HOLY SHITE THAT EPISODE

So the Battle of Beacon, hm. I sincerely hope Ozpin isn't dead. We've been waiting three volumes to finally see him in action and those ten seconds at the beginning of the episode is not enough.

The Arkos ship has broken records: fastest ship to come and go. I've been waiting for that kiss since Jaune and Pyrrha met but it was very bittersweet. Jaune seemed pretty torn up. Pyrrha, I'm sorry, but in her final minutes all I could do was think 'Idiot, idiot, idiot.' I guess we don't know for sure if she's dead or not, I'm willing to hope so but she disappeared and floated away all gold-dust like so I'm not too sure. Her fight against Cinder was great, she did have the upperhand for like, a milisecond.

Ruby.... Silver eyes... She could very well be the Winter maiden. Let's remember that Ruby probably doesn't think much of the Four Maidens story so telling her that silver-eyed people would become powerful warriors is probably a tad more believable (and sane-sounding) than outright saying "Your mom, Summer, was a magical winter sorceress with infinte power and when she died she passed that power down to you." Plus we all saw the beginning of Ruby's power burst, the white light came from her eyes. And speaking of oddly coloured eyes, what does that mean for Raven and Qrow's red eyes? What does it mean for Yang's purple ones?

TAIYANG YAY! I was so happy to finally see him, I'm hoping we see more of him next volume. Yang has lost all motivation, she's probably pulling a Korra and is going to spend half of the next season depressed and struggling to deal with losing an arm (but a prosthetic arm would look so bad ass on her and if aura can be channeled into a robot then why not into a robotic arm?) Anyway, I'm definitely looking forward to her next season.

Weiss and Blake. With the team split up, I'm really concerned. Weiss just looks sad on the plane and I can't really say anything about that. I just hope they all meet up again in the next volume and come back stronger than ever. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and all that crap. Blake running off has me screaming. I get that she ran, probably out of guilt and it's her thing, she admitted to that in Volume 2 (or was it 1?) But with RWBY split, I'm just hoping they can all meet up again.

Now Salem, or that weird woman at the end, who the fuck is she? Her eyes are very similiar to Cinder's and speaking of Cinder, is she frozen or dead or...???

So Jaune seems okay, probably more determined than ever to kill Cinder. I'm hoping its him to deliver the final blow (if there is one). All those Jaune and Ruby ships... I just can't see that happening. And now Jaune, Ruby, Nora and Ren are off to Haven with Qrow following them. Oh yeah, Qrow turns into a CROW. Holy shite, does this mean that Raven can turn into a RAVEN?

I can't wait for the next volume, so many unanswered questions and plotlines.
