1. it seems Ilia is at the very least a Bisexaul,

2. While Weiss may be biased, this may confirm something some of us thought for a while, Jacques only married into the Schnee's for the name, Weiss wasn't assuming when she yelled at him, and he really is a major fucking asshole! 1. Well, we haven't seen or heard of her being attracted to males yet, so she could also be lesbian.

2. While Weiss has bias, that doesn't change the fact that Jacques outright admitted to it on her 10th birthday. Bias doesn't change fact, only how one views a fact.

1. Thank God something is happening.

2. Yuma: I'm BATMAN (Technically a Dragon Faunus, going by the Episode 5 RWBY Rewind, but whatever). 1. I know, right? I've enjoyed the past few episodes, and even I started off this episode with "Something better actually happen."

2. No members of CRWBY made any confirmation about him being a dragon Faunus. The only mention of dragon Faunus in RWBY Rewind was from commenters and Yssa and Chad who are watching the show just like us, with absolutely no knowledge of literally any behind the scenes stuff on the show. If they assume Yuma is a dragon Faunus, it's a fan assumption. They don't actually know what he is, and their word carries no more weight than any fan's word.

So, basically, I'm going to continue viewing him as a bat Faunus unless someone from CRWBY with actual weight to their word says he's a dragon.

A bit dissapointed that the crew still refuses to show us any blood. I think it is to keep the age rating in certain level, but they could have at least place a hole or two at the area the guards get hit. I really don't get it because they showed a lot of blood on Adam's sword when he stabbed Sienna, and they even brought attention to it with showing him wipe the blade clean. But now, all of a sudden, unnamed guards don't bleed??

Damn, this episode! I was hoping to cut back to Raven's camp, but Blake's storyline finally having some action is fine too!

So many reveals this episode, my God!! It's awesome!

So, we start off with RWY, and Weiss remembers that Ruby prefers "blasphemous" amounts of sugar and cream. Lol. That got a laugh out of me. "Nice Weiss strikes again!" "I will pour this coffee on you, and it will burn."

I really loved the talk between Weiss and Yang. Yang felt so alone, with Summer gone on missions and Tai away at Signal a lot and Ruby being too young to have conversations with. And Weiss... Path to Isolation starts playing while she talks, dude. We got confirmation that her father only married her mother for the family name and confirmation that her mother is an alcoholic. But damn, that reveal that he finally admitted it on Weiss' 10th birthday... That's depressing. And she said that's when Jacques finally "snapped", right? Snapped??

I like Weiss' explanation for why Blake ran off. Blake was trying to protect them from her past, and when she finally let those walls down and let them in, her past came rushing back and caused one of her friends to lose an arm. Makes sense to me.

I've gotta say, my favorite Team RWBY member has shifted from Blake, to Yang, to Weiss. I'm loving Weiss this volume. She's so cute and sweet, and she has come so far!

And yaaas, Weiss said Team RWBY is more of her family than her brother and father!!

So, Blake's story... When Ilia left the note, I was kinda hoping that she was backing down, but nope. So many things with this scene, holy SHIT!


 * Poor Blake was so hopeful that Ilia was leaving the White Fang and would go to her, oh my God.
 * Confirmation that Ilia does have romantic feelings for Blake! There's seriously no denying it. She said Blake fell for Adam (Alright, so there was a relationship there), she wished that Blake would look at her the way she looked at Adam (Blatant statement that she wished Blake loved her that way), and her scales turned pink like a blush.
 * Blake had Sun follow her for backup! Blake really has learned not to go off to do things alone! I was actually starting to worry the story was going the route of Blake eventually meeting up with RWY because she got shipped to Mistral while either one or both of her parents either dies or barely survives.

Also, Trifa, the spider girl, is cute. :3

At the Belladonna home...

Kinda disappointed that Blake's profile pic on Kali's phone is just a headshot of Blake's Volume 4 art. Like, really? Just use a screenshot of the Blake model doing a cute smile or something.

Kali using a gun! "Get out of my house!!" You tell 'em, mom!!

And confirmation that Ghira's Faunus trait is claws!! Claws!!! Like Tukson! Not paws, not fur, claws!! This is why we kept removing "cat paws" from his entry on the Faunus page!! There was no certainty whether those were boots or actual paws, and now we know they're just boots. Honestly, I was actually starting to wonder if they were paws, but I still didn't want it on the page just in case.

And the Albains' weapons... Some kind of... I dunno, but they use Dust. Fennec uses fire Dust (the glowing swirl was red). Corsac's blade had a white swirl, so I guess wind?

Also, daaamn, Ghira ripping his shirt off, ready to kick some ass! I knew he was combat ready!!
