I didn't get to watch the trailer until super late last night because shenanigans but hnnnnnngg

RWBY Volume 9 | OFFICIAL TRAILERMy girls have come back from the war.

Not literally, they're still very much stuck in a war, but oh well.

And lmao at Weiss putting the words "fairy tale" and "logical" in a sentence together.

Weiss and Blake tied up by mice intrigues me so much and also the "I sense a but approaching" is a top tier RWBY joke. I am excited. This is gonna be a fun season

Legit can't tell if Yang's deadpan interjection is because of how Done she already is with EverAfter or because she's just line-facing at Weiss trying to be logical about this. Probably both.

urbaninja I SENSE A BUT APPROACHING IS INDEED TOPS.

Re: Weiss and Blake tied up with vines: "I've seen enough anime to know where this is going-" /SHOT

That is Miles and Kerry 100% and I am here for it

That scenario is hysterical though because it has Gulliver's Travels vibes to it and I'm here for that.

It also looks like it's Blake that gets caught first? Maybe? She's seen reaching for her weapon which is being held out enticingly caught in the vines and then the vine monster "attacks" which like...lol Blake.

Also amused that Yang just straight up shoots a man robot? card? something with her detached arm.

Because that scene is not where she loses it (she's still holding it after the guard swipes his sword at her and she fires off her detached arm).

I assume the raccoon in purple we see a couple shots later is said raccoon. Who seems to be some kind of auctioneer? Salesman? Which is...amazing.

Give me the RWBY version of Tom Nook.

I also really like the little...jelly people? Or whatever the residents of this Ever After world are. They look like little gel-toy figures in various colors. They're cute!

Also Weiss, Yang, and Blake are all on the board of that Chess(?) game and I LOVE ME A GAME OF WIZARD CHESS.

And I am extremely intrigued that Jaune is still nowhere to be found in this trailer. Which is a pretty good sign that whatever the heck he's involved in inside Ever After, it is massive spoilers.

Doing some frame-by-frame analysis and 3-eyed leaf monster is most definitely a 3-eyed bug guy of some kind. Might be representative of The Caterpillar/Butterfly given his wings look kinda Luna Moth-ish? But possibly not.

Something else interesting...the bird flying towards the screen in the next cut has a very familiar glowing-trail effect coming from its eyes.

Could just be a nifty effect but hmmmmmm

Either way I am hyped! 3 weeks baby!!!
