· In the scene where Oz finally talks to the team once again, they made sure to have Emerald in the shot a lot, since both Oz and Emerald are seeking apologies. They’re not quite part of the group yet.
I think this clarification from the V8 commentary is extremely important, and emphasizes that both Emerald and Oz will have character development and redemption in future volumes, having the buildup in V8, which leads to the beginning of those arcs in Vacuo during OLVE’s POVs and then continuing and possibly coming to something of a conclusion when RWBYJ(N?) return from the Island.
I agree. I wasn’t too happy with Team Protag suddenly accepting Oz back, especially after the way he manipulated them throughout the series and then it seemed like they were agreeing that said manipulations were right. They weren’t. And I’m rather neutral on Emerald’s redemption. While I’m glad she’s trying, we can’t forget that she not only caused the Fall of Beacon, but her first scene was committing murder with Mercury. Both she and Oz have a lot of work to do to make things right.
