RWBY Volume 4 Thoughts

May 18th 2026

The Next Step
Oh what the hell is that
Who the hell are these guys
Is this Arthur and Hazel?
Tyrian is cool as fuck
The other two are ugly as fuck
Hi Cinder
Tyrian idk about you man
Why does a small part of me actually feel bad for Cinder
Here comes Salem!
Oh shit so Ozpin IS dead. That’s what I thought.
Did they kill Summer in the past too?
So if a bunch of them were able to gang up on Amber and kill her then it shouldn’t be hard to do the same to Cinder
Who is Sienna Khan?
Also Adam Taurus mentioned /neg
Cinder can’t even speak huh
Ruby did a number on her I take it
Tyrian creeps me out but in a cool way he’s not like Adam or Roman
He wanted to kill her himself
He’s a little over the top
Who the hell is this now?
Just kidding I know it’s Oscar Pine
I’ve seen this show before… a long time ago
NORA AND REN HAII
Jaune just wants to be the leader still.
How is “Junior” a cooler name than “Ranger” lmao
WHAT AN ENTRANCE FROM RUBY HOLY SHIT
You don’t fuck with Ruby or her friends!
Nora is a badass too
HIS ARM IS A TREE
Ren is so damn cool
Jaune is a good strategist
Damn they don’t play around
So they’re getting paid like actual hunter
Shit’s not that funny
But seeing Ruby happy after all the horrible shit that happened to her is refreshing
Nothin wrong with liking cute bunnies 
I remember Jaune saying it himself. Pyrrha was the first person who ever really believed in him
So far this feels more like a traditional fantasy series
Oh they’re gonna get lost aren’t they
HEY WEISS!!! HELLO WEISS!!!
Are we gonna see Jacques next episode
That mf pisses me off

Remembrance
THIS INTRO KICKS ASSS
So team RWBY is all separated.
Ruby is with JNR
Weiss is with her family
Blake is with Sun and her family
Yang is with her dad after she lost her arm.
I see.
I FORGOT ABOUT THE FENNEC GUY
I hate Adam so much bruh
NORAAAAAAAAAA
Whitley! 
Well at least they have a map.
We’re lost.
SEVEN SISTERS
Wait Nora what the hell was sthat supposed to mean?
That shit does not look good.
Tyrian probably.
Volume 4 is already off to a really dark start.
What’s that?
They look like they know something about that symbol.
Who’s this douchebag arguing with?
Oh it’s Ironwood.
So he’s just a rich asshole that makes sense
Is Weiss fr gonna transfer to Atlas
GOD I HATE THIS GUY
A charity concert?
Weiss is gonna sing?
Weiss is a good singer I’m sure.
What’s that about.
His eyes changed color like three times what was that about.
Ruby’s still traumatized after all of that.
I’ve had similar shit happen to me when I lost people close to me.
Like I would still hear their voice, see them in my dreams and shit.
OH THAT MAKES MORE SENSE.
He’s listening to a video recording of her to practice fighting.
So she’s not hearing voices. 
Jesus this hurts
Again she kissed him before she went off to fight Cinder.
Also “I’ll always be here for you” cuts deep.

Of Runaways and Stowaways
We’re gonna see what Blake’s been up to here.
HIII BLAKE MISSED YOU.
She’s with Sun I thought no?
Who’s watching her?
Tyrian?
YANG HII MISSED YOU.
She’s so cute I love her. 
What is it?
OHHH it’s a prosthetic arm 
That’s sweet of him maybe Ironwood isn’t a bad guy like I first assumed.
I understand Yang’s feelings, if even half of the shit that happened to her happened to me I don’t know how I could go on.
This just hurts to see :( I feel so bad for her.
Who is that following Blake?
That don’t look good.
That’s a big ass sea monster.
Blake’lll handle it.
She’s one hell of a fighter.
Also this music goes hard.
HUH
Ohhh 
So it IS Sun.
So was he stalking her or something?
He’s kind of an annoying ass lol.
HOLY SHIT 
Bro’s down bad 
Justified tbh
BUNNYGIRL SPOTTED
He’s such an idiot
Crazy how even Cinder’s traumatized from everything that happened last season.
The hell is that noise?
THE HELL IS THAT THING
Did she or did she not?
So Ozpin is dead??? I don’t understand bruh.
What are YOU planning?
I deadass was expecting that to be Tyrian and not Sun. He’s supposed to be looking for Ruby though, isn’t he?

Family
Is this Oscar?
DUDE WHAT THE HELL
Yang’s going back to that day where she fought Adam and lost her arm.
Just try the prosthetic I think it’ll help.
QROW WEARING A SKIRT???? I’M DROOLING 
I need to see him in a skirt omga
I love Yang 
Is that like the “Rome wasn’t built in a day” saying
Ozpin :( 
Where’s Raven
Damn right, Yang.
Did he really fucking say that.
She took that way better than I would have
Goliath in the room is crazy.
Address Me.
Return to normal is an odd way to put it
Right
Isn’t that literally what the name Yang Xiao Long means?
Sunny Little Dragon
I like that. 
That’s a fair reason to be scared of mice, but they’re cute in my opinion.
Yang is strong, I think she can handle herself 
RUBY I MISSED U 
Higanbana
QROW I MISSED U
He really is a crow ass bitch
Red eyes??? RAVEN??
“Gave you top” had a different meaning in 2016 lol.
RAVEN!!!
She’s so pretty Yang really is her daughter.
There must be some beef with these two I’m curious
Wait yeah Qrow’s right what the hell.
But at the same time I kinda get it Yang has to learn to save herself
Does Salem have what?
I don’t really understand what Salem’s deal is but she’s cool.
Team STRQ were killers and thieves?
Shion is the village that was destroyed right?
Who’s the Spring Maiden?
Ooh wait is it Raven?
YANGGGG I LOVE YOU
<3 

Menagerie
So is Menagerie where Blake is from?
So we’re gonna see Kali and Ghira this episode I’m assuming.
BUNNY FAUNUS!!!
Just wait until you hear about Australia, Sun.
So Menagerie is like the Australia of Remnant.
THERES SO MANY BUNNIES!!!!
So it’s like apartheid.
I love Blake so so much. 
Sun is kind of an idiot. 
Kali is so pretty.
AWWWW
Ghira’s kinda scary.
I will never understand what Blake sees in Sun
FENNEC FOX MENTION???
Do they not know that the White Fang was partially responsible for what happened to their daughter??
THEY’VE SEEN IT FIRSTHAND.
EXACTLY YEAH.
YANG LOST HER DAMN ARM
Who’s Khan though? 
That sounds like a good explanation but still.
Also Roman was commanding them for a bit too to be fair.
SO GHIRA WAS THEIR LEADER AT FIRST??
The Albain twins seem nice. 
I don’t know if I like him either.
Man these guys are evil I shoulda known. They’re working with that piece of shit Adam after all.
They’re still cool as hell I love foxes. 
OHHHH SHIT TYRIAN.
This guy creeps me tf out too.

Tipping Point
Casey Lee Williams is so talented.
I can’t stand Adam bro
Corsac and Fennec are so damn cool though.
NORAAAAA!!!!!
RNJR’s arc in this season is like that one Lord of the Rings song joking about how the first book is mostly walking. 
Who wrote this season? Tolkien?
Nah in all seriousness I am enjoying most of it so far, Blake and Yang have had some good developments 
THEY’LL WALK IF I TELL THEM TO.
GET THAT WEAK ASS BIRD SHIT OUT OF HERE.
She’s tired of the walking too lmao.
Oniyuri.
ONI YURI. 
I’ll refrain from making any jokes this is gonna get deep I’m sure.
Ren’s parents… they died didn’t they.
I’m sure Nora knows about it.
Have I mentioned how pretty her outfit is yet?
I would wear that irl. 
IS THAT WEISS SINGING???
DAMN SHE’S GOOD.
DAMNNNN.
DAMMNNNNNN SHE’S REAL GOOD.
Singing about how much you want to break free from the shackles your parents put on you at their charity event is really funny though.
Honestly incredibly based too. Love ya Weiss. 
I doubt that, Jacques.
GOD I HATE THIS PIECE OF SHIT.
You never were the good guy
Who’s this guy I don’t remember him?
Henry Marigold?
WAIT OHHHH IT’S THIS GUY.
HE’S THE COUSIN OF THE TRANS GIRL FROM THE LATER SEASONS.
Doesn’t she hate her rich asshole family though.
So yeah this Henry guy’s probably a rich asshole too.
Yeah this guy really is insufferable. 
Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s also a piece of shit like the rest of his family.
Weiss gets her justified crashout moment.
DAMN RIGHT IRONWOOD.
THAT’S MY GOAT.
OHHH SHIT WE’RE ABOUT TO SEE TYRIAN IN ACTION
JESUS CHRIST 
He’s almost cartoonishly insane.
He also creeps me the fuck out but it’s almost enteraining in his case.
Unlike Adam Taurus.
It’s a bit much though.
DON’T FUCK WITH NORA VALKYRIE.
He’s a spider faunus.
He’s a follower of Salem and Salem only.
QROW I LOVE YOU
THAT’S MY WIFE.

Punished
I just realized “Move onward not there yet” spells out Monty.
Hi Oscar.
He seems sweet.
This is so weird bruh
I feel so bad for both of them
This reminds me of the opening scene of 17776.
Oscar is Nine and Ozpin is Ten
GET MORE 17776 PILLED NOWWWWWWW
Being the chosen one must suck fr
That’s creepy as hell.
It really sucks how neither of them have a choice. 
Jacques you’re unbelievable
HE MARRIED INTO THE SCHNEE NAME??? HE DID THAT JUST FOR THE MONEY AND FAME I BET
WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT
Oh and he slapped Weiss fuck this guy
You’re incredibly disappointing Jacques.
So Winter isn’t her dad’s lackey.
DAMN RIGHT WEISS
YOU’RE MORE OF A SCHNEE THAN THIS PIECE OF SHIT IS 
Jacques is a child.
Wow I hate this guy
I fucking hate him. 
Is that even what Whitley wants.
WHITLEY IS FUCKING TWO-FACED I THOUGHT HE WAS COOL
FUCK HIM TOO.
ALL OF THESE ASSHOLES PISS ME OFF
He sure is weird.
Oh yeah that’s right Ruby still doesn’t know who Salem is.
360 NOSCOPE HIS SPIDER ASS 
Nvm Ruby has that Thomas Crooks aim
They might not be on the level of the first 3 volumes but the fight scenes in this season are still pretty damn good
GIRL WATCH OUT
NO QROWWWW
WHAT THE FUCK
FUCK EM UP RUBY.
That does not look like “just grazed”
Qrow said the thing.

A Much Needed Talk
So did he tell Ruby that Cinder is the Fall Maiden?
Sounds like she stole all of it now.
Do you believe in destiny?
He’s trying to explain if you’d just let him.
So there’s two gods. One of creation and one of destruction. 
One of light and one of darkness.
A bit cliche but whatever.
They both worked together, and they created.
Let me guess… Humanity?
Yep.
That’s kinda interesting actually.
Knowledge, Creation, Destruction, Choice
Four Maidens. Four Relics?
SO THAT’S WHAT SALEM WANTS.
OKAY THAT’S KINDA INTERESTING ACTUALLY.
I’ve always wondered why the moon on Remnant looks like that but it’s super cool.
Her parents seem sweet, but they’re still trying to make the whole White Fang thing work.
What the hell
Her outfit is nice but it really doesn’t cover much.
Blake is a little too relatable here and I don’t know how to feel about that.
Oh so they aren’t trying to be cool with the White Fang?
I really do feel like her parents are good people. 
No one could’ve done what she did alone.
Sun is such an idiot lmao.
Bad Luck Charm is crazy
Poor guy.
That’s not something he wants to have. 
Is this Raven?
I know they can both take the form of birds.
He doesn’t want them to get hurt.
Blake gets her justified crashout moment to.
I kinda can’t stand him.
IS THAT ADAM?
Wait no.
Who is this?
TF Happened?
Bro’s bleeding pen ink.
Is he gonna die?
Surely this isn’t where he dies, right?

Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
AWWW ZWEI
It’s good to see Yang back in action.
She’s so pretty. Blake has good taste.
Blake’s also pretty though. Yang has good taste too.
Tai realizes she didn’t attack that guy right?
Ok he’s not bringing that up
She’s hot-headed. Literally.
I think she let her emotions get the best of her in the fight with Adam and that’s why she let that happen to her.
I get why she did though.
Yang is strong evenn without her semblance.
Weiss!!!!! Hi Weiss!!!
I hate this guy.
To be honest his voice is grating too.
Your army is AI slop broski.
You can do a lot in your own bedroom.
Weiss seems to be getting the hang of her whole summoning thing
Winter would be proud, probably.
Oops.
At least someone respects her.
Who the hell is this?
It’s not Adam unless he transitioned.
Did Adam transition?
Who is this?
Ilia?
So why did it take her whole mask coming off for Blake to recognize her?
OH SHE’S A CHAMELEON.
THAT’S SO COOL.
They wouldn’t kill off Qrow and Sun in the same episode.
Let’s see how Qrow is doing anyway.
OHHH They’re close to Mistral.
What’s the deal here?
Looks like Nora knows something.
Why is it crossed out.
This is definitely important to both of them. 
I know they’re childhood friends, is this their old village?
“We always have” YEP.
I hope this means we get more Renora moments. I like them a lot.
I’m worried about Qrow mostly.
Uh oh.
That’s a big ass footprint WAIT NO IT’S THAT SYMBOL AGAIN
What the hell is that symbol?
We saw it in episode 2 but I don’t remember in what context.

Kuroyuri
We’re about to get some Ren and Nora lore!
Have we even really seen Adam in this season yet?
I don’t think we’re going to.
What the hell have Watts or Hazel done yet this season yet?
This is going to be a flashback episode kinda right? 
Regardless I’m going to love it I’m sure.
Are we starting off with Oscar?
Poor kid. Again, he didn’t ask for this.
There’s Hazel.
What was that about?
What’s his deal?
How is Qrow even still alive? If he is.
OOH THAT’S A DEAD LOTUS FLOWER LIKE HIS SYMBOL
And there’s baby Ren awww.
So that’s his mom.
He’s so so silly.
We’re gonna see baby Nora too aren’t we?
I feel like I remember this.
He’s so silly.
THAT’S BABY NORA OMG
Poor girl :( 
They’re all scared of his dad.
So what happened with Nora?
He was just trying to do something good for his dad.
So is this how they became friends?
That’s something I’m excited to see.
They’re two of my favorite characters so I love learning more about them.
Damn.
Is this how the village got destroyed?
Is Li a huntsman? 
Ohhh shit.
I don’t think she survived that.
Li doesn’t look too good either.
I’m actually about to start crying man.
He was just a kid. Him and Nora both were.
He’s just a kid he can’t fight that thing.
Where is Nora?
Oh.
Poor girl :( 
The lotus flower.
OOH WHAT’S HAPPENED TO HIM.
He’s gonna go after her THAT’S MY GOAT.
HELL YEAH
AWWWWWWWW
I love these two so much 
I’m kinda curious though how old would they have been here?
She’s such a sweetheart.
He’s gonna get himself hurt.
WAIT WHAT IS THIS?
Ohhh shit.
Yeah this don’t look good.
THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS
Not the point but THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS

Taking Control
Is this Cinder?
Yup.
Is she still traumatized.
It’s always interesting seeing a villain’s trauma as well.
Tyrian is pretty messed up too.
Both of them fucked with Ruby Rose and paid the price.
Ruby’s more dangerous than Qrow honestly.
Tyrian’s concept and design are cool as hell but he’s a bit over the top.
Hard to take seriously.
I dunno. 
This is crazy though.
He’s got some issues
MORE YANG YAYY
She’s making the arm more of her own aww that’s nice.
OH SHE STILL HAS THAT
Yang my beloved.
She did see her though didn’t she?
Was expecting her to just say “out” like Skyler White.
“I Fucked Blake.”
Klein’s kinda chill I can’t say I was expecting this.
Jacques and Ironwood are arguing again.
Is Leo the headmaster of Haven?
Weiss better get out quickly then
I really don’t like Jacques.
She was buying herself some time.
What’s with her eyes?
Is he Australian too AWWWW
This guy’s awesome I like him.
So Yang and Weiss are leaving. What about Blake?
I guess we’re gonna see what she’s up to now as well.
Blake’s so gorgeous.
I love her so much. 
Damn that’s some real shit.
PREACH SUN
I really do love Blake she’s always meant a lot to me.
Seems like he already did overthrow them.
That’s not really a good idea
REN WHAT HAPPENED.
Is this the thing that destroyed the village last time?
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING
THAT’S ACTUALLY FUCKIN TERRIFYING

No Safe Haven
26 minute long episode this better be good.
What the hell is that thing
That is absolutely terrifying
Might be the most terrifying monster in this show yet
How does Ren do that?
Also how the hell is Qrow still alive?
This doesn’t look or feel like a normal grimm this thing is actually terrifying.
Oh shit but is Nora okay?
That was smart and brave of her but is she gonna be okay
REN WTF
Good lord that thing is absolutely brutalizing them
They might wannna just surrender.
Nora what was that
NORA WHAT ARE YOU DOING
She’s usually so cheerful seeing her like this is surprising but I love it so much.
She’s not fucking around anymore 
DAMN RIGHT NORA 
 Also wtf Ren still has the dagger?
I mean I would’ve kept it too if it was the last thing my father gave to me before he died.
Nora once again reminding everyone that she is really the best character in this show.
This is awesome I love this.
THAT’S WHY HE’S THE GOAT!!!!! THE GOAT!!!!!
Metaphor for facing your fears and trauma or whatever
NORA GLOMP!!!!!
HOW THE FUCK IS QROW STILL ALIVE?!
I’m glad he is but how the hell?
Well that’s just good luck
Nvm the smoke
Well that was quick.
He’s not gonna die here that would be stupid.
REN AND NORA YAYYYYY
THEY’RE SO PRETTY.
AWWWWW THEY’RE HOLDING HANDS
KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS
AWWW
AWWWW SHE’S PUTTING HER HEAD ON HIS SHOULDER
PEAK
This might be my favorite episode in the series so far.
Which is ironic because the rest of the volume was largely just kinda okay.
Ruby’s gonna write another letter.
Oh why would it be difficult does she have bad handwriting too? Can relate.
That’s my new headcanon Ruby has bad handwriting.
WEISS
Are they gonna reunite?
AWWWWWW THE TEAM RWBY PIC
They deserved to just be happy. :( 
I love this a lot.
I love all these characters OH IS OSCAR COMING TO HAVEN TOO?
We haven’t seen Emerald or Mercury at all this season.
Damn.
Her handwriting is pretty decent actually. I can’t project onto this character at all!
Awww.
This is making me emotional. 
Is that Ozpin’s old weapon?? :O 
Akira bike slide.
OHHHHH NOW THE PROFESSOR IS WORKING WITH SALEM OH SHIT.
Man I uhh. IDK.
7/10 season for the most part but damn that last episode was woah
It’s my bias towards Ren and Nora obviously. 
End Credits scene time.
Qrow again.
Oscar!!!!
He was born yesterday and has every disease.
OH SHIT.
OHHHHH THAT’S AWESOME.
They had him reincarnated into this random ass farm boy though 😭
OK bye ^^
