| Yang destroys the Big Nicholas & gets a flashback into Weiss' life... Jaune beats down the armoured knight with the buster sword...with some help from the sillies & Pyrrha. Ruby unleashes her secret power onto the nightmare, crippling Nega-Weiss, but Nega-Blake is still active... I think this may be the concluding episode...it didn't feel like a drag & covered point-to-point without weird skips either. Definitely my favourite episode in the dream sequence so far. (& watching it all unfold on Japanese TV was the cherry on top) This is my first ever time posting on a forum...I dunno what to expect below |
| @Animemes_Enjoyer you're keeping to the rules so it's fine. Just leave it to the veterans who know the rule book, unless you want to risk the softban. Negative Blake and Weiss going at it against each other while Ruby tries to subdue the Nightmare Grimm. Yang taking down Big Nicholas with a sudden transition into Weiss's flashback, and Jaune and the rest beating the armoured knight, it's a fight fest. The Nightmare is vanquished, and so is Weiss's inner psyche. But the problem now is Blake being possessed by Jaune's Nightmare, and extraditing it that marks for the very first time, Team RWBY working together, the Void_Chords OST and all that Shaft sakuga making a reappearance since the beginning of the anime to break out of the Ice Queendom dream sequence. Certainly this felt like a finale episode, so what is there left in the actual finale? |
 |
| Worst cgi project i have come across this year. |
| Now I wonder, if Nicholas Schee walked around with and armour, or is just Weiss vision. Walk around with an armour is cool. Was good to see Team RWBY fighting together after 9 episodes. Next episode will be great, now that Weiss is more relaxed. |
 |
| simply amazing work done this week suck it RoosterTeeth |
| Don't believe the hype. |

 |
| man this show is bad. it took like 8 episodes to finally get her out of that dream. I cannot remember a 12 episode anime that has had something last so long like this. |
 |
| They cranked animation to 11 this episode. The season might have started a bit bumpy, but they concluded the fight in the dream in great style. Ice Queendoom was a blast to watch, I think the final episode will be more lighthearted. |
 |
| This looked a bit better than average , yet some interesting frames showed up again |
| Weiss is finally free from the nightmare and as soon as she comes to her senses gets immediately embarrassed. Cute, and very on brand for Weiss. Some really neat shots this episode. And it was cool seeing team RWBY fight together. |
| I wonder what they're gonna do with the final episode while everything seems wrapped up. I'd be glad to end this already. |
| Yeah there was some pretty awesome sequences this episode. They definitely went all out for this action finale of sorts. Surprised by the sneaky reveal of sorts for Ruby's power there. It doesn't happen until S3 of the original and it is a significantly more impactful moment. Next episode is called best day every. I might be remembering wrong but I feel the first episode of S2 in the original had the same name. Maybe we're going to jump back there for the last episode. Tbh that would be pretty sweet if that one really fun sequence makes it into this version. |
| Finally ! When I first started to watch RWBY, I expected to learn more about the universe, characters, school and other "slice of life" stuff. Turns out most of the show was focused on Weiss' dream and we're eventually out of it. Now they only have 1 episode to... I don't know what they'll add, probably a casual day around a good meal with some good vibes, I suppose. |
 |
| I now know where all the animation budget went into xD Jokes aside, the battles in this episode were so so amazing!! Absolutely loved every second of it :D |
 |
| Not sure why Ruby's Silver Eyes worked in a dream especially since it's Weiss's dream and she doesn't know about this ability (nor Ruby herself). Maybe because she confronted the Grimm directly? Also I don't think the witters of this show knew about the White Fang story. |

| Wtf was that action sequence? It went from some really good cuts to some super choppy unfinished ones in the blink of an eye. Anyway I hope the last episode is a super speed recap of however many more seasons of the original RWBY shitshow there is. Just for a laugh. |
| Yang's bike sequences and some from the final boss battle seemed really amazing. Also, they finally bothered to use Ruby's eyes. Too bad they never foreshadowed it prior and using it in a climactic battle like that greatly reduces the impact of the battle. |
 |
The gang finally saved Weiss AND Blake. So this is where most of the budget went, other than the first 3 episodes. Great animation at the end with amazing soundtrack. That's a very Shaft thing to do. Well, I guess last episode serves as an epilogue or something.  |

| We finally get the resolution to the Weiss arc... and I love how Weiss's reaction is just pure embarrassment ^^ |
| Ok this episode was actually decent ngl. Sakuga was awesome. Must have had guest storyboarders |
 |
| >11:40 so gay I love it RWBY TENTACLE RAPE |
| Jaune just lost his wife and five daughters. Sad times truly, sad times man. |
My candy:  |
| And she's saved in this episode as I thought. The last episode's saved for an epilogue. Weiss's whole character changed though after she got out, the post credit scene was funny. |
 |
| bye bye weiss dream |

| Finally Weiss and Blake are free from all of that, it wasn't as exciting as I thought but it was nice to see the four of them fighting together after all they went through... lol Weiss' reaction, sorry but everyone is already aware of what happened xD Now up to the conclusion I guess. |
 |
| F*cking finally... Ep 11 should've been like ep 5 or 6 to be done and dusted. wasting 8 eps on the dream was just trash. ep 11 animation wise is good but this late, it doesn't even matter anymore. Hopefully next time they think about a more interesting plot points cause this one was a marathon to watch and bad as hell *DEAD*. |
   |
| Endless Eight was still worse. |
 |
_Redo_ said: finally, after this arc was dragged out and paced so slow... it's done. The episode was great with really awesome fight work but my word... thank christ the dream finally ends. |
| They really did a good job on the animation for that final fight. Also, we got to see ruby with her silver eyes, which was cool I guess. |
