By then the momentum of the shot has sprung Ruby out of the cannon. However, she uses her speed Semblance to zoom into the arm cannon, hooks Crescent Rose into the interior walling to station herself, and fires the Dust building up ahead of her, jamming the whole cannon with ice and black Dust. Unfortunately Cordovan says, “I’ve heard enough,” and aims the arm cannon directly at the Huntress. This is exemplified by the courage with which she attempts to persuade Cordovan to join her crew. The events of Volume 6 have given Ruby an increasing number of opportunities to embrace her role as the head of the crew, certainly much more than we’ve seen in past volumes in spite of her being RWBY’s primary protagonist. But Ruby firmly tells her uncle, “I need you to trust me.” While he stays behind with Oscar and Maria, Ruby marches onward to face Cordovan’s mech in a David-versus-Goliath analogue, as captured in the screenshot above, and give her a speech about how they need to fight on the same side. He tries to stop her, and this is when we get a split-second shot of the Relic of Knowledge clipped to her waist she’s continuing to guard the crucial item all through this chaos. Qrow turns into a crow and flies off to the airship, finding his niece heading towards the mech at the edge of the cliff. The beam cuts across the cliff and barely misses Qrow Branwen, Team JNR, and Weiss Schnee. Ruby leans out the airship’s open door and fires a single bullet from Crescent Rose, but Cordovan retracts the missile launcher into the arm cannon in the nick of time, and the bullet deflects off the edge.Ĭordovan follows this up by firing a beam of electrified Dust at the airship, which not only overloads the system and makes it crash onto the cliff but also disrupts Maria’s techno-goggles and leaves her blind for the moment. Moments later Maria, who is flying the airship directly at Cordovan, tells her through the comms channel that she has one missile and she knows exactly where she’s going to stick it. He formulates a new attack strategy that concentrates on crippling the mech by shooting the missile launcher when it pops up from the arm cannon. Maria Calavera is still piloting the airship around the mech with Oscar Pine in the cabin. Jaune Arc and Nora Valkyrie are just coming back as well, the former looking especially tired from having his Aura break in the last episode. Then the scene shifts to the battle on Argus’s coastline, where Ruby uses her sniper-scythe Crescent Rose to climb the cliff that she’s hanging onto and rejoins her team up top. As per the structure of the past two episodes, the story here focuses on Ruby and company fighting Cordovan’s outrageously huge mech, followed by Blake Belladonna and Yang (I’m rooting for you, Bumblebee!) facing off against Adam.įirst we get a glimpse of the Argus soldiers watching Cordovan’s mech on a computer monitor and cheering her on (one of them gives a fist-pump). Let me point out that the name has a good, introspective quality, since it refers to Ruby’s red color theme, Adam Taurus and the red-black splash screens used quite often for his fight scenes, Yang Xiao Long when her eyes turn red, and Caroline Cordovan when she “sees red” in response to the perceived unruliness of our heroes.
