2) Eh, I chalked that up to Nora doing what Ren did in Volume 4 and letting her anger cloud her. She seems to still be firing in that shot before Jaune rushes to her, so...

4) ...it would make sense that his Moonslice can't tear through the new material. 1) Except it's not really blurry at all. And it wasn't even spinning, which can be seen perfectly because the scene was in slow-mo. It was static as it vanished from bottom to top.

2) Except Ren's been in worse situations and Nora hasn't gotten angry to the point of being a blind idiot. Why would she get that angry now? Hell, the way she reacted just seems like normal Nora, not berserk Nora.

And she stopped firing shots at Cordovin multiple seconds before she got slapped.

3) You're making assumptions there. Nothing says a non-Boosted slash couldn't cut through the Spider Mech. Adam never even tried. He went straight for the Moonslice and the one who attacked it was Blake.

4) Except it doesn't. Because back in Vol.3 Adam's Moonslice was enough to tear through Yang's remaining Aura and still do enough damage to cut off her arm. Meanwhile, this time:

>It hits her in a lot more places than just the metal arm.

So Yang taking it and yet not even flinching afterwards, with a face of total boredom at that? No, it makes no sense, the attack she received makes the one that chopped off her arm look like a child's.

Not saying it should've killed her, but if at least she looked hurt afterwards it would've made more sense.
