I'm rather disappointed by this volume... not showing fights I can understand, but cutting the fights they had without a thought to the choreography is rather inexcusable when you look at this shows roots...

Then look at Yang's arc, she had this whole speech given by Tai telling her to go around problems and misdirect/ect.... and she did that in one fight against noob bandits... then she goes all bullheaded into the final fights and the most "around" she shows is disarming herself literally... not dodging pretty much at all, just dropping her weapon as though she was being charged with a fetch or time trial quest... which she wasn't. Had she not been lucky enough Cinder and Vernal were down and Raven didn't want to fight she by all rights should have died and failed... I am so dissapointed her combat skill growth wasn't really shown at all... instead just a tad of emotional growth, by contrast it feels like Ilia and Raven had more growth this season... and Ilia barely existed beforehand.

Most of the fights were teases(hell even the fight in Resident Evil 5's beginning was less of a tease than the big fights other than Weiss's early one, and that was run through backwards mostly involving the MC jumping into the water).

Leo's death sounded more merciful than people advertised... as he was grabbed, roped in, stabbed, pleaded for his life, then was stabbed one final time
