User blog:Maki Kuronami/Lesson 8: Teamwork and Team Naming

So... this episode.

We get to see both Team RWBY and Team JNPR at work.

And it is badass.

As predicted, Nora wielded a hammer. That's also a grenade launcher. I'm fine with that.

The teamwork of both teams is friggin' awesome. Team RWBY relies on alot of long range attacks, with Yang and Blake usually dealing chip damage, while Ruby and Weiss deals the finishing blow.

Weiss... demonstrated something we don't know yet. That black magic circle. I'd say it's due to the influence of Blake's ribbon but that doesn't make sense. It turns red once Ruby is sling-shot towards the Roc.

Meanwhile, Blake attempted to take down the bird alone at first, though. Points for trying since it's because of that attempt that they got an estimation of how durable it was.

Speaking of which, what the hell is Blake's ribbon made out of? =\

Team JNPR's teamwork, relied on Jaune's coordination. He's not on par with Pyrrha in terms of skill, but I'd say, he faught a few this time, and we get a little confirmation that his sword has no powers at all. It's pretty much an ordinary sword.

And I like that better.

Pyrrha lives up to her reputation. She's, at the moment, the best fighter in Team JNPR.

Nora... is batshit. She's the equivalent of Yang and Ruby in terms of damage output, dealing the decisive blow on the Deathstalker like it's Tuesday.

Ren... well, Nora tired him out so I guess he had a terrible showing this time around. Besides, he already showed off in a previous episode so I guess that's justified.

Now onto team naming.

We've made a confirmation that it's not based on the leader's name alone, given that Jaune's team is not named after him. I guess it's whatever Ozpin can think of on the fly. Which would say that the ridiculous team names that the fanon made up (Guilty of this as well. >_>) may actually not be as ridiculous as I thought.

Then there's Roman.

However, I'm not that concerned for him, since I'm too busy looking at the Vale City map.

It's coastal.

WC-83, your theory that Beacon was across the ocean was jossed, but your theory that Vale is in a coastal area was correct.



However, the exact location? Balls, I can't find it since a lot of the northern ends of every continent is too small for me to decipher where ''exactly. ''

Overall, this episode was astral win. That's all I've got.
