Already mentioned the black pull white push thingy at the end of the paragraph.

Ruby could be an element, sure. I didn't bother cover everything that I don't remember because the title's you know, completely random speculations? On the other hand she could just be leaking aura. I'm not feeling up to give an explanation on this so STAY TUNE FOR THE NEXT BLOG POST! *rushes to toilet for the inevitable tsunami*

The normal Air Step is definitely NOT enough to propel Ruby all the way to the Nevermore. The Red Dust is a requirement here, though it may be argued that Ruby may have supplied the Aura/Dust.

I'm not going to argue who's the pioneer of the 'scatter Dust at feet' theory, even though I am sure I'm the first who stated it on a blog post. But it could be only Ruby's boots, sure.

That gave me an idea. STAY TUNE FOR THE NEXT BLOG POST! *rushes to toilet for the second. inevitable tsunami*

Though logically speaking that would only create an Air Step from underneath her feet. In the White Trailer the Air Step has always appeared one at a time and only when Weiss willed it at the spot she needed to propel herself. That was usually very near her feet; where she sprinkled Dust. The Air Step has never appeared at any place without Dust. You may argue that the Weiss had floated the entire Golem in White Trailer with a giant Air Step, but the two combatants have been moving all over the place and it's not unthinkable that Weiss had setup that giant Air Step trap (it is as simple as sprinkling Dust over the spot.

Weiss has to activate what, twenty? Thirty? More? Air Steps in a row for Ruby. I'm not even sure if I've ever seen her fainting and am not feeling up to checking that now, but the mental strain in doing such a thing perfect would've been massive, following either yours or my theory.

Lastly, almost the entire 'planning' and 'setup' part of the manuever was ommitted by having the camera on team JNPR. That means that they are unimportant. The scene I described may be showed on the Blue Ray discs, but for Episode 8? Even I think that it's unimportant.

I mean, don't tell me you seriously think that Blake's entire job in the setup was just to fix one side on the slingshot. That would be ridiculously sad.

8) Uh huh. Possible. That could be what's described in the transcript, how he managed himself wonderfully in actual situations. I did see him swinging his sword, but Phyrra was there too so it can be argued that she was compensating largely for his weaponary ineptitude. Well, possible weaponary ineptitude, since again, we never really get to see him fight with them.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand TSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMIIIIIIII
