Hrm, I'm not sure if it's a case of her not being threatening anymore, to me it's more like her weaknesses are finally being shown, and have been used against her in this Volume. And she has no right to win this upcoming battle against Raven, a wiser and more experienced warrior. Though as for her dying, the question remains of who would succeed her, who would she think of in her final moments? With how much of an egomaniac she is, I can see her thinking only of herself in her final moments ie "No, this can't be!  I don't want to die!  I DON'T WANT TO DIE!  I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Of course if she does that then the Maiden powers would go on to a random host, though I can also see her being arrogant enough to try and reclaim her failing powers, only for it to be in vain. So that might actually work out, Cinder has become more and more of a Smug Snakeas the story has progressed, and we saw she didn't plot the Fall of Beacon alone, despite what the Beacon Arc showed at the time, so she's definitely no Magnificent Bastard,not anymore. Her mighty breakdown can't come soon enough, it would be ironic, as well as appropriate, if it happened in this episode. Can't wait.
