Beacon can literally have half their fighting force sleeping in bed, Ironwood not helping, and White Fang completely unscathed to launch a twin attack alongside the Grimm plus reinforcements attracted by negative emotions, and they still will lose horribly. Because Ozpin is there.

However, what's done is done. The point of Volume 2 - as I've mentioned before - is to drop Beacon or Vale or Ozpin's reputation, and the moment the breach began it was already too late. Cinder has already won this Volume. But there's a small problem with that conclusion: Ozpin will die.

Don't believe me? Fine enough. Just wait until ep12. But what would happen should Ozpin die? He wouldn't be there in that case.
