Ok, so no links to illegal releases or anything of the like.

RWBY manga chapter 2 is out and fan translated by a group going by the name "Remnant's Scans". They have a wordpress blog where you can read their translations of the RWBY chapters.

So, I make this thread because I found the chapter actually had some noteworthy content and thought maybe someone would like to talk about it:

1) We learn some insight into the mechanics and materials Cardin's mace is built on. I think it's a nice piece of information to get since Cardin is kind of a very secondary character so it's unlikely an episode would dedicate time to something as plot irrelevant as how his weapon works... On the other hand, it's an interesting tid bit of world building information... exploring how Remnant weapons are made, that is.

1.a) It's also nice to see some more of Ruby "the weapon's nerd" Rose, who we haven't really seen since back in V1 when she would hug Crescent Rose...

2) We get a taste of how Glynda deals with students starting unauthorised fights in school grounds: throw then into a sanctioned fight in front of the whole school.

2.a) Yes, even on a Sunday.

3) Ruby suffers of scene panic or whatever you call that in English.

3.a) Ruby is one of us, she likes to look at cute puppies on the Internet.

4) There is an anecdotal reason why Ruby wears her cape with her uniform.

5) Ruby's concrete inspiration for becoming a huntress comes from Qrow's rescue of her and Yang back during Yang's failed attempt to find Raven (originally narrated during V2 in Burning the Candle). So Ruby was old enough to have memories of the incident.

6) Chapter closes promising us Weiss additional backstory information.

7) Weiss rejection of Jaune made me laugh, reminded me of Izumo and Renzou from Blue Exorcist back during the Kraken Arc... before chapter 48, when everything went to shit... We shall never forget the Inari Arc (Ignore me, I'm rambling the sufferings of another fandom).
