Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-23784953-20130809054750



Eh, been a while since I started a topic. I prefer countering theories than forming them, but I feel like this should be addressed.

As most of you have seen in episode 4 of RWBY, Ozpin is now back to normal. By normal I mean trolling Jaune.

In all seriousness. There's really one thing to note regarding Ozpin in this episode.

He doesn't have his cane anymore.

Beacon Cliffs seems like a place that's a bit more dangerous than the auditorium back in the Academy so it's strange that Ozpin won't bring his supposedly weapon of choice in case the things in Emerald Forest decide to say hi.

So what's up with that? I actually have two speculations regarding his cane.

1. Ozpin's cane changes his personality (Aozaki Touko theory)

This is based on the idea that Ozpin has split personality, and removing one particular item will radically change his personality. The inspiration from this theory is Aozaki Touko, a magus from Kara no Kyoukai and Mahou Tsukai no Yoru who can change her personality drastically if she removes her glasses.

See? Looks like a nice person overall.

...Yeah. Nevermind.

It's likely that this isn't the case, but that's the joy of speculation.

2. There's a Dust-made Humuncolus based on Ozpin

This one has no clear basis. I found this on a blog earlier on the wiki, but apparently, there's a possibility that there's a Dust-made clone of Ozpin running around who just happens to have a crippled leg. Thanks to that, he's a bit bitter in doing his job and does his speeches seriously.

That's all I've got on Professor Oz. Anything else you guys wanna clear up?
