User blog comment:RPGsrule/Team Pairing Speculation/@comment-11481298-20130812115837

Gotta agree, Beacon Academy has the absolute best initiation/test/Chuunin-exam-esque thing I've ever seen. (Many comparison to the Chuunin exams in the internet.) The thing I liked best about it was the whole 'eye contact' thing. I literally had to pause the ep after hearing that. (And speaking of which, Yang's shades are apparently there for a reason, so says a crew member. I'm going with everyone's guess that it's so she can pick her partner.)

I don't see anything unfortunate about Ruby and Weiss being paired up, but I would like it if Weiss ended up having Yang or Blake as a partner. (Speaking of, I stared at that Weiss pun for a good ten seconds.)

As for Blake being there, I'm really not sure what to believe. Except that she's a ninja. That's the only undeniable truth to me. (Well, personally I think it was a joke, but we'll be seeing Blake in the next episode anyway. She either snuck there somehow or ended up in a different batch of launched students.)

For Team Not-RWBY, I'm about fine with anything, and, well, BenRG's pretty much said my thoughts about them already. XD
