Hello, everyone. Today, I am going to make a CRT in support of scaling Vine and the cast to the bomb on V8.
Here, you can see Vine successfully containing the bomb meant to destroy Mantle. Now, some will say that because Vine dies, this automatically disqualifies this from being a true feat. But I am here to disprove that claim.
First, Vine’s semblance, as implied by himself, is an extension of his aura. Aura is used to generate a force field around the body. He even recommends to Jaune to extend his aura out in the V7 montage. Thus, he is literally extending his own personal forcefield out for attacks and defense. This is supported by the World of Remnant, which states that semblances are projections of aura in a more tangible form.
Secondly, Vine can create this level of power at any time and not die. He is able to create a construct capable of containing the bomb at any point and still live. He could bubble something and be just fine. So already, he just straight up scales to the bomb just from that.
Some will point out that Vine still does nevertheless in the feat. However, he only does so because he lowers his personal shield down to do so. It is canon that using one’s semblance takes away from one’s personal shield. Thus, Vine’s personal protection was weakned by creating that bomb. So when he took the hit from the bomb, of course he would die. However, if he had laid all of his onto himself, he would have lived.
This leads to another counterpoint I want to address, which is Harriet stating that they would all die in the blast radius. This one is easiest to talk about. No normal person would feel confident about tanking any bomb at any level. And, as seen when Vine uses his aura to tank the bomb, to which Harriet and the others would scale to, they would have lived. This is honestly consistent when we already have most of the cast at 2 megatons from downscaling from Cinder breaking Ozpins’s shield, who CAN take the magic nuke. The maidens are considered superior to the main cast anyway, so Team RWBY scaling to this isn’t out of the blue.
There are also no statements to indicate that Vine’s arms are any more durable than his regular aura. Again, I point to the fact that Vine recommends Jaune to do the same thing in the V7 montage, showing that it is a learned trait, somewhat.
In terms of how this scales to offense, in a recent cameo, Miles confirms that aura is tied to the strength of the characters, basically allowing them to pull of Rule of Cool concepts
Thus, since Vine can use his aura in offense and defense, and since Yang and Blake have beaten him, they, and the rest of the Atlas class, should scale.
In terms of power, I am comfortable with putting them in the city ranges as of now, nearing towards the 10 megatons mark.
