Shorts Review: RWBY Chibi Episode 16

This episode was 4 mins and 23 seconds long with one promotional ad.

“Bike Race”

Team RWBY begins to do a “Wacky Races” of sorts with each character (except for Blake who is holding the flag to signal the other racers) which consists of Yang on her Motorcycle, Weiss on a tricycle and Ruby on a Wagon that Zweii is pushing like a horse carriage. (Awww)

Yang & Ruby then proceed to laugh at Weiss’s choice of Racing vehicle as Weiss explains that it was an Heirloom from her Grandmother and she named the Tricycle “Stardust” which makes them both laugh even more.

Weiss secretly brings out her Myrtenaster sword and straight up freezes the competition! (Damn, that was Anti-climatic.)

She then gleefully rides off while Ruby & Yang struggle to bust themselves out of the Ice Trap.

Damn Weiss, That was Figuratively and Literally cold. did you really have to freeze the Dog too?

Part of me did love Weiss’s tactics. I honestly thought she was going to power herself with Myrtenaster like a jet but freezing Yang and Ruby was even better. 😀

“Stand-up Yang”

Yang is at a comedy club with a series of jokes that aren’t well recieved.

Sun is about to Leave but Ren stops him and says “If we’re gonna suffer through this, so do you.”

Then out of sarcasm and disdain, Sun makes a joke that the audience legitmately laughs at and without even trying to, steals the show.

Yang decides to end her stand-up special with a terrible pun “Out with a Yang!” and a trap door slips under her.

I guess Yang would say that Sun stole her ‘Sunlight.’ Eh? 😛

There’s a saying that if “Your going to lose, Lose like a winner” and despite Yang’s jokes not being well received, She’s quite a sport knowing when she has to end it without feeling like crap.

“Jaune Ennui”

It starts quietly with Jaune & Blake reading books.

And Ruby shows up with a Chibi-Grimm dragging her scarf while Jaune  proceed’s to try and make small-talk with Ruby in this predicament but Ruby has to go and get this thing off her scarf and leaves.

Afterwards Jaune asks Blake something in a way breaks the 4th wall by asking if she ever wonders she’s “just a supporting character in life” and Blake responds with the words “Nope” and “Don’t worry about it Sun”, and Jaune is going WTF because she’s mistaken Jaune for the other bright blonde of the show so far and Blake tries to dodge the question saying “Oh I knew that”.

Out of nowhere Ruby gets into another fight saying “Oh no! too much adventure!” and asks for help and they straight up just sit there while Zweii runs to help but gets cartoonishly knocked back.

The Skit ends with Blake asking “Are you sure your not the one with the Monkey Tail”?

Given what happens to actual protagonists in the main show, Jaune, I think that you should be happy to be the background comedy sidekick!
