Can we download from here?

Try the link I posted after kkck's first comment. This one, and not sure about downloads but I'm sure you can only stream for now:
https://www.animepace.si/anime/rwby-volume-5/episode-11
Btw @kkck Check this out:

Spoiler: Spoiler

Another thing, why do the schenee inherit their semblances? Isn't that... Magic like? I wonder if they are related in some way to the winter maidens... Perhaps the original winter maiden?

Spoiler: Spoiler

This idea is actually one I really would like. What are the chances of Weiss being saved via awakening Maiden Powers? Out of all the girls in the main character group, we know that at least one of them will become a Maiden. It's obviously not Ruby because she already has the Silver Eyes shenanigans.
I honestly wouldn't mind it being Weiss.

Lol, at least i am not the only one who hatea raven. Though my issues with her are slightly different, my main issue is that she makes no sense whatsoever. And that on top of her being a disloyal unloving waste of a human being. I see no endgame for anything she is doing.

Dunno, so far it doesn't seem like awakening maiden powers make sense. They are passed on from person to person after all.

Another thing, the moon this episode was different maybe i missed it in other episodes but this is the first time i have noticed the moon has changed its angle. I wonder if this is significant....

Best Episode of this volume

Spoiler

I really liked how the fight went.

Raven is going to die and I feel even Qrow may.

Was really hoping Ruby using her Silver eyes but sadly we only saw part of it though if was enough to bring Cinder to her knees.

Jayne's reaction was logical in his situation..


I fear most for Weiss now.I am pretty sure she won't die but how she will survive remains to be seen.

I feel Blake and other Faunus is going to arrive soon.

That being g said is Leonhart a Faunus?He seems to have a Tail.


Anyway can't wait for the next Episode.

Alright Spoiler Alert

<< My opinion on 70 + % of fanbase ​

First of all, I'm happy that episode confirmed what I was thinking about and what we have told earlier that Haven is absolutely defenceless..
At the point when :
- Students and teachers are not here
- Soldiers are not here
- Hunstmans is missing

Qrow and Ozpin shouldn't just be suspicious that something is wrong they should be certain of it and take some actions to fix that meanwhile, they do nothing for 1 month including even providing information : Nora was still surprised that Raven can turn into bird which just means that no one ( Ruby, Jaune, Ren, Nora ) didn't dig that further for confirmation what has been told to them..

Speaking of Qrow if he knew something is not right and it may be an ambush why is he bringing everyone with him he would easily escape if he would go alone + His semblance won't help overall situation IMO it already kicked two times :

- Ruby gun shots at Weiss when she lost balance
- Weiss hitting pilar

Also why Qrow was with everyone all this time despite his semblance didn't he mention earlier that the reason he doesn't keep that much touch with family/ friends is because of his Semblance..

I love how Qrow shots Raven the moment Yang sees her and also I loved how Qrow wanted to calm down everyone because he knew that they stand no chances here.

Even if I despise Raven actions with passion ( I wonder when she and Vernal will start they part of the plan ) Qrow was planning something similar tbh he was going to attack Raven and her tribe ( But tbh Bandits deserve that I will agree )

I didn't like how RWY was fighting ( Blake holding back was looking better than them ) : Weiss becomes one trick with only thing she tries is to run away and summon or Yang isn't pissed at all despite what going on ( Raven etc. ) well I'm pretty sure Yang will go wild in the next chapter(s) but it will not end up well for her I think..

Weiss will be fine there's no doubt about it I will stick to my opinion that the only ones that can die from RWBY are Yang and Ruby and even that will be at the end of the story.. Even so, she will be healed fast by " Miracle " or she will go into coma based on what character she's based on ( If anyone is going to die here is Qrow )

On Jaune semblance that will probably kick in soon I want it to be something useful that will help them to overcome that situation but I don't wanna it be something broken that will auto win them that fight ( or he will be able to fight Cinder ) that would just take any tension from the rest of the story for me ( We already have Silver Eyes )

I want to for them to overcome this situation with every aspect that Salem group is unaware of :
- Jaune Semblance
- Ozpin doing something awesome
- Blake group
- Winter possible return ?:P

As much as I hate and despise Cinder and Adam that just means that they are pretty good Villians but at the same time they doing the really good job to make Watts and Hazel very interesting.

Looks like we finally going to follow to opening song from this point on :

Also, I don't agree at all I don't mind Jaune be a center of this episode ( I was expecting more from Nora and Ren also ) they was the closest with Pyrrha sure and Jaune especially :
- He was a leader of the team Pyrrha was in
- He have failed during episode 11
- Pyrrha expressed her feelings towards him and he couldn't do anything to help her

I would love see more angier from Ruby ( but then it should apply for everyone ) but we saw how that all Pyrrha dead affected her already in this Vol. + we saw her reaction when she got Pyrrha flashback


@Emperor Spriggan it's nice that I'm not the only thinking of that :

^Try that link, its where I watched from.

Wait so you saying me that I don't have to pay to watch it sooner than others...

Doesn't matter RBY ( ) is not the only show I'm watching from RT and being able to tease you is worth it


Also, nope Cinder doesn't deserve Redemption but she won't die now either ( Her VA have contract for 8 volumes :P )

As far as RWY fighting goes, the only one who should be able to decently match their opponent is Yang imo (Mercury, she already beat him once and there's no indicator he's grown stronger than her). The others are all out of their leagues with their match ups. Especially Jaune-Cinder
Qrow vs Raven actually makes sense.
Why do you expect him to die though?

I think it's going to be a time related Semblance? Something that reverses the situation, sort of like Last Ages. Weiss right now :

Spoiler: Weiss currently

Jaune next episode

Spoiler: Spoiler

Actually, I can somewhat see the scenario for Qrow dying right now. Jaune uses his semblance, passes out. Cinder and the others notice the potential for his power and try snagging him up. Qrow jumps in the way to stop Cinder, Raven ends up backstabbing him (Cinder trying to kill two people would be a little too weird and misplaced, it would actually be the perfect trigger to make Yang completely resent her mother and set up the final showdown between these two). Then it follows into your prediction of Blake showing up when mother and daughter are fighting and also losing an arm

Wait so you saying me that I don't have to pay to watch it sooner than others...

I know the episode is out when you start teasing me

Yang beat mercury? I almost laughed at the idea. The way i have interpreted his and emeralds fights is that they haven't really been serious, at least against rwby and their friends. The way i see it mercury was not even close to serious against yang during the tournament. Now, I don't expect either of cinders disciples to be as strong as actual huntsmen but they are certainly above student. Heck, mercury didn't even go seriously against phirra and she was probably the strongest of her peers... It took him half a fight he halfed assed to see through phirras fighting style. The only reason phirra would win a fight against mercury is that the guy has magnetic legs and thus phirra can mostly cripple him with a thought.

 

[Arjuna]

@upsurge did once say.Team Cinder was holding back a lot against the children in the Beacon Academy.

 

[Hermit]

I mean, are we seriously going to have to admit that Mercury isn't serious in all his fights? I can get the Pyrrha example since they were in the school for the first time and trying to get a feel of the place, but Mercury has no reason at all to hold back on Yang. Even if we have to say that somehow Mercury was holding back, Yang didn't show everything she had to do in that fight. The Mercury argument goes two way here imo.

 

[kkck]

And weiss... Yeah, she was annoying this episodes. Her summon is without a doubt powerful, even a mere arm was able to cut that mecha thing like butter. The only other time one of those was dealt with easily was when oobleck threw a dog at them. However she should have realized that she couldn't possibly summon it given the conditions... She needs either to do it faster or a distraction. Of course, if she had summoned it completely it might have been very useful. But her priority should have been to stay alive.

 

[Vici]

Yang didn't show everything she had to do in that fight.

She was left with 1 hp...

I also think that Mercury wasn't serious the plan for this fight was him to lose so Yang will attack him later..If Mercury would win Yang wouldn't even be able to attack him at all

Mercury wasn't there to actually win the fight though. All he had to do was fake getting his leg shot. And didn't yang use her semblance? Her semblance means precisely that she is going all out and perhaps more. Mercury and emerald never had reason to go anywhere close to all out during any of their fights. I am not sure they were even all that serious in the tournament fights they actually had to win which speaks volumes of their power compared to the students.

 

[Hermit]

@Vici @kkck I'm not denying Mercury wasn't serious when he was fighting Yang in the tournament, and I fully understand he was supposed to lose. But how is that going to be a reasonable way of scaling him power wise? Cinder is obviously stronger than her subordinates (That's a given), but I think proper writing should have her subordinates (Emerald and Mercury), at least on the same level as the protagonists. If Mercury and Emerald are that overwhelmingly stronger than Yang, Ruby and Weiss then there should be no realistic means for them to get out of this situation, even if Blake and friends show up. Unless they go for a 2 on 1 scenario, and even then they don't have enough men.
Btw:

I got so annoyed when her summoning got cleaved in half

That is how i interpreted this whole thing tbh. Precisely with that level of being fucked. I mean, mercury and emerald were instrumental in taking down the previous fall maiden... Her training wasn't complete but damn, they were an asset to take down a literally magical being years before they even got to beacon.

 

[Vici]

Why do you expect him to die though?

He has always come it for him in my mind..

An important figurine for two main characters he could be a walking lore for our heroes but now when we have Ozpin with the team what does Qrow purpose is in the story ??


@Emperor Spriggan I can see Yang beat Mercury considering what happens for Weiss but at the same time, I can see her being quickly shut down by someone afterwards..

( Not Adam necessary but let's remember that After episode 2 of this Vol. we have been told that we will have even more reasons to Hate Adam )

I know the episode is out when you start teasing me

I'm teasing you earlier :P

Then it follows into your prediction of Blake showing up when mother and daughter are fighting and also losing an arm

Let's just stay at Blake jumping in at the crucial moment without cutting limbs or cat ears...

I think it's going to be a time related Semblance? Something that reverses the situation, sort of like Last Ages. Weiss right now :

But that's literally broken how can I look forward later for a fight if there are no stakes for good guys ??

Jaune can have broken Semblance but only if it will cost him a lot, either way, it's just adding another Ex Machina for a favour of good guys after Silver Eyes..



Also, fights like that Just show that RWBY and Jaune team aren't even close to pro Hunstman level all of they wins against stronger opponents was because of teamwork..

We already saw what happens when they split up ( Vol.2 Chapter 11 )

 

[kkck]

More than that, rwby and co have barely had any victories in the story. Ruby is the mc and even then she never defeated roman, a guy beneath proper huntsmen. Blake could take him and i am almost sure blake could have taken him back then. With Weiss i am skeptical tbh. In volume 2 they actually failed to stop the train and the only reason that there wasn't a bigger incident was that there were a bunch of other students around that could hold their ground until greenwhich showed up to rebuild stuff.

The story's mcs are not that strong in the grand scheme of things, their victories are usually the basically moral victories or "they barely survived" kinda victories and even that is only accomplished with a shit ton of team work and 2 shit tons of luck. Team rgnr was not even an asset against tyrion. There is no guarantee he could have won against tyrion on his own but it was rwbys fault he got poisoned. She barely made up for it when she mutilated tyrion...

Btw, what happened to neo? Did we ever see what happened to her when she fell of the ship?

( Not Adam necessary but let's remember that After episode 2 of this Vol. we have been told that we will have even more reasons to Hate Adam )

Being Ruby's father figure? Yang has Raven and Tai, both her parents are still alive and well for now. And Ruby lost Summer? Would losing Qrow really add anything to the story as far as Ruby's character development goes? The best I can see is her getting mastery over her Silver eyes, unless her Silver eyes have another form:

She already lost Penny as well, losing Qrow seriously won't add much into the story. Ruby also saw Pyrrha die in front of her, and while they werent especially that close she already knows what loss feels like.

( Not Adam necessary but let's remember that After episode 2 of this Vol. we have been told that we will have even more reasons to Hate Adam )

She gets shut down by Emerald, not Adam

I'm teasing you earlier :P

LOL I swear you're lucky I didnt read your messages yesterday before I had watched the episode

Let's just stay at Blake jumping in at the crucial moment without cutting limbs or cat ears...

It will happen

But that's literally broken how can I look forward later for a fight if there are no stakes for good guys ??

And a Healing Semblance isn't broken? You have to admit that either way Jaune's Semblance has to be something mind blowing enough to save Pyrrha, that or she freezes her wound or the spear missed her vitals.
You think I'm looking forward to Jaune's Semblance? I literally could not care less what happens to that blonde sidekick.

Btw, what happened to neo? Did we ever see what happened to her when she fell of the ship?

Nope
Kind of sucks, I think she has the best design out of all the characters in the series (Despite minimal to zero dialogue ), so I do wanna see more of her in the future. Hopefully she didn't die offscreen.

--- Double Post Merged, Dec 31, 2017 ---

 

[kkck]

Yeah, i guess the issue with neo is that she was with roman rather than cinder or selma.

And still, why is the moon angle different? That seems like a huge deal...

--- Double Post Merged, Dec 31, 2017, Original Post Date: Dec 31, 2017 ---

I can't help but wonder.... Wasn't the gang already suspicious of leo? They went there with weapons but if they were expecting something you'd think they'd have more going for them. Did they really fall hook, line and sinker for something they were suspicious of? Maybe they will surprise us next chapter.

Because this is what happens to Faunus when the moon angle is different
