Just for starters, I know I talk a lot about Oscar, for a number of reasons, I like his character, its annoying how his character development is always skipped, his conflict with Ozpin’s responsibilities is interesting, his fairytale has a lot of foreshadowing, etc.

I’d also like to state CRWBY has the right to write their characters however they want. However, despite Oscar’s conflicts in Volume 4 and 5 being already done with lackluster (in their final phases only) there is still really interesting stuff they can do with him for V7 compared to other Volumes so I just want to put it out there on the top choices of what I “hope” is not skipped if they decide to go down the route.

Possible Arcs(Ranked Most to Least)

1. Oscar and Whitley

Since Volume 7 is in Atlas we are of course going to see Whitley again. I made a previous post already about the duality between Oscar and Whitley but I also want to state why it makes sense that these two might interact.

One thing is that Whitley would be the first guy Oscar meets that is around his age, besides Jaune. Whitley, despite hating the idea of fighting like Weiss and Winter, may be interested in why Oscar is fighting, who is around the same age as him, possible representing in his mind if he had followed in Weiss’ and WInter’s footsteps but then gives his own backstory as to why he does the things he does. This would help to develop both characters at the same time possibly while both struggle with going down the same path as the ones before them.





2. Ironwood and Ozpin



Another major question is how Ironwood will react to the whole Ozpin situation. Ironwood was already worried about Ozpin’s actions and perhaps will still end up fighting anyway so it might not affect him too much. He still might try to pressure Oscar about the relics in that case I hope the team is their to help him out while Oscar tries to slowly sort things out and tries to work out things differently than Ozpin.









3. Learning About Penny

So back in Volume 4 Volume 5 Oscar learned about both Penny and Pyrrha. I was a little disappointed that Oscar didn’t learn more about Pyrrha during the incident with Jaune. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really glad Jaune his team got some closure at least. I just hope if something similar happens , like Ruby thinks about Penny, Oscar will tell that something is up and mention it.













Semblance Awakening

So the reason I’m putting this in the same post is because a semblance should connect to a character arc. For Jaune his arc involved him wanting to protect people from dying at the hands of Cinder again. Like Oscar’s been around for 3-4 volumes now so I kin of want him to get one soon but only if he has something to back it up and not just as deus ex machina. I also hope its not completely invincible like it has some drawbacks. I hope Oscar’s its not something too overpowered like ONE FOR ALL or Oma Zi-O. Oscar’s semblance will mostly likely awaken during a time of great stress, hopefully when his own unique ideals/wishes are challenged.













Ozpin or Oscar’s Semblance

Oscar basically accepted his fate with Ozpin already so I’m not really talking about him fighting to keep his semblance. Also, If Ozpin did still have his semblance, it would be kind of a weird move to suddenly mention it now instead of back in Volume 4.

There semblances can be used to exemplify how the two might be similar yet different in their ideals on battling Salem, however. My guess it that Oscar’s ability will fuse with Ozpin’s to manipulate time but in a different way than he does.





Conclusion

Anyway those are the main points I just wanted to talk about before waiting 2 months for Volume 7. Take care and thanks for reading!
