Talk:Volume 5 Blake Character Short/@comment-34633327-20170904181007/@comment-4010415-20170904182713

The lizard guy is actually an associate of Ilia's. Blake's Scroll said "ILIA ASSOCIATES" over the photo of him, so Blake wasn't necessarily hunting down White Fang members to stop them from participating in the Haven attack. She was hunting down people who are working with Ilia.

"Only issue is the fact Ilia's backstory was explored here in a short rather than the series proper. Even though it is on Youtube, there are plenty of viewers that could outright ignore the shorts, and if these events are brought up in the show, it will cause confusion."

^ That's also my problem with it. They went so deep in Ilia's backstory in a mere character short instead of the show proper, and it seems like that should've been saved for Volume 5. There's also the fact that RWBY's Japanese dub premieres in Japan in theaters with them showing just the Volume itself as a movie, discluding any character shorts or WoRs. And there are people who didn't know about the Red, White, Black, and Yellow Trailers and the Volume 4 Character Short.
