RWBY Volume Parallels

The Volumes as Seasons theory suggests that each volume has an associated season, and repeating seasons will have similar major story elements. Additionally we expect major story elements to be repeated. Spring is a foiled heist, summer is a repelled attack, fall is a devastating loss and winter is recuperation. This page will cover parallels between volumes with the same season.

Volumes as Seasons
The Volumes as Seasons theory suggests that each volume has an associated season, and repeating seasons have similar types of events occur, drawing parallels between volumes, but not in detail.

For example, 1 and 5 are spring (new beginnings), 2 is summer (victory), 3 is fall (tragedy), 4 is winter (recovery). And the cycle will repeat itself.

Furthermore, the maidens show up in the volumes associated with their seasons. 3 was about Amber, 5 was about Raven and Vernal.

Volume 1 & Volume 5
Otherwise known as “Spring” in the “Volumes as Seasons” theory. The themes of Spring seem to be new meetings, fights in the wilderness, teams gathering together, internal group conflict, coerced betrayal, and elaborate heists.

Volume 2 & Volume 6
Otherwise known as “Summer” in the “Volumes As Seasons” theory.
