That was a damn good read, thank you for this blog!

1. I'm not sure if Blake was following anyone really. She may very well have been scouting mulitple students, before she picked a partener. After possibly see many fall, she decided to step in and kill the second Beobear and make eye contact with Yang. After seeing that she could actually take care of herself and not be someone she would have to worry about.

2. Agreed. Ruby and Weiss are a mismatch at the moment, and both a at fault for what happened. Weiss simply lake experiance, as seen by the fact that she actually had to recount her training to get her stance right before attacking. Then selecting a fire attack in the woods, which would have started a fire regardless of Ruby's kill stealing. Ruby, as you said, was showing off and that didn't help at all. These two have a ways to go before they can actually work well together.

3. I think you're pretty spot on with all of this. Aura in RWBY is like the Force in Star Wars, Reiatsu in Bleach ect.

4. Agreed again with Jaune. From the moment I saw him in Ep 2 and what we've seen of him since, made me wonder just what exactly was he doing at Beacon? He had no knowledge of other schools, never heard of a Landing Strategy or Aura, and simply doesn't seem to have under went ANY form of training at all.

I think Ep 7 will show us a bit of Pyrrha and Nora's fighting abilities, before ending with our heroes arriving at the temple. Ep 8, mid volume full length episode, will have the teams obtain their artifacts and battle the Roc. Eps 9 and 10 will be their returning to the cliff and aftermath of the initiation. Ep 11, another full length episode, with everyone attending class finally. Eps 12 - 15 being the teams taking on class assignments and ep 16 being a full length episode. Teams return to Beacon, job well done, everything looks good. Then we cut to the bad guys, foreshadowing the conflict we'll see in Volume 2 of season 1 of RWBY.
