* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Ozpin intended to recruit Team RWBY as his new enforcers of the likes of Team STRQ while Pyrrha from Team JNPR was the next candidate to become the Fall Maiden working directly under him. The Fall of Beacon resulted in the losses of Ozpin, Pyrrha and worldwide communication, effectively crippling the main line of defense against Salem. Because Ozpin's strongest allies are at different sides of the globe and Salem's existence is a global secret, he has to rely on his students and new host, Oscar Pine, to stop her. Although Team RWBY and JNPR are talented warriors for their age, they're still teenagers who were not able to complete their training and have very few allies to rely on.

* RuleOfSymbolism: The final fight sequence of Volume 6 is an intense and deeply personal grudge match, Blake and Yang vs. Adam Taurus. Gambol Shroud is shattered in half by Adam during the fight, but later Adam loses his own weapon courtesy of Yang and then a scramble for the shards of Blake's broken sword ensues. Blake and Yang get the shards first and they dramatically skewer Adam from the front and from behind, fatally wounding him. Much like with the Gambol Shroud, Adam caused the two girls terrible damage in previous encounters (stabbing Blake and slicing off Yang's arm, [[BrokenBird to say nothing of the psychological pain he's responsible for]]), but the two nevertheless overcome their traumas - and him - by working together.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Marrow struggles to accept increasingly ruthless orders, until he finally reaches his breaking point and tells both Ironwood and his team-mates exactly how he feels about their behaviour. Holding the city of Mantle hostage with a bomb causes Marrow to explode in outrage at their willingness to "do Salem's job for her". He calls them out for making excuses, accusing them of believing in nothing and railing against Ironwood for betraying the ideals Marrow believed they were fighting for. This rant nearly earns Marrow a bullet in the back from ''Due Process'', with Winter's intervention saving him from execution.

He's also angry over Beacon's fall, feeling Ozpin never listened to his advice. He therefore decides to seal up Atlas, preventing anyone coming or going and implies he'll take control of the entire kingdom if he has to. Jacques points out this is extreme, echoing Glynda's earlier observation that Ironwood struggles to trust people.

They are encouraged to put the protection of the people first and so remain independent from kingdom politics and hierarchies.
