User blog:Maki Kuronami/Lesson 12: The art of stealing transcripts and it's repercussions

Today's episode didn't wrap up the Jaune... well, Arc. So that means we get another chapter devoted to him, just in time for the volume finale.

Let's start on the interesting subject of this episode: The Faunus.

Apparently, they were involved in a war before. Not sure if it's related to the War that Jaune mentioned way back in episode 2.

Oh yeah. They have friggin' night vision.

That. Is. Awesome.

Seriously though, I expected something along along the lines of "being able to see farther than a normal human" when Pyrrha tried giving Jaune the answer.

Armored Asshat Cardin is still a douche. Now even Pyrrha wants to break his legs. I also like the foreshadowing he's listening to Jaune and Pyrrha's conversation.

Noticeably, the R&Y siblings aren't in this episode. A surprising change of pace for Ruby, given that she appeared in every episode so far besides this one.

Remember that theory I had that Pyrrha will be training Jaune to get him to badass-tier? Yeah, scrap that. Jaune just rejected her offer.

And turns out he has a knack for stealing other people's transcripts. Though perhaps how he received that will have a justified reason later on or if we're lucky, next chapter.

Of course, every action has it's consequences and now Cardin's taking advantage of that. I always thought Cardin was just a general armored asshat.

But if he's a manipulative douche, then he's taking a spot in my favorite list.
