I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the policemen played by Burnie and Joel are not the only law enforcement officials in the entire city. Also, Roman wears gloves but most of the lackeys do not, meaning they could identify who tons of the individual terrorists are just by checking out who brushed against the wall of the place. I agree with you about the Tukson murder. It would have been nice to have some sort of acknowledgement of its occurrence, even if it were just a brief glimpse of a TV or newspaper article mentioning that it had happened.

Ah, shit. Forgot about Winter mentioning the Paladins. Although I do wish they had made a greater deal of it than that one throwaway line of dialogue. Like, maybe someone could have questioned the decision to make Ironwood head of security at the tournament when he can't even keep his own cargo secure... Or something like that.

When did they mention partners? I don't remember them being brought up again after the initiation. Like, even when Weiss is trying to be nice to Ruby in "The Badge and the Burden, Part 2", she refers to herself as Ruby's "team-mate", rather than partner. Even in that moment of intimacy, they still decided not to mention the fact that they are supposed to be working together. It seems to be a functionally useless title.

Maybe nobody else wanted to get involved, but there's a difference between starting a fight and just pushing someone away - and like I say, why would four first-years pick on someone in a more senior year whose team are known across the school for being able to absolutely obliterate Grimm (and indeed do so on a daily basis) in the first place? That's like Iceland declaring war on the USA.

Ah, I understand. Still, I would like to know how that match-up was approved in the first place. I know Pyrrha's meant to be an internationally-renowned fighter (and obviously she won anyway), but four-on-one is hardly fair.
