When each side only has Half of the Answer...
Looking back over Volumes 6 and 7, something I feel is pretty interesting is how Ozpin and Ironwood are effectively painted as two sides of the same coin by the narrative when it comes to their strengths and flaws.
For Ozpin, no matter how much insight he had on the human condition and how his humanist ideologies of compassion, understanding and empathy, and how much he wanted to help all of humanity, I think it’s pretty clear that his actual idea of how to deal with Salem was very much the WRONG one. His plan was to effectively delay Salem indefinitely, with an ingrained, unshakable assumption that Salem cannot be fought directly. Also, Ozpin’s idea of fighting Salem in the shadows only seems to have backfired, with Ozpin and his followers keeping untold secrets from the rest of the world, all while Ozpin keeps more secrets from even his closest allies. This gradually erodes and destroys the trust those allies have in him as we saw in Volume 6, and also keeps humanity unaware of the threat to them and makes it all the easy for Salem to keep humanity divided and turn them against each other.
In short, Ozpin has the right philosophy, but the wrong idea of how to deal with Salem.
And in Volume 7, we see that Ironwood is the flipside to that coin.
By all rights, Ironwood has the right idea. He wants to take the fight to Salem directly and put an end to her once and for all. Not only that, Ironwood wants to reveal her existence to the world, shine a spotlight on her as the true enemy of mankind and unite humanity against the common enemy to all. But at the same time, Ironwood’s ideology is horribly flawed. In contrast to Ozpin’s humanist ideologies, Ironwood’s beliefs are entirely militant. He believes that simple military might will win the day, and also believes whole-heartedly that ‘the ends justify the means’ and ‘any sacrifice is worth it’. We see in Ironwoods conversations with Oscar that he considers his own humanity to be a weakness that can be exploited. He pretty much views Mantle as dead weight and is ready to cut the whole city loose as a sacrifice to what he believes is the ‘greater good’.
Basically, Ozpin had the Wrong Idea, but the Right Ideology. And Ironwood has the Right Idea, but the Wrong Ideology.
And it is between these two sides that I believe Team RWBY falls, and in particular Ruby herself.
I think it’s clear that Ruby is the one that has the Right Idea and the Right Ideology. Like Ironwood, she is staunchly determined to battle the evil that Salem represents and end the threat she poses to humanity. But like Ozpin, Ruby is an equally firm believer in the importance of keeping hold of our humanity and all that entails. I think we can see this most clearly in how Ruby has come into conflict with both men, with Ozpin in Volume 6 and Ironwood in Volume 7.
Finally, I think there is one specific quality Ruby possesses that sets her apart from both Ironwood and Ozpin and allows her to be this: Her Defiant Optimism.
Both Ozpin and Ironwood both seem to possess these cynical assumptions about the conflict against Salem: Ozpin believes that Salem cannot be destroyed and Ironwood seems to believe that great sacrifices must be made to ensure victory.
But Ruby possesses none of these assumptions.
Late reblog/reply, but I think there also might be another factor:
Ozpin and Ironwood both positioned themselves as the centerpiece of their respective Inner Circles and the absolute leaders who would have all the plans and direct those who worked for them to execute them. While Ozpin was certainly more compassionate and longer term in his thinking process, and Ironwood was…Ironwood, they both suffered the exact same problem:
Once they fell, everything they worked for completely crumbled because no one was able to lead in their absence in any meaningful way.
Glynda was Ozpin’s number 2 at Beacon, but had to stay behind to help with Vale.
Qrow was so confident in Ozpin’s plan that he ended up deferring to him and splitting up the Ozluminati even further, only for his devotion to shatter the minute he finds out Ozpin didn’t know what he was doing.
And Ironwood was…Ironwood.
They were all loosely unified by Ozpin, and ultimately splintered in their own directions once he wasn’t there to act as the keystone anymore and because they allowed their internal conflicts to drive massive wedges between them (specifically Ironwood and Ozpin), without any hope of properly reconciling because of their loose bonds and distrust.
Ironwood’s attempt was a spectacular disaster waiting to happen, with his team being nothing but extensions of himself, yes-men who only told him what he wanted to hear and not what he NEEDED to hear, with only any dissent or differing views occurring when he had completely gone off the rails.
Ruby’s leadership skills are…definitely context dependent, in that she’s very tactically minded and definitely can notice the bigger picture, but has her own blind spots. Which arguably could make her a parallel to Ironwood in some senses (I might cover that in my own post later on, assuming I don’t forget).
HOWEVER.
The one big difference she has by comparison to both Ozpin and Ironwood is who she surrounds herself with.
Her fellow team members and friends.
The team members and friends who have more or less been with them for most of the journey, undergone many similar if not exactly the same challenges as her. Who have each proven on a multitude of occasions to be capable of acting independently and thinking of their own solutions and methods outside of what Ruby tells them to do. Taking up the lead if absolutely needed when the others aren’t able to do so.
Yang seeking to rejoin her team after facing her depression, only to also deal with her estranged mother, fight alongside Blake against Adam, choosing to tell Robyn of the Amity Tower idea, and then later being part of the group who tries to evacuate Mantle while Ruby focused on Amity.
Blake retaking the White Fang along with her family and Sun, facing off against her abuser while pulling her friend from the darkness of Adam’s cult of personality.
Weiss having to find her way back to her team from her abusive father, and providing consistent support throughout the trials of Mistral and Atlas, while also contributing her own strengths in her knowledge of Atlas and also in the evacuation to Vacuo (slight poor choice of wording for Ambrosius aside).
Jaune, Ruby’s fellow team leader, who’s undergone his own parallel trials and grown from a loser to a solidly reliable huntsman and friend, and who’s numerous leadership moments have helped to bolster them many times throughout their adventure, especially in Atlas.
Nora, whose strength of power and her compassion for those suffering from either their own demons (Ren) or for those who suffer under the callousness of others (Ironwood) buoyed her through the trauma of the past in Mistral and the brutality of what happens in Atlas.
Ren, steadfast and calm, who also undergoes his own arc of truly facing his repressed nature and throughout the journey is a constant support, even if not the most noticeable in the grand scheme of things.
Oscar, coming in so late and bearing the burden of Ozpin’s reincarnation, nonetheless managing to serve to undermine Salem while also adding in some of his own insight unburdened by the biases of Ozpin’s past lives.
The simple reality is that despite them not necessarily being stronger or as skilled as those who came before them (though the gap is closing with each trial they go through), they are united even when they are divided.
They’re all on the same page for the most part, and even when they are broken apart, they strive to face those demons and unite stronger than before, even if it’s painful and difficult at first. Even if some of them falter, the others will rally and help them stand up again, even if it seems hard and hopeless.
I believe that even if one of them fell, or especially if Ruby fell, they would still strive to keep going, to keep fighting the good fight because they trust each other on a level that Ozpin and Ironwood were never able to achieve, because their pessimism and lack of true bonds made them fragile and weak against Salem’s manipulations.
RWBYJNPR will keep going forward together against the darkness.
And this is absolutely necessary for them to win.
i saw someone who done this TOH reference with Diakko so i quick doodled this. xD

Hey, uh, this may be controversial but
RWBY is good, actually.
Like, I really love this show.
Volumes 1-3? Amazing. The animation wasn’t bad, it was low budget, and there’s a difference. The fact that people can still gush about the fight scenes from these volumes inherently proves that.
Volumes 4-6? Also really good. It wasn’t boring, it focused on character development, and that’s also a good thing. I don’t know about you all, but I actually like my characters to have personality, and I’m not gonna be upset about them eating dinner rather than fighting, if it’s still fun to watch, and it was.
Volumes 7 and 8? Also really fucking good. Y’all are just upset that the show, which has always had political messages (news flash, everything’s political. Get over it.) went somewhere with them. Yeah, same sex relationships exist. Yeah, trans people exist. Yeah, fascist dictators are bad. Surprise surprise.
I will always argue that every volume of RWBY is actually really good and people just let the complaints of a few taint their opinions about them.

I’m a hardcore Blake stan but I have to say Ruby’s social awkwardness is incredibly relatable
And in the wise words of my partner “Ruby is baby”
