Definitely, and I can see a lot of people with a grudge against Yang targeting her in Volume 4. At that point, Taiyang will have to get involved to protect her from any lynch mobs seeking her blood. Yeah, her arc could be the ugliest in Volume 4, not something I relish but I can see it happening. SomeoneYouUsedToKnow wrote: I really doubt they would think that. Karma is supposed to be personal, not national. Unless they meant the arm.

But besides that, I can see it happening......if she even chooses to get out of her house in the middle of nowhere though. I think if she stays in her house the whole time it'd be a pretty boring arc, her timeskip design suggests she's no longer bedridden, though clearly she's in no condition to fight. To me, the only thing she'll be fighting against in Volume is her own personal demons, possibly insanity as well, as she struggles to pick up the pieces of her shattered life.

But it could also be that they won't see each other until the last second of the season finale. I think that this season will be the four of them surviving on their own without each other.

I also think that this season will show Blake lose her sanity  or slowly drive her self crazy due to her own ideology, Blake will confuse herself with whats right or wrong. which will make her vulnerable and easy to manipulate.

I think Ruby's innocent will only continue to break and she will witness things that she can't runaway from. she will probably also struggle with accepting people's own ideologies beside hers. She will need to understand that just because you think you 'know' a person dosn't mean you actually know them. And if she can properly handle the idea that to succeed one must sacrifice kind of mentality. I think in future seasons Ruby will eventually come to despise the concept of what being a huntress/hunter stands for.

Weiss will probably stay dormat to everything around her. IDK can't really think of anything for her, except that she won't do much fighting and will probably be deeply involved with politics.

Yang, probably gave up fighting, loss the will to do anything. She will probarly spend this whole season on finding inspiration to fight again. I'm guessing it's going to be a random kid that gets killed by a grim or something like that.

I think this whole season will focus more on psychological- topics. That sounds about accurate, I doubt any of the team will encounter one another in this volume, maybe in the next will their paths start to cross once more.

Not sure about Blake losing her mind, except perhaps to loneliness due to her circumstances. I can see her using the Batman approach in tackling the White Fang ie trying to take them down all by herself so no one else gets hurt.

As for Ruby, yeah, she can never view the world the same way again, not after what happened in Volume 3. Not sure if she'll see any more of huamnity's "dark side," not until she and Team RNJR reach Haven anyway. Though yeah, she'll realize being a Huntress isn't what she originally believed, which will further shatter her innocence. How she'll tkae the revelation, remains to be seen.

And yeah, poor Weiss is crumbling under Papa Schnee's rule, he wasn't going to let her escape like Winter did. I'd be amazed if he even lets Winter back into the house, not after that "fiasco" Ironwood pulled, so that's even more pressure on Weiss to "fulfill her duties to the Schnee household," which is even more oppressive because she actually had real friends at Beacon. Now, she's even lonelier than before. Hopefully the lyrics to "Mirror Mirror II" and "It's My Turn" are realized in this volume, but that remains to be seen.

As for Yang, yeah, it might take something like that to get her out of DGAS mode. But before that, I can see her hitting the bottle and smashing any bystanders who dare mock her plight; when she's not brooding at the house, wondering what she'll do with her life. Though hopefully by the end of Volume 4, she'll start getting back on track and healing her broken soul. Only then can she focus on fixing her broken body.

Indeed, Volume 4 will feature more character development than actual fighting, which would be a ncie change of pace after Volume 3. Though I know, the worst is yet to come.
