NEOPOLITAN CHOOSING TO ASCEND | VOLUME 9, CHAPTER 10: OF SOLITUDE AND SELF

i just hope that this means that she’ll return, newer than before, in v10, instead of this being her definite departure from the show. please

BONUS:

I love how this parallels are so similar and yet so different.

The first one is the more similar and obvious (same pose, cape flying in the same direction, etc.), just the hood being down, but the second? The second is the one that is making me go crazy.

All of it screams "it's the same but it's different" and I love that! The schyte is on the opposite side, with the blade pointing up instead of down, and even the shot is different, no more frontal but partially from the side!

Ruby is still the same, but she's also changed. She still holds the same goals and believes, but she had a lot of experiences which she learned from. In other words, she grew up.

But I am hoping so much that it’s WEISS who takes charge of going after Ruby.

I mean how fucking POETIC would it be for Weiss, who’s spent the entire volume caught up in her own head and has in some respects been the most oblivious to Ruby’s problems, even being unknowingly critical of her supposed ‘usefulness’ a few times, spent the last couple episodes focusing on Jaune, to the point of symbolically partnering up with him this episode rather than Ruby…

…to turn right around after seeing Ruby’s breakdown and go ‘holy shit why did I not see this earlier, my partner needs HELP and dammit I am going to go and make sure she gets it!’

Also, did anyone else notice the shot focus on JUST Ruby and Weiss when Ruby flies off with Weiss reaching out to her?
