Inconsistencies

This page points out most major, and some minor inconsistencies/mistakes made in RWBY.

Only things that are 100% definite will be added and anything with the least bit of uncertainty will be abstained (left out) until clarification. Error types currently include; Animation/models and Dialogue (No clipping). Errors may not be included if the subject matter has not been explained well enough to judge. Evidence must be presented.

"Red" Trailer

 * 1) Reversed Crescent Rose - As Ruby turns Crescent Rose clockwise around a Beowolf's neck at around 2:21, it is pointed to the other side 1 second later.

"White" Trailer

 * 1) Rendering leftover - The point in the trailer where Weiss stands up after being knocked down by the Giant Armor, a transparent cube (rendering leftover) can be seen in her right hand.
 * 2) Giant's sword - At 1:01, the Giant doesn't have a sword in his hand, however, in the next shot, a sword appears in his hand.

"Yellow" Trailer
Up until the close shot of Yang and Junior "kissing" they all have fireaxes then, as it cuts to a wide shot, they seem to be holding swords (same seen in ep1), and back in the close up they have axes again. The wide shot could have possibly been done later when the models had been updated while everything else in the trailer was with an older model.
 * 1) Model - Between the times of 2:10 and 2:30 all the thugs change weapons twice in a matter of seconds.
 * 1) RWBY Yellow Trailerng man - At around 2:21, a man can be seen running in one spot for less than 1 second before it cuts to Junior.

Episode 1 - Ruby Rose

 * 1) Dialogue - At the beginning of the actual episode, after witnessing Ruby defeat his men, Roman Torchwick uses the term "You were worth every 'cent', truly you were". As far as we know the currency of the RWBYverse is Lien, of which Cent is not a part of as it is American. Though, a "cent" may be a 100th of a Lien, just as the word "cent" implies, so this may not be an inconsistency at all.
 * 2) Rendering leftover - Before eating the cookies, a transparent cube (rendering leftover) can be seen in Ruby's left hand.
 * 3) Model - At around 4:37 Ruby's right wrist is detached from her body.
 * 4) Model - Between the times of 5:37 and 5:50, during the fight scene between Glynda and the fire user, the airships door appears closed when Glynda dodges the exploding ground when it should be open.
 * 5) Model - When Roman Torchwick first appears with his thugs they are all clean shaven. However, once entering From Dust Till Dawn, two of them clearly have facial hair.
 * 6) Model - During Ruby's fight with the thugs and Roman, the writing on one of the windows disappears, followed later by the glass shards of the other, broken window.
 * 7) Model - At 3:50 during Ruby's fight scene with the thugs a blank poser model can be seen in the background.

Episode 2 - The Shining Beacon

 * 1) Model - Shortly after Ruby's Chibi moment, she pulls out Crescent Rose, when she does so a duplicate is also still sheathed on her back. This was later fixed on the Youtube version of the episode.
 * 2) Model - When Weiss is lecturing Ruby about Dust, right before Ruby sneezes, an airship can be seen behind Weiss on the campus grounds.
