RWBY Theories #2

[Death the Kidd]

hello everyone. Kidd here with another RWBY theory. WARNING!!!!!! SPOILERS

so if youve seen the new RWBY ep you know that some MAJOR stuff went down. and i have a theory for one of those shoking moments.

so in the battle with Ruby, Neo, and Roman, at the end of the battle Roman is eaten by a grimm. my theory is that he is still alive and here are my resonings.

1.) he was swallowed whole and the Girmm that ate him had no teeth
2.) shortly after being eatin Ruby kicks the grimm into the ship and it dies, and as we all know, gimm bodies dicentigrate after death so Roman had no time to digest.
3.) Roman states bfore he is eatin "its not what i have to gain, its that i cant afford to loose" so this means that there is some more to Roman that we have yet to see and i think we'll need him alive to find out what it is.


so thats my theory, what do ya think? leave a comment telling me if its good, or bad, and your reasoning. also dont be afraid to comment your own theory as long as its RWBY related. hope you all have fun

I like the theory, but I don't see how he could have survived the ship crashing unless he was Ironwood. My guess is the rest of his story will be told through Cinder and Neo.

i think the ship crrashed and then the grimm disentigrated so it absorbed the impact

Maybe, but from what I've seen, Grimm don't deal with explosions well. However, I definitely could see them coming back somehow, but I think he may be back later as a mysterious masked (because of a face injury) guy pulling the strings not as the show-offy Roman we know.

Roman was swallowed whole so the odds are he survived, and since he had his cane he could shoot the Grimm from the inside, so I'm calling it now, one of the final scenes of the season finale is Roman stumbling out of the wreckage, Neo out of nowhere hands him his hat and they walk off together.

Random i know but damnit I want to see a scene like this.

he dose seem really attached to her, romance?, sister? who knows

[Ember Celica]

Miles and Kerry said we were going to see Roman's semblance eventually. And considering we havent seen it yet its pretty much confirmed he will live. Plus he is the most liked villian in the show so it would be stupid to kill him off.

My guess is daughter since he mentioned someone sending him kids from a divorce in the first episode of season 2. Not sure if he was talking about Neo, but that's my guess.

Alright I'll just throw out some of my opinions on the subject below.

Yang's loss of an arm was a DBZ reference to future Gohan and she won't get it back. I believe she will reject cybernetics in the future in favor of learning to fight one-handed as well. This is because after learning her mother is alive, Qrow's message from her, and a possible conversation between them we haven't seen, that Yang has developed a bit of a complex which is gonna drive her to rely heavily on her own strength to gain the approval of Raven. That would mean something like cybernetics and possibly even support from her friends may begin to look like a crutch to her w/ her new situation and drive a wedge there.

Also it was stressed by Qrow (I would assume he knows his sister quite well) that Raven looks at the world through a very different lense than most people. This leads me to believe she will not retaliate against Adam for the loss of Yang's arm. After all she said herself that she saved Yang's life once and to not expect such kindness again. If her nature is to be how Qrow described it, this was a very real warning that she will not serve as Yang's guardian and she has to take care of herself from now on as far as Raven's concerned.

Ozpin could either be around the same strength as the likes of Qrow etc or the strongest character in the show aside from Cinder. It seems to me that he is no spring chicken anymore and he can't beat Cinder, and he only intends to buy time for everyone else to arrive. Cinder didn't stop Pyrrha and Jaune which could say a few things. Either Cinder is so strong that she feels she'll be done with Ozpin in time to make her escape before reinforcements arrive (or that she can beat them all anyway), or Ozpin is strong enough that he still warrents her full attention and carelessly trying to swat two flies could prove fatal for her against him.

Just my two cents. o.o

Edit: Oh and I forgot. In my opinion from what we've seen Adam is capable of, I believe his sword (or semblance) can bypass Aura.

you make exilent points although i dont see Yang looking at the support from her friends as a "crutch" because that would go against everything she told Blake back in V2, the cybernetics is something that would be cool for her and i do see her getting them but after considering what you said it may happen while shes knocked out. maybe Ironwood makes that call with good intentions but it backfires when Yang rejects it.

i am a strong beilever in the theory that Ozpin is the old man from the maiden story so i do beileve hes a match for Cinder, maiden or not.

i think adoms sword absorbs kinetic energy and then he uses his semblance to pass through the Aura of someone so his sword can deal a larger blow

He's survived a train crash virtually unscathed at the end of Volume 2. My guess is ether the griffin killed him, or he'll take the chance he has to disappear from Cinder and maybe return in a few volumes (So his 'death' still has impact).

I just wonder how Neo's going to react to this. Chances are she'll hear that Roman was killed by a Grimm and blame Cinder's plan (probably turn coating, since we can infer that Roman and Neo didn't want to work with Cinder, but were forced to), or she'll assume Ruby was the cause of Roman's death. If she got down safely, of course.

Yang:

Robot arm hype. If Qrow or Taiyang (Somehow) finds Adam after finding out about Yang, there gonna be one hell of a fight.

Adam's semblance:

I could imagine it's similar to Yang's, but more of a singular, devastating attack, as oppose to Yang's sustained form.

Ozpin's semblance:

Idk. Some people have said that Ozpin could be the wizard from the four maidens story, which isn't too much of a stretch considering Ozpin is based on the Wizard of Oz.

idk the Wizard story sounds pretty solid to me. i honestly think his semblence has something to do with time. with all the turning gears like a clock in his office.

i personally want to see Qrow's semblance almost as much as Ozpin's

I agree, with everything she has been through I can only imagine her reluctance to accept help from others (if it happens) to be a temporary phase as she adjusts to having one biological arm. It is very common for amputee's and those suffering from similar sudden drastic physical limitation to feel a desire of normality, to go back to how it was before their injury. They can grow frustrated with being more dependant on their loved ones and feel they are a burden/useless. Friends and family offering to help with activities they used to have no problem doing on their own can cause a rubberband effect and make the person push people away.

My point is that it's possible that even with a cybernetic arm Yang could feel some of these symptoms and (though temporarily) emotionally distance herself from her friends if they are overly supportive. Only reason I believe this is a possible outcome is because of the dark reality-check the show is taking.

If I had to decide on Ozpin I'd probably say he isn't the wizard from the story or he would know a lot more about the nature in how the power behaves. He wouldn't have had to do information digging w/ Qrow and the others to figure it out.

Kinetic force is an interesting idea with Adam. The way he attacks seems like a reference to traditional samurai who were able to decieve opponents in how quick they could retaliate because their blade was shorter than the sheath it was housed. Another idea would be Sam's blade in MGR which was able to be launched with incredible cutting speed from the sheath.

Aura reacts to protect the body from danger, but we've never been shown the limits of how fast it can react. It's possible that Adam can swing his sword from the sheath so fast that Aura cannot react fast enough to prevent harm. 0_0

yeah i see that, but Ozpin didnt need Qrow to look for info one the maidens, he needed info on Cinder, who at the time was only refered to as the girl who took half of a maidens power. so i still believe Ozpin is the wziard, but if not then oh well. a bg surprise would be if Ozpin turned out to be a villian which yes most likley wont happen but still
