![]() ![]() In Amity Arena, Boundless Jaune's Christmas outfit paints it green, colors the hilt like a candy cane, puts gold crystals along the flat of the blade, and puts a star on the end.An old blade had the same design as a sword used by the male Huntsman on the statue in Beacon Academy that features a Huntsman, a Huntress, and a Beowolf.Kerry Shawcross thought it was a perfect touch and decided to include it in the official design. The crown on a shield was first added by layout artist Rachel Doda when creating the storyboards for Volume 4.Jaune's voice actor and writer of RWBY, Miles Luna, acknowledged the name created by the fans and used it during the interviews before Monty Oum decided to reveal the true name of his creation via Facebook. ![]() Before its name was revealed, Crocea Mors was simply called Sword and Shielth by many RWBY fans, using the words "shield" and "sheath" to make a portmanteau.Appropriately, the same legends have it becoming embedded in a shield. Crocea Mors is Latin for 'yellow death' and is also the name of Julius Caesar's sword in some legends.In "The Final Word", after Jaune kills Penny Polendina at her request in order to keep the Winter Maiden powers away from Cinder Fall, a sword's blade is broken by the latter in retaliation. In " Ace Operatives", a shield was upgraded once more when Jaune arrived in Atlas, granting various Dust usage capabilities. The upgrade was made by the blacksmith of a village in Anima as a form of payment for Team RNJR defeating a Geist. In " The Next Step", Crocea Mors and Jaune's armor were upgraded using either the broken remains of Miló and Akoúo̱ the weapons of the late Pyrrha Nikos, her circlet or both. Various nicks and scratches could be seen on the blade and a shield, indicating this long time of usage. Jaune has stated that Crocea Mors had been passed down through generations from his great-great-grandfather, who used it in the Great War. Combining the two allows Jaune to use his shield as a paraglider of sorts to further slow his fall. Gravity Dust can also be released from the face of a shield to propel himself in a direction, break falls, blast enemies backwards, and even bounce on it. The first upgrade used was Hard-Light Dust, which extends to the sides, making the shield wider, and thus increasing defensive range. Whenever said Dust is activated, the emblem in the center of the shield glows the same color. Jaune's shield has been upgraded with Dust capabilities. When Jaune, along with the other heroes, arrived in Atlas, they received upgrades to their weapons. Doing so adds the weight of a shield behind Jaune's blows and allows him to wield it two-handed, increasing the force of his attacks. The scuffs and scratches on both have also been mended, and the sword's blade has been polished to a new shine.ĭue to the modifications, the sheath now possesses the ability to become a wider blade for the sword by extending the sharpened edges of the shield, becoming a longsword. The shield is also accented with gold, including a design similar to Pyrrha's circlet at the point of the shield. The sword now has a heavier and more elaborate cross-guard and hilt. The shield appears to deploy with significant force, enough for its tips to embed themselves in a wooden doorway in " Jaunedice" or be used as a doorstop as demonstrated in " Dreams Come Rued". However, when Ruby Rose points out that it would still weigh the same, Jaune sheepishly concedes the point. His explanation for a shield's transformation is that when his arm gets tired of carrying it, he can shrink it down. A shield is white with a gold trim, displaying Jaune's emblem in the center. Jaune can transform a sheath into a heater shield for combat. The bastard sword itself is a simple arming sword with a blue handle and a golden cross-guard. ![]()
