Fridge / Weiss Reacts

Fridge Brilliance

• Of course God Knows would be the song Weiss and Ruby sing just before becoming the Official Couple. If one looks at the lyrics, Ruby was essentially making her Love Confession right then and there!
• Spiral Power and Personas are implied to have something to do with Aura. What do they all have in common? Soul Power.
• Andreas is derived from the Greek root for the word 'man'. Andreas is also Kamina. See a connection?
  • In fact, most of the Arcs have meaningful names- Aristomache, whose name means 'best in battle' and Alexander, 'protector of men'.
• The civ choices in Weiss Reacts to Civilization V:
  • Weiss picks Germany, best suited to quick domination victories later in the game and one of the easier ones to create The Empire with.
  • Jaune doesn't pick his civilization, Lucina does. She picks Japan, aka the civilization with a passive allowing them to fight at full strength despite being on low health.
  • Ren and Blake both pick science based civs- China and Babylon respectively. Fitting for the Magnificent Bastard and Gadgeteer Genius.
  • Yang picks the Mongols, who are good at dominating and sweeping across everything, exactly as Yang would do.
  • Latte picks Korea, another science-based civ with surprising military strength in the form of the hwach'a. Fitting for the Cute But Psycho bookworm.
  • Ruby picks Siam, a civilization best suited to any victory it pleases. Fitting for the casual gamer and the leader Ruby is.
• Tohru gets shoved into a cat costume and then a riceball 'costume' in the Halloween chapter- both things she's associated with.
  • Similarly, Pyrrha and Ren are dressed as a pirate and a ninja respectively. They're also opponents in antic-waging. Pirates vs. Ninjas, anyone?
• Tukson is an Expy of Lordgenome not just in appearance and demeanour, but in role; he's the Disc-One Final Boss to Glynda.
• Siegmund's Jormungandr versus Siegfried's Balmung. The World Serpent against the Dragonslayer of Wrath. It makes complete sense that both weapons would be so opposed.
  • On a metaphorical level, Siegmund is Fafnir- he is incredibly tyrannical, dragon-like- to the point of breathing fire- and Siegfried 'slays' him to take Weiss home.
• Jaune and Rook are not only linked in their roles (a Nice Guy who acts as the Love Interest to a skilled fighter with higher social standing), they even have contrasting Chess Motifs: Jaune's is the knight, one of the more strategic pieces on the board that jumps around to move, reflecting his nature as The Strategist while Rook's is the rook, a blunt piece that only goes in a straight line, reflecting his blunter, more practical nature as the Guile Hero.

Fridge Horror

• How did Yuko die in this universe? Considering how she died in her own series....
• How will the characters react to Penny, Pyrrha and Roman dying? They know full well alternate universes exist from the crossover with Lucina Reacts. The possibility that Pyrrha might die is not only not fiction to them, but an actual possibility that they were barely lucky to escape.
