2 volumes ago, I would have leapt at the prospect of Ruby being angry and subsequently, kicking some major butt. But, due to how she's been treated by the show, I only laughed at loud when she delivered that "I'm angry" line. It'll only mean something if she does something..if something about her fighting changes. Of course, I'm an optimist and a Ruby boy for life, so I look forward to seeing Emerald and Mercury get the semblances knocked out of them. Ruby is serious now. She has taken charge. She ready to stop playing nice and shake some trees.

Hazel's reason was, admittedly, disappointing. Seriously, it kind of soiled my view of the character, really. But, it was nice to finally see someone inject themselves with Dust! Phantom, your speculation about Hazel is very interesting! Would have loved to see that kind of dynamic.

Ozpin was goin IIIIINNN though. That was nice to watch. It just didn't seem to do much of anything to Hazel. Eee he and Qrow are in trouble.

When Jaune's semblance was revealed, I cackled. I had to pause the video and laugh my butt off. Looks like that animation error was Jaune having the bruise again. I'm fine with Jaune being a healer. It works for me. And it gives him another layer. Meaning, he can feel useful now. I'm sure he isn't some Golden Elixir. You see how long it's taking him to heal Weiss? He probably has limitations too. Well, of course this is the infant stage of his semblance. It'll grow and evolve. So he may be able to do everything save for resurrecting the dead.

That twist was wonderful. It got me good. I absolutely loved it. Here's hoping to a dang good Maiden fight. Cinder's power-hungry butt needs to get BEEEEAAAATTT.

Hmmmmmmm yeah, overall I enioyed this episode. It felt like all the tension from the previous episode was dispelled. Eh. And too much standing around and talking which is what I expected. But overall, I liked it! We got a good twist, a nice reveal, some show don't tell(i.e. Cinder!!!), and a beautiful look at the Haven vault.
