I, for one, am very excited to see where they go with the whole 'Yang's mom' drama. I've always felt that Yang had a hidden wisdom to her ever since volume 1, and her conversation with Blake pretty much proved it. I wonder if she'll take her own advice, or if she has other plans? It's entirely possible that her only regret about almost getting killed in the forest was that she brought Ruby along; perhaps, now that she's older, she thinks she can handle whatever her journey could throw at her.

It's just awesome in general that Yang got a good amount of spotlight after being sidelined in volume 1. I'd been on the fence about her as a character, but volume 2 made me love her!
