User blog:Maki Kuronami/Volume 2 Speculation: New characters

Okay, Volume 2's opening got released and most of us collectively came when we watched it.

So we've got at least a whole month to discuss about the opening, let's do it.

Let's talk about the new cast.

I personally like to focus on Sun's team, as he had appeared alongside the Beacon students during the drop-off moment in the opening. So does that imply that he applied to Beacon at some point before Volume 2? If that's the case then the possibility is that he didn't leave his team at all, he just got them during Volume 2. This kinda fits his Sun Wukong motif, as most adapted media of Journey to the West often starts out with Wukong alone, before introducing the monk.

Next up is Velvet's Team. Beret has the most awesome handbag ever. I was right into thinking she's gonna be one of my favorite characters (appearance-wise) in Volume 2. Blades is the 2nd character with dark skin, right after Emerald and appears to be using a bladed version of Yang's gauntlets mixed with Ren's guns. There's Velvet in her combat attire. Khaki looks asian-ish. Maybe from the same place as Ren? Something worth noticing is that none of them are faunus besides Velvet. So... how they treat Velvet remains to be seen.

And finally, Penny and her faction. Despite how it looks like, it does no confirm she's a robot yet. Potentially, she's the daughter of an arms manufacturer and just happens to be armed with state-of-the-art weaponry... that comes out of a mini backpack on her back.

Or she's a cyborg. Either way goes.

Those two guys on the right seems important. >_>

And that's mostly it. I won't really talk about Emerald or Mercury as everyone's speculation about them sounded better.
