It's your thread to make.

Salient points:

Ruby gets some much-needed characterization. Finally. Thank the gods. Taiyang is apparently not going to appear this volume, given he doesn't actually have a model.

Fight scene. Bit clunky. Expected. Interesting detail about how Dust works. Why didn't the other team use semblances? Odd. Pretty one-sided. Details on rules is nice. RWBY has teamwork. Boring otherwise.

I kinda like the 2D people as background sort of thing. Reminds me of the shadow people, which I kinda liked. Gives a storybook feel.

Hunters apparently eat a hell of a lot. Blake still likes fish. Papa Schnee controls the purse strings, and apparently is quick on the draw to empty her debit card that fast.

Banter. Oh gods, I love banter. Excellent.

The bad guys apparently need to know who's fighting when. Interesting.

Nora and Ren are orphans, apparently. Fascinating. Ren's new voice threw me for a bit of a loop, but I'll get used to it. Methinks Jaune's going to be a liability in that last fight.

Cinder's semblance is heat-related.

Overall, a very good start to the new season, though of course it's mostly setup.
