss is forcefully allying herself with Ruby because she doesn't have much choice. Also Pyhrra's way of landing is badass as all hell.

I'm curious to see how they justify the whole thing about picking the first team member.

Spoiler:
I, really have to call fowl on Ruby's landing. This scyth is expected to cut through much worse things then wood with much less speed then is gained by an areal faith plate. Yet here it is a grappling hook. Sorry, not buying it.
I see why Yang put on the aviators, why bother landing?
So Pyhrra actually did like Jaune and wasn't just trying to let him off easy. Ok.

Maybe the scythe isn't sharp at the base of the blade?

Maybe, she does also stand on that part of the scythe in the trailer. However, she was also moving fast. I dunno, it just doesn't look right to me.

It's not sharp at the base, no, and most of the time in the Red trailer she actually didn't really cut anything cleanly without a bullet for added oomph.

Find myself wishing the episode weren't so short, felt like it stopped at a bad time for me.

Maybe she used the base of the weapon where there isn't a blade at. Though I do like the idea of a weapon that doesn't kill unless she wants it to.

HOLD YOUR HORSES. I GOT THIS.

The scythe has two parts.
The Scythe has a small, jagged blade at the bottom of the shaft.
The other is the 3-dimensional curvature.




Also let's not forget this is a gun-scythe that has the ability to transform to two modes. So everything about it is flexible, and has movable parts.



(and I would love if they gave a more in-depth info about their weapons).

@Firestorm29, with a weapon like that, I almost want her to have to live with the burden of responsibility for a weapon that kills indiscriminately. Oooo That might be a really cool plot point to separate herself from her "I fan girl over my weapon" thing (not that it necessarily needs to happen, just that she needs to get closer to people). Have her to mess up at some point, and maul a bystander so that she has to deal with the idea of "Holy shit, who thought it'd be a good idea to give this to me".
Eh, I guess a hesitance to use over the top weapons really isn't way people are watching this show.

@En: I am Sniper Scythe guy, and THIS, is my weapon. She weighs 150 kilograms and fires $200 custom-tooled cartridges at 10,000 rounds per minute. It cost $400,000 to fire this weapon...for 12 seconds.
A set of "Meet the weapon" videos would be pretty cool though.

Also, everything that is gray on the scythe looks like its a cutting surface.

Well, if we think about this based on real swords, and blades. There's no such thing as a painted blade now is there?
The only part that looks like a blade is the one at the end of the scythe. Since it has a metallic color, it's made from steel(or presumably alloy, like carbon steel, or damascus steel. Since it's advance, it's not likely they'll just use ordinary metallurgy.).

Also isn't 150kg a tad bit too much? I mean, I've been going to the gym, and can barely bench press 200 lbs weights(around 100kg). Then again...fiction and fantasy. :V

You know, it would be great if the series actually had any action in it soon, after all, it seems that's what it should be best at. I thought this episode will finally have some, but nope.

I bet all the Dota 2 invites in my inventory that there will be action in the next episode. If not, I will walk over to RT HQ (Yes, Edinburgh to Austin.) and ask Monty a legitimate question about why episodes are so short and hope for a good answer.

Aura, how convenient for Jaune. I was hoping he would be the normal guy who would man up with his archaic weapon.

Meanwhile someone make an Equilibrium crossover with Lie Ren.

New episode out. Dammit Jaune, the pointers were as bright as day. I think Pyrrha will eventually run out of patience.
