RWBY Volume 1 Thoughts

May 12th 2026

So I first watched this show when I was like 9? Then again when I was 14. I barely remember any of it. Anyways. Here we go!!!

Ruby Rose
Humans and monsters… undertale
So this is Roman he kinda has aura
Hiii Ruby hiii Ruby ^_^
She’s listening to the theme song lol
She’s such a cutie
Bro’s unfazed
RUBY GET HIS ASS
She’s so fucking cool this was so badass to me as a kid
Still is 
I wanted to be her
She was like 15 here too 
NICE SAVE GLYNDA!!!
God this is still the coolest shit
Ozpin 
Shes so cute
Qrow ass bitch
SHES LITERALLY ME
Roman is so hot in like an ugly way
Based White Fang?
“Who’s that? Oh…”
The background characters are just silhouettes in season 1 i forgot about that it’s laaaaameee
That’s literally Jaune’s introduction lol
THIS INTRO WAS SO FUCKING COOL TO 9 YEAR OLD ME I REMEMBER PLAYING IY ON REPEAT I DOWNLOADED THE SONG ON MY IPOD TOO I WOULD LISTEN TO IT FOR HOURS ON END
Cinder looks so fucking cool too
God I miss Monty 

The Shining Beacon
Ruby’s fangirling is the cutest shit ever
She’s got a point. 
Hi Weiss
and then they kissed
Weiss you’re kinda stupid shaking it around like that
What did u expect 
Is that Blake? 
AWWW RUBY 
I love Blake too
:( Poor girl
Aww Jaune is sweet
A scythe that’s also a gun? This is the most anime shit ever
Problematic aura gap
SHE DESIGNED IT?!
I know she gets a better character arc but I really don’t like Weiss so far.
Pyrrha in the background
She’s right behind me isn’t she?
I watched this shit in 4th grade I have to remember that.
Poor Ruby
Yang is so pretty
She doesn’t know she’s a lesbian yet
Knowing that Yang and Blake end up kissing much later in the show make this so much funnier.
Ruby’s actually doing a good job here. 
OH NOT YOU AGAIN!!!!!
Good call from Blake there.

The First Step
AND HERE IT IS…
MY FAVORITE CHARACTER GETS INTRODUCED AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS EPISODE
HERE WE GO.
HERE WE GO IT’S HER IT’S REALLY HER!!!!
I LOVE HER IT’S NORA!!!! I KINDA NAMED MYSELF AFTER HER KINDA!!!
SHE’S THE BEST!!!!! She was my favorite before I even went with the name Nora.
I drink milk!
Hi Jaune
I really liked Pyrrha back in the day too. She’s so pretty too. 
Weiss and Pyrrha would’ve been an interesting combination. 
Pyrrha’s kind of a badass. 
The irony here is Pyrrha ends up on the team with Jaune instead of Weiss.
Jaune’s kinda cute too. 
I still like Pyrrha, but of the main eight I prefer everyone else… except for Jaune maybe idk
It’s been a while since I watched this so idk
OK I don’t remember this but I’m gonna try to guess.
Ren and Nora obviously. 
Which means Pyrrha and Jaune.
Ruby and Weiss probably.
and that leaves Blake and Yang!
It’s cool that these mfs are just like “Yeah these teenagers could probably get killed out there but eh whatever they can handle themselves”
I mean they’re right but it’s funny to see 
Jaune got Paintbrushed lol
He’s gonna puke again.
Nora’s so badass.
YANG IS SO COOL
I really like all of these characters so far. 
OK part 2 lets see if my predictions were right.
Nora’s gonna land on top of Ren or something.
Yang is such a badass too. 
Pyrrha wants to be with Jaune aww
They’re so cute together.
It’s gonna be too late and Ruby runs into Weiss. 
Saw that coming. I mean I’ve watched this before but it’s been a good few years.
So I was right about all of my predictions lol 
That wasn’t hard but still.
It’s funny because these are all the popular ships with these characters.
Ruby/Weiss 
Blake/Yang
Jaune/Pyrrha
Nora/Ren

The Emerald Forest
Blake was my favorite when I first watched this. 
Although my introduction to the show was the Weiss promo trailer.
You messed up Yang’s hair now you’re gonna die!
I forgot Blake had that weapon she’s awesome
Weiss started a forest fire, this is a nod to the fact that she’s a rich girl
Pyrrha kinda talks like a robot. 
Jaune does not have no damn aura.
How did Ren and Nora not find each other already?
Oh she’s spying on him lol.
Sounds about right.
Ren’s weapons are cool as hell too I forgot
I think Renora is a really peak ship but I want the girl I named myself after to kiss a girl. 
THAT WAS BADASS
Okay now when does Nora show up.
I thought Pyrrha was about to kiss him 
I know she does later but I thought she was about to right there.
I dunno I think it’s another good ship
Boop!
I FUCKING. ADORE. NORA. 
You’d be surprised, Glynda. 
You’re worried about Ren and Nora not getting along? 
Aww :( poor Ruby
Who got there first? Nora and Ren? Doubt it but still. 
What the hell is that. JESUS CHRIST
That’s a big ass scorpion holy shit. 
I can’t believe that didn’t kill him
Well, looks like Ruby found it. 

Players and Pieces
Episode 5… or 8 if you don’t count the two-parters as two separate episodes. 
Ruby-Jaune collision. 
“Aww it’s broken!” I love Nora
I’M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!!! I’M QUEEN OF THE CASTLE!!! I forgot about that I love her so much. 
NORA!!!!
See what I mean she’s the best.
She’s just dancing while everyone else is freaking out.
Jaune don’t try to… oh that worked. 
They’re both falling like some Looney Tunes shit.
I mean eight teenagers with anime ass weapons against a giant bird and a big ass scorpion I think it’s a fair fight.
Awww
Nora’s just like :D
Yang’s just having a proud big sister moment. It’s cute.
I like how they all have their badass moments. Nora mogs them all though.
I remember people saying the fights looked progressively worse as each season went on I hope that’s not true. 
I don’t remember many fights from the later seasons. Been too long. 
RED LIKE ROSES PART II
This show’s soundtrack played on repeat in my head in fourth grade istg.
The fight choreography is incredible though JESUS CHRIST SHE TOOK THAT DAMN THING’S HEAD OFF
Who the hell cares about these guys 
NORA HUG JUMPSCARE
Nora shoulda been the leader lowkirkenuinely.
TEAM RWBY!!!
I know Weiss is pissed about that. 
The hell’s going on with the moon.
This Roman guy’s badass but like what’s his deal again?
He’s trying to get the dust but why lol
I think I need a nap tbh

The Badge and the Burden
I love that intro so much.
Sleepy Weiss hehehe.
Ruby what the hell is your problem?
Weiss being the last one awake feels a bit out of character for her. 
Blake is so cute 
They kinda screwed that up
Their uniforms are cute I forgot about that. 
3 against 1 on the bunk beds. 
I love Ruby’s energy. 
Who the hell is this old guy again. 
Bro what the hell is his deal I don’t like this guy
Huh
This guy sucks.
You look like you smell like cabbages.
His name is Peter like Peter Griffin. 
Ruby just doesn’t gaf lol I wouldn’t either this guy’s a nut
This outro music sounds like Daft Punk
Poor Ruby, just wants to help. 
It is kinda weird that Ruby is in a leader position.
SAME WITH JAUNE TOO ACTUALLY WHAT THE HELL
I like Ozpin too lowkey
I can’t stand this Peter guy but he’s right here. 
Every character on this show is great so far except for him. 
Is she gonna kidnap her? Oh.
Ruby doesn’t like coffee either? Based. 
Weiss is such a frickin neeeeeeerdddd. Also awww that’s sweet. I like seeing this side of Weiss.

Jaunedice
Jaune centered episode!
Oh hell it’s this guy
The bird guy or whatever.
His design is so lame. 
Hi Glynda you’re so pretty :3
Cardin’s kind of an asshole. 
Ruby’s so adorbs.
HI NORA 
Nora and Ren are so cute. 
BUNNYGIRL SPOTTED BUNNYGIRL
I know her name is Velvet I’m pretending like this is my first time watching.
WHO’S THAT BUNNYGIRL
yeah I don’t like this Cardin guy
That’s some bullshit
YEAH BREAK HIS LEGS NORA
All the more reason to break his legs. 
ok yeah fuck this guy he picked on the bunnygirl that’s too far. 
pulling on her ears and shit yeah fuck you Cardin
fuck the rest of these scumbags in his team too. 
the green one is so damn ugly 
all of them are actually
fuck these guys
I hate team CRDL now actually fuck all of them. 
I LOVE VELVET THOUGH I LOVE BUNNYGIRLS!!! I hope we see more of her soon.
Alright part 2 time I hope this loser and his loser friends get humbled 
haiii Velvet :3
Why is this green dude movin around so damn fast. 
Poor Velvet. 
So it’s like a racism metaphor right? 
At least it seems like most of the students and faculty are kind to the Faunus. 
Velvet is so cutie patootie.
Blake seems to be an expert. curious.
Nora best girl. 
I like this green haired dude with the glasses but he talks a lot. 
BREAK HIS LEGS PYRRHA.
I love Pyrrha.
“No don’t kill yourself you’re too sexy haha”
Sorry birdbrain the lovable idiot gets the pretty athletic redhead.
He overheard all of that ohhhh fuck. 
Is he gonna blackmail him or some shit
Motherfucker’s named Oobleck?

Forever Fall
Nora is such a cutie patootie. 
Ruby’s also a cutie patootie but holy shit I never noticed just how pale she is. 
Surprisingly poignant coming from her, but she’s really taken her position as leader to heart. 
GODDD I HATE THIS ASSHOLE SO MUCH PYRRHA PLEASE BREAK HIS LEGS
Professor Peaches?
NORA IS ALWAYS SO DAMN CUTE. 
Wait now what’s happening.
Don’t do this shit mannnn
Fuck this guy bro 
Hoe don’t do it
GET HIS ASS JAUNE
NOW THATS WHAT A LEADER DOES FUCK YEAH
Jaune respect button >>>>>> 
THATS THE SHIT JAUNE THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT FUCK YEAH
Jaune’s gonna save Cardin’s ass now isn’t he
JAUNE MOGGED ALL YOU FUCKIN LOSERS 
YOU DON’T FUCK WITH JAUNE ARC
HIS AURA IS BEING RESTORED
Would be fucked up if they just had him die here. 
MAGNETS BITCH! 
YOU DON’T FUCK WITH JAUNE
He really humbled all of them. 
THAT HOE DRANK A WHOLE BOTTLE OF SYRUP???
I love Pyrrha so much bro.
I’m sleepy as hell. 

The Stray
This is the Penny episode right?
I love Penny. 
Me too, Ruby. 
Weiss can be so cute sometimes. 
Roman. 
Oh yeah forgot Weiss is a bit racist against Faunus early on in the show. 
Is that uhh Sun Wukong or whatever his name is.
Blake’s got a cruuuuush. 
Cute as hell omg
and now Ruby’s got a crush too! 
Penny’s so silly I love her. 
AWWWWW AWWWW
Hehe Weiss
It’s a combat skirt!
I LOVE THEM HEHEHE
I mean I’m on Blake’s side here Weiss is being a bit racist yknow
Like her perspective is like the Faunus targeted her family and shit and that’s how she was raised but still girl you gotta get over your prejudices 
This episode is what made Blake my favorite character when I was in 4th grade.
I’m white so I couldn’t exactly relate to the racism metaphor obviously but I looked at it from a very surface level point of view because again I was 9 years old and a dumb white kid who was like “ohh damn she’s hated for having animal features but I think having animal features would be cool as hell” and like now I see this scene for what it is but I can’t stop thinking about when I was like 9 lol. 
Either way I love Blake and this scene is still heartbreaking watching it again 11 years later.

Black and White
Volume 1 is really not that long, huh?
She quite literally was born into the White Fang, wasn’t she?
Also, yeah they were a peace group. 
Yeah that’s the fucked up thing we’ve seen in the real world is that peace barely does shit. 
HEHEHEHE HI PENNY
The bow does look like cat ears either way.
“She does like tuna a lot” HEHE
She wants that cookie so effing bad.
It’s the Torchwick fucker 
Oh! Y’know I don’t know if I should’ve laughed at that joke or not. Definitely hits different in 2026.
They’re gonna find Blake here and they’ll think she’s working with the robbers or something.
So Torchwick is controlling the White Fang?
So they sell out their morals to aid a sleazy piece of shit? Weiss might’ve had a point about the White Fang.
I WANT YOU TO GIVE IT UP FOR ROBO BITCH!!!!!
Oh yeah she’s got like a little weird puppet thing going on.
These kids do keep getting weirder, Roman. I agree with ya there.
Her kitty ears are cute!!
I love Weiss she pissed me off a little but I love her.
What the hell is going on here.
Who’s that talking to Penny?
So that’s the end of that.
Uhm… decent first season! 7/10 maybe?
Wait end credits scene
Oh shit Cinder.
Whose the other two
OHHH ITS THOSE TWO
I FORGOT THE OTHER GUY’S NAME BUT UHH EMERALD 

As a little bonus, here’s my character ranking for season 1 so far! Based on how interesting I find them and stuff like that. Subject to change as I get more into the show of course!
  1. Nora Valkyrie (QUEEN OF THE MF CASTLE)
  2. Ruby Rose (Always loved this cutie)
  3. Penny Polendina (GIVE IT UP FOR ROBO BITCH)
  4. Lie Ren (Cool weapons. Cool color scheme. Also has a close bond with best girl)
  5. Blake Belladonna (Tragic catgirl also I liked her a lot when I was 9 and that kinda stuck with me)
  6. Velvet Scarlatina (She had maybe two lines in the entire season but shes a bunnygirl so you know how this goes)
  7. Yang Xiao Long (She’s a badass but I feel like she’s too much of a badass at times, like I wanna see her character go in a different direction perhaps…)
  8. Pyrrha Nikos (I love her. She’s a strong fighter with a soft spot. Also YEAH MAGNETS BITCH!)
  9. Weiss Schnee (Classic trope of upper class girl raised prissy and shit learning to care for her friends and see them as equals. I love it.)
  10. Jaune Arc (Him proving himself to be the worthy leader he is in that scene with Cardin was badass)
  11. Glynda Goodwitch (pretty lady…)
  12. Ozpin (He seems interesting, it’s cool seeing how much potential he sees in Ruby and Jaune and so far he’s been proven right.)
  13. Sun Wukong (He’s cool. Showed up too late in the season and didn't really have time to prove himself)
  14. Roman Torchwick (He has so much aura but I hope he can prove that there’s more to him than that)
  15. Cinder Fall (She has so much potential I wanna see more of her)
  16. Bartholomew Oobleck (I like him actually just not as much as some of these others)
  17. Peter Port (kind of a creep idk)
  18. Cardin Winchester (this guy still pisses me off)
  19. Sky Lark (didnt do shit + ugly asshole)
  20. Dove Bronzewing (didnt do shit + ugly asshole)
  21. Russel Thrush (didnt do shit + ugly asshole)
Also also... Episode Ranking!
  1. Players and Pieces
  2. Forever Fall
  3. Black and White
  4. The Stray
  5. The First Step
  6. The Emerald Forest
  7. Jaunedice
  8. Ruby Rose
  9. The Badge and the Burden
  10. The Shining Beacon
Song of the Day: Casey Lee Williams - This Will Be the Day 
I remember losing my shit when I learned she was 14 here. I was 9 when I first watched this show so that was crazy that someone only 5 years older than me was doing the vocals for all the songs.
Good Omens tomorrow. Won't have time to watch it though prolly. :(
