Last time, we left off on some very unpleasant notes. Sun was the latest love interest to get smacked up, Qrow has slipped further into scorpionism, and the backstory episode concluded with what seems to be a very vicious Grimm heading for Jaune and Ruby.

Let’s get back into it.

RWBY, Volume 5.

It’s funny how people seem to remember Volume 4 as something of a memetically bad one, when all signs point to Volume 5 being RWBY’s second chance. It was a time when there was still enough investment in the show to perhaps save things, and it was still a household name. Volume 4 had not had any truly bombastic moments the way Volume 3 had, and a decent amount of effort had gone into proving that the quality of the show wouldn’t suffer without Monty (which a lot of people fell for). There was still a lot of good will resting with this show.

But alas, this is the Volume that destroyed this show. Make no mistake, although this isn’t the worst volume of RWBY—which alone is a fact that should raise some eyebrows—it is unmistakably what hit this show’s knees with sledgehammers. This volume was so infamously, unforgivably bad that it damaged RWBY’s brand beyond repair and would start the fandom exodus that the show never truly healed from.

We are now going to see how that happened, starting with not one, but three character shorts meant to build hype.
