Pyrrha is a complete badass. However, I would not say that she's too powerful. Notice that she only held the upper hand when she was engaged with one person. Whenever multiple people attacked, she was hard beset and forced onto the defensive. And, why didn't we think of that? They'd already shown their willingness to alter the trailer to be misleading, as we see with the food fight. Now, it's clear that it's not part of the tournament, or anything, just sparring. We missed that trick. Speaking of tricks, that was a neat one, calling her weapons to her hand magnetically.

So Cinder et al are gauging their enemies strengths. Pyrrha's been added to a list, and they're going to remove their power. I interpret that, provisionally, as just breaking them psychologically, but they seem to have one of her hairs. Also, nice use of the Achilles motif, and some insight into Pyrrha's tournament background.

Blake's running herself ragged. I have a feeling she's going to make a bad mistake because of this. And RWBY is concerned about her, and about her social life. Admittedly, Sun's proposition was poor, but she's way too focused. And some tidbits about how Hunter education works: apparently they go on away missions. Maybe being embedded with professional Hunter actions, under supervision? And CFVY seems to have some form of organizational role, social chairs? Huh.

Singing Jaune is instantly an image macro. And some insights into Weiss, similar to our thoughts on Pyrrha, earlier. Jaune remains woefully oblivious, but seems to be improving martially.
