honestly, I would have preferred it to be a double edge sword of sorts, maybe make it so you have to focus your aura to your eyes, so while you are granted this wonderous weapon, it leaves the rest of your body unprotected, making it harder to use as it makes it easier for you to die. instead we'll probably just get "don't spam it or you'll get real tired" or something like that Yeah, but RWBY actually counts as a Shonen, it’s structure & everything, so they can’t have a power that physically hurts the Main Character without a solution to avoid the injuries & still use the power, so yeah...

Also I think this Episode was great, we finally get everyone’s reactions to the Oz’s full backstory, Jaune really shone in that department, Oscar freakin ran & honestly, I was hoping for something like that, cause since their stuck in Argus now, it gives M&K their chance to focus on Oscar’s character development, cause let’s be honest, we have no idea how everything that has happened to him since Volume 4, all we’ve really gotten was him complaining about everything Ozpin’s done, also since Hazel & others knows where Oz is now, Oscar can’t go home cause that would put his Aunt in danger!

Oscar essentially has had his entire life ruined! With the only place he can go is back with our heroes, I don’t think he’s run away from the main group, I think he just needs time to himself for a bit, he’s honestly still extremely close to breaking down at this point & I’m not saying Oscar’s breakdown in Volume 5, I mean even worse than that, cause he must feel so alone right now, everybody either: hates him, sees him as Ozpin’s newest reincarnation or pity’s him...

That’s no friendship! And honestly, he needs a friend at this point... it doesn’t have to be Ruby, it just has to be someone
