While I'm expecting RWBY to rejoin as a team, I'm not sure how that will play out in terms of Blake's arc.

Ruby, Weiss, and Yang have all settled back together again as teammates, and Ruby already feels like their teammates more than JNR's teammates in my eyes. But Blake's more distanced from her team because she's the only one who's been doing something almost entirely unrelated to everyone else.

RWY have all been focused on Salem. Blake's been having her own White Fang dilemma (and yeah, Adam works for Salem, but that doesn't really mean anything in this case). She doesn't know about Salem, the Maidens, the Relics, the Branwens - anything (and neither do Sun and Ilia). She's been focusing on her own Faunus Rights issue and it doesn't seem entirely over.

She also has Sun and Ilia, and I'm wondering what would happen to them if Blake rejoined RWY. Would they just join the Huntsman Squad with JNR and Oscar? I can picture Sun staying and reuniting with Neptune, joining the Salem fight, all that - he's not super into the Faunus Rights thing. But Ilia? I don't know, man. Her entire story has been so Faunus-focused that I find it hard to see her fighting for anything else, or really teaming up with anyone else apart from Blake or Sun. I hope she stays with the main cast, though.

All-in-all, I just find it difficult to believe that RWBY could truly reunite as a unified team again. RWY and Blake seem so divided right now.
