very interesting story so far, too bad it currently ends at a cliffhanger, I like the fact that team RWBY seems to be casually throwing a wrench in all of Salem's plans especially with how the story basically treats what a keyblade is and what wielding one means in a sense... which is an incredibly ancient game changing power (basically lore accurate), wonder if they'll ever meet the Kingdom Hearts crew and if other Keyblade fighting styles will be implemented, while there is form change and the interesting take on keychains other than what it already does for a Keyblade I wonder if theres going to be something a kin to Drive forms of KH2 or even command Style something Aqua still uses... and the thought of flowmotion probably would be busted because the whole team would be insanely mobile

This bit came from another anime, barebones name, Reborn as a magic sword.
The Premise, more or less, is that the Isekai becomes a magic sword,
saving anthro human's from a slaver, and one such character was the protagonist,
the Isekai becomes a teacher and family of... a Neko-girl named Fran.
Fran started it out with basic gear, going through one more set before,
her signature protagonist clothing was made.
The species in the story, depict the Neko as free-spirited and agile.
in the second to last cutscene, of the season-1 finale,
the Isekai demanded why the Frans outfit showed no "protection"
for her stomach area, even with an oversized belt in the way.
The belt, was enchanted to withstand excessively strong brute force when hit.
So, enchanted item's ARE a thing, even if looks like an ordinary accessory on the side.
Fashionable accessories for sale anyone?
We got your ribbon's and belt buckle's and shoes,
perhaps even a 'keychain' if you like that sort of thing.
The way of the Blacksmith, is accessorize to fight.
Tiny little marking's can be etched into certain material,
and the PATTERN of said marking's can, evidently possess certain qualities,
that can strengthen particular aspect's of those, who equip the item in question,
just by wearing it casually, as a part of their daily attire.
Gloves of power increase, Shoes of agility increase, to be simplistic.
How many zipper's were on Rubies traveling outfit after the fall of beacon?
How many zipper's were on Blakes' Volume-7 outfit?
What was that band/cloth thing Yang had when she stopped at that roadside mini-mart,
where she met the, literally named, Shay D. Man?
(No seriously one of the official RWBY Wiki's says so on his name)
Something small, and unassuming,
can literally pack a real punch, if you know the in's and out's of Craftsmanship.

Its a shame what happened to Adam Taurus, he went from interesting to being a sadistic ex-boyfriend with way too much skill and time and wasted it all on some shitty kitty.
I like how you made this because not only is Cinder fucked from the get go, she basically did all that to find out RWBY has all of the powers she wanted and the maiden now out of reach.

Well, if you think about it, the heart of Te Fiti that Maui stole would literally be the heart of that world without that heart, the entire world swallowed by darkness since she was the deity who created that world.

Yeah, no. You ain't gonna win Cinder. And the keyblade didn't choose you, cause you have no light in you.

Anyone else get a Dumbledore 2.0/McGonagall 2.0 vibe from Ozpin/Goodwitch?
I couldn't help but notice the similarities between the characters. Ozpin has a very all knowing feel to him, always knows what is going on and feels he has to protect the children from the war even though we know they can handle themselves fairly well. I also get the feeling that he himself will only step in when things get really bad.
As for the Goodwitch and McGonagall comparison, they both have that very stern exterior but you can almost feel how much they actually care. I don't know maybe I am just grasping at straws here.
My Opinion on where Ozpin stands
Time and time again I've seen people be divisive about Ozpin - Either he's some monster manipulating people, or he's a goody two shoes and all his actions are justified.
Personally, I believe the following:
Ozpin has years of knowledge behind him. He has seen life pass and has no qualms about sending people into their death if it means humanity gets a fighting chance.
He knows exactly what to say and how to say it in order to convince people to follow his ways.
His teaching method at the academy was fairly brutal, allowing pimpsqueaks with minimal training and no aura like Jaune to get in. He doesn't exactly take the carebear approach and cherish all life.
He does not cherish all life, he has a cause and wants people to follow it so that the grimm can be defeated.
He's also a genuine idiot. He had all the relics at one point, but despite their power, didn't use them to stop Salem... To then decide to seal them away and give his power to 4 random mortals who can access the relics whose powers will randomly be passed on forever with no fail-safe should they fall into evil hands. Eventually, he chose three headmasters to guard the vaults and as far as we can see, one of them is a paranoid control freak who's far too confident with himself, and the other was an utter coward with no regard to killing off hundreds of huntsmen just to appease Salem. Terrible judge of character.
Despite his methods, all of the people he "coaxed" into saving the world were adults who willingly accepted one way or another. The ones bitter about it (Raven) are likely upset because he "keeps things close to the chest", only spit out a half truth before turning them into birds, and thus put a permanent mark on Raven's back who didn't want to be a part of it anymore after finding out the whole truth.
In the end, his goals are in favor of saving humanity and letting go of his curse. He keeps secrets because this way he has more control over who follows his agenda and to avoid secrets being unnecessarily revealed to the enemy.
He's an 'ends justify the means' type of good guy, while also being fairly dumb.
Oz’s a failed “Chosen One”. A paragon that’s gone through unimaginable grief and suffering yet still persists and is still mostly upright in terms of morals and ideals. Even when finding out that there was no way for him to destroy Salem he still tries to keep her back. He may have not had a plan to beat Salem, but I’m sure he was ready to stall her destroying humanity for as long as he could while still letting people enjoy themselves to their fullest. His experience is a great benefit but also shown to be his Achilles’ heel since it’s left him with a significant lack of trust in those closest to him due to all of the betrayal he’s gone through.
The way I see it, Oz is on the wrong foot of losing his war against his ex-wife Salem. Salem has brought the silver-eyed warriors to the brink of extinction, has made the Grimms have almost the entire territory of the planet to themselves, has developed a method to steal the magic of others (grimm parasite), has created hybrid eyed warriors Silver Plated-Grimm (Hound of volume 8), has cut communications between kingdoms, already has a plan to end the forces of Oz for good. Oz has made the following mistakes that have cost Remmant and his people too much, such as: -Gift most of his magical powers to 4 people without having a method to make sure whoever inherits them is trustworthy or get them back. -Hidden too much crucial information even from his closest allies -He has made Remmant too dependent on his guide and if something happens to him the line of command is almost broken. -He has been too focused on finding a way to destroy Salem that he has not thought of other ways to permanently defeat her such as sealing her, locking her in a pocket dimension (the vaults) or launching her into outer space. My theory of how the Dust originated are 3: -They are a fossil fuel that originated from the remnants of Remmant's first magical humanity. -They are the remains of the moon charged with the magical energy of the god of darkness -They are the crystallized accumulation of magic energy that is in the environment or Remmant's magic ley lines without using it. On the origin of the Aura it seems like a combination of reinforcement and protection spells plus a specialized spell (Semblance).
Oz as leader resembles a fusion of Dumbledore's (Harry Potter) manipulations and information concealment, Celestia's incompetence (MLP), treating others as replaceable chess pieces like Magneto (X-Men). For example, Oz did not place a single selection mechanism to the power of the maidens in dying (spoilers if each and every one of them appeared), he made Remnant dependent on the hunters and the Atlas troops, he kept exaggeratedly secret information from Salem that he could have used for strategies, Beacon had a hideous computer security system and to top it all he entrusted the fate of the human and Faun race to kids with quirky fashion senses and weapons bigger than their own bodies. I also don't know how Oz didn't think of sealing Salem, throwing her into space or better yet a black hole, locking her in a pocket dimension or a way to permanently eliminate the Grimms, had the relic of destruction could have used it to strip Salem of his army of Grimms but foolishly decided to hide it like the other relics. But the point is that I say, if I had a coin for every time ozpin wasted an opportunity to destroy salem and / or the grimms would have enough to buy me a pizza.

will RWBY got to others worlds if so can you adapt Organization XIII including Xehanort and Anime Seeker Of Darkness and The Foretellers including The Master Of Masters and Luxu out of Red Like Roses and make and keep Maleficent, Pete and The Disney Villains Council as the main villains of Red Like Roses.

The fact that she passes the Keyblade to everyone she meets is very annoying. So, the first two people she gave them to are the ones who annoy me the most. Keyblade transfer doesn't work that way. Obviously you are going to get some stupid Cinder to get the power of Keyblade in some way, while pretty much all villains have never gotten Keyblade so easily. Even minor characters from KH like Hercules, Cloud, Leon and others who are more worthy of this power than Yang, Weiss and Blake have never received the Keyblade. Annoys.

Mmmm, I'd really advice not to often use summaries for things happening in this story, as it can make the story feel really rushed and boring as it's basically just going "oh this happened and that happened" without us actually experiencing it. I understanding why you're using them, but doing often can ruin the experience, especially with skipping so much like the entirety of Team RWBY's otherworldly adventure. For the new appearances of the girls, I'm just gonna use volumes 7 and 8 as the reference for now since they looked awesome in there, until you can actually give a proper reference, of course with Blake's hair not cut though. Keep it up and see you next time!
