Speaking of overpower, now Emerald can use her semblance without it taking any toll on her? Before, it gave her huge headaches, and she hated using it more than once - now that's gone? Really? Because hallucinations are a huge power, even if she can only affect one at a time. Emerald said that doing it on more than one person causes headaches, not doing it more than once. She's always been able to do multiple hallucinations in a row as long as she only affects one person - look at when we were first introduced to her semblance. She fought against Amber and threw them around all the time to disguise what was actually happening around Amber and to make the fight easier.

She only ever affected one person at a time in this episode - first Ruby while they were fighting, and then Yang while they were keeping her from following VCR. Ruby couldn't see the hallucinations of Raven and Mercury, only that Yang was being beat up by the two of them.
