Of course, it all depends on HOW the issue with Salem is resolved. I'm not gonna sit here and expect her to be trumped via raw force a la DBZ (no, Ruby's Magic Ex Machina power will probably do the trick for us). I'm just saying that Salem is so far coming off as the ultimate arc-villain for the whole world of Remnant, and I just have difficulty imagining how any villain that comes after her would come close to the threat she poses. And it DOES need to at least come close, otherwise you get a bland extension to the series that's just boring and unnecessary and that ruins the title's legacy.

Granted, right now it's Ruby and Friends vs Basically-Goddess-of-Grimm and HER Lackies. If another arc follows this, it doesn't have to be against another major superpower. They could change it up with another war of some kind, or do a time skip and have the next generation handle things (although that would mean confirming certain relationships as Canon, and you just know that half the fan base will up and leave the moment RT confirms whether Blake likes Sun or Yang, among other ships).

Or, you know, they could just do what Naruto did and bring in f***ing aliens.
