RWBY/Recap/V03/E09 PvP

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
< RWBY‎ | Recap‎ | V03


During Pyrrha and Penny's match, Emerald uses her Semblance on Pyrrha, causing her inadvertently to tear Penny apart. Everyone is horrified, and Cinder takes control over the computers to blame all incidents on Ozpin and Ironwood in a public broadcast. The negative emotions of the people are amplified, causing hordes of Grimm to attack Beacon Academy. Neo breaks Torchwick out of prison and they gain control of Ironwood's flagship. Meanwhile, Adam and the White Fang arrive at Beacon. (From Wikipedia)

Tropes used in RWBY/Recap/V03/E09 PvP include:
  • Accidental Murder: Pyrrha kills Penny. Not a true accident, as even the "random" arrangement of the match was set up for this to occur.
  • Half the Man He Used To Be: Poor Penny. Also actually cut into 3 pieces of unequal size.
  • Heroic BSOD: Pyrrha's role in Penny's death leaves Pyrrha in a rather useless state.
  • Unwitting Pawn: Pyrrha was tricked into killing Penny.
