Just watched the episode and... wow.

First of all, it was a very deliberate choice to animate that spear going out of Weiss' side and not her chest or somewhere that would've made it more obvious that she's dead. If it was an Illusion then Emerald could've easily just made Weiss disintegrate. And if she was truly dead they wouldn't have ended the episode like that. Pyrrha's death was like halfway through the episode.

So I think Weiss will be okay... At least for now.

Other thoughts:

- Didn't know Leo was a faunus... Oh. Someone in this thread did say something about the only school ran by faunus being destroyed and It's a very good point, not a good look for the white fang. Maybe Leo was hiding his identity like Blake and Ilia used to, even to other faunus?

- I always thought Miles was the best voice actor in the show, but he really did his thing in this one. I felt awful for Jaune, he's gone through so much.

- I didn't like how the action was interrupted so often, but it's cool to see the fights from the intro finally happenning. I guess we really are in the final stretch.

- I'm worried for everyone at this point, I'm almost entirely sure Leo will die but now I fear for JPR, Qrow and even Raven. I think at least ONE important character that we've known for a long time will be dead by the end of this volume.

Easily best episode so far imho.
