Figures. I read your older analysies (grammar be damned...) in the meantime, and I figure that when you say "There will be an X involving Y and an unknown Z" you imply "that's my guess" :P Oh well, good to know.

On the Grimm front, it would be funny if civilization was a litteral light for their darkness. The closer to it, the less dark (read: powerful) the shadows are. That would explain why something that can be mass-slaughtered by the likes of Glynda can prevent a city from being established: because, away from an established city, things get... trickier.

On a side note: reason i find RWBY so awesome is, it's so close to my ideal of a world. Had I been a company, I'd be investigating corporate espionage right now XD And that is awesome, because frankly I get to see my world take shape by a pro. But, if I had to guess based on that, the Grimm we've seen are literal plot hooks more than an actual menance.
