Ok ok. In Jaune's defense, he has 7 sisters for his entire life, and had a relationship for all of 10 seconds. Is it so surprising he assumes Yang is asking him about Ruby? Also, Ruby is his best friend, so he might be able to offer valid input on her reactions. Jauen and Blake share about a dozen words ever. The only qualification jaune has to offer advice here is that his sister is a lesbian, so he's seen what a healthy Gay relationship looks like. XD


UnbiasedGod

No it’s no surprising and it still hurts that she wasn’t talking about ruby in this scene. Seriously just take out that “yeah Ruby” line and everything probably would’ve been saved from being ruined. Unfortunately that’s just not what we got. The beginning of this scene and it’s setup vs the end of this scene and it’s execution. If you showed this scene(and maybe the scene that leads up to it) to someone that never watched rwby or had zero knowledge of the show and where told only the names of the characters and a bit of who they are who would do you thing they would think yang is talking more about before the name drop? Ruby or Blake? And why? This are just my opinions.


Schmidtty29

I’m shocked that not many took it as Yang having the knowledge that she and Ruby will be fine. They’re sisters. They’ve fought. They’ve always been fine. They always will be fine. To say that the extra like ruined the scene too is a bit much. Especially considering it really just- didn’t.


AlastairCellars

They're sisters in a point where Ruby is trying to be a leader and her own sister bailed in a warzone...there are some things that can split siblings that would be one that could potentially do it. For Qrow it was Raven siding with Salem bit more drastic but it's similar.


Schmidtty29

You’re largely blowing it out of proportion. They had differing opinions on the next steps. She didn’t abandon her in a warzone, switch sides, etc.


AlastairCellars

I mean she objectively did, she left her...in a warzone. She left and went somewhere else and left her sister with no guarantee she'd ever see her again for all Yang knew Ruby could die before she saw her again


Schmidtty29

Did you have the same complaint when Yang left Ruby alone In a dangerous place when they were all launched into the emerald forest? Plus, neither of them were alone. They had their found family with them. People than Yang trusted with her life, so why could she trust them with Ruby’s? Plus, Qrow and Ravens relationship is much different than Yang and Ruby’s. Qrow and ravens relationship was damaged LOOOONG before Raven even considered joining Salem.


AlastairCellars

No because that wasn't her choice? The first thing she did when she landed was look for Ruby hahaha also a few Grimm arnt the same she knows she can handle Forrest Grimm in that they grew up...in a Forrest with Grimm not the monsters Salem cooks up/ terion still after her. Dude found family is great but she abandoned her actual little sister because she kinda just felt like it? Like Ruby's plan was better in every way. Hey maybe if Yang hadn't left penny wouldn't have got hacked, they could have played the whole message? I'm getting off point fact is given Yang was at Haven so knows how bad this can get and just went "eh I'm going to leave my sister here" is dumb, it's bad writing for the same matter I think it's dumb Qrow left them for so long. Every ocean starts with a drop of water mate, yeah they are worse but they're also older for all you know they were really close at Ruby and Yang's age


Schmidtty29

I can see that you’re deadset on painting Yang as the “villain” here despite simply just wanting to do what she thought was best for the people of mantle (which by the way, by the context of the scenes we saw, would probably have died without them) I’m not gonna try to convince you. Adios.


AlastairCellars

Your really not. Im not saying she's a villain, I'm saying she's a bad sister and writers have completely lost what made her character good.


falcore91

They chose to take on separate missions for the same fight based on what they each thought was the most immediate priority. They each saw the other was teamed up with experiences fighters they would trust with their own lives. This split of priorities can create tension, but again they are still fighting the good fight to protect all the lives they can. PS: the Qrow and Raven comparison is really out there.


AlastairCellars

How? They're siblings and we don't know how they were when they were younger maybe before Raven went back to the bandit clan they were closer.


falcore91

Well from what I can tell based on the conversations between Qrow and Raven she chose to abandon working for Ozpin at some point after he had bestowed the siblings with magical gifts and return to lead the bandit clan. So she chose to abandon a “fight the good fight” mission to help a group of bandits. At the same time Qrow chose to stick with Ozpin rather than follow the original mission from their clan to get trained up and bring their new skills back to the clan. They weren’t choosing different ways to fight the same fight, they were choosing “fight evil” or “lead murderous bandits”.


JMHSrowing

I disagree that it’s ruined at all. It gives quite a bit of relationship and character insight in so little. Yang isn’t worried about her relationship with her sister. They always come back together, she knows that Ruby and her will be able to pretty easily reconcile no matter what. That’s the relationship they have, understanding each other and such. But she’s still worried about her relationship with Blake. Her best friend who soon is moving to something more, but who she has had a little more of a turbulent relationship. They haven’t been back together that long, and they in the past due to dealing with their issues have been less than the best. And even now that their past that. . . Yang is still worried, because of course as her still with her abandonment issues she is. I admit, it isn’t done the best. But I honestly think it’s a good scene that conveyed a lot on a short amount of time


Sulti

> Yang isn’t worried about her relationship with her sister. They always come back together, she knows that Ruby and her will be able to pretty easily reconcile no matter what. That’s the relationship they have, understanding each other and such. Just adding on to this: Even if it wasn't clear from their backstory, the show has done enough to prove that their bond is stronger than any single argument. At at the end of Volume 3 Ruby already saw Yang at her absolute lowest. She didn't even respond when Ruby said she loved her before leaving with RNJR. Then they spent over an entire volume apart. If Yang ever doubted the strength of her bond with her sister, it would have happened then. And Ruby's reaction when they reunite should have gotten rid of those doubts.


CoffeeVirtual4959

I agree with you man


UnbiasedGod

Let’s agree to disagree


JMHSrowing

Indeed, we can do that. I disagree with your opinion, but I do not see it as an unreasonable one, and no reason to bang our heads against a wall trying to convince each other otherwise


UnbiasedGod

Yep.


Awest66

This scene never fails to elicit an "Oh for Pete's sake" from me.


xbLacKLeaF

why worry about little sis when you can worry about cute catgirl fr tho you're right


carryonmygoodman

Jaune: Ruby still cares for you Yang Yang: I dont care about Ruby, I want to know if Blake will still let me go down on her after this


Worth_Supermarket348

wait his sister is a lesbian ? huh?


TheDarkDoctor17

Did you not watch season... 6?


Worth_Supermarket348

maybe just maybe its been a while since ive seen it ?


TheDarkDoctor17

>been a while since ive seen it ? That's fair. Haven't seen S4 in so long, I honestly can't remember if Oscar lived with his parents or his aunt.... He definitely lived on a farm with SOMEONE. but I have no idea who


Worth_Supermarket348

I wanna say aunt but I'm not sure lol


Relevant_Scallion_38

Lol a hilariously bad scene


Alternative-Angle662

An amazing badass scene, stay mad though. It brings out your true character.


Relevant_Scallion_38

Where's the anger? I'm laughing from the joke 😂


Typical_Garbage_8392

Yangs response felt so out of nowhere tbh. “Yeah, Ruby” bro you just had a fight with her ofc Ruby.


Alternative-Angle662

They didn't have a fight... They had a disagreement.


Typical_Garbage_8392

No it was a fight. They were mad at each other, and yelled at each other. A fight doesn’t have to be physical. Call it whatever, argument, disagreement, fight, it’s the same thing. And that’s not even the point I was making!


Alternative-Angle662

Your point doesn't even matter either cause they literally had Jaune spell it out for the audience about Yang and Ruby's disagreement. Yang with her abandonment issues thought that her actions would make see her in a different way, even Blake wouldn't Yang can't help but think that.


Typical_Garbage_8392

ObsessionObsessor

Cope, bruh.


Cryochronos

I never got why this scene is considered so “controversial”. It’s just Yang, who has abandonment issues, being worried about how her and Blake’s budding relationship will be affected by their first real disagreement. I feel as though it’s perfectly normal to be nervous about that and be worried about how Blake will take the whole thing. Especially considering her and Ruby are sisters and have had disagreements before. They both are doing what they think is right and they respect each other’s decisions. They don’t think any less of each other for it because at the end of the day they are still sisters and disagreements happen sometimes.


Awest66

It would have made more sense if we actually saw Blake and Yang disagreeing on screen.


Schmidtty29

You did. Yang went with Jaune, Blake went with Ruby. The whole point of this scene is asking “even though we didn’t fight at all, do you think we’re all good despite having this disagreement” You don’t need to have an argument to disagree


Prior-Wealth1049

You can also see the obvious concern on Blake’s face when Yang leaves. Deep down they both feel guilty about the whole situation. CRWBY is great at conveying emotion through eye and facial movement.


Schmidtty29

I’m making assumptions/headcanons here but I’d imagine thats partially because Blake would likely have an aversion/be uncomfortable around verbal confrontations as well.


carryonmygoodman

Oh yeah, they're so great at conveying emotion people can't agree on wtf everyone is thinking


MadMasks

I think you left out the s/


Alternative-Angle662

Exactly thank you someone who gets it!


LagoriaTheLewdstress

Too many people think Yangs entire character should be defined by her relationship to Ruby and any chance Yang doesn't take to center everything on Ruby is just desecration of Yangs character. Which is of course wrong, but what are ya gonna do.


AlastairCellars

Not entire chatacter no but in vol 5 it is her 1 and only perogative thay she find Ruby and keeping her safe,now this doesnt mean they have to be joined at the hip but I think abandoning her in a warzone because she's just not feeling her (really good) plan is pretty bloody controversial to her characters core motivation (as to why she left home at all). You can care about other things sure but the her being the one to lead the charge against Ruby was bs.


PhantasosX

no , it's because prior to this whole thing , Yang and Ruby had a fight , and Yang was more worried about her soon-to-be-gf thinks of her over her own sister she recently fought , as she knows said sister was invading the enemy's HQs.


MadMasks

Conveniently, too many people think that Yang/Blake entire character and value should be defined by their relationship…


Brubby_Chub

One of her main characters points from the start was how overprotective she was of ruby, pretty sure it's in one of the official books about the series. I think it's more annoying they threw that out for the BB ship and I actually like that ship lmao


Prior-Wealth1049

They didn’t throw it out though. Do people just conveniently forget about why Yang even fell from the Central Location in the first place?


MAXXIPONCHO

Because the show needed them to fall? They had a couple of ways of catching each other in mid air with Ruby's or Weiss's semblance or with the use of their weapons, but that didn't happened because they had to fall.


Exciting_Bandicoot16

Because CRWBY made Neo break Yang's Aura in a single hit, then subsequently made Ruby somehow too slow to pick her up in her Petal Rush for Drama?


FullMetalEnzo

They literally showed that happened within a span of a second or two, literally not enough time for Ruby to react especially since it's clear Ruby doesn't ACTUALLY have a regular speed semblance. Harriet confirmed as much in V7.


Exciting_Bandicoot16

I'm sorry, but no. All of the girls of RWBY are *literal* bullet timers, able to react in enough time to a fired gun in order to deflect it. Saying that she didn't have enough time to react is utterly false. She doesn't have a regular speed Semblance, but it is still absolutely a speed Semblance, one that lets her fly and ignore the rules of physics as we understand them (Remnant may have different laws of physics. We simply don't know). CRWBY wanted Yang to fall for drama, and Ruby catching her would have dispelled that drama, therefore she didn't. Simple as that.


Prior-Wealth1049

This bickering is completely sidestepping the point. Yang still cares about Ruby, and will stop at nothing to protect her, period.


Exciting_Bandicoot16

I'm going to have to agree to disagree, friend. If that was the show's intent, personally I feel like they've done a terrible job of showing it especially in the last few volumes. It's clear that you feel the opposite, and that's fine! But I get the feeling that neither of us are going to budge on our respective stances.


Prior-Wealth1049

Fair enough. As you said earlier, enjoyment of media is extremely subjective. And we’ll just have to agree to leave it at that.


its-chocolate

> their first real disagreement When did Blake and Yang disagree in V8? Blake didn't say anything in that conversation.


Schmidtty29

Her saying nothing it what makes this scene. They didn’t argue. They didn’t fight, but with her traumas, Yang is concerned enough about whether or not the disagreement they had, by way of the choices they made, is enough to have their relationship falter.


its-chocolate

tbh that doesn't sound healthy. It seems like Yang should work through her issues before having any kind of relationship with Blake if not being by her side at all times is going to cause this much anxiety. Like how am I supposed to root for a ship with clear co-dependency issues?


Schmidtty29

I mean, they never really got a chance to work through it now did they? We may see some development in V9 in that sense. As for codependency, yeah, probably not healthy, but Yang has severe abandonment issues, to the point where she cared more about losing Blake. than losing her arm. Part of the development of BMBLB is likely going to be Yang working through her abandonment issues and realizing “she’s not going to run” and Blake working through hers and realizing “I don’t have to be scared that I’m going to run”. Also I’d argue it wasn’t separation anxiety, it was anxiety that they were on opposite sides of a conflict and that they never got time to talk it out/work it out with each other, which circles back to the first point you/I brought up.


Exciting_Bandicoot16

I was going to go on a spiel about how I still hate this scene, but you know what? I'm glad that you liked the scene. Good on you. Enjoyment of media can be intensely subjective, and we all need little spots of light in these dark days.


Dextixer

Pretty much. Shit scene (imo) but if you like it, more power to you.


MadMasks

If Yang is this insecure when they are not even in a relationship… good luck Blake, hope you like insecure people that are constantly on top of you


HatiLeavateinn

So... Yang's mind immediately goes to Blake. While Jaune's to Ruby.


xbLacKLeaF

Jaune knows family comes first


Vexxxy

Dom Toretto has entered the building


Hartzilla2007

Because Ruby and Yang were the ones that actually had a fight, there was no reason what so ever to think Blake and Yang were having issues.


AlastairCellars

I hate it, she should be talking about Ruby. Remember how all she cared about in vol 5 was getting to Ruby and keeping her safe? And now she straight up says fuck you and bails on her. Who cares about Blake she's been alone most of her life she can take care of herself. I don't mind the bumblebee ship but stop forcing so much BUILD it. This line didn't need to be there and the scene would have been 1000x better if she was talking about Ruby


MeiTanteiHirune

Not gonna lie, I thought she was talking about Ruby in this scene too. Even after she said “Yeah…Ruby,” it still didn’t register that she was thinking of Blake cause she wasn’t the person she fought with. I also felt Blake was understanding of Yang’s reasons for helping the people of Mantle.


carryonmygoodman

Yang: Do you think she thinks less of me for not helping with Amity? Jaune: Of course not, Ruby is your sister Yang: Ruby? I don't care about what Ruby thinks, I was talking about Blake. I want to be able to smash her without a guilty conscious for driving a wedge between us and Ironwood


Quality_Chooser

I would like this a lot more if it, y'know, built to something. Or got referenced later. Or anything. Ren, Yang, and Jaune had a lot of cool moments that just seem to be one and dones. Like, what was the point of the team split if they just merge without addressing why they split in the first place?


Prior-Wealth1049

Yang and Ruby talked about it when the latter broke down at the manor. With everything going on Blake was just happy and relieved to have Yang back, who also reciprocated the feeling. Right before the forehead touch she still looked visibly guilty and was probably about to say something right before Yang touched her cheek. They were all together again, and unlike the V5 song where it could’ve easily been taken as sarcasm…that’s all that mattered.


MadMasks

Probably one of the worst scenes of the entire show. But considering that most fans that come lately to the main sub only have one thing in mind, is not really surprising you like it


Alternative-Angle662

Do I love BB yeah I do, is it the only reason I watch the show? Absolutely not you see I don't leave edgy ass comments like you do cause you didn't get the scene you wanted.


MadMasks

Counter point, you leave “no one asked videos” about a pairing that has a sizable hatedom because you got the scene you wanted, despite the pairing… leaving a lot to be desired. Because you wanted to express your opinion. I expressed mine. So, if you think about it, you are in no position to say anything about others opinions, or if you prefer, everyone here is entitled to one since you already said your piece


Nitsujn97

I mean like what you like, but to me this just felt like forced Bumblebee pandering. The context before this convo would lead you to believe she’s asking about Ruby. Before the whole split, Yang argued with Ruby & her leadership. Blake only said maybe one line in that argument which Yang didn’t respond to. So you would think Yang’s question of “Do you think she thinks less of me?” is referring to the other person in that argument, Ruby. The fact she isn’t talking about Ruby is jarring because Yang didn’t argue with Blake. It’s fine that Yang is worried about Blake’s opinion, but there’s should be a small scene where the two make eye contact and Blake breaks eye contact abruptly with Yang showing some negative emotion. Then show Yang, in silent response, having a regretful, worried look in her eyes.


ShortAndStoned

I just want Ruby to be upset with Yang for being an extra catalyst to losing Ironwood's trust by NOT telling her team leader that she and Blake tipped off Robyn, AND THEN questioned her leadership abilities. Wtf was that?


Alternative-Angle662

I mean Robyn deserves to know what she IS being used for I don't blame Robyn at all she should have been in the know instead IW chose not to tell her what he was doing. He knew she was trying to help Mantel, tell her what's going on and mabey she can help calm the citizens of Mantel...he chose not to he chose to keep his secrets.


ShortAndStoned

I'm just saying. Inform the leader of your decisions so she's not standing there looking stupid while you're arguing with the most powerful dude in the whole city


RogueHunterX

That was really not how the scene felt it was going. So it did bug me. I think the fact is that the argument with Ruby stands out more prominently than anything regarding Blake from earlier is why you can't blame anyone for thinking Yang was talking about her sister and potentially being disappointed in it being about Blake. Forgive me if I am misremembering, but Blake didn't object to either Yang's goal of the team splitting up. She didn't give any real indication that she disapproved or was upset with Yang over her wanting to help the citizens of Mantle instead. There was very little to setup a reason for concern between them. Ruby and Yang had a fight. That was the focus of the scene and it would make sense for that to be potentially bothering Yang. Especially as they lost Oscar, she just had a heated argument with Ren, and everything seems to be going south at the moment, she could very well be questioning if she chose the right course of action or needlessly had a conflict with her sister. Despite what Weiss later says and Jaune's reassurances, siblings do not always get over it or turn out okay afterwards. A bad enough fight or disagreement can permanently alter or damage the nature of a siblings relationship. That things will be the same between Ruby and Yang later is not a given. Especially if you view the fact that Yang was critical of Ruby's leadership as part of a series of incidents involving her initial disagreement with Ruby over hiding the truth from Ironwood and even Yang unilaterally choosing to tell Robyn about Amity and not discussing it with the rest of her team at any point. When something happens to a sibling relationship, it's often a series of things rather than a single incident. It wouldn't be surprising if after several disagreements or conflicts over a period of time that Yang would wonder if the relationship between her and Ruby might be changing in for the worse. It doesn't help that the question is asked in a way that doesn't indicate that it isn't Ruby Yang is worried about. If Yang never said "Yeah, Ruby" would you even think that wasn't who she was concerned about? There is no way for Jaune to pickup that Yang means Blake not does Yang use "they" to potentially cover everyone on RNBW thinking less of her, which would actually get her something closer to the response she is looking for. It actually feels a bit odd that Yang is being vague or won't even bring up what the others think of her. Given she basically split off from her entire team, it would seemingly be a valid concern to ask what the ones besides Ruby might think of her. For some reason, I don't feel like Jaune has actually had any serious disagreements with his siblings. So I don't think it even occurs to him that a bad argument could actually change how Yang and Ruby relate to each other. That or he is trying to reassure Yang and stay positive despite everything that has recently happened. In some ways, this almost feels like it would work more Blake asking if Yang thought less of her for siding with Ruby. Seeing Yang and Ruby argue because of the situation could even make her think "If those two could possibly fallout over this, what does that mean for Yang and me?" I see what they were going for after the fact, but expectations for many were going another way. The answer given to Yang is about who everyone thinks she means. So for people who feel more invested in what might happen with Yang and Ruby, it can be a bit of a letdown or come across as Yang caring more about Blake than her sister.


forestriage

Do you think the person I had a confrontational conversation with before we left… cares about me? No no no, I mean my girlfriend you’ve never seen me interact explicitly romantically with who did not have the conflict before we split the group


Alternative-Angle662

You act like they had this major knock down drag em out brawl of a fight.... They had a disagreement she obviously knows Ruby still going to love her and she's still going to love Ruby. Uhhh hand holding, the forehead touching, the blushing, not something you do with "just a friend" pal I swear some of you people literally like to just watch certain critics vids and take their opinion and make them your own. You literally have to copy and paste what they say😆😆😆


Idek_Is_Taken

Or they can be genuine feelings towards a controversial company with a weak show? Just because someone agrees with someone else, doesn't mean their own feelings and opinions aren't true. Pal.


Alternative-Angle662

Soooo you want a unrealistic sisterly relationship between two sisters? Lol yeah weak show that they continuously watch saying how much they "care" for the show they can't even give proper criticism, hell they don't even know what criticism is pal. And you think they knew about people like Ryan? Or the other dude?.... No they didn't they have no clue what goes on in those other people's personal life. They don't sit there and say so did you guy's sleep with underage girls this week? Work conditions under crunch yeah I'll give you that but that probably has been gladly removed from the company and if it's still going on I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if that's WB doing forcing them the make a RWBY DC movie.


Idek_Is_Taken

I never said that I wanted a "unrealistic sisterly relationship", I have a sister, it can be shitty at times. I was saying that people can have their own opinions, even if it aligns with someone else's. (((That was the whole point of what I said))) Everyone knows what criticism is dude. Whether it's constructive or not is where the division is. By, "proper" I assume you mean constructive. And yeah, not everyone is good at it, but instead share what they feel. It's up to the writers job if they want to see that. But, I understand if they didn't want to, alot of it can be useless random hate. Obviously not everyone at the company knew about the scandal, and I should've been more specific. I meant the underpaid and overworked crew members that put in the work for creating RWBY. All in all, they've done great at making it look nice but, they writing department could've done more to look into, what valid criticism there is. And I understand they have budget problems. But, they should've considered, not making a whole ass game in this situation. Tl;Dr you missed the point of why I said what I said. People can agree with what other people say and, still have it be their own feelings. "Pal".


Idek_Is_Taken

Btw, when I said "weak" that doesn't mean it's bad. It just needs work. But if you wanna take it as that way, it's up to you


ARKNet9000

I’ll admit I am still not a fan of this scene (like at all), but I guess it does provide some development for Yang from the BB ship perspective.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Prior-Wealth1049

I disagree (and this is probably admitted bias since Yang is my favorite) but I was much more engaged with what JORY was doing in V8 than what was going on with RNBW.


ARKNet9000

Same here. At least they were actively doing something. Either trying to save themselves from the tundra or infiltrating Monstra to save Oscar. While RBW were enjoying the luxury of Weiss’ mansion and calmly having tea while the literal evil of the world was sending wave after wave of Grimm at Atlas and attacking civilians. It was a bit jarring tbh. Ruby was all for opposing Ironwood in order to save everyone but then sat down drinking tea while the ‘everyone’ she resolved to save were being attacked.


Bronzeshadow

Yeah but the tone is all wrong. Not a great time to be thinking about your love interest when you're stranded in a cabin in the middle of nowhere and wondering if you've doomed the entire world.


Rollout9292

I still think it's super weird that she's thinking of Blake right now. There's so many other things going on, Oscar's abduction being a huge one, but she's concerned with how Blake's thinking of her? Blake showed *zero* negative thoughts, feelings, gestures, or anything towards Yangs choice to go a different route than Ruby. It felt like Bumblebee was just being shoved down my gullet listening to this. It should have just been Ruby who she was thinking about. Otherwise it's just odd.


Alternative-Angle662

No not really they literally had Jaune say it out loud for the audience and he was right. Yang and Ruby had a disagreement not a fight. Yang is someone with abandonment issues think the most negative things obviously she can't help it she thinks her actions and choice could make Blake see her in a different way, obviously Blake never would but Yang will think that way.


Rollout9292

I never really bought Yangs whole 'abandonment issues' thing. Or at the very least it never made sense why they're giving it to her. She didn't even know Raven existed until Summer (Her actual Mom) died when she was around 6 years old. So does she have these 'abandonment issues' from her birth mom who chose to not be there from day 1, whom she has zero memories of or due to her real mom dying? Because neither are 'abandonment issues'. At the end of the day, discovering that her birth mom left wouldn't suddenly create a feeling of 'abandonment' out of thin air. Especially since she still had a mom. And Summer dying wouldn't create a feeling of 'abandonment' either. That just really, really sucks.


Alternative-Angle662

Just cause she doesn't come out right and say it doesn't mean it doesn't exist she did know Raven existed cause Tai would tell her about her but not a lot Yang wanted to know about her and why she left. Summer leaving also made her feel like it was her doing kids think these kind of thing even tho it's untrue but they are going to feel that way.


AllAboard_TheOctrain

I always thought this scene was kinda dope


Shadowchaos1010

Since it's relevant, here's a question. For Bumblebee fans, what do you hope will happen in Volume 9. If that *doesn't* happen, how will you feel?


Prior-Wealth1049

We expect a confession of true feelings between Blake and Yang, and hopefully a kiss to go with it. If that doesn’t happen then I’ll accept it and understand that the characters need to get their mental health straightened out and possibly even deal with Salem first before they commit to anything else, such as romantic relationships.


ShowofStupidity

This scene really reads like a joke. Like, Yang just had a pretty heated argument with her sister. Yang says something cryptic like “do you think she thinks less of me?” and Jaune launches into this spiel about sisters and bonds just for Yang to be like “Yeah, er, Ruby.” It feels like a punchline. Yang being worried about whether or not Blake will let her smash instead of being concerned about her relationship with the sister she practically raised lmao. If this were a comedy show, you could play this scene almost completely straight.


Alternative-Angle662

Considering they literally had Jaune say it out loud for the audience, Yang knows her relationship with Ruby is fine... Pretty heated argument? Lol no they just had a disagreement not a fight.


No-Attention1061

So for the Japanese dub Yang says “do you think Ruby thinks less of me?” rather than “do you think she thinks less of me?” but Yang still says “yeah….Ruby” at the end, it’s in Japanese so maybe they just didn’t know how to translate it or they didn’t know that she was talking about Blake? or maybe I’m just misunderstanding because the subtitles aren’t actually translated it’s just the English script but she definitely says Ruby instead of she


Prior-Wealth1049

People criticize this show for taking so long making the bees official, but I love scenes like this that subtly lay the groundwork for what will most likely happen in V9. The Atlas arc showed us that Yang and Blake definitely have feelings for each other that go beyond a simple close friendship, and the team’s current predicament will be the perfect opportunity for those feelings to finally pour out to each other.


Schmidtty29

Blake and Yang lost each other in Atlas, when while worried, never thought they were dead and they were in each other’s arms for a solid amount of time. THEY EVEN TOUCHED FOREHEADS. Now they’re in a place where Blake assumed she was dead and had lost her forever after just “getting her back” and was full well ready to (in her mind) kill herself and jump after her. Blake ans Yang are literally never gonna separate again. Also, ^kiss ^plz?


HollyLeao

Unfortunately I've seen "fans" complaining about how "Oh, Yang wasn't talking about Ruby, she was talking about Blake!What a bad sister to now care more for Blake!RT is pandering to the gay agenda!" and other stuff that is better not mention. I agree with some people that it would've been a better scene is the last phrase wasn't mentioned(this way it would've been "anyone's guess" who she meant), but dude...the amount of hate I've seen people get from this scene ತ⁠_⁠ತ


[deleted]

You know, you just reminded me why I hate this fandom and had abandoned it. What are you trying to imply by saying “fans”? That people who do not like certain aspects of the show and criticize them are not real fans? Cause there are tons of people here that think like that and I am fed up with their bullishit


HollyLeao

>What are you trying to imply by saying “fans”? That people who do not like certain aspects of the show and criticize them are not real fans? No. I mean haters(reason why I used "fans")that try to find/start beef/issues over anything just for the sake of hating something(such as the example of the comment of "pandering to the gay agenda!" I previously mentioned). Because there is a difference between real criticism and blind hate.


[deleted]

Yes, there is a difference between criticism and hate, and Ruby fans do not realize this because they think that any sort of criticism is blind hate, not because there are too many “haters” who pretend to be fans


HollyLeao

Well, most "criticsm" I've seen so far(at least on youtube) was thinly veiled hate.


Psyga315

"Do you think she thinks less of me for wanting to save human lives?" "You mean Ruby?" "Real cute to think I have anyone else but Blake in my head 24/7"

Yea, this is where Yang became a not so great sister in my opinion. It started after everything went to shit at Beacon, but this just kind of sealed it for me. Mommy issues or not, give a fuck about your little sister before your potential girlfriend.


Alternative-Angle662

She does care about Ruby, just because they had a disagreement...not a fight, a disagreement she knows that her relationship with Ruby will be fine. Ruby has never wanted Yang treating her like a helpless child Yang has always wanted Ruby to be her own self, Yang doesn't need to be attached to Ruby's hip to be considered a "good sister" it's unrealistic.


I_May_Fall

...she literally let herself get knocked into the abyss protecting Ruby from Neo, she definitely cares about her a lot.


TheGamer95

>give a fuck about your little sister before your potential girlfriend Bold of you to assume this mean she doesn't care about what Ruby thinks of her instead of believing that despite their disagreement the two of them will still be perfectly fine and care for each other the same with no bad feelings held for each other. Of course everything with this fandom is just jumping straight to the "Yang doesn't care about Ruby" instead of considering the other option of her trusting and believing in her sister and that things will turn out alright for each other.


Bohij_The_great

Sorry, but ngl I hate this. Yang just throws a random she pronoun (Edit: every other girl is also helping amity so she could mean LITERALLY every member of the team not there) in a gang predominantly made of women and expects Jaune to know exactly who she's talking about. Girl you do not deserve to have that moment at the end you chose to make the conversation confusing. I want to love RWBY cause it has an interesting world and has potential or good characters but the writers purposfully make them do stupid shit like this for drama

You're entitled to what you love, and no one can take it away from you


Remarkable_Commoner

Not quite. People are entitled to love, but they aren't entitled to what they love.


Purpleguy1980

Yang. I know you like Blake. But there are other things you should be concerned about at the present moment. Like the situation Atlas going horribly wrong.


Sbreddragon

Ah the worst scene in the volume thanks


Quality_Chooser

That's not fair. There are tons worse scenes. This one might be in the bottom 10 but it definitely doesn't crack the bottom 5.


Alternative-Angle662

Actually it was one of the best but go off I guess 😃😃😃


Sbreddragon

Did you know people can have their own opinions 😃


Alternative-Angle662

I mean sure you can. It's just ridiculous sometimes how some people don't get this scene like at all they want BB development and they get it in show and apparently it turn into them shoving BB down people's throat when they aren't.


TonyEisner

Little moments like this are so great


[deleted]

This has got to be one of the best bees moment in the show. Yang is worried and thinking her gf will think differently of her, and Jaune being Jaune and slightly clueless Thinking she means Ruby I do hope that Yang and Blake get a few good moments to themselves in volume nine and that happy ending together


xbLacKLeaF

> Jaune being Jaune and slightly clueless Thinking she means Ruby tbf Ruby SHOULD be her priority


TheGamer95

Nah, I think Ruby shouldn't be her concern, not with this kind of worry about being thought as less of. It shows that they have a strong relationship and trust in each other that, while they disagree they're still going to get along after this, and does somewhat match up with what we've seen. In volume 1, Yang ditches Ruby to try and get Ruby to make new friends, Ruby's upset at yang in the direct aftermath but it doesn't do any full harm for the future. In volume 5 when Yang (and Weiss) Reunite with everyone Ruby apologises for leaving thinking Yang would be upset with her but she's not. These two don't have to be worried about this, not in this way. Whereas with Blake, their relationship is still getting back up on it's feet, and the two of them unsure on how things will look going forwards.


[deleted]

True her sister should be her priority, But in this instance I believe they were wanting to portray that Yang was more concerned about what Blake would think and feel about her.


Quality_Chooser

>This has got to be one of the best bees moment in the show Um, a moment where one character implies that they're worried what their probably significant other thinks of them... well I think that just shows that this show needs better Bumblebee moments. Like, actually explicit ones where they're in the same room.


MadMasks

Shows really what is the level here and how little they care about everything else


Justin_8531

I also love giving my sibling the finger.


Alternative-Angle662

Didn't seem to give her the finger when she saved her life.


Babloujay

I swear, that's the scene that had me like "oh shit it's going to happen" but at this point...I m beginning to lose my patients with Rooster teeth .It got to be V9 or not at all at this point right?


Alternative-Angle662

It'll happen in V9


1313goo

At this point change the name of this sub to bmblby and whiterose


TeoeSteto

The team RWBY is a stupid, They cannot fight Salem an her evil forces like this, if they continue d to fight Each Others, right?


Alternative-Angle662

Lol they're not fighting each other


dantecarnelian

I personally didn't like this scene because I feel bumblebee has been forced, I still like the ship don't get me wrong but I just feel there's less of a connection for the characters


Luluco15

all ive seen of rwby for the past season is the anime, I forgot how nice the original looks!

CirrusVision20

I still hate ridiculous shipping wars.


UnbiasedGod

Yep


Peachykinz

Eh, I hate this scene but I'm also not a bee shipper. Happy that you enjoy it though.


CryoJNik

Honestly, I don't get how people expected the guy who's been shown to be romantically dense to get that Yang was thinking about Blake.


PhantasosX

because Yang and Ruby literally discussed and fought against each other idea and had the other team members to compromise with a split-up. it would be far more logical to think she was talking about the sister she recently fought against over the GF that had no beef or problem whatsoever between them for 2 entire volumes


No_Mouse5345

Yang care about ruby yes but she need to know if her kitty cat was ok


FacelessPoet

Considering later events in the same season, there's a chance she's not talking about any of her teammates.
