1. Character development and backstories being explained through one episode like how Salem's past was in Vol. 6. While it was interesting to see Salem's motivation for a new world, the entire story was built in one episode. I would prefer if we are going to be illuminated on certain backstories (hopefully Team STRQ's, Cinder's and even Neo's past,) I would like it to be through small reveals like many anime and stories have done in order to build up development and more information about a character. I would not  want to have an entire episode dedicated to the past of one character. Present the info in a subtle way that slowly builds up.

2. Bumblebee

Honestly, I'm completely meh to this ship. I thought it was cute at first, but then seeing what they did with Adam's character development (or ironically lack thereof) I don't want to see their relationship turn into a romantic one. It seems like Adam's death was just a justification or catalyst for Bumblebee to be canon. I don't really know if it is or not right now. Small note: (i'm still a Sun x Blake shipper). If this will be a ship that will develop, I would like to see hints of their love for each other if it is in fact romantic love. Bumblebee kind of reminds me of Korrasami. It just happened at random where we don't really get a glimpse of their relationship being more than a friendship. They're teammates, but don't really act in a way that would indicate some romantic feelings.

3. Qrow dying

Hopefully, if Miles and Kerry have learned from Adam's horrible execution through all current volumes,  and not kill off a character because youre too lazy to make him act logically or we'll be able to get more of a glimpse of his arc and past through his interactions with team STRQ and the origins of how the Branwen Tribe came to be. Despite my preface, I feel like Qrow is going to die. Maybe not in volume 7 but eventually. We can only wait and see what the writers do with his character now that so much shit has gone down.

4. Ruby being Ruby

I haven't really seen her develop in a major way compared to other characters. Ruby's speeches are beginning to annoy me. She sounds like a robot spitting out cheezy togetherness lines and always knowing exactly what to say. She's becoming very Mary Sueish, and I'm not liking it. I would like to see someone interrupt one of Ruby's speeches and shout, "Shut up, your speeches suck!"
