Yoshida, like all children/teens in this manga, deserves better. It’s heartbreaking how they are treated by the adults around them.

He did ended the war with the relics. But if he was the one that started that rule is uncertain. I lean towards no bc the show is clear on what he does explicitly, like the Academies, abolishing monarchy, raising Atlas, etc; but nothing in the CNR itself.

I would like an epilogue or a story that take places in the Csm universe but not p3.

At least bring Kobeni and Kishibe for a cameo.

The CRN could have been out of universe. It did need to be canon.
It doesn’t even work as an example of Oz’s mistakes bc why would he do that? Oz may be a lot of things but tyrannical isn’t one of them. Someone should have broken the rule by now if it’s a canon thing.

it's a satirization of america's sociocultural philosophy. yoru wants to lead a genocidal "holy war", fueled by... the power of friendship. yerp, that's america!

RWBY runs on themes, even the rules don’t make sense. It’s fun but it makes you want to rip your hair out of though more logically.
