This was an amazing episode. It was also the most visually stunning episode since V5 ep 4.

1) Dust Hazel was GREAT.

2) Ozpin vs Hazel was GREAT.  As Someone would put it, "It was flashy."

3) Qrow vs Lionheart was shorter but also great.

4) Ruby saying "I'm angry." was GREAT. Is Ruby an actual character now? Definitely.

5) The Tree of Knowledge was AMAZINGLY beautiful.

6) I suspected that Vernal might not be the Spring maiden but I wasn't sure until this episode. How did I know?

6.1) Raven sent Vernal to spy on Cinder, Watts, Em, and Merc. People were lambasting Raven for that decision because Vernal was a maiden but I took note.

6.2) Raven put her helmet on for no reason when Vernal used her powers.

7) Is Vernal dead? I hope so. Somebody should die after such epic fights. Also, based on Raven's reaction to Vernal's "death", Vernal was definitely Raven's portal connection back to the bandit camp.

8) Qrow's Aura is broken. Does he die? Well his primary purpose is to spew exposition and to be cool so he is expendable. I like Qrow but we could do with 1 less character.

9) The only qualms I have is that Juane's semblence should have been reflection and Weiss should have survived that hit without any semblence bullshit.  Also a lot of people were standing around for a long time but at least we didn't see it.

I love this episode so much I will see it twice. The only way you didn't like this episode is if you actually care anymore about Juane's semblence.

It does make me think though. Why was Tyrian interested in Juane? Surely a healing semblence is no big deal. Is Tyrian's semblence seeing the future? That would help for a tracker like Tyrian because they can intercept their targets. Idk. I still think we don't have the full story on Juane's Deus Ex Machinas.
