I think that this episode would have worked better if it had been fused with chapter 12, maybe 11. The battle against the grimm felt a bit too fast or boring on it's own but it might not have bothered me as much if something had happened before it.

And we finally saw Summer properly! She ended up being Ruby with different hair style, but who cares. Maybe this is a hint that we will learn more about her in the next volume.

Atlas is gorgeous. I assumed it was build on the clift or mountain top based on the hangar seen at the end of V4, but floating island works well for the futuristic dust kingdom better than well.

The after credits scene was nice. We now know that Salem can edit Grimm's appereance so maybe the one at the end of V4 (can't remember the name) was her creation as well... But yeah. Flying apes are nice, but I don't think those are that dangerous. Sure, the wings make gives them better access at Atlas, but they aren't that dangerous compared to the other Grimm we have seen.

Other minor things... Oscar's age was conformed and he's still 14. Am I the only one who wants to see him meeting with Whitley? Those two boys are guite similar, yet opposites when it comes to their designs so seeing them in same scene could be nice.

Also, what is with the post V4 Grimm and breathing fire? I understand that CRWBY wants to give them a long distance attack, but there are other tricks they could use. Like shooting bone spikes or something.

Oh and Yang and Blake might be together. They did the "sitting down and holding hands" thing that confirmed both Pyrrha/Jaune and Nora/Ren as a couple, but the scene still lacked the cheesy "offical couple song" from the background. We will see.

But yeah. All in all this was a nice volume. It'll probably be better if you watch all episodes at once but otherwise it was maybe my third favourite volume.
