User blog:Gundam Legilis/DDI In Depth - The characters

Hello everybody!

Today I will be talking about the characters of Dance Dance Infiltration.

DDI features some really great character moments.

First off, Jaune becomes more sensitive and wiser this episode, relating Pyrrha. I know people might bitch about, oh, how Jaune gets more development screen time than many others, but let's be honest, we practically know virtually everything about Team RWBY at this point; their personality by archetype, a sizeable portion of their backstory, and their motivations. Jaune, not so much. Plus, I'd like to see him as a subversion of the lovable idiot, with his character development.

Pyrrha finally becomes more honest about herself, which is a good thing too. It is revealed that Neptune is playing the cool Casanova with the ladies, when he's really plain adorkable, with his lack of dancing talent. Before people bash Neptune out for this, please let me explain that he genuinely cares for Weiss, and to prevent both himself and possibly Weiss from being embarassed, he politely denied her invitation. And Neptune knows of Jaune's attempts, so at least he understands Jaune's struggle. When Jaune gives him Pyrrha's advice, both of them get good character development, and Neptune hints that Jaune is actually more than Weiss gave him credit for.

Cinder has a very badass but poorly thought-out plan, hacking into the CCT with heavy security and surveillance gathering info, and leaving a message that basically screams, "Chess crew wuz here."

Yes, Cinder and Ruby get more screentime, but Cinder really needs a good backup plan, one that doesn't involve being seen in the first place. Although I can justify Ruby coming alone because cops and troops really take their time to go to the scene of a crime. That being said, WTF is Cinder's Semblance. First, she uses runes and fire dust to blow up and light up everything, but now creating solid weapons out of Dust particles? JEEZ! And escaping without being caught! Oh man....

Stay tuned for next time, where we cover the writing.

Thoughts?
