It might be my stealth blind fanboyism, but I COMPLETELY disagree with your thoughts on the episode.

Also, I'm back after YEARS of being gone, no biggie :P

Anyways! I found the fight to be one of the better ones because it was still great despite the lack of the fast-paced style. It's reflective of Yang's growth in a sense in that it's slower and more methodical. Also, her left arm still acting up is a good way to show that she's not completely recovered.

Regarding Yang's confrontation with Raven, she's got A LOT of baggage to offload, but she actually keeps herself surprisingly composed given that baggage. Bandits don't seem to be the bargaining type, and Yang's in no mood or need of being a diplomat. She came for one thing, she proved herself doing so, she expects that she be given the time of day for said thing. Raven abandoned her team and family and joined back up with bandits that prey on the weak, and Yang definitely knows this by this point.

Regarding Weiss, she said that subtlety was right out the window. Notice that the little Knight Summon was hacking away at the bars. This heavily implies if not outright confirms that she was having her little Summon gradually cutting through the cage so that she could make a subtle escape. But then Yang shows up.
