I liked the horror mini arc with the Apathy, so those were pretty good, in my opinion. Maybe it's just because I really enjoyed how much MK have improved on writing for something scary, and the Apathy didn't turn out to be a total flop like the Nuckelavee. But I also enjoyed the characters' behaviors and interactions through that arc and how Ruby getting fed up started in that arc. So between the characters' interactions and relationships, Ruby starting to get fed up with bullshit, and the revelation of Maria having had silver eyes, that arc ties into and helps the rest of the volume's story.

It was an interesting stand-alone mini story, while also being what caused WBY to decide to stick with the war against Salem and also what finally got Ruby into learning about her silver eyes.

I like that.

Just look at Ozpin. Its his voice Oscar's hearing, and has all the same behavior and mannerisms, so its entirely possible we never actually saw the real Ozpin, just Ozma controlling Ozpin. We can't tell though, since every single one of Ozma's hosts was either voiced by Dismuke or Mccormick, so whether its Ozma or Ozpin talking back in V1-V3 is unknown. It's clearly Ozma now, but we don't know if there ever truly was an Ozpin. I think when he gave that speech in Volume 1, where Ruby and Yang were like "huh, he seems kinda off, like he's not really there" was the person who was Ozpin/Ozma's host. Ruby and Yang felt like the man they were familiar with wasn't there because he really wasn't. He had taken a back seat for his host.
