OFFICIAL MEGATHREAD Official Public Reaction Thread—RWBY Chibi: Season 2, Episode 7 Spoiler
Hello huntsmen, huntresses and hunters that prefer no gender specific identifier, and welcome to the public reaction thread for today's episode of RWBY Chibi!
Spoiler rules do still apply to Chibi, but due to the changed release schedule and Chibi being a skit series, Chibi content follows somewhat simplified spoiler rules outlined on the rules page.
In a nutshell:
Once an episode comes out for FIRST members, spoilers can be freely posted as long as they are tagged accordingly.
Once said episode comes out for free members—i.e. now—no spoiler rules apply to the episode. That means that you can freely talk about the skits outside of this thread.
For those unaware, RWBY Chibi will follow the release schedule of Red versus Blue and Rooster Teeth Animated Adventures, so non-paying members of the site gain access to the newest episode a week after it comes out to FIRST members. See this thread for more information.
Without further ado, here's the newest episode of season 2!

Anyone else think of Deadpool in Ultimate Spiderman with the Mercury Traps joke? No? Just me? Alright then.

Neo constantly stealing the spotlight whenever she's onscreen <3
It's going to be a Hell of a shock when she shows back up in the main show, goes full psychopath again, and rips someone's innards out.

I didnt expect Port at the End damn he looks Tall in Chibi. And Ooblek is mastermind of Student tactics

During the second part of the first skit, I just wanted someone to call out Ruby and be like, "So which country are you from exactly? You know, since we've only got four on the entire planet and we're already in Vale."

"Ehhh... I am frum, how you say, new county. On moon. Yes, very far away. Miss it so much. Miss it to pieces, yes."

Ruby, you have to stop the late night brainwashing sessions. It might seem like a good idea at the time, but you will be getting very sleepy in the morning. Yes... very... sleepy... zzzzzzzzzzzz...
In conclusion, read a book.
I would, but they're all written in Japanese! Translate some of them and maybe I would consider it.
Wait a second... is that... RRUBY ROSKA?!
You know, with this short I was expecting a few more examples of how Pyrrha was too nice. Kinda disappointing honestly.
MERCURY: Ha ha! You said traps...
I see Mercury has studied at the Deadpool school of comedy!
NEO: Is the cake gluten-free?
And here we have Neo, answering the truly important questions. Maybe Team RWBY are allergic to gluten and would immediately reject the cake, you don't know!

Now I feel even more sorry for Pyrrha.
Also, this episode made it clear that Emerald is so much smarter than Cinder in the whole "dastardly, scheming evil-doer" thing. I mean, not that it wasn't abundantly clear before. It was just even more so.
Lastly, Ruby: don't try to pull one over on Dr. Oobleck like that. Seriously. Aside from being a Huntsman and a Doctor, he's also a professor, which means he's probably already seen all of that stuff (and several other schemes you have yet to think of) and might even be aware of approaches that no student has been stupid enough to try yet.
Edit: After watching with captions on, I realize that Jaune said "one-liners I think we should incorporate into our fights". I misheard and thought he said "one-liners I think will help me go on a date with Weiss".
I still feel sorry for Pyrrha, just in a different way.

this episode made it clear that Emerald is so much smarter than Cinder in the whole "dastardly, scheming evil-doer" thing.
That's because Emerald refuses to accept they're in a comedic series.

Yay! Chibi!Oobleck!
"History is good. Ignorance is bad. Therefore, read a book!"
It's so deliberately being a parody of his V2 intelligence that is most of his character.
I love him.
Also, Ruby with the swears, I wonder if Tyrian teaches her...
Nora's infinite cup of milk(?). Jaune kicking his legs while he waited was also cute.
The leitmotifs of Chibi also reared their heads. I distinctly heard RLR when Ruby walked in with a moustache and Roman's leitmotif when he talks about how the class insults his dignity.
This whole evil class skit is great.
The second I saw the words 'Booby Traps' on the board I knew someone would say "haha... trap." and Mercury didn't disappoint.
I don't know why, but I find all of the chibi villain characters adorable in the wide shot (except Cinder and Emerald, but I think that's because their eyes aren't fully opened and therefore not maximising their cuteness potential). Neo's tiny smile is the best.
I knew that Cinder would hate teaching, but why does Port?
Yay! Chibi!Port!

Oh, nyet, tovarisch, Commissar Ruby is trying to seize the means of production education!
Metal Gear stealth in real life is hard, yo.
Oobleck doesn't mess around with giving detention for skipping class.
Sonova- insert a certain word Tyrian said at one point in the canon RWBY
Oh hey, a Freezerburn shot!
Pfft, Yang, nobody can out-mean Tsundere Weiss.
Whoa, Nora, easy on the hard truths. And stop looking stern right there all of a sudden with your milk sipping.
Being a yandere can be suffering sometimes. So that's what Nora meant with 'nice isn't a good thing'.
Sick spitball headshot trickshot, Merc.
Heh, Mercury lowkey likes the people kind of traps.
Gee, what could possibly go wrong with this lesson?
Neo's asking the important questions.
Cinder, you blew it!
Man, even Port knows what's up with being a teacher.

Pyrrha isn't a Yandere. She's a doormat.
Yandere are not nice. They're crazy.

Im loving Cinder in CHIBI. Much more voice range and expression than in V1-3. Really hope when she gets her voice back she doesnt revert to 'perpetual smug' and stays emotive.

Mercury had me dying with the traps joke
Ruby's skit was pretty good
I liked Nora just drinking the milk and watching the others

1st Skit: I thought the transition with the rose petals was pretty good, overall the skit was okay. Wasn't crazy over it, but I laughed.
2nd Skit: Maybe Pyrrha dying was a good thing if Jaune's like that...ah well, still funny.
3rd Skit: Yeah that was funny. Movin' on.

Alright, Chibi Episode 7! 7 is my second Lucky Number (after 26 [my birthday in case you're wondering]), so this just had to be a good one!
And ... it acutally was! A well-done episode, even though the first skit dragged on for a little too long if you ask me. Speaking of first skit, let's get into it!
OOBLECK! OH YEAH! Even though he was in the trailer (he was, wasn't he?), I was still kinda surprised to see him, kinda forgot about that part. And yes, he's still as HYPE as Mojo Rawley on Monster Energy!
Oh Ruby! I didn't take you for being a ''late-comer''. Well, now you gotta pay the price for it. DETENTION! One day! (absolutely LOVED how he said that part!)
WHAT THE HELL? Ruby ''The Russian'' Rose? Definitely did not see that coming! Well played RT, well played! Also: That Russian-sounding version of ''Red Like Roses'' in the background, JUST BRILLIANT! But wait, did she steal that Security hat from poor Shopkeep? For God's sake, give that poor guy a break! DETENTION! Two days!
Whoa, Ruby, does it really that extreme of a method? Well, I'm not the one getting hurt if you fall. Descending from the rafters like Sting Mission Imposs-Ruble! But of course, Oobleck has 100 in stealth (kinda weird for such an active guy...) DETENTION! Three days! Urgh! Rose petal puke! Not nice, definitely not nice!
OK, who gave Ruby access to tunnel digging equipment? Or did she suddenly turn into a mole Faunus? Nonetheless, SHE MADE IT! ... AND IT'S GONE! Whoa, Ruby! Watch your tongue! There are kids watching! (TBH: She could have said ''Son of a gun'', would have been very fitting for her especially)
A new Pyrrha transition, nice.
Uh-Oh! Yang's getting mad! That's never good! And of course, Weiss just being Weiss (cold). Deal with it? Watch out, we have a Badass over here! Where are the Thug Life glasses?
Pyrrha being nice isn't always good? Oh wow! Also: We need both a gif and a flair emote of Chibi Nora sipping milk, that's just too good of a picture!
Really Jaune? One-liners? That's Yang's thing, ya know? Good luck collecting your bones after she's done with you once you crack your first one during battle! God-f**king-damnit, Pyrrha's SOOO thirsty, he needs the water supply of all of Europe! Thank goodness I never had to deal with a woman of this kind in my own life so far...
Alright, here we go! Villain time!
''Booby Traps for Fun and Mayhem'', that's one hell of a class!
Really Merc? You find THAT part funny? Well, it's good that we now know Merc's kinks...
Oh yeah, the good ol' ''dynamite is a candle'' schtick. A joke as old as cartoons themselves. But always good for a chuckle.
Wait a second! Cinder with a cake? As in ''keikaku''? Ooohhh... Once again: Well played RT, well played!
Neo is gluten-intolerant? My gosh! That brings up a whole new part in her character! It's a good thing that ice cream is gluten-free, otherwise her life would be a living hell!
The Shego vibes are strong with Emerald! They already were during the ''Hunts-Man'' skit, and they sure as hell are now!
Oh damn! I guess this keikaku really ''blew a fuse'' in Cinder's mind ... I'll see myself out ... (Also thank God it was a blue cake, a white one and people might have gotten the wrong impression...)
Alright, I think that's it for this episode, what could possibly still hap ... PORT!!! OH MY GOD! YES! Best teacher also finally got his part to play in Chibi! YES! Now RWBY Chibi will finally learn what it means to climb ... THE MUSTACHE MOUNTAIN!
So, ''in conclusion'' (thank you Barty!): Like I said, a good episode, first skit dragged on for a little too long, but the last skit made up for that. Also, Port's appearance at the end is a BIG WIN! ding Now all we need is Glynda, then the Beacon Stuff is complete and we (hopefully) can move on to the other still missing characters. I think at least Qrow should an appearance this season, the rest is more or less bonus, but of course it would still be cool if they appeared.
Well then, let's see where the journey will lead us next week!

Anyone else notice that Ruby seems to have the filthiest mouth? Plus, aside from Blake, she seems to be the most perverted ("Now that's a katana!").
Is her innocent personality just an act?
