Marrow Amin's command when using his Semblance.

Overview Image Gallery



Freeze[1][2], is the Semblance of Marrow Amin. It was revealed in the Volume 7 episode "Ace Operatives".

It allows him to freeze opponents in place.

Description[]

Marrow's Semblance allows him to freeze an enemy's movements, as seen with how he froze two Centinels in place in "Ace Operatives", activating when he uses the command word "stay." This ability seems to have little to no limit in terms of numbers, as Marrow was able to freeze an entire crowd of people in the episode "A Night Off". However, he must remain pointing at the enemy to keep them in place, otherwise the command will wear off.

The major limitation of this Semblance is that can only be used it in a single direction: in other words, it cannot be used against two opponents coming from separate directions, as activating the Semblance will cancel any current usage. In a fight with multiple opponents in different directions, Marrow would need to constantly do and undo his "stay" commands, putting a severe strain on his stamina and Aura reserves.

History[]

Marrow first reveals his Semblance in "Ace Operatives" to freeze a pair of Centinels for Harriet to finish off.

In "A Night Off", Marrow is able to slow a charging crowd, allowing Ruby, Nora, Ren, and Penny to escape the rally massacre unharmed.

When Team RWBY fight the Ace-Ops in "With Friends Like These", Marrow uses his Semblance during his battle with Weiss Schnee, freezing the Huntress in place. However, Marrow is forced to reactivate it against the Arma Gigas summon almost immediately after, allowing Weiss free movement and ultimately resulting in his defeat when she hits him with several fireballs.

Marrow is able to freeze Penny midair in "Strings", stopping her from using the Winter Maiden powers against his teammates and giving the Ace-Ops a chance to apprehend her. However, Marrow has a difficult time keeping her frozen, and thanks to Nora blasting open the security door, Elm is unable to successfully cuff and capture Penny.

During the Battle of Atlas in "Witch", Marrow freezes a Beringel mid-leap for Harriet to kill.

Following his defection from the Ace-Ops with Winter, Marrow is able to catch his former comrades of by surprise with his Semblance in "Creation", giving Qrow and Robyn the opportunity to restrain them. However, in "Worthy", Marrow throws himself in from of a hacked Atlesian Knight, taking a point-blank explosion which breaks his Aura, thus allowing Harriet and Vine the chance to escape.

Trivia[]

  • His Semblance seems to be inspired by dog commands, furthering his allusion to The Dog and Its Reflection.
