2) Twice this episode Ozpin took over Oscar without asking. I am losing sympathy for Ozpin every episode. Oscar is fading fast.

3) Ruby said "Finally!" when she knocked out Oscar. This implies that she had never knocked him out before. But we also learn that Oscar hadn't been using his aura the whole time. So Ruby is so bad at CQC up until now that she couldn't even beat someone who wasnt using aura? Wow.

4) Juane's semblence is basically gauranteed this volume w/ all the foreshadowing.

5) So Raven trusted Ozpin once and was screwed over. I can see now why Spring Maiden stays with Raven. They both feel they have been burned.

6) And that is Raven's semblence. So what does that say about her personality? Any clue? I have no idea. It also means that Raven must have someone she has bonded with at the camp. Otherwise, where did she go after she finished talking with Qrow? After she saved Yang?

7) I am really happy that Yang is actually looking for Ruby.

9) Watching Weiss melt like a snowflake in that last scene was beautiful. Remember when she was all cold shoulder and up-tight? 2. Actually, Ozpin did ask the first time:

Ozpin : ( mentally ) Mind if I give it a shot?

3. She didn't really say "Finally!", though. She said "Yes! I did it!" But yeah, she is really bad at CQC. Remember when she punched a White Fang mook in the gut instead of aiming for his diaphragm, back in Volume 2?

4. Definitely, and I can't wait to see it!

5. Indeed. Raven might even care about keeping the Spring Maiden away from Ozpin's group. Spring isn't just an asset to her - she's a person who Raven wants to protect from Ozpin.

6. Well, Ren did say that some people don't see any connection between their personality and Semblance.

7. Same!

9. It's so sweet. Weiss has come so far, and she has definitely had character development!

2. On a side note, we don't even know if Raven has only been to Yang the one time. Being bonded to her means Raven can show up when Yang is asleep,

3. There may also be an ability for her to see what is happening with them, which would explain how she knew Yang needed her help. 1. It really seemed that way to me too. She was telling Yang not to get wrapped up in the stuff Ozpin is dealing with, saying that Ozpin isn't who Yang thinks he is, and she suggested that maybe Yang is already where she belongs (in the bandit camp).

2. There was a raven outside Yang's window during Salem's narration in End of the Beginning, after all.

It had dark red eyes like Raven, whereas we've seen that Qrow's crow has light red eyes like Qrow. I believe that the black bird that has dark red eyes is associated with Raven or is Raven herself, rather than having an association with Qrow.

We first saw it in It's Brawl in the Family, overlooking the courtyard as Qrow began talking to Winter. Then, we saw it outside Yang's window in End of the Beginning. Then, we saw it in a tree near Qrow in Family, before it flew off toward Higanbana. Then, in A Much Needed Talk, it landed in a nearby tree when Ruby asked if there's anything else Qrow wants to tell them. Qrow stared at it, then looked away and said "Not tonight."

3. Indeed. It's hard to imagine how she ended up popping into the train to save Yang if she didn't have some way to know what was going on. Qrow has some way of gathering info, so Raven probably does too.
