Lucifer doesn't care how the labcoats say it works; he knows there's no such thing as a clean break from a drift the minute the plug is pulled. Instead, Michael goes from a second consciousness beside his own to being dragged out of Lucifer the further Lucifer gets from him, both of them gripping tight to the connection until it slips, until it snaps, with a violent recoil that knocks Lucifer's brain out of alignment and reminds his legs that they don't work. His next step falls too fast, too heavily, and refuses to take his weight. It's only Michael, now only a voice outside of Lucifer's head yelling his name, catching him from behind that allows Lucifer to collapse to the floor with his dignity intact.

I’m honestly, very disappointed with this volume. There are so many things that could’ve been better. Some major plot holes as well like how did Adam not cleave through Yangs arm when he did it before? Why didn’t Maria go with the other passengers? Why did Ruby miss the cliff? Why does Yang’s arm have three scratches if Adam uses one blade? I waiting to see how they plan on finishing the mech fight, the Adam fight, AND introduce/finish a kaiju-ish grimm fight all in two 25 minute episodes.

…Well,that is your opinion Carrot and asalways, I respect it.

If I have to debatewith my own opinion of this season, I’d actually have to disagree with you. Forme, V6 has been one of the most enjoyable volumes I’ve appreciated since the start ofthe new, I guess era of RWBY ever since the CRWBY switched from Poseranimation to the new Maya engine in V4. It’s practically my favourite season of the wholeMistral Arc but this is just me personally. While I have my own fair share of disappointments from the season, like the lack of furtherdevelopment with Oscar’s character in terms of the audience learning more abouthim and his past, overall I’ve enjoyed this season a lot. Definitely a lot morethan V4 and V5.

WhatI like about V6 is that there hasn’t been a single episode where I felt thestory got dull. Even when the pacing slowed down, it always picked things backup and kept the story going. It kept me hooked and I liked that a lot.

Asfor your listed plot holes? Well let me see if I can answer some of them.

How did Adamnot cleave through Yang’s arm when he did it before? Hmm well my best answerto that is because last time Yang charged in blindly at Adam leaving herselfwide open for him to take out his arm with one slash. I noticed this timeduring her rematch fight, Yang learned her lesson and she was more on guard. Italso seems like she learnt from her training sessions with Tai Yang. There was oneparticular moment where she charged in at Adam before going around him at thelast minute, just like her daddy taught her. A nice call back to V4.

Why didn’tMaria go with the other passengers? Well you got me there fam. I actually don’t know how toanswer this. When I first saw Maria look back in C1, I figured it was because she already knewthat Ruby was a Silver Eyed Warrior like herself. Like maybe all Silver Eyes, young and old have thisweird sixthsense we’re they’re able to sensewhen another of their kind is nearby. I figured Maria’s reasoning for not goingwith the other passengers was because she sensed another like herself; even ifit was weak due to her blindness. But…as we saw, Maria didn’t realize Ruby wasa Silver Eyes til C6.  Who knows? Maybeshe did realize something interesting about Ruby but didn’t focus on it untilthe time was right?

Sometimespeople just end up exactly where they need to be. Sometimeslife tosses you into a scenario where you’re able to meet people who willultimately change your life for the better and make you into the person you’redestined to become. I know this is hard to believe since RWBY is a story writtenby people but the real life principle still applies. Maria was put on that sameArgus Limited and avoided evacuation because she was destined tomeet Ruby Rose. If destiny calls it, it’ll put you we’re you’re supposed to be.No further explanation needed than just that.

Why did Rubymiss the cliff? Thisanswer I actually got from @tomecko. Ruby missed the cliff because her aura hadbeen depleted after taking damage from Cordo’s canon so by the time she usedher semblance she didn’t have enough juice to make the full zip and ended upmissing her mark and falling. To me that makes enough sense. Plus story wise,they needed Ruby to end up cliff hanged on the side of the cliffto a) give Cordo a target to shoot at and b) give Oscar and incentive to getMaria to break cover and drive the airship in order to try and help Ruby.

Why does Yang’sarm have three scratches if Adam uses one blade? Well since Blakementioned Adam’s semblance being similar to Yang’s, I’d like to think that oneslash from Adam’s blade possible equals the force of more than one blowdepending on a) Adam’s own aura levels and b) how much energy he charges up. Soeven though we saw him slash once, the force of his slash was probably threetimes that or more. And the reason we got three slashes is because that’s asmuch damage Aang’s mech arm absorbed before any real damage could startappearing.

Forall we know Adam could have attacked Yang with force the strength of 100 butYang only wound up with three slashes based on the durabilityof her mechanical arm and the strength of Atlesian tech. Remember backin V4,I believe Tai Yang told Yang that General Ironwood sent her that mechanical armpersonally so I’d like to think that what they made Yang is no cheap piece ofmetal. The fact that Adam slashed at Yang and the only thing she got out of itwas three scratches just proves how strong the arm is.

Notsure if these responses actually help justify anything for you Carrot but I did my best. If I’m being honest myself, I don’treally consider these lingering questions plot holes becausefor me (and again this is only my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt fam) theseare questions that I don’t necessarily need answered in the show because theydon’t really affect the plot or my overall enjoyment of the season.

Asfor your last point, well I’m curious to see how the CRWBY handle that as wellbut I actually have confidence that they’ll pull it off. Up until this point Ihave had no real issue with any of the pacing in the episodes for this season.Everything has been moving pretty smoothly like a well-oiled machine, at leastfor me.

IfI had to guess, both the mecha fight and Adam fight will probably concludeofficially in C12 leaving the Kaiju battleas the only thing to focus on in C13. From the V6 C12 teasertoday, we can already see that Ruby is going to finish off Cordo by destroyingthe canon on her mechazord.

Theissue with this is that as soon as Cordo’s mecha goes offline, Argus will be leftmore or less defenceless from the Kaiju Grimm. According to what Jaune saidin C11, the mechazord was built to combat titan Grimm in deeper waters and itwouldn’t surprise me if General Ironwood only permitted one mechazord to the Atlesian Military branch stationed in Argussince its one small city with no real major threats that would require morethan one mecha fighter. Right now, Cordo just probably wasted the city’s one defenceon taking out her anger on an old huntress she has a grudge against along withsome huntsmen who were only trying to get to Atlas after she blanked them twice.

Notto mention that the Kaiju Grimm probably wouldn’t have been disturbed from itsdepths if it weren’t for all the commotion Cordo caused to the citizens in her barrage.Hate to say this but Cordo caused this attack on Argus and now, as of C12, Rubyis going to destroy the one weaponized part on the one weapon Argus has todefend itself from any major threats.

Good showCordo.

Butyeah, going back to what I saying before, I have faith the CRWBY Writers canpull off what they’ve set up for the V6 finale. The only thing I’m unsure aboutanymore is Oscar’sconfrontation with Ozpin.

Iknow the Ozpinheads have been anticipating their favourite Wizard of Light returning but at this point…I’m starting to wonderif we’re actually going to see Oz for the finale. If anything, I wouldn’t besurprised if we got mostly Oscar fighting on his own for the finale while Ozpinmight not show up at all. I know they made a Maya engine model for him as usedin the opening but unless Oz shows up randomly to Oscar in some after creditscene teaser for V7 then I’m not sure where the CRWBY will bring him in withoutit seeming too shoehorned in.

How are theygoing to fit in Ozpin’s return? At this point, I’m starting to think Ozpin mightnot be back for the finale. I could be completely wrong but this is myassumption. Having Oscar suddenly deep dive into his mind to get Ozpin during aKaiju battle might seem a little out of place at this point.

IfI’m being completely honest, I actually don’t want Ozpin to come back. Don’tget me wrong, I likeOzpin and I do want him to return atsome point however at this point in V6, I don’t think he’ll be back. At least not for thisvolume. They had many opportunities throughout the season where theycould have had Oz return but instead that wasn’t the priority and I reallydoubt they’d just have it randomly happenfor the finale episode. Again I could be very much wrong about this.

Evenif Oz miraculously showed up or Oscar gets to see him, I still feel like Ozpin’s isolation is way more serious than fans might think. This isthe first time in the history of RWBY where Oz basically quit.

It’snot just about Ozpin choosing to separate himself from his team. It’s alsoabout him literally giving up. Ozpin. Professor Ozpin. Headmaster ofBeacon. The man who has always maintained some sense of optimism andbelief in humanity, gave up. Oz technically shut himself away. Ozpin pulled aRaven Branwen. To me that’s too much a serious issue to just be resolved in the last episode of theseason without much real build up.

Onething I’ve found interesting is that every key fight we’ve gotten this seasonwith the whole team contributing has had Oscar in control. Even the Manticore and Sphinxfirst battle of the season had Oscar fighting on his own.

SoI’d hope this is continued for the finale. I actually want the V6 finale tojust have Oscarfighting without Ozpin. Have Oscar unlocking the might of theOz-cane and using it to his advantage without Ozpin’s intervention. Even if Ozmiraculously shows up, I hope it’s Oscar still in control when it’s time for him to fight.Not Ozpin.

Ifigured part of the main moral of V6 was to expose Ozpin of his true coloursand past while also creating an avenue for Oscar to regain his sense ofidentity and build him up as his own person, finding his own footing in theteam while learning to stand on his own in spite of what is expected to come ofhim in the long run. Oscar has been doing swimmingly on his own without Ozpin.

“…The willowdoesn’t need to learn to stand…”

Despitewhat the V6 opening alluded to, Oscar has been learning to stand on his ownfeet and I’ve been enjoying his integration into the group outside of Ozpin. Icould’ve used moreinsight into his backstory with his family. Still waiting on thatbut I’m assuming we’ll get to see Oscar’s full past once we delve deep into hismind because that’s where we’re going to find Ozpin eventually.

WhenOscar met the group back in Mistral, my one complaint is that it felt likeOscar was being isolated from the others---not really being allowed to form hisown bonds with the group outside of Ozpin and really make his own place amongstthe heroes. This volume changed that. 

We’re actually seeing Oscar shine in thisseason and I hope it continues that way for the finale. So I hope the Ozpinheads don’tget mad at me for saying this but…I don’t expect Oz to be back. Not now. Not yet. 

Besides Iwouldn’t want his return to be just tossed back in at the last minute likethat. I actually would love for the whole Oz isolation to be pushed into the Atlas Arc where it can be focused on more in depth and be properlyresolved. Not to mention that it will give us more seasons to get to know Oscarbetter. As a Pinehead,I’ll be happy with that but then again, this is only my opinion and what I’dlike to see. As I said twice before, I could be totally wrong in my assumptions. Only the CRWBY knows what’s in store going forward and I’m eagerto see what they got.
