As Yang fights the statue of Nicholas, Jaune and the Sillies fight the statue of Jacques. The robot army that had been created from Weiss’s nightmare fight the deformed White Fang which had been created from Blake’s nightmare. While battles are held in various places, Nega-Weiss clashes with Nega-Blake. Weiss is overwhelmed but tries to confront Nega-Blake, raging with Faunus’ anger who were being continuously oppressed. On the other hand, Ruby reaches the core of the dream and attacks the briar that covers the “Nightmare” but it quickly goes back to its original form and she is unable to destroy it. As she gets flustered, she remembers the words Weiss had said in Ruby’s dreams.

Light In Shadows/Transcript

Characters[]

Changes from the Show[]

Differences between the show and anime[]

  • In the anime, in a life threatening situation, Ruby unknowingly uses her silver-eyes on the Nightmare for the first time. In the show, Ruby uses it for the first time on Cinder Fall and Wyvern by accident after she witnesses Pyrrha’s death in “End of the Beginning“.
    • However, Ruby does not remember her actions nor she does not suffer any headaches and blackouts from using her powers like in the show.
  • Since Team RWBY’s combined attack was never used against a Nevermore so it was used on Blake’s Nightmare’s real body in the shadows to reveal itself.

Original Scenes[]

  • Ruby finally frees Weiss from the Nightmare.
  • The Nightmare’s real form hides in the shadows and the one guarding the victim’s consciousness was a fake.
    • As a result of being exposed to Ruby’s silver-eyed powers, the Nightmare vanished completely inside Shion’s jar instead of turning into a dominant seed.
  • Ozpin was the only one to notice Ruby used her silver-eyed powers in Weiss' dreamscape.
  • After Weiss’ conscious (her songdress form that Ruby saved) return to her body, Weiss does not remember being possessed by a Nightmare nor the advice she gave Ruby when she was trapped in her dreamscape.
  • Blake uses her last coin to wake herself up and Yang pulls her out of Negative Blake’s body.
    • After Blake was pulled out, Negative Blake becomes an empty shell and puppet to Blake's Nightmare.

English Dub dialogues changes[]

  • In the English Dub, Ruby is screaming a while she unintentionally activates her silver-eyed powers for the first time. In the Japanese dub, she does not scream when she first activate her powers for the first time.

Continuity errors[]

  • Despite young Weiss having a similar appearance to Little Weiss when speaking to her grandfather, the family photo of Weiss appears to be slightly older.

Trivia[]

  • This is Nicholas Schnee's first physical appearance in the anime before the main show.
  • When Yang breaks Negative Blake's Grimm mask that exposed her left eye foreshadows or references to Adam's SDC brand scar on his left eye from "The Lady in the Shoe".
  • The end card for the episode was made by Mitsukazu Mihara.[2]
