He advised those responsible "for a very young viewer" to watch the episodes before deciding if they want to show them to a child, thus more or less changing the rating for the series.[11] Volume 3 concluded on February 13, 2016.

WR11"Dust"2:17August 21, 2014 (2014-08-21)
The narrator explains Dust as four basic forms of a naturally occurring energy propellant, triggered by the Aura of humans and Faunus. It can be combined naturally or artificially to form stronger types, which Mankind harnessed for technology such as airships or androids. Only skilled and disciplined people can use it's raw form without losing control, so the most common use of Dust is in ammunition - though some still use archaic means, like weaving it into clothing or their own body. While part of everyday life, humanity has no understanding of how it came to be - or how mankind's involvement with Dust will change Remnant.
WR22"Kingdoms"1:57September 18, 2014 (2014-09-18)
The narrator describes Remnant as a dangerous place for mankind, as many civilizations have grown and fallen over the years. In the present day, only four remain;Atlas in the north continent and Mistral in the east, while Vacuo and Vale share the largest continent. Protected by natural barriers and human tenacity, each kingdom has a governing council and their own individual militaries - some mandatory, some not. Outside the kingdom walls are roaming nomad tribes and small villages, but most fall to Grimm attacks. Each kingdom has a Huntsmen academy to train the next generations of Huntsmen to protect humanity from the Grimm. Described as beacons of hope and safe havens, the narrator claims they are the key to mankind's survival - as long as they stand united.
WR33"Grimm"3:36October 16, 2014 (2014-10-16)
The narrator details the creatures of Grimm as a destructive force that has existed throughout most of Remnant across known history. Once believed to be evil spirits, further study revealed they continued to evolve and diversify over time like animals. They attack humans and their creations first and foremost, only conflicting with wildlife for territory. Common belief is that Grimm don't need to feed; they choose to. They are drawn to negative emotions - with numbers proportionate to how far panic spreads. Captured Grimm usually break free or die quickly and their bodies evaporate shortly after their death, making study difficult. The narrator concludes that Grimm are not mindless; while younger ones are more reckless, older ones learn from their experiences to be more cautious in the future - a natural adaptation that makes them more effective killers.
WR44"Aura"2:00December 9, 2014 (2014-12-09) (DVD/Blu-ray)

The narrator explains Huntsmen are considered Remnant's greatest warriors in large part by mastering Aura; a manifestation of the life force or soul that runs through every living being - save Grimm - but which only true warriors can amplify and control. It is primarily used for defense, sheathing the wielder in a protective force field to help survive otherwise fatal blows - though their reserves deplete with each hit until exhausted, leaving them vulnerable. Aura's second main use is by projecting it into a more tangible form known as a Semblance, providing a special power unique to each wielder such as superhuman strength or telekinesis. The narrator claims that, with enough training and focus, Aura can turn a warrior into far more than a simple man or woman.

WR51"Vytal Festival Tournament"2:40October 8, 2015 (2015-10-08)
Professor Ozpin explains how the multi-year Great War was ended when humanity's leaders made peace on the island of Vytal, forming new laws, traditions and the Huntsman Academies to create modern society. Among these is the Vytal Festival to celebrate the peacetime every two years, rotating between each kingdom to ensure their cultures remain open to the world. The Vytal Festival's Tournament, a keystone of the event, was designed to test the strength of the kingdom's Huntsman in a safe and friendly environment, the competition ensuring every warrior strives to be their best. As the tournament's rosters grew, the four kingdoms created the Amity Colosseum; a mobile arena that can visit any kingdom in Remnant. Ozpin notes his hopes for the established peace to continue and help humanity grow closer.
WR62"Huntsmen"2:36November 21, 2015 (2015-11-21)
Ozpin describes Huntsmen and Huntresses as the best warriors in Remnant, often outranking kingdom police and military in terms of skill but with only one goal; combat the Grimm. Each kingdom established an academy after the Great War: Beacon Academy in Vale, Haven Academy in Mistral, Shade Academy in Vacuo, and Atlas Academy in Atlas (originally Mantle). They recruit the most promising graduates from primary combat schools, grouping them in teams of four to develop communication, empathy and teamwork skills. Students are separated from kingdom allegiance while in the Academy and, upon graduating, choose their work and employers, usually via mission boards; kingdom affiliation is by choice. However, Atlas Academy is an exception, scrutinized for indoctrinating a military lifestyle upon its students, pressuring enlistment in the Military's Special Units after graduation. Ozpin states that regardless of the teaching method, the end result is the same: Huntsmen and Huntresses, ready to make their own paths. Some stay in a team, others work alone - all are expected to protect and serve humanity, never succumbing to the darkness.
WR73"Cross Continental Transmit System"3:07December 26, 2015 (2015-12-26)
Ozpin details the history of the Cross Continental Transmit System (CCTS), before which kingdoms could only communicate within their borders by radio or across borders with physical messages, the latter of which were always endangered by Grimm. Establishing relay satellites was impractical because spaceflight was impossible, as known Dust types lose their powers outside Remnant's atmosphere, so Atlas instead developed a series of four tower-housed wireless-signal hubs - one in each kingdom. While allowing an online web and communication accessible via handheld "scrolls", connectivity suffers the further one is from a kingdom, with attempts at smaller support towers suffering from Grimm attacks. Despite the benefits of global communication, Ozpin notes the system's fatal flaw is that losing even one of the towers will take down the entire network, describing it a poetic irony that Remnant's people must either speak as one or not speak at all.
WR84"The Four Maidens"7:02January 23, 2016 (2016-01-23)

Ozpin tells the tale of the Four Maidens; An old wizard living in the woods sees a maiden, Winter, waiting outside in the snow for her sisters, falling asleep from the serenity she brings. When he wakes, he sees another maiden, Spring, also waiting for her sisters and planting seeds to create a beautiful garden. The wizard watches until he hears laughter from a third waiting maiden, Summer, who convinces the wizard to step outside and embrace the world. They prepare a feast together just as the fourth sister, Fall, arrives and asks the wizard's name when he invites her. The Wizard claims he is uninteresting and has nothing to his name despite centuries of life, but Fall remarks otherwise and convinces him he has everything he needs in life. The wizard asks why they helped him with his loneliness, with Fall's answer being they would do so for anyone. Repaying their kindness, the wizard bestows his magic upon the sisters, gifting them control over the elements of nature. The sisters promise to use their gifts to aid others and to visit their friend every year.

[Note: A shortened version of the tale of the Four Maidens was also told by Pyrrha Nikos (Vol. 3, Ch. 6)]

WR91"Vale"2:23October 17, 2016 (2016-10-17)
Qrow welcomes the audience to Remnant, a world in which many towns have risen and fallen. Today, the Faunus race holds the island continent of Menagerie, but the four kingdoms (Vale, Mistral, Atlas, Vacuo) are the "sweet spots" to live in. Vale is located on the northeastern end of the largest continent, Sanus. The kingdom is protected by strong natural barriers: steep mountains in the east and shallow waters on the northwestern coast eliminate many threats and make the kingdom very well guarded. The kingdom consists of Vale, the main city after which it is named, a few smaller cities along the northwest coastline, and the small island of Patch, off the coast across from the capital. To Qrow, Patch is a nice place to raise a family, referring to Ruby and Yang growing up there. Attempts to extend the kingdom of Vale past the mountains have been colossal failures, for example the Mountain Glenn project. According to Qrow, Vale is "not half bad", as regular climate, natural barriers and serious border defences enable its citizens to live their lives instead of fighting for survival. Qrow states that Vale has known peaceful times, but its citizens have become worried after the Fall of Beacon.
WR102"Mistral"2:20October 18, 2016 (2016-10-18)
Qrow explains that the landmass to the east of Sanus is the second largest continent of Remnant, Anima, on which the kingdom of Mistral is located. Mistral controls the most territory of any kingdom and is home to a wide variety of ecosystems and lifesyles. Its high society is known for fashion, architecture, and theater. The lower class "has a fame of its own": the biggest black market in Remnant is found in Mistral, a place where one can also hire thieves, assassins, and thugs. However, all inhabitants of Mistral have one thing in common: their respect for nature, especially the sea and sky. Qrow states that natural resources have had an impact on Mistral's culture and technology, starting with the first settlers who found shelter in the wind-carved cliffs, from where they expanded out into the land. A huge problem for the government of Mistral is the kingdom's sheer size, which enables a lot of traitors and thieves to hide here. While the capital is mostly under control, other cities like Windpath and Kuchinashi are harder to govern. Qrow concludes that there are a lot of places to hide, and that one has to know where to look to find certain people.
WR113"Atlas"3:12October 19, 2016 (2016-10-19)
Qrow has no high opinion of most of Atlas' citizens. Atlas is the youngest and arguably most successful kingdom. Before the "Great War", it was known as Mantle, founded by settlers who, for unknown reasons, traveled to the northernmost continent, Solitas. The cold climate and large mountains protected the settlers from Grimm, but also forced them to adapt to survive. They did so by developing advanced technology faster than the rest of Remnant. The "Great War" gave Mantle another boost, as new forms of Dust application and weaponry allowed it to expand its territory, as well as Dust mining and research. The territory around the kingdom's combat school, Alsius, was used to build new facilities. After the war, the school was renamed as Atlas and took in many war veterans. New Dust technologies were used to beef up the school grounds, which expanded fast and helped secure surrounding areas. Later on, the military, labs, research facilities and residential areas moved to Atlas. The new city began to outgrow Mantle, and the decision was made to move the capital, renaming the kingdom as Atlas. According to Qrow, some people call this time "a golden age of prosperity", but to the people left in Mantle, it was "the coldest winter they ever knew."
WR124"Vacuo"2:58October 20, 2016 (2016-10-20)
To Qrow, Vacuo may have had it harder than the people of Mantle. The kingdom, located at the western end of Sanus, was "a paradise" before men destroyed it, creating a barren and desolate wasteland. Vacuo was once an oasis in the surrounding desert, bursting with natural resources, geographical defenses, and the world's largest deposit of Dust. Many nomads settled there, and Vacuo began to thrive. However, the rest of the world had to adapt to survive, while Vacuo's society lived a life of complacency. Once the other kingdoms set their eyes on Vacuo's resources, nobody could stop them. Years of conflict, unrestricted mining and ecological desasters followed. Now, the "paradise" is gone: citizens live in makeshift homes, travelling frequently in response to fleeting resources or occasional Grimm attacks. A formal government was established after the "Great War", but the citizens don't care for its laws. Shade Academy is considered the only source of order. However, Vacuo still exists, and its citizens have a mutual respect for one another, following one unspoken rule: "If you can survive here, then you're welcome here." Qrow remembers that Ozpin would always say that the four kingdoms are a representation of what mankind is capable of when working together, lamenting that they would need Ozpin now.
WR135"Between Kingdoms"3:18November 12, 2016 (2016-11-12T20)
Qrow explains that areas between kingdoms are mostly populated by Grimm. Trained Huntsmen and Huntresses should be fine on the road, as long as they don't encounter large packs. There are also small villages and towns throughout the land, inhabited by people who either don't want to deal with life in the kingdoms, are upset with how the kingdoms are governed, or simply prefer this lifestyle. If a town is founded by "smart" people, it can survive the same way the kingdoms do: with natural barriers and strong defenses. Frequent Grimm attacks eradicate most towns without proper defenses after about a year. Another problem are wandering bandits, groups of usually skilled fighters who also prey on convoys. These bandit tribes have a tendency to attack, raid and burn down towns which are at their weakest. Grimm attacks often occur directly after bandit attacks, or the other way around. If townsfolk lived through a bandit attack, the negative emotions caused by the fight attract Grimm. The other way around, raiders appear directly after a Grimm attack. Bandits never stay anywhere for too long because the Grimm threaten them as well. According to Qrow, almost all of Remnant has been mapped, but there are some areas from where nobody has returned alive, places where "she" (Salem) could possibly be.
WR146"Faunus"4:40November 26, 2016 (2016-11-26T20)
Faunus are an important humanoid species. Every Faunus has a single animalistic trait, for example cat ears. Existing at least as long as mankind, Faunus are genetically compatible with humans. The children of a Faunus and a human will always be Faunus. According to Qrow, the history of Faunus and humans is full of conflicts. In ancient times, humans were afraid of Faunus. They avoided them, pushed them out of settlements or brutally hunted them. Humans began to outnumber Faunus at some point, and Faunus saw them as a threat. Humans often exploited Faunus, for example as cheap labor forces. A Grimm attack on a village in Sanus was a first turning point: the two races united to defend their home against their shared enemies. Another milestone was the aftermath of the "Great War": Remnant was desperate for compromises, and one of them involved the Faunus, who were awarded equal rights as citizens and received the island continent of Menagerie to govern for themselves. According to Qrow, this was still a bad deal for the Faunus. Today, Faunus live all over Remnant, but the promised fair treatment varies in quality in different regions. With a lot of Faunus packed together on Menagerie (their "safe haven"), conflicts still continue, and the Faunus are organised now - for example in the White Fang.
WR157"Schnee Dust Company"4:28December 17, 2016 (2016-12-17T20)
Qrow has a negative opinion on the present day Schnee Dust Company, which has a monopoly on the extremely valuable and important Dust products in Remnant. This wasn't always the case: its founder, Nicholas Schnee, son of a Dust miner, was born in Mantle after the end of the "Great War", during the kingdom's transformative period in which it depended on others for Dust resources. Nicholas worked in the mines, went to combat school and studied. After his father's death, Nicholas used his small inheritance to fund an expedition for new Dust deposits. He was successful and founded the SDC, which became known for quality, affordability and trust. Nicholas personally oversaw every expedition and expansion. He gained the trust of his men and opened businesses in every kingdom. Nicholas was forced into early retirement, mostly because of health issues following years of working in Dust mines. A man named Jacques Gelé married Nicholas' daughter, took on the Schnee name and convinced Nicholas that he was the "right" successor. Jacques is a "cunning businessman" under whose leadership the SDC became more profitable than ever. It dominates the industry, but with questionable methods: cheap labor forces, dangerous working conditions, destroying the competition, company propaganda. In Qrow's opinion, Jacques Schnee only cares about winning, and with him in charge, the future of the once good Schnee name is uncertain.
WR168"The Great War"7:20January 14, 2017 (2017-01-14T20)
The "Great War" lasted around ten years, preceded by a century full of tension. Mistral had conquered Anima and made an alliance with Mantle, based on exchanges of supplies and technology. An "incident" in Mantle led to a decree that abolished the arts and repressed self-expression, an attempt to control the citizens' emotions to reduce Grimm attacks. Mistral partly complied when Mantle tried to enforce the decree in other kingdoms. This and other issues, such as Mistral and Mantle's treatment of citizens or maintenance of slavery, caused conflicts with Vale. Mistral wanted to expand at the east coast of Sanus, clashing with settlers from Vale. The king of Vale avoided conflict, but settlers from both sides didn't: a riot turned into the first battle of the "Great War". Mantle supported Mistral and battles started in both Anima and Sanus. Grimm attacked all combatants, sometimes forcing cease-fires between the humans, necessary to deal with the monsters. Vacuo stayed neutral at first, but when Mantle and Mistral attempted to force its leaders to join their side, they supported Vale, fearing the other side's victory. The war ended with the "Vacuo campaign": Mistral and Mantle attempted to take control of Vacuo's Dust mines to cut off supplies for their enemies. The king of Vale led the forces of Vale and Vacuo into battle. Armed with crown, sword and sceptre, he decimated enemy forces. The "deadliest battle of the war" cost many lives and created the legend of the "Warrior King". In the end, everyone bowed to the king of Vale, who refused to rule over Remnant and established the treaty of Vytal instead. Territories were redistributed, slavery abolished, governments restructured. The last king of Vale founded the Huntsmen academies and gave his most trusted followers command over them. He promised to teach mankind how to fight, but only if they wouldn't fight against each other. Qrow says that mankind hasn't kept its end of the bargain.
