But I can see that you meant the impact on the viewer, I just didn't get that personally because it hinges entirely on the viewer not expecting Raven to be Yang's mother which, to me there was no one else she could have been.

I didn't have the: "OMG she looks like Yang", it was more of a: "Yeah that's about what I expected". Yeah, about half the fandom already knew that the masked woman was Yang's mother. It was pretty obvious.

I was actually disappointed that they chose that for the volume 2 stinger because it's kinda lame to introduce a mysterious masked character and play it off like it's like "Whoa, so mysterious" but then unmask that character the very next episode instead of leaving us to wonder who she was for certain.
