Maki. Maki. Maki. Can we just dicuss the fact that Yang got her ass(I have to curse on this one) and boobs handed to her? Like, Yang. Bhad Ass Boss Bitch Yang, got FLATLINED by  some chick who barely comes up past her knee caps. She didn't even have a chance of using her Semblance, because freaking Neo isn't an idiot, and didn't get punched even once. ONCE. It was a flawless victory on her part. Reality check indeed.

I also wondered how Weiss survived the chainsaw attack, but then I rememberd Aura and how Weiss' wasn't diminshed like Yang's was. Still, they're all a bit incompetant without Ruby. Weiss could should have taken Neo,and Yang, the chainsaw guy. I know, I know, story reasons blah, character development reasons, blah. But I can't complain, I liked how the battles turned out anyway. However, personally. I always thought it more practical to take on an enemy together(although without Ruby, pretty sure they'd suck), rather than splitting up one by one and subsequently getting your butt beat. I mean, I feel like that would be a much quicker tactic. One could argue that for time purposes they split up, but...they failed to stop the train anyway. *shrugs* Oh well,  everything has a purpose I suppose.

Vermillion. I, like everyone else, immediately thought she was mama Long. Time will tell. But in the meantime, she scared the color out of Neo's eyes. Literally. I found that so profound. Like Neo. Lost. Her. Eye. Color. And. Almost. Shat. Bricks. She did wanna catch them hands. Mama Yang. I want mooooooooorrrreeeee. In my head I thought of a showdown between her and Cinder.

Overall, yes. Everyone has been complaining about how our little protagonists are OP, but now this episode has effectively shown that they are but ants compared to everybody else outside of the kingdoms. I loved it. This was the first time EVER in the show that I was actually afraid for their lives. Particularly Weiss(my heart dropped when Bane smashed her face into the ground and attempted to rip her apart).

Good build up indeed!!! Ruby's face in the end gave me chills!! She means business!! The City is under attack! Freaking Cinder!!!!!! AAhfiagbksfkjsbkubjugknbkufbuk

The finale is going to blow our minds.
