I guess we're on opposite ends of the situation revolving around Ruby's silver eyes affecting Cinder, then. I have an impossible time believing that all Maidens are weak against SEWs, considering the origins of the Maiden powers, especially when we have the fact that Cinder utilized a Grimm, something said to be heavily affected by SEWs' powers, to steal the Fall Maiden powers. If something comes up in the show that suggests that all Maidens can be affected by SEWs and hints to a reason for that, then I'll reconsider.

Now, what I want to see in Volume 5...

Well, I recall there being something about Miles talking about Ilia's Faunus trait and how the show will get into that a little more, in the Volume 4 Directors Commentary. I'd really like for it start getting into that sometime in Volume 5. I would be really interested if the thing about her Faunus trait is that, since she can look Human a lot of the time, that has had an effect on who she is as a person, through her experiences in the past.

Think about it - she naturally looks Human, and as such, some Faunus might not consider her to fit in among their ranks quite as much, especially since she is so passable that they might feel she experiences less discrimination. Meanwhile, if she hangs around Humans and accidentally changes color, they realize she's a Faunus in a very surprising way, and when people who are strongly discriminatory toward a certain group are surprised by the discovery that someone is of that group... it tends to end badly.

The reason I've thought about all this is that she suddenly became angry and lashed out at Sun for saying "She doesn't even look like a Faunus." That might be a very touchy subject for her.

Speaking of Sun, I would love to see him calm the hell down this Volume... He needs to stop screaming all the time and acting like he only exists to be the butt of the joke.

I want Blake to prove that she's done pushing people away and done running and that she's ready to treat Sun better.

We probably won't get to see it this Volume, but I really want them to show us Jacques actually being as horrible of a person as they keep making him out to be. They made a huge mistake not showing us more of how he and Weiss naturally interact when Weiss is not misbehaving.

I kinda want Qrow to give Jaune some training. I think that would be interesting.

I want them to bring back the nunchuck mode of Sun's weapon. Surely they have given it a simpler, easier-to-use rig by now?

Still waiting for the Cheshire Cat character.

I want them to reveal whether or not Raven can turn into a raven, and I would really like them to show for certain that Qrow can turn into a crow.
