>>116693678"these are the events IN ORDER:
1- grimm SUDDENLY DONT ATTACK yatsuhashi and arslen where they go past them and attack the enemies instead.
2- sun gives a speach.
3- yatsuhashi sends a message to fox about what happened.
4- fox says grimm are attracted to aura
5- gill CONFIRMS through her thoughts why grimm are now attacking the crownsmen only.
6- only then this increases the fear for the crowns soldiers.
7- coco ASSUMES fox was lying.
its not just a strategy by fox, it is literally canon in that book based on how the events transpire. fox didnt lie, he just said what yatsuhashi told him. coco, who didnt have the message from yatsuhashi about the grimm attracted to aura assumed fox was lying"
-RWBY critic when asked to explain his reasoning for how the book adds aura to the things that grimm can be attracted to
so, why would the grimm not attack yatsuhashi? he is confirmed to have negative thoughts the page before pic related (with him being shocked/scared that he can erase his own memories), so there is little reason that i have found for yatsuhashi not being attacked. you could argue that the huntsman behind him had more negative emotions than him, but this is a hard point to argue.

i tried to discuss people with this on RWBYG, but i just got called a shill for adel. because shitty people can't have good points or something. anyway, this is by all metrics a late-game addition. DON'T trust RWBY side content ever. the show can barely stop retconning itself, don't expect side content to be up to par
