at the bandit camp is what made me suspicious. The fact that Raven wore her mask during the confrontation with Cinder and Co. Go back and watch through Volume 5 again you’ll kick yourself for not seeing the signs.
Not only did it succeed in taking the vast majority of the audience by surprise, but it did so without coming out of left field. This was a well-executed plot twist on Rooster Teeth’s part.
I totally called that Raven would be the Spring Maiden, but I’m pretty sure I’m one of a very few people who did, because the RWBY fandom’s collective mind exploded onto the comment section when Raven removed her mask to reveal magical-flaring-maiden eyes. Also, Sun’s gunchucks finally made a reappearance. Raven vs Cinder had some questionable stuff, but at least there I can chalk up some of the physic-breaking to magical powers. Yang’s fight with the bandits is a nice little action piece and a good example of the return to cause-and-effect, physics-driven combat. No more Nora flying in spirally circles for unknown reasons, thank God, and for that I’m grateful. Thank you, thank you RT for introducing physics back into your fight scenes.

That’s my huge pro for the fights this season. Now, I’ve designated this as a con and pro because while the fight scenes are still a far cry from Monty’s Poser masterpieces, they have improved immensely from Volume 4’s nonsensical battles devoid of any kind of established physics. The fights have been lackluster since 1) the death of Monty Oum, 2) the departure of Shane Newville from Rooster Teeth, and 3) the switch from Poser to Maya. Great action is a bonus for me, not an essential part of a solid story, but RWBY has capitalized off of some incredible action in the past. Action is not why I watch RWBY, which you know from my Volume 4 analysis.

Guys – ugh, I don’t know how to say this – the fights are just…kind of…lame now. The genuine symbol of facing your fears, of true courage. Raven is the false face of courage and strength, a façade of bravery covering a selfish heart. Raven is a pale imitation, a broken, hypocritical mockery of Yang. But at the conclusion of Volume 5, we see that Raven – who Yang has always longed for and felt a certain connection to because of the aforementioned similarities – is not like Yang at all. She’s the indomitable firecracker everyone sees Raven in her that way. Yang is told throughout the preceding seasons that she is like her mother. What symbolism! What revelation! What good storytelling! I think it was overlooked by a large number of RWBY viewers, but the contrast of Raven and Yang in the final scene was fantastic. While I do have a lot of issues with the ending of the volume, RT managed to bring Yang’s arc to a poignant and powerful conclusion in her verbal standoff with Raven. Still struggling with PTSD and deep-seated abandonment issues, Yang comes through – again – as both a role-model and a stellar character. Her character arcs each volume have been among the few done consistently well. It’s going to work much better in the long run. As it is, I’m glad RT has pulled all the disparate storylines back together. If RT ever decides to expand its volumes to 6 hours with 30-to-60-minute episodes, maybe RWBY could swing such a change. That is not the case for a show like RWBY, where we have roughly three to four hours per volume released in 15-to-30-minute segments. I have no problem with this if ample time is allowed for something of such magnitude. One of my biggest complaints with Volume 4 was that RT tried to change RWBY into a show with multiple, world-spanning plotlines.

It’s a free country.īoy, am I ever happy to have all the storylines coming back together. In that case, keep sucking the joy out of good stories, ya freak. Unless you’re one of those weirdos who enjoy knowing what’s going to happen. OBLIGATORY SPOILER WARNING – Don’t continue reading if you’ve not watched RWBY Volumes 1-5. The following post consists of all the pros and cons I felt made an impact on the Volume 5’s overall quality. RWBY and RoosterTeeth (the small entertainment studio who produces it) are awesome. If you’ve read my Volume 4 analysis, you already know how I feel about RWBY. RWBY Volume 5 is over, which is the que for me to either cry with joy because we have another season to enjoy in its entirety or weep because I have to wait another who-knows-how-many months for RWBY to start up again.
