2024-11-18 18:28:16 +0000 UTCSo the weapons & faces we see are Penny's sword, Alyx's dagger, Summer's axe. The Blacksmith is very ambiguous, but remember the butterfly wing. The Jabberwalkers were created by Neo, that's why there were more than one. I do wonder if since they were created by her & not the real Jabberwalker, does that mean what they consume can't ascend? Or because they're not the real one, it doesn't count. You are right that Ruby is stuck in "freeze" mode. She was so young to have the world thrown onto her shoulders. The failure & loss breaking her, causing her to be unsure of herself as a whole. Jaune's reveal broke my heart 😭 we all suspected it but seeing the broken sword & then calling his partner "Juniper" for his team was sad. Then he took his helmet off you see his long hair held back with Pyhrra's ribbon piece, his gray hair & aged face. Somehow he was here for decades that he is now an older man. A broken man alone for all those years.

2024-11-16 19:06:03 +0000 UTCI had been somewhat spoiled about old Jaune (I saw a screenshot once with his new design), but damn, he looks as old as Ironwood. I really like the blacksmith's design, it really feels like Radagon from Elden Ring, but a lot more like a puppet. In fact, I love how this arc allows more creative designs for characters. They really did a great job at bringing out the fact that it's a fantasy land that doesn't follow the same rules as Remnant. There's still the question of why that world is so different, but I'm going to guess that it was simply another experiment by the Gods.

2024-11-16 19:04:17 +0000 UTCI really love the Blacksmith as a character. Her visuals and context are somewhat terrifying, but her words and voice are gentle and soothing. "Are you her guide, little one?" The Cat continues to say informative things, even if "exposition is boring and this conversation on the whole has been tedious" lol. Almost everything he says here will be referenced later. Neo's involvement is signalled by the way the first Jabberwocker breaks down in that pink crumble pattern similar to Neo's. You called Jaune right away, even before all the tells preceding his turning around (his armor, broken sword, mount's name being "Juniper" after his old team, the bit of red ribbon in his wolf tail). He also has white streaks in his hair and age lines under his eyes... he's been here a LONG time. Ruby has always tried to protect her friends but lately she's been failing. She even gives up Summer's Rose emblem ("a mother's promise"), her most prized possession along with her weapon, to get the final ingredient to restore her friends. She's been stripped down to nothing and still hasn't processed her own grief. You are both right about Ruby always pressing forward, never processing the anguish she was experiencing and what it might mean and even how she feels about herself. The others did some of that hard work already. Ken's point about her bonds giving Ruby strength as much as she gave others hope and strength -- yes, and now Penny's death (based on Ruby's plan) makes her scared that any future decisions might hurt or kill her other friends too.
