Honestly Rarity should be an author of her own mystery novels like Shadow Spade lol I honestly think she'd be very good at it


I give this episode a 10 outta 10 because being a noir detective is awesome.


I love Rarity so much. She's amazing & hilarious. <br>Also Rarity & Rainbow Dash have a great dynamic, there should have been more episodes staring just those two.

Also Rarity & Rainbow Dash have a great dynamic, there should have been more episodes staring just those two.

The reason why there are not so mamy episodes with Rarity and Rainbow is because Rainbow doesn't have any fashion taste and what they can do together expect saving the world and helping someone if Rainbow can't stand even one minute in shop? She is a girl outside but inside she is a guy seriously

@@princessstarlaixyarixes8103 Aj and rarity are paired a lot tho

@@CrystalMuffyn AppleJack is not that manly like Rainbow.


Straight after the ‘heh, heh’, you came to the exact same conclusion as Rarity. That small verbal cue is what she used to top off her list of cues at the end of the episode, and you picked it up instantly! I’m pretty impressed

One thing I never noticed until this rewatch was that in that early scene, after the close up where Wind Rider makes that fake laugh is that Rarity's face has gone from the pleasant smile she had before to a completely neutral expression.  Her eyes don't give anything away, but she isn't smiling anymore once the camera pans out.


This is a fantastic episode. The noir parody is great. Rarity and Rainbow Dash make a fantastic dynamic. Rarity really knows the art of subduction.


This was just the perfect level of narm. You can tell that everyone involved in this project had an amazing amount of fun creating it and it just shines so well in the finished product. This is one of the best episodes of the series, easily. No lesson is learned, and only a bit of character growth happens (in that Rainbow is allowed to fly with the Wonderbolts for an official event), but you don't feel anything but satisfied. It's a nice break from all the feels of the season right before the three hardest hitting episodes in the season like jeepers fuck.


Spitfire's voice actress reminds me of Roz from Monsters Inc. so much, and it kills me that Roz was voiced by Bob Peterson, an animator. I can absolutely see Spitfire saying "I'm watching you, Dash. Always watching."


The mystery here kept trying to throw the viewer off, but it still could be pieced together pretty easily. Still a fun ride as we got to the truth. Loved Rarity's outfits and the whole style of this episode.

The thing that gives the culprit off too easily is the fact that he's been introduced in this episode as a single new character, so there's not much to choose from when looking for the suspect :q  If they had introduced more characters, like in "MMMystery on the Friendship Express", it might have been harder to figure out ;J

@@bonbonpony That's a dead giveaway. There's got to be more wrong options to hide the right one.


This is a fun Rarity episode, one of my favorites to rewatch from time to time. I enjoy all the moments with her playing the detective role, trying to get information from everypony in Canterlot.


Two Rarity Episodes in a row, this is good, love Rarity in this episode.


24:51 "Second time Spitfire's just rips the badge right off of someone."
I'm starting to suspect she gets a secret thrill from doing that.


19:30 "I was gonna say it was Wind Rider might've done it... but then they said it's a female."
The perpetrator was wearing a trenchcoat, sunglasses and a scarf covering most of his face at the time, which would have covered up the three identifying gender characteristics of a pony, body shape, muzzle shape, and eyelashes.  The only thing left to differentiate him from mares would be his height, but there are tall mares and short stallions, so that alone wouldn't be definitive.

Wind Rider could have simply shifted his voice a couple of octaves upward to make the shopkeeper assume he was a mare.

Or... He hired someone to make the order for him, who was disguised to make the witness don't know it wasn't Rainbow.

And then gave that mare his scarf to wear, and took it back with the stain on it, and wore that stained scarf the next day?

I know that cartoon villains can be pretty stupid, but that seems a bit much.

And then gave that mare his scarf to wear, _and_ took it back _with_ the stain on it, _and_ wore that stained scarf the next day?

I know that cartoon villains can be pretty stupid, but that seems a bit much.

@@Narrator007 That's a good point. But he must be pretty stupid to wear the stained scarf.

been looking for this comment... why did they say it was a girl??

@@psivy5942 My guess would be that Wind Rider covered himself up with all that clothing so he could disguise his voice to be like that of a mare and get away with it.  That other fake clue he left behind, the rainbow hairs, showed that he clearly was trying to frame Rainbow Dash.  So, I doubt it's coincidence that just about the only female he could make his raspy voice sound like would be hers.  Also, consider the fact that Wind Rider and RD have very similar coat colors, which would have been the only thing visible while he was wearing his trenchcoat, glasses, and scarf.


7:46 "Why they wearing their goggles?"
Probably so the animators didn't have to decide on all the other Wonderbolts' eye colors.


22:11 In order to save time and allow for a more amicable schedule, the animation staff only actually made around half the poses for any given Flash puppet.  The others are just mirrors of existing poses.  It works well enough, the signs are minor enough that, even if noticed they don't detract from the scene, but they are there if you look.  You see it a lot with ponies like Minuette and Lyra who have dual tone manes.  Especially in three quarter profile shots, the not-white part of their mane is always framing the side of the pony's face that's in focus, even though from the rear, the color is on one side and the white is on the other.  Here too, but with Wind Rider's scarf.  When Wind Rider suddenly turns to eye Rarity after she cuts off his appeal to his team, the stain remains in focus even though the side of Wind Rider's profile that's in focus has changed.


Ah yes, RarityDash’s 22-minute wet dream. While I’m not a RariDash shipper myself, I still quite enjoy this episode. It certainly helps that this episode contains the most adorable Rainbow Dash faces of the entire show (8:14 to 8:57, not to mention 10:59 😍).


This is a great episode. Th only thing that i dont like about the wonderbolts is that they blame raimbow without proof


2 rarity episodes in a row I just realized but Rarity and Rainbow Dash have a fun dynamic I wish there was more raridash episodes


Dude, I watch your reactions because you're, like, one of those fans of a show in which I would meet in conventions and I'd be doing the EXACT same thing: Witty comments, perverted jokes, and some good commentary.


Holy bro..! Totally awesome react ya did here :D
I just love this episode because of the very same reason you enjoyed it aswell and thats the best designed and most charming mare in whole equestria x3
Her marvelous outfits, her smart and charmy way to make everypony blush (and swetty ;D) and lbnl the fact, that she's always ready to cut her (fabulous) tail for a pony in need (well "element of generousity" for sure) made me love her just right from the beginning :'3
And eyy..! You're quite the first reactor I watched to, who appreciated such little tiny details just like when rarity putted some sunmilk on RDs nose or the metaphere with "all ducks in a row.. except one" while other reactors not even noticed..!
Really nice to meet another "Rare-Hunter" ayye ;3 - ya got my sub o7

And beside:
I also wondered how she exposed Windrider as the cheater because the cafe pony talked bout a female client. But after I thought about, I think, that the seller really wasn't  sure bout the gender but because the pony weared a scarf around the head and spoke with a pitched voice she decided it had to be a mare - well.. maybe, but works for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Pretty sure "Shadow Spade" is a reference to Sam Spade, the detective in The Maltese Falcon.


The boutique in Canterlot must have some serious structural issues if slamming the door can knock everything over like that.  Scary. 😐


Speaking of which, Raven has disappeared from all social media. I miss his reactions and commentary


Fangirl Dash. It’s adorable when she shows off her girly side now and then despite being a tomboy.


I love your commentary, I love your massive contrast of manly military man who makes a lot of mature jokes and a little girl's pony show. (Yes i know there is a lot more depth but that is surface level)


ahh RarityDash's #1 episode for obvious reasons glad to see you liked it as well

Noir Rarity and Fangirl Dash always make me laugh.


"I REALLY WANTED THAT BROCCOLI!" (Choke) Me choking on my broccoli after you said that. LOLs.


00:30 That's weird, because I find your reactions much more entertaining :q  That's YouTube for ya ;q
01:03 Hmm that might be it, because YouTube promotes content that they can squeeze more money from with their ads. But what's good for the advertisers, is usually opposite to what's good to content creators and their viewers, so I wouldn't take it as a good sign ;)  Just do what you do the best, and stay authentic. And if YouTube doesn't support you being you, then you don't need to support it either :J  I'm pretty sure your fans will follow you wherever you go (I'm sure I will).
03:32 Season 5 is where many people who weren't very fond of Rarity, changed their mind about her by 180° ;)
04:37 I guess they need to install rotating doors :)
06:20 Good, because this episode is full of them ;>  (BTW season 1 PonyBro:  "Blargh, dressesss... ;q " – season 5 PonyBro: "Yay, new outfits!" :D )
05:50 Rarity: "Hold my hat..."
08:40 Fun fact: Pinkie Pie's coat colour is the same colour as Fluttershy's mane & tail :)  (F8B9CE)  And Applejack's mane has the same colour as Fluttershy's coat (FFF798)  Did you know? :>
08:43 Interesting theory... :D
09:07 I see that your experience with "Turnabout Storm" may come handy in this episode ;>  Though it probably will be too easy for you to solve :q
09:52 Too much hanging out with Applejack? :J
10:10 It's a gradual scale :)
13:05 It's "Turnabout Storm" all over again, isn't it? ;>  And it's Rainbow Dash being accused & suspected again :J
14:32 "très chic" is French for "very stylish" :)  (And you're probably wondering now how many languages do I know? ;>  Latin, Greek, French, German, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Esperanto... several Equestrian languages...  :J That's part of my job of being a secret agent ;) )
16:55 And it works ;> She's squeezing information out of them like juice from lemons ;)
18:00 They're not that loud though. Your microphone doesn't quite catch their voices. Unless you hear them better than us, then OK, do your thing.
19:36 As always, you're on the right track, but you need more evidence to connect the dots ;)  And not every piece of information must be true ;>
23:55 Spitfire, are you OK? You seem to be short on breath :J  Rainbow Dash isn't ;)
24:48 Then you three should give up your badges too, for ungrounded accusations of Rainbow Dash :q
26:26 Witnesses can be mistaken, that's why we need evidence to support what they say, and cross-examination to verify if all their testimonies mesh up ;)

DWK, I can't wait till you're far enough to watch his stuff.


You are my #1 favorite MLP reaction youtuber.


Applegeek is my favourite MLP reaction youtuber,but now you're my 2.favourite I love your mature commentarie


Some people might think Rainbow was being pretty bitchy here, but I think you would probably be a little bit, too, if your whole dream were about to be ruined by someone else. I know I definitely would, so I don't entirely blame her.


(8:43) Oh, you’re in for it much later on in the series regarding that question.


Wait until you get a load of DWK... the thumbnail of his playlist is the back of a pony and there's 2 arrows from side ways pointing at it saying "pony but"... the thumbnail of his first video is a major spoiler that I did not avoid but its not too late for you... its from season 6 episode 6 so don't start DWK until you watched that episode.

Actually, he will probably end up going in chronological order, and you know DWK tends to reference future episodes.  Therefore, he should probably wait until at least after he's through with season 6 to even start any DWK.


If you look, the characters that run by the cake shop are Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

There were three, though. Who was the first one, Moriarty?


Raven Reacts sure does curse as much as you and any other reactor out there like FlamingShark, Kickassreaction, and LuffyIsCool, but the perversion on Raven is not there.

There's a difference between sexual jokes and perversion. Sex is an important part of healthy human (or animal) life, and it's kind of silly to deny it, especially in a form of harmless jokes. And PonyBro's jokes are definitely on the fun side, not on the creepy pervert side. If you want to see how creepy pervert side looks like, take a look at Cloudy Brony's channel, for example. That's why I'm OK with PonyBro's jokes, and not OK with Cloudy Brony's ones.

@@bonbonpony I don't mind the occasional DAT FLANK joke--I even downloaded GinjaNinjaOwO's "Bronies" video with the "Horses are Sexy" audio from Robot Chicken--but to be honest I unsubscribed from PonyBro briefly because of the sheer <b>bulk</b> of horse-f___ing references followed by apologies. (If Cloudy Brony's reactions are worse in that regard, I'm glad I've never sampled them.) But PonyBro has an honest appreciation for the show--even emotional investment in the characters--so I didn't stay away for long.

Flaming Shark is one of my favorite reactors, it’s a shame his hiatus’s are so ridiculous sometimes


While Applegeek is very popular and has tens of thousands of subs he is an anti-Rarity so he sucks... obviously he tries to hide that very well but I'm very good at reading between the lines.

Applegeek is Anti-Rarity? Well that's new :q  Any evidence?
I remember that some reacters were not very fond of Rarity because of the way she abuses her beauty and sex appeal to make ponies do what she wants and manipulating them. Especially when she does it to poor Spike. Or that she is too much whiny sometimes. But I don't remember Applegeek being one of them?...
Even though, people who say that about Rarity, they don't say it out of hate, but out of concern, because they want Rarity to be more multi-dimensional, like in this episode. (Although she used her seductive skills here too ;J but for the good this time.)

Applegeek always says that Rarity is using Spike and that she takes advantage of him... if you watch his reaction to a certain recent episode you will see that he actually said that he is not exactly a fan of Rarity... he keeps talking that Rarity is fake and then he says that Rarity could be sincere but then he goes back saying that we don't know, in spite Rarity being a good character... like I said, he hides it very well and almost any fan don't see it...

@@Anthony-eo3ro  Can you tell the episode number? I don't think it will be a spoiler? I'd like to take a look for myself.<br>That being said, people always have their favourite characters, and characters that they don't like from some reason (that can also change from episode to episode). But I don't see how it is a problem, as long as they don't try to force their opinions upon others. (And no, just expressing their opinion is not the same as forcing.) Especially if they have some valid reasons and they explain what those reasons are. You can always disagree with them, or provide some counter-arguments if you think that their opinion is unjust. But I take it as something good that different people have different opinions and talk about it freely, because this allows them to look at things from different perspectives and their ideas can "compete on the free market of ideas", so to speak ;) It definitely isn't something that would stop me from watching Applegeek's reactions, because most of the time his analyses are very in-depth and well thought through. (A bit too long for me, though, but what's 2x playback speed for ;) )

@@bonbonpony s09e19 is one of the many episode where Applegeek is being passive aggressive towards Rarity... believe or not some fans simply have an unreasonable endless hatred towards Rarity, one of the many examples would be Hobo Ryan... he always says how much he hates Rarity, one time he said that he hates her more than the devil... that's only one example... I mean episode s07e14 says it all... a lot of fans take Rarity's lessons the wrong way, one example would be "A Dog and Pony Show" saying that it teaches kids to whine to parents to get what they want.

@@Anthony-eo3ro I didn't say that I don't believe you about some fans hating Rarity, and I think I even brought it out myself in one of my previous comments ;)  As for Hobo Ryan, I wouldn't take his Rarity hate too seriously, it's kinda his type of "humour". And even if he genuinely does hate Rarity, then, well... that's just his opinion which he's entitled to, we don't need to share his views, do we? ;)  I would say that MLP is not HoboRyan's thing overall, because it's not just Rarity he is dissing :J  Maybe it was never his thing, or he was expecting a different type of content and gradually started to see that it's not what he expected, because I can tell that his interest in this show has been gradually decaying with every episode.<br>Thanks for the episode number, I'll check Applegeek's reaction to it, as I promised.

@@bonbonpony The thing that annoyed me the most is that the anti-Rarity fans always take flaws from Rainbow Dash and puts them on Rarity... a few examples : Rarity was called arrogant but RD is the arrogant one, RD is always mean and rude and apparently Rarity is the one with the bad attitude... I mean RD kept saying in Dragonshy to leave Fluttershy behind... called Twilight's planned activities with Cadance lame in "Three's a Crowd" ... called Spike lame in "Dragon Quest"... when Rarity use magic in the pillow fight with Applejack they called her cheater in spite of Applejack using the laso and using her bucking strenght to shoot the pillows but when RD flied at the jump challenge in the iron pony competition they said nothing and the list of flaws goes on forever... I despise anti-Rarity, they are more awful than you know.

Like you say we are mature:)

That looks like Carmen Sandiego's outfit does it not?


Hey i like your reactions and applegeeks as well. Your dooing great


the fact when watching gravity falls i always get disappointed how theirs barely any jokes their


6:10 Rainbow Dash!  Did you suddenly grow a third foreleg?!

I think that’s just supposed to be her stomach, but I agree it looks weird.


Don't even think about it, man.

It's No Nut November.
