Yang Xiao-Long Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah, but this is a special case. Amber isn't technically "dead" yet. Very true. Though, I do wonder what the possible consequences are if Pyrrha does go through with the procedure.Loss of self-identity, or two souls swapping in the same body are just a few things that could happen.

I saw someone saying it would be like Piccilo and Nail from DBZ Abridged. I know Rooster Teeth wouldn't do that, but I would crack up laughing if they did.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Safe to assume this is Emerald's semblance again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdom Xathers Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Or it could be one of Neo's tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 At this point, I'm starting to suspect that all the more "elaborate" illusions are in fact Cinder's stolen magic.This is very possible as well.And honestly, I wouldn't call it very similar. We have seen a decent amount of how Neo works, and it has a very, very clear aesthetic. This doesn't match that. And I would argue that mental tricks fit Emerald perfectly. Not Mercury, no, but Emerald is all about that stuff. Her persona toward the protagonists is almost saccharine, with all of her kind words feeling twisted to a knowing audience. This is further reinforced by her fighting style, as evidenced when fighting Coco. She toys with her enemy before sneaking in for the kill. Tl;dr Emerald is super twisted and sadistic, and this really feels like her kind of power. And, if Mercury really did get shot for this stunt, I wouldn't put it past her.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I am pretty sure we all assumed that already. Hell, we were calling the fake Yatsuhashi a hallucination, and this is pretty clearly the same thing. The real question is whether Mercury is actually injured.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I mean, his aura was totally depleted, so if he really was hit, his leg is pretty much funked. This means he won't be able to fight any time soon. Which... Is really frustrating, as the mid-season finale approaches. Since this was seemingly their plan, his leg could totally have been armored or something. Hell, given the nature of his fighting style, maybe they are always armored under his pants.

Yang Xiao-Long Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 The rather nasty crunch sounds pretty much guarantees a leg break, as his aura is shown to be depleted (hence why he lost that round).I think RT mentioned a few things that revolve around this particular incident though; one being Mercury's backstory, and the other being that he will be walking again next episode (because aura is OP).

Yang Xiao-Long Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 We got a new World of Remnant episode up on the Rooster Teeth site; this one's about the Cross-Continental Transmit System. I find it rather interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yang Xiao-Long Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Oh s***, we got some backstory! Oh man the weekend needs to get here faster; I NEED IT. That last shot with the woman in the cloak makes me wonder just who that is, though. Any speculations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 It was obviously Amber, hiding the top half of her face didn't make it any less apparent. It seems to me like we're gonna get to see Cinder's attack on her and how she stole her powers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the episode's starting to shape into something that holds Emerald and Mercury's backstory, to most likely learning Cinder's motives, to the attack on Amber and the subsequent power theft.

Cherz Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 The way her face is glowing when she confronts Merc reminds me of a forest fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I'm ok with us getting backstory for those characters, and if that preview is anything to go by it'll be a pretty good episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 [spoiler=Thoughts on Chapter 7]Even though it was primarily a flashback episode (I did say that I didn't mind this for reasons), I did enjoy it as it shed some light on some things, like how Cinder was able to get some of the Autumn maiden's power before Qrow "severed" the connection.Though it wasn't until I rewatched the episode that I realised some of the events (ie the meeting with Adam) took place before the events of the Black trailer.Another thing I found interesting was that it was shown that Emerald's semblance (creating hallucinations) has its limit as she had a headache after using her semblance on the two ambulance blokes so that they wouldn't see Mercury's prosthetic legs.

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 Lot of drama in this episode. Felt really bad for Pyrrha, she and Jaune are probably my favorite characters actually, so seeing that scene was nice and painful. I'm interested to see how her fight with Penny will go. Weird of me to point out, but Mignogna should do more roles where he speaks in a low growl like Qrow. It's a good voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 [spoiler=Thoughts on Vol 3 chapter 8]It'd be interesting how the Pyrrha/Penny fight will go considering Cinder had something to do with it. But yeah I also feel bad for Pyrrha with the stress she has been under recently (what with the Autumn maiden thing). Not surprised that Blake took longer than Weiss/Ruby to trust Yang given her past.

Shradow Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Well they all obviously have to be there for their evil schemes and whatnot. I'm wondering why he just walked out to meet Ruby, and if it was to stop her from snooping around, a simple locked door could've done the same. Or perhaps they want to get her out of the way or something, as the team leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
