Perhaps that means there really is going to be a fight in transit as the ads suggested. The airship flying across a lake that has sky islands floating above it, while being chased by Grimm bugs, was also Weiss. That's the Atlas airship that Weiss is on.

1) The Fandom is really in the dark. I heard one guy saying "I bet that Knight in the sky will be Juane." There were more but overall, the average viewer has forgotten or didn't pay attention to major plot points. That is expected. People forget stuff. It happens. That is what the Wikia is for.

2) The average viewer is really young. Maybe this is just the utube audience but the ammount of immature "HYPE OVERLOAD" or "AAAAAA" comments were apalling. It was like 50%. 1. I really think it's more so that they just don't pay attention, rather than forgetting during the hiatus. This is considering that, immediately after Fall, we had people going "Jaune is going to become the new Fall Maiden!!!" despite being given exposition that clearly spelled out that men cannot become Maidens.

A depressingly large portion of the fandom just plain does not pay attention to things that are said and shown.

That's probably why there were so many people who, for the life of them, could not understand Yang's backstory in Burning the Candle and kept getting everything all mixed up and confused.


 * "Yang's mom went on a mission and never came back, and Summer, Ruby's mom, died."


 * "Yang's mom is dead, and Summer left on a mission and never came back."


 * "Ruby and Yang's mom went on a mission and disappeared, so Yang is looking for her."


 * Some... story that was so, so incredibly different from what we were told that I can only imagine that person was on LSD when they watched the episode. Something about Ruby and Yang's house getting attacked by Beowolves and it never being confirmed who it was who saved them from those Beowolves but it could have been Raven. I forgot what their explanation about Summer was.

I've even seen someone say "Oh, I missed that scene. I had to go afk, and when I came back, the episode was already past that part." Okay, um, you know, it's a video on the internet, so you can pause and rewind it any time you want.

Basically, a lot of RWBY fans only half-watch the show, so a lot of things just zoom right past them.

2. And that is why the "joke" captions on the Youtube episodes always look like they were written by an 11-year-old.

Never forget the Volume 4 Character Short captions. "(FOOT!)" "(EYES!)" "*Slash slash slash!*"
