1. So, Marcus was All For One. And yet he died like a moron off-screen. Absolutely Pathetic. He was an assassin and I assume he had years of experience, he should've been stealing Semblances left and right to become the ultimate predator or some shit.

2. Then there's Maria herself who was just given "better reflexes" as a Semblance,

3. If there's one incredibly annoying thing about Tyrian objectively, is that his generic insanity means that when he's actually explaining shit he makes no sense so he just wastes everyone's time.

The only thing I could understand from everything he told The Ones is "You better like it here, because you can't leave. Also me and Moustachoman are going to Atlas to make sure Ironwood doesn't stop being a paranoid fool".

4. It's nice to get more info on Pyrrha and Sanctum. Though now I really want to know any other Combat Schools in Anima, because the distance from Mistral to Argus is....pretty big.

5. Everyone's out looking for the 14 year old kid who ran away....and Qrow's just lying uselessly on the entrance. What an excellent way to show how little fucks he gives about the little kid.

6. And speaking of buying clothes, couldn't he have done something as simple as leaving a freaking note? Geez, fuck Rose Garden, Oscar and Blake are the true Soulmates here.

7. Qrow being a pessimistic drunkass is getting reaaaaally annoying. It was understandable back at the farm, but now it's just getting old and stupid.

8. When RWBY+JNR jump at Oscar, pause the video repeatedly/watch it in super slow speed. And look at the group while at it. Just do it. 1. We don't know what limitations his Semblance had. Maybe he could only use the most recent one he stole, and he had stolen someone else's after he stole Merc's. We just don't know. Or maybe he was just a stubborn idiot who applied his "Using Semblances is a crutch and makes you weak" and made a rule for himself not to use the Semblances he stole because "wah i'm not a weakling, i don't need them".

2. Her Semblance basically lets her sense attacks slightly before they happen and thus react to them right when they happen. That's why she named it Preflexes, combining "Pre" and "reflexes". It may be plain, but it's useful.

"Hard to explain, but I can sense everything better than most and react to attacks almost before they happen."

3. He also made it clear that the true reason Mercury is working for Salem is because he's so used to living a life of killing and violence that he's afraid to live any other life because he just doesn't know how to live as anything other than a killer.

Tyrian was trying to give them advice in his own weird way, telling them that their reasons for working for Salem were not actually suitable to the life they were living. Emerald did it just to be there with Cinder, and Mercury is doing it because living any other life is outside of his comfort zone. Neither one is doing it because it actually makes them happy. Meanwhile, Tyrian is doing it because he loves it.

4. The Kingdom of Mistral itself is pretty big. Also, in a CRWBY video, they said that the design for Argus draws partially from... I can't remember if they said Greek or Roman stuff... But either way, this kinda makes it make more sense that Pyrrha didn't have an Asian design despite coming from Mistral. She lived in Argus, may have even been born there or somewhere near there.

5. Qrow didn't know Oscar was gone. Remember? Qrow stormed off while they were all standing outside the Atlas base.

6. I really don't think Oscar left just to buy new clothes. I think he left to give everyone some time alone without him around, after hearing Ren say that they needed time to themselves. He probably figured "I'm housing the source of their anger, so I should just get away from them for a while", and then he did some thinking while he went for a walk, decided he'd still help fight Salem, and figured he should have better battle attire than his farmboi clothes.

Also, lol at the OscarxBlake.

7. That's kinda the point. He's causing Ruby to get seriously fed up with his shit, and him pessimistically shutting everyone down caused her to get pissed off and take charge.

Also, everyone's just kinda been enabling Qrow's alcoholism, and his emotional issues and whatever else are the cause for his alcoholism. If you want an alcoholic to stop their bullshit, one of the things you have to do is put your foot down and not budge, but most people don't do that until their alcoholic loved one pushes them too far.

8. I did, and it's so funny but also low-key horrifying because of the expressions on their faces while they do it.
