Okay then, reposting the original commment.

Just gonna throw my two cents in. In regards to the fight, I agree Blake would win. In addition to the above mentioned points in regards to their weaponry and fighting styles, there is also experience to account for. Sun we only know has studied at Haven Academy, but Blake we know has been on the Front Lines before when she was with the White Fang. Since we don't have any evidence to suggest that Sun has more than basic school training, Blake seems to outweigh him in the experience department.

As for the whole Blake and Sun volume four thing, they were both jerks. Sun may have been trying to help out, but his methods made him come off more like an insensitive jerk. I should know, as my actions come across as that sometimes IRL. The falling through Ghira's door being an example. Blake was trying to talk with her dad, and while Sun did have a valid worry, he jumped the gun and barged in without considering what was going on in there. I'm not sure if he was eavesdropping cause that door doesn't look too stable to begin with, so he shouldn't have been able to lean against it for too long. I tend to think he rounded the corner and ran into the door thinking he could just start banging on it. Blake may have been suffering from PTSD, but she too came off as more abrasive then necessary. In addition to slapping Sun repeatedly, regardless as to whether or not he deserved it, she then chucked his scroll (we never did find out if he got it back), went on a rant when he just woke up from being injured, but also dismissed his concerns entirely rather than either consider them. I know she didn't want to FIGHT the White Fang at the moment, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't fight her. Rather than at least listen though, she chucked his scroll. I'll cut her some slack for the aforementioned PTSD, but she comes off as whiny. SomeoneYouUsedToKnow, you said it yourself in the V4E11 recap: "Blake then, instead of saying something like "what were you thinking" or "are you ok?", starts telling Sun that it's for things like this that she's a Forever Alone. Which is....kind of radical considering that before Sun, only 1 person ever got hurt because of her: Yang. Kinda whiny, all things considered.  Ruby saw 2 friends (and 1 enemy) die in her face in 1 night and is still going with no complaining and hardly showing guilt once. Blake saw a friend be shocked but still alive, 6 months after seeing a friend be disarmed but still alive, and suddenly she's done with it enough for a scene like this. So whiny." The two both acted like jerks during the volume, even though they didn't intend to. Both had valid concerns, Blake wanting to empty some emotional baggage, and Sun thinking the WF would come after her, its just that Blake having PTSD and Sun seeming to lack impulse control caused this.
