Eh. Velvet from the start was a trash character. The only reason she existed was so 14 year olds would feel bad for her when Cardin does his thing, so they would hate Cardin and feel bad for Faunus.

But, when it comes to faunus discrimination, they don't need Velvet, just a faunus. They could've used Sun; have him getting some terrible treatment in a restaurant, though he just deals with it without a care. Or they could've used Neon; if we trust the manga, she doesn't even bother hiding it and is outright proud to show off she's a faunus.

I do admit that we could've been given some foreshadowing for what her weapon was. It wouldn't make it any less lazy or trash, but at least one doesn't feel so disapointed. We could've also been shown a scene of Blake and her actually....speaking. Because in Vol.1 Blake gave no fucks about her, so to suddenly care about her in Vol.2.....it's too jarring.

As for the "wield GS and CM together" idea, part of me thinks it's silly, since GS is 2 swords. Sure, it might look cool to wield 3 swords at once, but this isn't One Piece.

On the other hand it would've been a lot cooler. Whether alternating between them or using them at once, it would make her feel more like Bartz in Dissidia Final Fantasy, copy-pasting his allies's attacks but using them to make original combos different from all of them.

Better than just lazily recycling the animations of 1 at a time.
