I don't think the crow part is foreshadowing, it's just a little humor thrown in there. However if you look closely, the crow has the same model as the flying grim thing in the extended intro, the only difference is that its mask is blacked out. So THAT could be foreshadowing. As for Pyrrha's weapon, I think the explosion sound we heard as she threw it was the sound of it firing to give it aditional penetrating power, like the recoil of Cresent Rose.
