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, Rendering leftovers, 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.

If any of the following Inconsistencies have been fixed, please write that it has been fixed, and provide evidence.

"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.

"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.

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.

 * 3) Model - At around 4:37 Ruby's right wrist is detached from her body.
