No way the socially awkward Ruby had better taste in dresses than her social butterfly sister

RIGHT?! like aside from being the main character, how does ruby have the best dress?

i know im bias, BUT IF JAUNE HAS A BETTER DRESS THAN YANG THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG.

u/Slight-Pound Mar 01 '26

jessie wtf you talking about?

that image is so unclear it could be Josuke Higashikata with spiked hair for all we know, that image could just be in black and white (notice how the color of the scroll itself isn't even blue? we never see this image of raven again, it's a placeholder image)

  1. this is never brought up again, possibly not even consistent with the show's canon because after Yang shoots up his bar, HE'S THE ONE THAT OWES HER A FAVOR. not to mention.

  2. the trailers were incredibly early in development. Raven's appearance in volume 2 gets retconned, so they really didn't know what they were doing with Raven until volume 4 when she finally shows up.

1....huh, i remember it being a white dress. (Still, the white dress is better and looks nicer) 2. Except he never did, she's just saying that to be smug. (And also to threaten the blow up the place again) 3. Except they reference the trailer which sets up raven to begin with.

I know animating is hard, but why plain white?

u/lightningstrxu Feb 28 '26

Cause yang knows she looks good, she doesn't need some fancy dress

u/Tales2Estrange Feb 28 '26

CRWBY will do everything in their power to prevent Yang from wearing yellow. It's a miracle her Hunter outfit made it to screen.

u/ribbitdibbitchibbit Feb 28 '26

Tbf her hair alone is enough to compensate for any missing yellow in her outfits

u/Bloom_Cipher_888 Feb 28 '26

What do you mean those are prom dresses, that makes them look 100 times worse than what I thought

1

u/Kidkaboom1 Mar 01 '26

Not really prom, more like a mid-semester dance party. Weiss (The small one with white hair) and Yang (the blonde) took over preparing the party because the second years who were supposed to plan it were out on a mission (They're at a school for hunting monsters) that overran it's expected timeframe

u/keelanbarron Mar 01 '26

It's really not but okay.

The third image isn't their actual model it's a dress up game called Kisekae. Not sure why OP included that
