Awesome / The RWBY Loops

Go To

  • In a variant loop (11.18), the Faunus are dumped en masse into an abandoned city. It's made clear that this should be a death sentence. Blake, however, decides against that; a little over a year later, she becomes Queen of a Nation. By vote. It was close to unanimous. Meaning almost every faunus in that loop wanted her to be their queen.
    Ruby: You know, in my spare time I reforge Crescent Rose. Blake founds nations when she's bored.
  • The Vampires inside of Cinder's Subspace Pocket. With a few million years of work, immortality, and an ever swelling populace, they've come to develop a set of fully functioning governments that maintain autonomy inside of what is otherwise a small subdimension of Remnant.
  • To a certain degree, the conclusion of Tale of Two Sisters, when it's not being Heartwarming. Ruby is facing down her adoptive evil sister who is on the cusp of godhood, and she talks her down. The fight for Cinder Fall's isn't a Grand spectacle of violence, but it ends with a hug, and tears. A true repudiation of Salem, and validation of Ozpin's belief that victory lay within a simple, honest soul.
  • A sober Qrow is an unstoppable force, Looper or not. In one of Ruby's early pre-volume 4 loopsnote , she started as a young child, and was weighed down emotionally enough to confide in her non-looping uncle the truth of herself and those she knows who will suffer. Qrow simply puts down his drink and steps out of the house. And over the course of Ruby's life, redeems Roman and Neo into becoming extended family, introduced Blake and Weiss to the sisters (making them friends and sidestepping all their usual drama), and ensuring none of Cinder's schemes would come to fruition.
  • When Sun Wukong started Looping, Roman decided to take him under his wing. The first thing Roman did to Sun was throw him into a volcano, and explained that Sun should expect death at every turn. It all went downhill from there, until Sun started expecting death at every turn, and became nigh unkillable.
  • Cinder (and by extension a writer) correctly intuiting that Raven Branwen was the Spring Maiden weeks in advance, even though every sign had supposedly pointed to Vernal.
  • Weiss eventually mastered her Jedi Force powers to such a high degree that she began to discover hack ways of mimicking them in Null Loops (for the uninitiated, Null Loops are Loops where outside universe powers are prohibited.)
  • Using his Subspace Pocket, Roman made a bet with the brother gods that he could be a better deity than them. He succeeded, and by the time baseline rolled around thousands of years later, Remnant had Lunar colonies. Roman got some swanky immortality out of that.
