MPD.

Spoilers Below:

“Tea Party”

Weiss invites Blake, Nora, Ruby, and Pyrrha to a tea party so that she can allow them to meet her butler, Klein. He’s come to visit the Academy for a day, and is excited to meet all the girls. He also has several different personalities, that come out as he interacts with different people. The personalities he exhibits seem to mimic whoever he’s conversing with. Weiss starts to dismiss him, but Winter comes in, demanding to know why Weiss isn’t keeping up with her studies. Adopting a fiery personality, Klein tells her off, insisting that she allow her sister to have some free time. Everyone leaves the party with different impressions of Klein, but Pyrrha tells a confused Yang that she didn’t miss out on much.

Score:

3/10

 

“Leisurely Stroll of Doom”

Ruby is excited to spend the day with Qrow, but Yang is afraid for some reason. Yang bails out on the celebration, but Ruby remains to hang out with her uncle. As they spend time together, Ruby keeps having a strong spell of bad luck, one that keeps growing more and more extreme. She finally confesses that she’s not having the best time, but Qrow said he’s felt the exact opposite– he feels lucky to be spending time with his niece. Ruby hugs him, as everything falls apart around them.

Score:

5/10

 

We’re back with more RWBY Chibi. Even from the main series, we don’t know much about Klein aside from his great loyalty to the Schnee household and a particular favor and protectiveness towards Weiss. Giving him MPD as a trait seems really out of the blue, and just kind of thrown in there. It’s not really fitting, or does it act as a parody either.

On the other hand, we see how Qrow’s luck has been inverted. He’s usually having so much bad luck in the main series that it’s rare to see him have a good time. Here, he’s having a nice day for once, happy to spend time with Ruby– and that disrupts the world around him. To compensate for Qrow being happy, the world collapses on itself. This is kind of depressing, that the universe has to compensate for one man’s happiness, but maybe it was worth it. Perhaps.
