16:33 The Cat vs Jabberwalkers

I appreciate you doing these timestamps, I have to skip the episode 8 fight because I still can’t watch that episode again

Don't forget that bird too!

Jewby😂

Honestly, you really have to hand it to Neo in Volume 9. Not only did she completely break Ruby's spirit and her own, but she went on to destroy both of the Brothers' first creations that are older than any being on Remnant. The girl is an absolute wrecking ball to everything throughout the Ever After.

I'm hoping neo ends up getting a spin-off of her own and her adventures in the ever after. There's so many anchors to explore and was hoping we could see them all. Plus it would be better if she was accompanied by somewhat and juniper even though she killed little 😅

@@Yashieyama She honestly does, especially since her Semblance can be used in SO MANY WAYS. She has the summoning capabilities of the Schnee’s, along with the ability to trick people and disguise easily like Emerald, and the ability to dodge attacks like Blake.

@@Yashieyama I think Neo will more likely reappear in some crazy clutch way towards the end of the series having finally made peace with everything after tree therapy time. Wouldn't be surprised if she was the one to kill Cinder.

​@@thewalrus45 would be nice but I want jaune to have that pleasure

​@@Akashi_no_ikari just let Jaune, Ruby and Neo stab her at the same time, lol. They all deserve to do it.

Seeing Ruby finally do her whirling, zipping thing with Crescent Rose again was the best reward for her overcoming her inner turmoil.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess... For me, seeing her actually _grow_ would have been more rewarding, instead of just returning to the status quo. A status quo where, by the way, her doubts are *perfectly justified* because SHE WAS RIGHT ABOUT NOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH (as evidenced by them losing every city they go to and try to defend).

​@@Thescott16um That's what her "dying" and coming back is about. We'll just have to see if her outlook and prospective in things really did change. You are making an early judgment call.

@@KijoSamhain No I'm not... If you'd paid attention you know the whole lesson the smith-mother teaches Ruby while she's in the tree is, "You're fine the way you are." Which she clearly _ISN'T_ since she's lost *almost every major battle* she's fought, while the battle she won was not her doing (it was the Faunus standing up to the White Fang and Raven beating Cinder, Ruby wasn't even there for that), and now 2/4 human capitols have fallen. Her self-doubt was justified, and the clichéd lesson RT decided to go with was the wrong one for the situation because it's factually incorrect. If they'd done something more along the lines of "You can figure it out for yourself" or "You already know the answer" that would be different, because that leaves room for her to think for herself and grow herself.. But they didn't do that; they went with "You're fine the way you are", which is incorrect.

​@@KijoSamhain Read what you typed, then read what I typed again... Particularly the bit at the end. I didn't miss the point, I'm the only one here who got the point since I very literally said they _SHOULD_ have done what you said they did, but they _didn't actually do that AT ALL._ The whole point of giving a character a self-reflecting epiphany is to make them question what they were and be inspired to change; telling a character "You're find the way you are" is the opposite for a character like Ruby. That's not motivating her to change; it's instruction to remain the same. I know as a long-time (I'm assuming) RWBY fan you've probably been subsisting on copium in regards to the writing and story so you can make it from sweet fight scene to sweet fight scene, so I'm going to be patient with you (I was once there too for a while, it takes one to know one). But I recommend dropping the copium, you're only excusing mistakes and sloppy production that keep preventing RWBY from being great instead of just good. In this instance you're confusing what's really there, with what you _think_ is there or _want_ to be there. You're operating on an assumption and inserting that assumption as true. But here's the thing; good writing doesn't rely on assumptions for character development. Questions or problems arise, solutions are offered and discussed, and a path is chosen. No room should be left for the viewer to have to assume things to fill in any blanks. Worst case scenario at this point is that you turn out to be right. While you may think that's some rando on the internet being petty, take a moment to think... Because if you turn out to be right about this, then it means RT has actually gotten even _worse_ at writing characters on a technical level.

Remember when Team RWBY and JNR had their first job with the Ace Ops? Remember how impressed they were that they didn't need to plan out their attacks and were completely in sync? Team RWBY has now achieved that. They are no longer individuals fighting for their own reasons. They are a true team.

Yep

I would like to see more of their teamwork against other characters like tyrian and mercury. Even Salem or cinder

Volume 9 redeemed so much of the story for me, like it feels like after everything there’s been major improvement especially the fight scenes. Nice to see Weiss doing more than summoning, more cool combos, Blake and Yang, just so much of this volume has been so amazing

ALSO JUST NOTICED WEISS AND YANG USING THEYRE OLD COMBO AND BLAKE USING DUST WITH HER SEMBLANCE AGAIN

@@jericlubag9121 Blake has already been using dust with her semblance for a long time. We've seen her pop an ice clone against those faunus twins back in V5, and then an ice clone, fire clone and a lightning clone during a grimm chase in V7, and then an ice clone again against the big centipede grimm.

You know despite how short the fight was, story is still very amazing and fight scenes was still very memorable. 🌹❄️🐈‍⬛☀️

Ok so the rose is ruby, snowflake is Weiss, cat is Blake, the black cube is Jaune? The sunflower Yang? Or did I missed something

@@williamrojas6371 Yes Ruby is rose, Weiss is snowflake, Blake is black cat, and Yang is sunflower . But I didn’t put Jaune so, Basically he is shield🛡️

I absolutely love how Ruby finally overcame her despair and helped her friends defeat the Cat, though I was hoping for a Semblance evolution from her but overall it was so cool.

There was a slight one with the dodge to mid air shot move she busted out, that’s the shortest distance and most control she’s displayed with it so far

@@stevenkurtz2730 It doubtlessly was.

if you look carefully during the final Cat fight, she has reddish outlines from where Crescent Rose was when she swung. that might've been some sort of evolution of her Semblance, or just a visual effect.

@@iridqe Could you place the spot when it happens

@@Fandom_Gigi 15:26 ish to 15:28

Those fight scenes were awesome in this season. My favorite ones are the chessboard fight and the final battle

Same

Yep

Same here.

A tiny detail that I absolutely love from this seasons is seeing each of them beginning to respect and accept their comrades fighting style because now they know they compliment each other. In this season, whenever a fight is about to start they would always look at each other, whereas in the few seasons before this, they sometimes never bothered to. It's even more apparent in the Mini-Chess episode where the 3 of them looked to Ruby for guidance because now they accept the fact that she's most likely the one who can think creatively and accept the flaws of her comrades to turn those flaws into something of a synchronized team.

this volume really took me back to vol 2 where team rwby fought as a unit and it made me so happy,,, like at 12:10 we havent seen this freezerburn move in forever 😭😭

Thanks for leaving the scenes with The Blacksmith in before the final fight! It adds to the buildup of that awesome last fight ❤

Build up is very important!

I CANT BELIEVE ITS OVER FOR NOW!! At least we have the OST to look forward to

Bruh out of all the volumes, 9 is loaded with songs I can just listen to repeatedly. I'm just waiting for the release date.

The OST has not been slapping for me since Volume 7. I have more pop-fizzy tunes to remember from that volume, than 8 and nine. Hero drives me bonkers

I need those lyrics!

It's over? No season 10?

@@weirdmyst7963 probably, if just for closure...

10:25 I like how Jaune is the only one who did not take his eyes off of Neo Cat. Lessons learned from vol.3

Which part of vol 3 ? Too old for me to remind myself:c

@@adrien4269 When the spring maiden got got in the vault

This fights have some of my favorite shots of all rwby such as 3:02 and 15:18 . They did phenomenal job 🤩

You know what, I want that shot of Ruby commissioned in oil to put on my wall.

It's nice to see how they seem to finally find the right balance in their battle scenes. Part Monty's style of battle animation. That feeling of weight and momentum he always uses. And part the anime style battles they had been using since his passing.

finally seeing ruby fighting in the fast rwby style fighting animation since like volume 3 made me so happy

Ruby might have only gotten one fight scene this Volume, but God was she cool in it.

Love how fast you uploaded this video. Despite being short, the fight scenes were well-choreographed and fast-paced and I love how Team RWBY ganged up on the Curious Cat in the end.

Volume 10's gonna be so freaking hype after that finale! See y'all at the next judgement day huntsmen! 🤠

well, if they have enough budget and their staff return it will be possible. but right now rooster teeth not on a good state.

@@RaykinaBreakerI believe RT is doing just fine budget wise. Volume 10 has been confirmed for a while ircc, and RWBY being one of their biggest properties, I doubt that it’s going anywhere, especially with the DC crossover movie. If you mean in terms of quality that’s absolutely your opinion, can’t say much to that.

@@starkisama3473 RWBY is their *only* property. All their other animations are either canceled or ended. Although, I wouldn’t mind another season of Ice Queendom.

@@RaykinaBreaker your comment is so negative, you should go to the tree pffttt

They haven’t greenlighted the season as of now so only drafts are being made

So happy with these fight scenes, I really think these ones are finally gonna hold up when revisited, they already re-impress me. It's been a while since RWBY fight scenes have felt this satisfying for me.

6:52 Something I noticed is that when Yang used her semblance, her eyes turned orange instead of red. Makes me wonder if her semblance is evolving, or perhaps this can be symbolic of her moving on from individuals that haunted her whose colors were red (Adam&Raven).

This Volume had amazing fights! Soundtrack was lit as well. I'm glad they finally added some flips again for our protagonists! It was kinda boring only seeing Cinder and Neo make use of them

this volume has BY FAR my favorite fights in the entire series! From the chess fight, to both the neo jabberwalker fights, TO RUBYS RETURN WITH RED LIKE ROSES PART 3 PLAYING, they all are some of the best fights we've ever had in my opinion

The tea party is still triggering “I’m trying to save everyone” hits so hard 😢😢😢

The fights this volume were a treat and liked the focus on team battles this time, been too long since RWBY fought truly as a team and their synergy especially in the final battle was a delight.

i remember watching the season finale for the first time. hearing the red like roses melody play after not hearing it for years instantly made me start tearing up a bit

Oh man The choreography on that final fight is reaching Monty levels of amazing That was amazing

It's unbelievably wild to me that it took them 10 years to write a fulfilling character arc for their protagonist lol

Only to completely go back on it at the end

12:12 It was nice to see them use FreezerBurn again, it's fun to see them harkening back to the second season and using those old combo moves

Man the fight scenes of this volume was too good! The final fight and the chess fight were my favorite ones.

Nice to see that Ruby finally finds herself being her own hero.

Seeing Ruby fight the Cat made me so happy. Glad she’s back to her old self now

15:17 Imagine if it causes a shockwave with a crater caused by the clash between Ruby and Curiosity Cat

Honestly with all the emphasis on that attack, that should’ve happened. As an animator and a newcomer to rwby this fight while better than the ones in V8 is only good. The fight is a bit hard to follow at points due to it being a tad too fast, Monty had fast fights but had enough restraint to know when to slow down so that you knew what was happening, the sfx should’ve been better and more meaty making some of the hits feel a bit hollow and that final hit with all the girls in their colours should’ve had more emphasis and time to breathe, without either the shot feels like any other hit in the fight. Because of all these factors the fight feels a bit weightless. I would’ve slowed down the fight a tad bit and added more moments of downtime and with the final hit I would’ve made rby(Ruby, Blake, Yang) fall back down onto a glyph than cut to weiss preparing a glyph beneath herself then as they all prepare to jump their colours fade onto them as the background turns red(though a darker shade than ruby so that she doesn’t blend in) as they jump and at the moment they land their strike we get some slow mo and when the cat hits the ground he is in an actual hole and not just around a bit of debris. Not saying this to discredit the animators who probably put their heart and soul into this, I’m just saying that this fight, alongside the rest of this volume(meaning story, themes and overall animation) could’ve been better.

Literal chills hearing red like roses again, felt like I was a kid again watching the first red trailer !

The cat was unexpectly an unhinged great villain

This season has many of my favourite fight scenes in the series :D thank you for uploading it so quickly XD

Bro I am so excited for the soundtrack to be out. The songs went SO HARD this Volume.

beautifully done. edit to each really show the off the Choreography they put into this volume and more.

I loved the callbacks to some of the earliest music in this chapter, like Red like Roses, and This Will Be The Day

11:19 look... maybe it's the fact that Jaune is my favorite character, but in the fight against NeoCat, he showed a lot of skill (being hit only once). this shows that Jaune has acquired exuberant strength and skill in these 20 years in Ever after (but due to his traumas with Alyx/Pyrrha/Penny, he was unable to demonstrate his full strength.) now that he has returned to his youth and seems with peace, he may have a lot to demonstrate. I'm looking forward to seeing Jaune have a moment of glory.

Really love this volume! So glad that everyone got to settle out their problems, including Neo and Ruby. And now, their next big move is to find the rest of team JNPR, Oscar and Winter in the next volume!

15:58 that scene right there was my favourite out of all the fights the chess fight is a close 2nd but that scene with them all in a aura state was stunningly good

Omg!! Ruby is finally back in action!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Yeees!!!!! Les gooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The chestboard fight and RWBY vs Ultimate Curious Cat were the best out of this volume. Great improvement since last volume.

15:11 RWBY vs the Cat was EASILY my favorite fight

I love the Cheshire cat's depiction as a Bakeneko! Simply beautiful.

Yang has gotten a lot better at using her Semblance mid-fight, not just as a finisher.

What a Journey this series has been, just watched the final episode with my Sister and looking forward whenever Volume 10 rolls out. Also Chess Fight and Final episode where Team RWBY fight Curious Cat are my favorite in this Volume.

Short, but sweet volume. Glad to have Ruby with her satisfying fighting methods back!

THANK YOU for putting this together!

EX Skills 3:01  Team Attacks 3:11 5:16 15:51

Ever since akechi robbie will always be my favorite voice actor Bro just dubs villains way too damn well Also 15:11 fast paced rwby fights are maybe back? Please tell me they are. Im starved of fast paced combat since v3

To honest I watch this volume but didn’t pay attention the epic fighting scenes. But I’ve must admit I’m very impressed right about now🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Its been a week about two and i still cant get over that final fight

RWBY vs. The Curious Cat was a return to form I was not expecting to see. Monty, you watching this?

There was still a lot of battles in our detour adventure And Ruby comes in with the exp share still getting all the exp from all her team's battling

Thanks for leaving that bit before RWBY vs Cat in. IMO the most powerful lines of this entire volume there at 14:19-14:28

Can we get a video of just Jabberwock moments. I love its audio and voice design

Minor gripe but i really dont like how bumblebee gets to be the only ones using real teamwork with each other in most of these fights like i wanna see yang and ruby do something cool together too

This honestly hurt Ruby was psychology broken down by the image of the people she let down, was physically beaten down, forced to see her kill her friend, betrayed by someone she trusted, lost a friend after being told she wasn't meant to save anyone and basically commited suicide. This honestly hit hard especially as someone who wanted to end themselves at some point

I love last fight what a awesome fight

some of the best fight sequences in the series yet!!! I love the chessboard fight so much

Volume 9 has few fights but there are all awesome, and with the soundtracks it was a banger

I cannot wait for the full season soundtrack to come out

Blake and yangs choreography got so good this volume

The fight scenes are music are still the best part of this show... Which is both great, and sad.

Volume 8 Finale: Why can’t Ruby fight as well anymore. We’ve seen Qrow scythe fight well, why can’t she? Volume 9 Finale: Thise snitches knew what they were doing!

One of the best fight scenes in the whole show was the heroes beating up a cat

I miss the old fights. These days its so underwhelming

my one complaint about the last fight with RWBY vs the cat is when they glow their colors. wish the order would've been red white yellow black idk if it's just me but still absolutely loved this season and is definitely worth the crunchyroll subscription

I just watched the chess fight scene again and holy crap would it be super brutal if dealing with other creatures. CRWBY must have wanted to let the team use their weapons as they should actually work on a quasi-humanoid opponent without having to animate gore. The chess piece Yang detonates appears to have disintegrated. Blake cuts off the arm of at least one opponent. *Weiss cuts a piece in half like she was felling a tree.*

Can’t wait for the the OST! “Trapdoor” is gonna be my go to track. 😆

Who directed the final scene, that was amazing

16:33 "Looks Like Meat's Back On The Menu, Boys!"

Can we talk about how Yang threw that big as rock at the Jabberwalker ONE-HANDED

Very interesting choreography in many fights of this season indeed! Not to mention the story that finally starts to connect itself. Despite the vanishing of vibe of the first seasons, RWBY certainly is discovering a new, unique style for the show. Many thanks to the teams that made this season possible.

13:21 Curiosity Cat: "This isn't even my Final Form!"

Coming back from the ever after Jaune must have had more than like 5+ years of experience, not just in fighting but other aspects aswell. Hope he will get to show his skill in later seasons

Now we just need the old transformation animations back and we're good to go!

Rooster Teeth's CRWBY has continuously really grown to understand what makes up the essence/spirit of RWBY fights from the old days. They've seriously come an extremely long way since the rough transition of Volume 4 🙏🏿.

Ruby has been un-nerfed!!! The swinging of Crescent Rose reminds me of her in the Volume 1 trailer

My favorite fight scene in RWBY V.9 is RWBY vs Chess Pieces and Ruby vs Neo Illusions!!! BUT MY PERSONAL FAVORITE ONE IS TEAM RWBY (JAUNE) VS CURIOUS CAT!!!!

Despite how short the fights were, I’m glad they did some justice to weiss’ fighting style. Like actually using her sword as a sword rather than a magic wand

I have missed this so much❤❤❤

Damn that was quick. A fight scene compilation already

I really wanted a rematch between Yang and Neo

Ya know its crazy to think about but this volume had a lot of fights/action. Episodes 1,3,5,7,8 and 9/10.

This was one of the best Volumes of RWBY.

I like that before they begin fighting Cat-Neo, Jaune keeps his eyes on the cat, even when everyone else turns to Ruby in her calcified state including the Cat himself. It seems Jaune’s time in the Ever After might’ve greatly enhanced his fighting instincts, and may have even helped him surpass his friends in fighting ability, but I’ll have to see more before I’m certain.

Are you kidding me? See more? Boy was smooth. With ONLY sword and shield this guy killed two jabberwocky With only the grav dust outside of mundane armaments. And when he's fighting the cat at the end At the very least him and ren are on the same level now Ren speed and techniques with a small pool of combat stamina Jaune experience and massive aura pool but smaller weapon pool and techniques

@@taipao6661 Well, they gave us plenty, don’t get me wrong, but I just need to see more of Jaune’s growth. He overpowered Cat-Neo completely when fighting one-on-one when nobody else could lock him down, but I really wanted to see more of how much he’s improved, without the aid of Juniper or anything like that, and I feel like I just saw too little of my favorite boy casually kickin ass man.

I mean, last time he took his eyes off the target, it got three people killed by Cinder.

@@NeonAnt Also true…

​@@taipao6661 Jaune's been stronger than Ren since V4. V7-V8 and especially now cements that now. At the most he's Neo level now.

love how they stopped turning weiss into a too much of a glyph magician (volume 8 made her relly on her semblance too much...)

I love the way they close up on Ruby’s silver eyes when she emerges from the tree. It’s so cool. I’ll try and find the time stamp. 14:58

Blake vs the real jabberwalker would’ve been a good one on one fight.

Despite the cat lying and dying at the end I can't help but feel sorry him

can say i'll miss him.

We FINNALLY Got our Team RWBY❤🤍🖤💛 BACK AT ITS 100% OF POWER with the return of our favourite RED RIDDING HOOD SILVER EYED LEADER 🔴⛏️🌹 .

You just had to include the whole sequence of Ruby finally accepting herself, did you not? ;) Even for a "All fight scenes" video I would've done the same, honestly.

The devil works fast but I'mStrange works faster

Who's to say I'm not the devil??

@@ImStrange_ I mean I've never seen you both in the same room

You know it's not exactly what I wanted for a ruby to have a 1 on 1 fight with someone but Hey This fight with the curious cat Was a lot better than her fighting neo By herself

So it's like there's the least amount of time fighting out of any volumes, including ones that aren't all that much longer but the general fight quality is probably the best it's ever been.

2:31 its fast but if you slow the video down to .25 speed you can catch an arm going through yangs head
