A God Arc is essentially the same as RWBY weapons (a melee-gun hybrid, albeit bulkier), but the God Arc’s core is organic. Their users, God Eaters, are the same as Huntsmen, specially-trained fighters who eradicate creatures (Grimm and Aragami) that threaten to exterminate humanity. The difference is that God Eaters must be injected with the cells of the monsters they hunt to receive superhuman abilities, whereas Huntsman are naturally born with their powers. Also, the organic core of the God Arc is Aragami, so the weapon is literally alive, granting some fearsome Newtype God Eaters can  freely transform the weapon from melee to If you like RWBY or need something to tie you over until Volume 4, I recommend God Eater. The premise is very similar, but the series is a few steps darker. However, that looks to be changing for RWBY. It shares the same videogame-style action and shock-and-awe factor for the weapons,, and the production quality is amazing. This is perhaps the closest thing we’ll get to a RWBY anime.



The MC, Lenka, is using a one of-a-kind God Arc that is a Swiss-army assembly of the many weapon types you can choose in the game. The major drawback of his God Arc is that once the weapon form is spent it must be jettisoned. It’s a one-off. I can't upload videos of it in action, but here are pictures of the main forms, excluding the improvised 5th form. Hopefully, you watch the episodes to see how the weapons work; it's worth it. This is taken from episodes 12 and 13.
