The Dumbledore/Grindelwald comparisons intensify. Though seriously, this basically Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship in a nutshell, except Ozpin and Salem went further. Also, this is pretty much 85% Salem's fault, and the 15% that Ozpin shoulders is what he did when he and Salem were co-rulers of their totalitarian kingdom. Also, I'm not sure where all of you are getting your only outsiders/Team RWBY/chosen souls can defeat Salem and not Ozpin. The God of Light told her she could only die when she finally appreciated/made peace with both life and death, something that doesn't make her susceptible to outsiders at all. Finally, God of Light is voiced by Jason Rose, I think, and I don't really blame the Gods at all for any of what they did (though it honestly reminds me of the fall of Xerxes in FMA manga/FMAB) except for that the God of Light lied about who was responsible for the destruction of mankind, i.e. that Salem was primarily responsible and that he also was involved. Would have saved a lot of pain and heartache.

P.S. Wish we had gotten more stuff on the origins of Faunus and Dust, but that may be for another time.
