1) I don't remember any side doors....but I do remember the stairs, located right in front of the main entrance where RNJRWYOQ entered. I guided myself from that.

2) Then she better have given him some damn perfectly good reasons for trying to destroy the world/civilization because Ozpin "killed" his sister. Because otherwise, it's completely stupid.

3) The flashes supposedly mean their Aura was taken down and thus they can be injured/kill now. And at the very least it is consistent in that regard; Qrow was cut, Ghira was stabbed, Weiss lost a liver, all after the flash, and showing visible injury.

Then there's the cases where it's not consistent, or just plain weird. Like Ruby's Aura flashing like 5 times whenever Tyrian hit her, and in this episode Oscar getting uppercuted into the wall many meters away and not suffering much, despite his Aura having been taken down by Leo in the last episode.

.....Then there's Vernal and Sienna who go off and die without even a flash. And that's where it causes real confusion. Either the writers don't follow their own rules, or the characters are idiots.

4) More fighting is good....if the fights are good. So far, the only truly good ones, counting the Shorts, are Yang vs Ursa, Sun vs Ilia, and Ozpin vs Hazel. Oscar vs Leo looked good, but let's be honest, it's not much of a real fight.

5) Cinder's arm was covered by the dress. But Cinder's glass mask is, well, just a glass mask. I bet she just lost an eye there, not that she has a downright Grimm eye.

6) One thing that was true back in Volume 1 is that even if the fight was stupid, or even if the animation looked bad and the writing was bad, the music pumped you up, got you excited, and amplified the fight's entertainment.

In every single Volume afterwards, this has been the case. Even in Vol.4's Qrow vs Tyrian fight; it was full of stupidity, but it still feels cool thanks to Bad Luck Charm making things more exciting.

....This Volume just goes for serious generic combat music, nothing that excites you. Except in ep2, where they used This Life Is Mine, and it did make the fight more exciting - especially at the end - though the problem there is that it's an old song, from Vol.4. There have been no new songs after the Shorts.

Did Jeff fall sick or something? We're 2 eps away from the end of Vol.5 and no new songs beyond the Shorts. Even in Vol.4 we got a new song by Ep7 out of 12.
