Pyrrha vs Cinder Full Fight

Reminder: they are both doing this in heels

I guess Cinder didn't like her cereal.

"Do you believe in destiny?" Pyrrha knew she was probably going to die in this fight. But ultimately, she did it anyway. She was buying someone time (she assumed Professor Goodwitch and co. but Ruby came quicker and did her silver eye trick). That's just straight up cold stone badass right there.

This is, easily, the most tragic and affecting part of RWBY so far. Pyrra's heroism is extraordinary; she knew that her chances of winning were very low, but she went and did her duty anyway and performed extraordinarily well against a much more powerful enemy. I really miss the character and, while part of me hopes there will be some way to bring her back or give her a happy ending (Pyrra in the afterlife?) I know it would cheapen the story and the impact of her sacrifice. But I hope that, in the world of RWBY, the full extent of her heroism is fully understood someday. Yes, she has a statue in Argus but, at this point, the full story of what she was up against and what she did is not known to most people in the world of Remnant.

Still hurts to see my girl go. If she had the spring maidens power, Pyhraa would have been unstoppable with complete training

Conclusion: how in the world are they fighting with heels-

I look back at this and I realise how much cinde has changed. During this fight she still seems human but during volume 5 she moves like one of the Grimm. Also during volume 5 she also sounds a bit lifeless as well

Rest in peace Pyrrha. You fought the good fight.

Notice how Pyrrha went in immediately utilizing her polarity semblance in a highly visible way rather than holding back or keeping it subtle, probably a first for her against a human opponent. She is here for blood.

Sometimes I rewatch this fight and hope for a different outcome even though I know it's set in stone and is a long past part of RWBY's history.

I always imagine that this fight would have been much harder for Cinder if Pyrrha was in peak form. The woman is sleep deprived while stretched to her mental and emotional limit. Imagine if Pyrrha had come to this fight with a clear head or better yet with an ally.

Noatter how many times I watch this, the final arrow always sends shivers down my spine

Even more sad is that Pyrrha basically died for nothing. She didn't stop Cinder, she didn't save the communications tower, and Beacon still fell. Yeah I guess she helped Ruby unlock her deus ex machina silver eyes, but that was definitely a... pyrrhic victory.

I only just noticed she got shot in the achilles just like the person/legend she is based off 2:46

Cinder has been terminated for hacking.

I would like to remind that Pyrrha was supposed to be on par with Cinder (who is a full maiden here). So... I guess Ozpin was right to have picked her to be the new Fall maiden.

According to analytics, 2 people in the Netherlands watched this an average of 5.5 times. O_O Thanks guys!

I always found the way the arrow breaks into pieces and then reconnect is soooo cool !!! 2:45

I just love the version of Cinder's theme that plays here. It really helps to drive home that she has won.

I'm still salty over this
