TV RWBY

How about no ;p

 

[Hermit]

How about no ;p

People actually think Summer was the former Summer Maiden
This fandom sometimes
Also, another prediction. The Relic in Atlas is being guarded by the Schnee Family. Atlas is a heavily militarized country(?), there's no need for something so important to be left without defense of the highest order. My guess is that its in the Weiss household.

Gotta say, salem is one of my favorite villains altogether. And clearly there is some deeper bullshit going on with her. I despise raven as a character, her cowardice gets to such extent that she would abandon her family over it, but regardless of that when it comes to salem... I believe her. At least for the time being I am convinced there is some shit going on which actually justifies raven's attitude towards salem. I am thinking that salem either is the dark god in question or perhaps is something like an intrinsic force of nature that can't actually be killed in a meaningful manner. Perhaps she is something like marvel's galactus. Sure, galactus eats worlds but he isn't evil. As many billions as have died to him, he needs the worlds to live and if something were to happen to galactus the universe would straight up end. To me it sounds like there is a fair bit of nuance to all things concerning salem.

Aside from Summer Grave what if this is an actual elevator to the Beacon Vault :

Just like in old classic RPG games you find old ruins and a Key ( Cane ) and activate an elevator

Another option is that the Vault was Amber was it's the Vault, however, the whole Vault is like a labyrinth ( we saw corridors to the sides there ) so choice apply here tbh same goes for a Ruins where RWBY and others had to made a choice as well so it could be a hint :P

1.Pyrrha Nikos
2.Blake Bellabooty
3.Yang Xiao Long
4.Cinder Fall
5.Raven Branwen
6.Neopolitan
7.Adam Taurus
8.Weiss Schnee
9.Nora Valkyrie (I think thats her second name?)
10.Winter Schnee

Explain yourself I don't see how Winter or Weiss can be lower than Neo ( that has an only design going for her ) and Adam tbh..

Honestly this is a part of the fight I dislike with passion but overall I'm thinking that Maiden existence hurts the show tbh..

Neo ( that has an only design going for her )

Only design?

but overall I'm thinking that Maiden existence hurts the show tbh..

How come? I'm curious why you think this
Why Coco and not Velvet in your avatar?

How come? I'm curious why you think this

The show was about skilled fighters that have specialized in one weapon type and have one unique ( Bar Schnee but it was also added at a similar time like Maidens ) ability to them...

We got them that not only are at top of power scale and destroy it ( For example Ilia becomes Maiden in next Volume she's atomically top 5 ) but also the main story is almost focused purely on them..

It's also an excuse to give four Main girls an easy power up to make them OP without any need for training and grow and putting aside they unique abilities... Very poor writing if you ask me

Add to that ( if my theory is wrong ) Ruby can basically one shot Maidens with SE same goes for Any type of Grimm no matter how powerfull ( Dunno which one I despise more Maiden or SE ) <<< Sure unlike Maidens or Weiss Summon it was hinted at the start but still they could take other direction than " Insta Win for Good Guys " hey guess what Salem is Grimm

Well maybe because...

I just like Coco more

I dont think all the four main girls will become Maidens though, Yang is the obvious choice for now. But each of the others will getpower ups in different ways.
Didn't Amber lose to Cinder's group despite being a Maiden? Your skill also matters when being a Maiden, that much is obvious.

I agree.Though from the looks of it i believe Yang may become a Maiden.Though it will depend upon the creators.

I just hope all 4 Girls have some power

Ruby-Silver Eyes
Weiss-Some Snow power up
Blake-Something fitting her
Yang-Maiden.

 

[Vici]

Amber was inexperienced Maiden and dunno whatever she was a Huntress before or not.. Still, it took Mercury/Emerald/Cinder to push her to the limits and she lost in the end because she focuses on finishing Emerald and drops her guard against Cinder.

I dont think all the four main girls will become Maidens though, Yang is the obvious choice for now. But each of the others will getpower ups in different ways.

2 Girls already got that power-up:
- Ruby has Silver Eyes
- Weiss got summoning which is basically the second Semblance tbh

That leaves Blake and Yang still I don't wanna see either of them becomes Maidens let Yang and Blake have something different < Giving Maiden powers to one Girl would put her way above anyone else and to balance this they would either go one of three ways (Each one is bad Writing ) :

- Give it to them all and put aside they Semblances etc. cause who need them when you have unlimited power of Maidens ( Yeah unlimited because unlike Semblance you can use Maiden powers when you are out of Aura )
- Give other girls other big power up out of nowhere
- Just make the last character ( Yang/Blake ) totally useless in Combat and don't give them anything

But hey it's just my opinion ( and I won't change my point of view on Maidens ) the one that deserves something small are Yang and Blake because they didn't get anything but it's definitely shouldn't be Maiden Powers..

OH, I like that theory. It fits perfectly well. We kinda know that the entrance to the vault is not at beacon academy, we saw the chamber beneath and it didn't have the entrance to the relic.

As for the neopolitan thing.... HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT THE STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE GODDESS!? (I know neopolitan has vanilla there but she will always be the strawberry chocolate goddess to me).

I don't see any of the girls getting maiden powers for the time being, let alone all of them getting each in time. For the time being the powers are held by cinder, who might be dead, and raven, who doesn't seem likely to die any time soon. At least if she dies next episode I will be surprised. So the only one whose powers are up for grabs is cinder. And what would the alternatives be in her case if she did die and her powers need a new host? Since the transfer is... intimate it has to be female people who are close to cinder. With that in mind the options should be:

1.- Emerald.
2.- Salem
3.- Someone whom cinder cared about that we haven't met
4.- Ruby

I don't even have ruby as a third option lol. Yang getting maiden powers from cinder would make absolutely no sense of course and clearly cinder has less of a relationship with the remaining rwby members than ruby herself.

What do you mean with summoning being a second semblance though?

I wouldn't mind this honestly, so far as it is Emerald's skill set is really unbalanced as a character. She has illusions that are really freaking powerful, but that's about it. Mercury is more balanced out as a fighter to me despite only specializing in CQC.
Emerald becoming the next Fall Maiden would be a welcome curve ball to me.

I wouldn't have thought of emerald as unbalanced lol. Sure, her illusions are damn powerful but they are far from sharingan level. Otherwise All the rwby team would be dead. There is always something in her illusions that give her away, such as in the fight against the fall maiden where the dust moving gave emerald away. Mercury is not really a factor in this conversation as maiden powers are sexist bitches. And I would maintain that emerald being the next fall maiden would be the more obvious choice. It's literally anyone else that would be a curve ball. I do kinda wonder how emerald and the other bad guys would react to this....

Salem: Emerald, relax, you are a maiden, it's no big deal.

Emerald: FUCK YOU BITCH I DIDN'T SIGN UP FOR THIS!

Salem: It's going to be all right. You will learn to use your powers in time and serve me well, just as cinder did.

Emerald: SERVE YOU!? I don't care about serving you! I didn't sign up to be a main antagonist! I barely had the development to be a sidekick! I was fine kicking ass on the sidelines while occasionally murdering someone! I was fine with my role in the plot being to tell mercury to shut up and look annoyed!

Salem: Ruby told mercury to shut up.

Emerald: THAT BITCH I WILL EXPLODE HER!

As for the neopolitan thing.... HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT THE STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE GODDESS!? (I know neopolitan has vanilla there but she will always be the strawberry chocolate goddess to me).

If you ask me about design it's top notch everything else... wait... ohh yeah she's sadistic and that's it

I loved her fighting style but seeing how dirty they did Mercury I not looking forward to her display.

Mercury is more balanced out as a fighter to me despite only specializing in CQC.

And he got hit with ease by someone who has one training in CQC not to mention that this Headbutt was good or something it was pathetic :P

What do you mean with summoning being a second semblance though?

Don't get me wrong I know it's her Semblance ( I just tend to sometimes call it like second Semblance because for me it's completely new set of skills )

My point also was that Weiss already received a power up in terms or complete new ability just like Ruby..

I don't see any of the girls getting maiden powers for the time being

Amen forever and always

STRAWBERRY CHOCOLATE GODDESS FOR LIFE!!!!!!1!!

Her display? Dirty mercury? Are we having the same conversation?

Ah, I see. I wouldn't go as far as calling it a secondary ability though it is true that weiss' semblance simply has too many abilities and uses. And summons in particular seem exceptionally powerful to the point where they might even allow weiss the chance to fight well beyond her class so to speak (provided she gets to summoning them). I mean, she basically just used scorpions fatality on hazel.... I can't help but wonder what summons winter would have collected over her career as a huntress, she likely has fought much stronger grimm and opponents in general.

I was comparing Mercury and Emerald as far as battle abilities went, which is why I brought him into the conversation Emerald's overall battle abilities suck, which is why I meant the Fall Maiden powers going into her would be something Id much appreciate.
If Emerald becomes the next Fall Maiden I can see a plotline where she seeks revenge against Raven for killing Cinder.<<This would be more interesting than her being relegated to Salem's lap dog like she already is

And he got hit with ease by someone who has one training in CQC not to mention that this Headbutt was good or something it was pathetic :P

So was Adam

BTW, do we know what cinder's semblance is? It's kinda weird that at this point we don't know. Maybe that is the biggest hint that she is alive....

I'm assuming its fire? Before she became a Maiden that was what she primarily specialized in. Even from the first episode we saw her shooting those fire attacks at Glynda and Ruby from the space ship.
Not to mention these two babies:

 

[Vici]

Her display? Dirty mercury? Are we having the same conversation!

Mercury style was all about overpowering his enemy with complex kicks he was barely using his hands and even if he was it wasn't to try to punch someone like in Ruby or Yang case..

That's why I'm not looking forward to Neo return because her fighting style won't be recreated either and besides of her design she only have that going for her.

I can't help but wonder what summons winter would have collected over her career as a huntress, she likely has fought much stronger grimm and opponents in general.

Dunno but how many she was able to control 6 at the same time like it was nothing and yet people still Saying that Qrow would win that duel in Vol.3

BTW, do we know what cinder's semblance is? It's kinda weird that at this point we don't know. Maybe that is the biggest hint that she is alive....

Ruby in Vol.2 mentions something about Glass Manipulation but also she told that she doubts it was her Semblance

So yeah we don't know for sure..

She was a Maiden at that time already ( Let's say in 50 % ) :P

--- Double Post Merged, Jan 17, 2018 ---

So was Adam

Adam completely lost control and charge in Rage ( << Not to mention his a Bull Faunus which is purfect )..

Also, Blake uses her Semblance which is great for creating an opening if not using for dodge/escape..
