Inconsistencies may not be included if the subject matter has not been explained well enough to judge. Evidence must be presented. Evidence includes the following: Picture, Audio, and Video. Evidence must not be edited. Allowed edits in pictures are lines or arrows or some sort of indication about where the Inconsistency is.

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

"Red" Trailer

 * 1) Animation - 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.

"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.

 * 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.
