This was very possibly the best episode to date.

Torchwick continues to be awesome. Hook built into the cane handle was unexpected. Weapons seem to be rather more than meets the eye, like Neo's swordstick.

It seems the White Fang literally stole the train. Unless it's a different one? Certainly looks like a Schnee train.

The first Paladin takedown was poor, and broke my SOD.

Flaming bat as Oobleck's weapon? I can dig it.

Neo is stylish as fuck.

Chainsword? Really?

Apparently Dust can be used in conjuction with Semblance readily, making Cinder's creation of weapons rather more plausible. Weiss has been working on Aura shields, I see.

Why didn't Roman have his Aura up? Surely he should defend against being slugged in the head?

And I believe we have just seen Yang's mother. Looks like she's a Faunus, with a bird motif, suggesting that Qrow is her brother, contrary to my theory. And she seems as if she's White Fang. Also portals; makes it easy for her to disappear.

So a small part of Vale is being overrun by Grimm. Hopefully, that section can be quarantined off. That's how I would design the defense. But of course, across town, business can continue as normal, since it is so far away.
