First we have the fight with Cordo, where Ruby once again demonstrates her leadership qualities. Her speech to Cordo, while cliche, was well said and much need. Plus, her jumping into the mech's cannon and disabling it from the inside just as it was going to fire was pretty awesome.

And then we come to the fight we've all been waiting for: Blake and Yang vs Adam where after two volumes, we finally see Yang's hair on fire. While it wasn't the epic beatdown I was hoping for, it still looked badass.

But I wasn't prepared for Adam's death. Specifically the way he died. I knew he was gonna die this volume, but I thought it was going to be a Disney Villain Death where he falls off the cliff like Gaston. I didn't think Blake and Yang had the balls to actually stab the motherfucker. But, either way, that's the end of Adam "Mad Cow" Taurus. He died the way he lived: full of rage and hate.

And then we come to the ending where, to the surprise of absolutely no one, Cordo's stupidity causes a whole mess of Grimm to flock to Argus, including a giant sea monster Grimm, and our heroes have destroyed the only weapon capable of stopping them. Nice job, everyone.

But I have a prediction: Remember that RWBY Chibi skit where Team RWBY is fighting a giant Grimm and Yang tells Ruby to use her Silver Eyes, but Ruby says she can't use them until the season finale? That's what I think's going to happen next episode. Considering she's barely used them, I'm not sure she'll be able to use them until, like, the episode's climax.
