The artifacts in the trophy room were: Meta's Brute Shot, Carolina's Magnum the Director used to kill himself, the Recovery Unit Epsilon was inside of in season 9, Tex's Helmet, Epsilon's old Monitor body and obviously the improved Meta armor
Fun fact about Carolina's Magnum, it was given to her by Wash and then ended up in Donut's possession on The Staff of Charon. Donut ironically fought his way out using the pistol that nearly killed him.
As Santa stated a number of times, the sword/key is bonded to the person who finds it until they die. As Locus could work the sword he took from Felix, that proves that Felix id most definitely dead. But yeah, as I said at the start of your Chorus Trilogy reactions, I think this is the best written of all the RvB arcs. And yeah, that ending was a big gut punch. I don't think I realised just how attached I'd gotten to that obnoxious blue a-hole who can't shoot for toffee until the moment he was gone. As for Felix... Well Miles is usually cast as nice-guy characters, so it's a tribute to his acting ability that he made a villain who was so horrid that his death was that satisfying.
We know Felix is dead-dead when Locus activates the sword. He wouldn't be able to if it was still bound to Felix, as that bond ends with the holder's death.
@@Rykage_ I love Felix as a villain. It's cool facing off against big bads like The Meta, but there's something so personally satisfying about kicking Felix's ass. Another fun fact, there at the end? Where Felix stands alone against everyone, even his own partner... Remember the vision Locus had during his 'trial', standing at a low point, surrounded by people who couldn't understand him and deemed him a monster that needed to be destroyed. If you look at the scenes side-by-side, they mirror each other.
This is the end of RvB canon, FYI. From here on, it's never clear what actually happens and what is non-canon even in the final season. It's just as well, since this is the best ending we could have asked for.
@@thatoneguy2729those canonically happened before the events of season 14 tho, so it doesn’t really matter since it doesn’t count as plot progression. That being said, SO EXCITED for season 14
In my opinion this is the best ending for RVB, but if you absolutely want to know what happens next then I think it's best to just watch season 15, and only season 15.
During the war, Locus was mentally broken. Felix saw it and used it to his advantage Felix likes to gloat and is aware that his ego can get the better of him, that's why he needs Locus, to keep himself from life danger. His greatest fear is that Locus reclaims his sanity & leave him
For many, myself included… this is the end. Not that what comes after it is bad, per se (though some of it certainly is), but there is just no topping Season 13’s finale. And just as a heads up, Season 14, while very good overall, is an anthology, aka a whole bunch of short stories, some canon, some not. It was made, assumedly, because the head writer (Miles Luna) wanted to focus more on RWBY.
SPOILER: It technically is. Everything past this was retconned with the final season, and even that was unlikely to be canon as something that *really* happened outside of Epsilon's dying mind.
This is, as many have said, considered their true ending of the main RvB storyline, though the show was designed to have suitable endings multiple times (season 5, season 8, season 10.) so it's up to the audience which they choose to accept as their own ending point. Epsilon Church breaking himself down into the memories of the AI fragments to power the Meta's armour adds another tally in the Church death counter. Season 14 is an anthology series where RT brought in new writers and creators from across their staff and outside RT to see what stories new voices could tell in this universe, (or to just do cool shit) and to pick out Miles and Burnie's successor as lead writers/showrunners allowing them to focus more on their other projects going at the time.
Here's a fun fact the song that plays during Kimble's speech is Half Life from Trocadero, my personal favorite song written for RvB. It was actually one of the songs written for RvB all the way back in 2004 but didn't end up getting used until Season 13 and its promotional material, before it's breakdown it is a very calm and lackadaisical song. It had a very Church or Grif vibe to it, especially with the lines "Drinking Maritini's again, on a Sunday morning" & "And I'm lost inside a bar, And I'm drunk inside a war." I believe the only songs from that album that went unused in RvB are 617, All As One, and maybe Funny Farm. Something fun about Trocadero's Red vs Blue album is that it includes a lot of the original backstory for the characters that would later go on to be changed. A Girl Named Tex tells the story of Church and Tex's first meeting and how they hit it off. It also reveals Tex's original intended name before it was changed to Alison, Beth.
Now you see the biggest reason people said to wait a day, the impact hits so much more with all of it. On the brightside, Season 14 makes for a very good palate cleanser after this
God, Chorus was such a great trilogy, I remember when it first aired, that ending to 13 had me like a sobbing mess for weeks. Miles really outdid himself with these 3 seasons.
Fact: durning the scene when church was talking to filss before the chairman interrupted them, you’ll see letters spamming randomly, but if you pause at the right time, you’ll see the words “CHURCH DIES IN THE END”, which foreshadowed church’s final speech
This ending is so tragic yet so perfect. I want to show peoples reaction to this to anyone who says yaou cant convey emotion through a helmet. Screw you Halo show, Red Vs Blue is the true halo show. If you have to watch more, I would recommend season 14 and the final season. But whatever you do, DONT WATCH RVB ZERO.
This one we see how brutally savage the Councilor can be. He'll give up on everyone and everything to survive. Imagine the frustration of someone you need to get past, blocking your way, and when you mock them with "I can do this all day", they reply with "I know. I counted on it." Like dude... You're really going to waste my whole day over this? "Was that a happy ending?" Well in the end, the good guys won, the survivors all cheered, and everyone got to live happily ever after. It's only the hero who didn't get to see that ending, but he had faith. Ain't that a bitch?" We know Felix is dead because the sword only works if the previous owner is dead, and Locus was able to use it after Felix was blown off the building.
So from here theres two ways you can view the rest. you can keep going through the seasons in release order, but know that by the time you get to Restoration, it will all be retconned back to this moment, or you can watch restoration here as the conclusion of this version of the story, then move into Season 14 and beyond, as restoration makes very minor mentions to post-chorus trilogy stuff (only easter eggs and side characters that act very different to their 15-18 counterparts), so it isn't required to enjoy resoration. Alternatively, 14 is great, 15 is my favourite place to call "The end of the show" even more so than here as most people will say, and 16-17 give some good character development for people we haven't explored yet, but kinda jump the shark plot-wise, then you can skip zero unless you want to watch it for the rage bait engagement of people saying they hate it (feed the algorithm with their tears lol), and wrap around to restoration as the conclusive finale.
Love the algorithm comment 😂 but for Zero I'm gonna make a poll so you guys can decide alongside me. Feel like I know the answer from the comment section but you all deserve a choice whether you want me to watch it or not 🔥
The fight at the purge is my third favourite fight behind Tex vs the reds and blues, and the heist. So dynamic and action packed with great character payoff (wash being a blade master in freelancer, which is then never brought up again because knives don't exist in halo for example). Dropping a spaceship on someone is a badass finisher, but if anime has taught me anything, if you don't see a body they arent dead. Wash and Carolina should watch some more anime xD In that same vein, they were only like 50 feet apart. If they survived, why would they assume Felix and Locus didn't? So to elaborate on Felix's biggest fear being Locus, Felix is a badass in his own right, but pretty mucheveryone is ore confident when they have a wingman. They were partners during the war and learned to rely on each other, but they were always competing over who was better, as per Kimball's explanation. However, when Locus lost his morals, Felix found an opportunity to get one over on Locus and feed this idea that he is a weapon and not a person. It gave him a level of control over Locus, and he started to rely on that power. It allowed him to be as cocky as he wanted, because in the end he had a monster in his corner that would always back him up regardless of the morals, because the mission came first. His fear was losing that control over locus, of locus realizing that he doesn't need Felix, and that he isn't a weapon to be controlled, because that would put them back on an even playing field, but while Felix has been fucking around, Locus has been getting better and better. Felix isn't afraid of Locus the weapon, he is afraid of Locus the person, because Locus the person is the only person who could single-handedly beat him. Aaah the comm tower fight, so much fun. Felix losing his shit (with miles killing the performance), Locus finally breaking out of his mental prison, O'malley going from being the main villain to fighting the main villain, and contrary to the anime trope, we don't have to see a body this time because the sword only activates when the last holder is dead. "No, you wont" he was confused and questioning every time he faced off against the crew, always doubting why they were losing to these idiots. Now there is no question, they cannot stop him from leaving, and they will not find him. Period. Junior! Sister! (shes color blind, that why she said "the grey guy" when talking about Lopez haha) hmmmm. Im thinking Freelance-a-phobia "Kinda tight int he crotch" This implies that either tucker is really big or Maine was really small. Wonder which... "Out of everyone I've ever mat, I hate you all the least" is a callback to season 1 where after being shot by sheila, he tells tucker "Ive always hated you, I've always hated you the most". His last words to his friends in a human body, and his last words to them as an AI. I actually used church's speech here in my senior showcase fo rhigh school, with the idea being "I don't want to be the hero that never sees his ending, I want to see thefruit of my labor and be content". Aint that a bitch......... IM NOT CRYING YOUR CRYING
Hey I don't blame you for crying, it's a good damn scene. You've got probably three to four choices now: End the series here at 13, watch until season 17, watch until season 18/Zero, or watch until Restoration which just released a few weeks ago. Up to you!
Or skip straight to Restoration (which is a technically valid option given that the canonicity of the subsequent seasons is now an open question, and things would technically make sense without the intervening stuff). Though there's definitely some good stuff in Season 14, and the other seasons aside from Zero do all have their moments in spite of the general decline that hit the show at that point.
@@PassiveSmoking I suppose that's an option. But personally I enjoyed some of the character development in the shishno trilogy, even if it was kinda garbage
I think I'll continue, the only one I'd consider skipping is "Zero" because I've heard the horror stories from that 😅 but even then I'll make a poll in case you guys want to see a reaction to it, feel like you all deserve a say conisdering all the seasons you've stuck with me until now 🔥
@@Rykage_ Yeah, don't watch Zero unless you have to lmao. Some of the fights are good but the story is just... awful. The canonicity of it is questionabpe bow though, with the trailer for Season 19/Restoration releasing last year
This is one of the best endings a series could ever have. We the audience are like Epsilon/Church. We don't get to see the ending, we won't know if their sacrifice really made a difference. In the end we just have to have fate. Aint that a bitch. The last season Restoration the story was good but it didn't feel complete. Not going to say much but it's possible to see it as a simulation too. But I don't blame them for having it feel rushed. The timing couldn't have been more awful with RoosterTeeth closing down.
Pretty much everyone agrees that the chorus trilogy is the peak of the show but theres still plenty left to watch. Season 14 is less a real season and more a collection of extra content. It can be hit or miss sometimes but it's a fun ride overall Season 15 gets a bad rap because it follows something as amazing as the Chorus Trilogy. Tbh though its genuinely really good for a one season arc. Not exactly fair to compare it to a trilogy. Season 16 is a bit of a low point for the series. Characters regress a bit and the general writing gets worse. Its still sort of funny but not the level of quality we're used to. Season 17 is a clear improvement from the 16th one, but its also a direct continuation of it so it inherits some of the problems and can't fix all of them. The best part of rvb 0 is how it makes you realize season 16 really wasn't that bad in hindsight... And then theres a movie now that i actually haven't seen yet.
Even though the story didn't go in ways I'd expect in 15-17 I still love those seasons for what they did with the characters. I watched zero but wasn't grasped at all. I haven't seen the movie yet because the idea of retconning 15-17 doesn't sit right with me. 17 may be the end of rvb in my memories
@@lukedonabedian like I said they weren't on the level of the chorus trilogy or even Carolinas arc before that but I think most of the more glaring flaws were contained in season 16 specifically. Season 15 was amazing for a mostly contained single season arc. Season 16 was kind of a disappointment. And season 17 was pretty good even though it had to deal with a lot of the issues season 16 created because it was a direct continuation. Zero was just bad in basically every way. Like they established the bad guys with an unironic cool guys don't look at explosions scene. It feels like the kind of thing the real rvb would make fun of. And they used high animation budget for things like Shakey camera angles and having the characters constantly wave their hands around while they talked. It wasn't good...
Have yet to watch the video yet but I already know what’s happening based on the thumbnail and title. Will watch when I’m home. Anyways though, Congrats on finishing the chorus stuff. Now you can pretty much do what you want from here, although me personally would love to see your reaction to all the stuff after 13. Not going to spoil anything but will say these few things for the stuff afterwards and maybe that can help with your decision. (EDIT: I’m mainly typing this out since I figured there are bound to be some folk who will say “oh you can skip this, move on to this thing instead” or whatever so I figured this might help you decide for yourself). Season 14: Anthology. There is no long lasting story arc like previous seasons. There would be just short mini stories. Some an episode long, some a few episodes long. I like this season and I think you’d enjoy it. Season 15-17 this is a new story arc. Won’t say anything about it other than it’s meant to talk about a series of events after chorus. Some love it, some hate it, some are mixed on it. I think 15&17 are great but 16 is kinda rough in my opinion. Still, I think it’s a decent arc. Season 18 “Zero”: new story, new characters. I personally did not like it as much as the other stuff and can’t remember much from it anyway. I did however love the animation and I think you’d like it too. Family Shatters (spin-off of Zero): Now I have not seen this one yet but I did hear that fans enjoyed it. The Red Vs Blue Movie “Restoration”: This is the official finale to the series. I will say nothing about it other than that If you wish to watch this now, you technically can, for the information from 15-18 is not relevant. I will not explain how or why. I will put the prologue trailer here but I suggest you only watch it IF you ultimately decide to make this the next rvb vid or after you are done with 15-17 (maybe 18 if you decide to watch that). Here it is. czcams.com/video/lZ5k8TCyxM8/video.htmlsi=Xms9GZ5H7D3xi8vR Again, only watch this after you’ve made you decision on what to do next. Either after the next arc or if this is your next rvb vid.
Appreciate the low down dude, I think I'm gonna still watch the rest of the seasons. Nailed it on the heads though, a lot of comments asking me to either stop or skip this, that or the other seasons 😅 The only one I'd consider skipping is Zero because I've heard bad things about it, but that decision will come after a poll since I want you all to ultimitely have a decision in that 🔥
Don't worry season 14 is a healing happy season like RWBY Chibi was for RWBY after volume 3, well not the same but it always has the same effect for me
Yep. That’s epsilon and Felix dead for the count. Locus could use Felix’s sword meaning he was 100% dead no question ifs ands or buts. Now, as for the rest of the series. Season 14 is a collection of short stories kinda fleshing out the world and a few wacky adventures in the same universe a few with new characters. Season 15 kicks back up with the main story. People can choose to have either the Shisno arc to be canon, or the Restoration arc to be canon. Personally I like shisno to restoration but it’s up to you. Both have good parts but shisno and longer and has its own terrific arcs for characters like Wash, Donut, Grif, and Doc. IMO watch the series like normal but feel free to skip Zero as literally no one likes it and they ruin established lore and arcs multiple times. Don’t take my word for it do whatever you want the continuity here gets kinda wonky. Just know the ‘golden age’ ends with 14 Lastly, great video this was worth waiting a day for 10/10 definitely want more
Yeah I completely forgot about the sword activation rule 😅 So for now I'm gonna continue as normal, for Zero I'll make a poll (from the comments I think I know the answer😂) to decide whether or not to watch it since I feel you guys definitely deserve a say with how long you've all stuck with me throughout this series. And finally, appreciate it man 🙏🏼
As incredible as I've always found this ending, it also just...kind of doesn't make sense. The entire purpose of the Meta suit here is that Hargrove modified it to not need an AI. That's why he was able to use it as motivation for Felix and Locus: They would be able to use it without any issues. But...Epsilon isn't strong enough to run it for some reason? Even if he's just a fragment, the suit shouldn't need ANY AI to run, so he would still only be an objective improvement.
@@devoutrelic1228 Yeah, as we saw with Carolina, even modern armours have difficulty running multiple enhancements at once with older AI: the Meta's suit generation actually pre-dates even the Mark-V series in the RvB timeline....
The artifacts in the trophy room were: Meta's Brute Shot, Carolina's Magnum the Director used to kill himself, the Recovery Unit Epsilon was inside of in season 9, Tex's Helmet, Epsilon's old Monitor body and obviously the improved Meta armor
And a Charon Industries mug, but Sarge stepped on it.
Fun fact about Carolina's Magnum, it was given to her by Wash and then ended up in Donut's possession on The Staff of Charon. Donut ironically fought his way out using the pistol that nearly killed him.
The biggest cliffhanger we had for close to a decade. This final killed me when i watched it all those years ago.

@@Rykage_ Yeah, don't watch Zero unless you have to lmao. Some of the fights are good but the story is just... awful. The canonicity of it is questionabpe bow though, with the trailer for Season 19/Restoration releasing last year
Was that a Happy Ending? No. That was an Artistic Ending.
I don't like Artistic endings damn it! 😭 I wanna happy one so I can feel 😭
This is one of the best endings a series could ever have. We the audience are like Epsilon/Church. We don't get to see the ending, we won't know if their sacrifice really made a difference. In the end we just have to have fate. Aint that a bitch.
The last season Restoration the story was good but it didn't feel complete. Not going to say much but it's possible to see it as a simulation too. But I don't blame them for having it feel rushed. The timing couldn't have been more awful with RoosterTeeth closing down.
Yeah, this hurts. S14 is very chill though!
I really can’t wait until we get to season 14 and 15🎉 the animation for those seasons isn’t the best but the writing is SO GOOD imo
Pretty much everyone agrees that the chorus trilogy is the peak of the show but theres still plenty left to watch.
Season 14 is less a real season and more a collection of extra content. It can be hit or miss sometimes but it's a fun ride overall
Season 15 gets a bad rap because it follows something as amazing as the Chorus Trilogy. Tbh though its genuinely really good for a one season arc. Not exactly fair to compare it to a trilogy.
Season 16 is a bit of a low point for the series. Characters regress a bit and the general writing gets worse. Its still sort of funny but not the level of quality we're used to.
Season 17 is a clear improvement from the 16th one, but its also a direct continuation of it so it inherits some of the problems and can't fix all of them.
The best part of rvb 0 is how it makes you realize season 16 really wasn't that bad in hindsight...
And then theres a movie now that i actually haven't seen yet.
Even though the story didn't go in ways I'd expect in 15-17 I still love those seasons for what they did with the characters. I watched zero but wasn't grasped at all. I haven't seen the movie yet because the idea of retconning 15-17 doesn't sit right with me. 17 may be the end of rvb in my memories
@@lukedonabedian like I said they weren't on the level of the chorus trilogy or even Carolinas arc before that but I think most of the more glaring flaws were contained in season 16 specifically. Season 15 was amazing for a mostly contained single season arc. Season 16 was kind of a disappointment. And season 17 was pretty good even though it had to deal with a lot of the issues season 16 created because it was a direct continuation.
Zero was just bad in basically every way. Like they established the bad guys with an unironic cool guys don't look at explosions scene. It feels like the kind of thing the real rvb would make fun of. And they used high animation budget for things like Shakey camera angles and having the characters constantly wave their hands around while they talked. It wasn't good...
Have yet to watch the video yet but I already know what’s happening based on the thumbnail and title. Will watch when I’m home.
Anyways though, Congrats on finishing the chorus stuff. Now you can pretty much do what you want from here, although me personally would love to see your reaction to all the stuff after 13. Not going to spoil anything but will say these few things for the stuff afterwards and maybe that can help with your decision. (EDIT: I’m mainly typing this out since I figured there are bound to be some folk who will say “oh you can skip this, move on to this thing instead” or whatever so I figured this might help you decide for yourself).
Season 14: Anthology. There is no long lasting story arc like previous seasons. There would be just short mini stories. Some an episode long, some a few episodes long. I like this season and I think you’d enjoy it.
Season 15-17 this is a new story arc. Won’t say anything about it other than it’s meant to talk about a series of events after chorus. Some love it, some hate it, some are mixed on it. I think 15&17 are great but 16 is kinda rough in my opinion. Still, I think it’s a decent arc.
Season 18 “Zero”: new story, new characters. I personally did not like it as much as the other stuff and can’t remember much from it anyway. I did however love the animation and I think you’d like it too.
Family Shatters (spin-off of Zero): Now I have not seen this one yet but I did hear that fans enjoyed it.
The Red Vs Blue Movie “Restoration”: This is the official finale to the series. I will say nothing about it other than that If you wish to watch this now, you technically can, for the information from 15-18 is not relevant. I will not explain how or why. I will put the prologue trailer here but I suggest you only watch it IF you ultimately decide to make this the next rvb vid or after you are done with 15-17 (maybe 18 if you decide to watch that). Here it is.
czcams.com/video/lZ5k8TCyxM8/video.htmlsi=Xms9GZ5H7D3xi8vR
Again, only watch this after you’ve made you decision on what to do next. Either after the next arc or if this is your next rvb vid.
Appreciate the low down dude, I think I'm gonna still watch the rest of the seasons. Nailed it on the heads though, a lot of comments asking me to either stop or skip this, that or the other seasons 😅 The only one I'd consider skipping is Zero because I've heard bad things about it, but that decision will come after a poll since I want you all to ultimitely have a decision in that 🔥
Don't worry season 14 is a healing happy season like RWBY Chibi was for RWBY after volume 3, well not the same but it always has the same effect for me
Yep. That’s epsilon and Felix dead for the count. Locus could use Felix’s sword meaning he was 100% dead no question ifs ands or buts.
Now, as for the rest of the series. Season 14 is a collection of short stories kinda fleshing out the world and a few wacky adventures in the same universe a few with new characters. Season 15 kicks back up with the main story. People can choose to have either the Shisno arc to be canon, or the Restoration arc to be canon. Personally I like shisno to restoration but it’s up to you. Both have good parts but shisno and longer and has its own terrific arcs for characters like Wash, Donut, Grif, and Doc.
IMO watch the series like normal but feel free to skip Zero as literally no one likes it and they ruin established lore and arcs multiple times. Don’t take my word for it do whatever you want the continuity here gets kinda wonky. Just know the ‘golden age’ ends with 14
Lastly, great video this was worth waiting a day for 10/10 definitely want more
Yeah I completely forgot about the sword activation rule 😅
So for now I'm gonna continue as normal, for Zero I'll make a poll (from the comments I think I know the answer😂) to decide whether or not to watch it since I feel you guys definitely deserve a say with how long you've all stuck with me throughout this series.
And finally, appreciate it man 🙏🏼
As incredible as I've always found this ending, it also just...kind of doesn't make sense. The entire purpose of the Meta suit here is that Hargrove modified it to not need an AI. That's why he was able to use it as motivation for Felix and Locus: They would be able to use it without any issues. But...Epsilon isn't strong enough to run it for some reason? Even if he's just a fragment, the suit shouldn't need ANY AI to run, so he would still only be an objective improvement.
Didn’t Hargrove say that’s what it’s supposed to do but it was not ready yet? Said it was still in testing? I always assumed that might have been why.
@@badnewsbear4834 Huh...that's right actually. Thanks for fixing this ending for me, lmao.
@@devoutrelic1228
Yeah, as we saw with Carolina, even modern armours have difficulty running multiple enhancements at once with older AI: the Meta's suit generation actually pre-dates even the Mark-V series in the RvB timeline....
Stop after season 14 please. i dont want your experience ruined
Season 15 isn’t that bad.
Let him do his own thing. Let him watch. Don't speak for him.
