RWBY weakness addition

You stole this from the Weiss vs. Mitsuru Death Battle episode, didn't you?

Yeah, I'm fine with this.
 
Problem with this, the actual show contradicts this. There are multiple examples of people using their Semblance without any Aura.

Volume 3: Blake is still able to make a clone after Adam breaks her Aura. This is after Adam stabs her, which means her Aura is already broken.

Volume 4: Qrow's Semblance is always active, it never turns off. His Semblane still works even when he's out of Aura, Ruby was almost crushed and Qrow still told her to stay away from him.

Volume: 5 Yang's Aura breaks after getting bit by an Ursa, yet she still activates her Semblance to finsh it off. Raven's Semblance lets her make portals to people she's close to. After her fight with Cinder, where we see her Aura break, she can still make a portal just fine.

Now we don't see it, but you can hear her create it.

Volume 6: Maria's Semblance is reflexes. This also works even without Aura, as she was able to cut off Tock's head with her weapons. Maria later says that she owes her life to her training and Semblance, which means she used reflexes to accurately cut off Tock's head.

RWBY is not the most consistent show, so this might change in the future. Just like how Aura use to be passive, yet now requires you to train it in order to become second nature.
 
Honestly i dont care anymore. You guys want to use blatantly incorrect information then go ahead.

Ive already explained dozens upon dozens of times why this is wrong.
 
Because people bringing up arguments and disagreeing is blatantly incorrect

I have a post coming up. One second
 
@Super Youve already been reported you know. I'd stop that effect of immediately if you'd like to stay here

"A warrior can also rely on their aura in a different manner, Semblance"

Besides Miles stated himself that Semblances is fueled by Aura?

The WoR literally outright states Semblances are a product of Aura

Yang runs out of Aura after using her Semblance on Adam

Tock runs out of Aura when she uses her semblance

Ren states he doesn't have enough Aura to hide everyone's presence on the train, so Jaune Amplfying his Aura made his Semblance stronger and last longer.

Emerald loses a portion of her aura when she uses her semblance in Coco in Volume 3.

Want more?

And yes I'm well aware there are moments where characters use their semblance despite their aura being down even though the show shows and states otherwise, but those are very clearly inconsistencies in a show that's been criticized since it's inception for being inconsistent.

And don't even get me started on the dozens of series moments where characters don't use their semblance in ideal situations after their aura is down.

Also, @Poin The other examples are true except for Maria, she likely relied on her hearing it to hit her.
 
I agree however I think we should wait till Volume 7 because as Miles has stated they did a shitty job explaining semblances and it's been confirmed that semblances will get a better explanation in Vol 7.

A mention being that it's not a retcon either surprisingly enough. Personally I find it incredibly hard to believe that they haven't noticed all of these instances. There's so many that in reality I believe it's just that we don't have the full picture to truly understand.

The semblance is reliant on aura however if we really think about it it's not like aura just "goes away" right? It breaks but it still replenishes with time.

In Volume 5 it was confirmed that different people have different rates of aura replenishing with Hazel's being the highest yet. So who knows perhaps a quick replenish is what allowed for a quick second use of a semblance?

Or Some semblances are so abstract that it makes no sense for them to be completely fueled by aura, example being Qrow.

I say since again confirmation for a better explanation coming in Vol 7 we wait for that happen.
 
I don't see how it's incredibly hard to believe

Aura isn't even the only inconsistent thing in RWBY, and by Miles's own admition, he has an awful memory.
 
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathOfTheAuthor

Death of the Author is a concept from mid-20th Century literary criticism; it holds that an author's intentions should hold no special weight in determining an interpretation of their writing. This is usually understood as meaning that a writer's views about their own work are no more or less valid than the interpretations of any given reader.
 
Death of the author is the idea that an artist's work takes on its own life when it's created and that the conclusions an author makes about it aren't inherently any more valuable than anyone elses (they can be better supported due to the author knowing most about the verse, but this is not the same thing). With regards to this site, it's the principle that what's actually shown in the media overrides WoG. Just saw this in recent wiki activity, gonna dip out of tje thread since I answered this question.

You can't just use "he has an awful memory" as reasoning for anything here. Especially considering he's a co-writer not the sole writer for RWBY.

Besides with what was just explained by Wokistan what was shown overrides WoG so it doesn't make much of a difference.

What's hard to believe is that they are ignorant about many of the inconsistencies, in fact they are likely very much aware of it. Miles has seen many critiques of the show and many YouTube videos about the whole thing and has commented on it.

He has said they explained it poorly previously and Semblances will explored more in Volume 7. Which really is what I think we should wait on so that we don't make two revisions back to back.
 
I don't mind waiting until Volume 7 before saying this is definitely one way or the other, but is it possible that we could just rule examples like Qrow's Semblance as exceptions rather than the rule?
 
That's what I think is going to end up happening. Some semblances do while others don't. Of course there's no evidence at the moment for this other than characters still using their semblance without aura.
