My thoughts:

1) Tai told Yang "You both act as if the easiest way to tackle an obstacle is through it. That strength is all that matters in a fight. But if you just take a second look, then maybe you see there's a way around as well."

When Yang went up and over that Bandit leader it clicked that Yang finally learned Tai's lesson. She literally learned to go around. And Yang didn't even use her semblence. I love that fight for so many reasons even though it is only 32 seconds long.

2) Twice this episode Ozpin took over Oscar without asking. I am losing sympathy for Ozpin every episode. Oscar is fading fast.

3) Ruby said "Finally!" when she knocked out Oscar. This implies that she had never knocked him out before. But we also learn that Oscar hadn't been using his aura the whole time. So Ruby is so bad at CQC up until now that she couldn't even beat someone who wasnt using aura? Wow.

4) Juane's semblence is basically gauranteed this volume w/ all the foreshadowing.

5) So Raven trusted Ozpin once and was screwed over. I can see now why Spring Maiden stays with Raven. They both feel they have been burned.

6) And that is Raven's semblence. So what does that say about her personality? Any clue? I have no idea. It also means that Raven must have someone she has bonded with at the camp. Otherwise, where did she go after she finished talking with Qrow? After she saved Yang?

7) I am really happy that Yang is actually looking for Ruby.

8) Raven wouldn't make a portal for her own daughter? It would take like 2 seconds! What a cunt.

9) Watching Weiss melt like a snowflake in that last scene was beautiful. Remember when she was all cold shoulder and up-tight?
