Back in volume 3, in Beginning of the End, Adam said "It's time I get back to Mistral and--", which left us wondering why he was going to Mistral. In the beginning of volume 4, Salem told Hazel to meet with the White Fang's leader, and we later see Hazel at a train station in the Kingdom of Mistral.

2. I'm uncertain if Yang will still be there or not. It's entirely possible that Yang could stop by the City of Mistral to check on Ruby, find out what all has been going on, and then head out to go find Raven. On the other hand, she may stay with RNJR when she finds out what's going on.

3. Hopefully we'll get to know Sun and his team a little better in volume 5, since it will be taking place where Team SSSN attends school.

4. I mean... volume 3 ended with Yang expressing to Ruby that she would rather just stay home and doesn't care about finding out why Blake left. Blake had gone off on her own, and we all know that, at the time, there was no way that she was going to go to Yang. With Yang deciding to stay home and not caring why Blake left, there was no way that she was going to seek Blake out. The only way they would've ended up meeting up was if Blake had stayed in Vale and Yang had, for some reason, changed her mind about staying home and gone to Vale.

I guess it's not all that surprising that we ended up with Sun following Blake, since he has shown intense interest in her since volume 1, and Yang said "Sun saw her go."

5. YES! UGH! Miles and Kerry need to stop trying to make certain characters be the constant comedy relief because it has such a negative effect on their characterization! It doesn't matter if it's Jaune or Sun - they can't just be a buttmonkey to keep a lighter tone in the show! It would be enough to have joke every once in a while and Sun's awkward behavior in Blake's home. He doesn't have to be reduced to screaming, bumbling fool. He might as well be a literal monkey in that case, bouncing up and down and screeching "REEEE! REEEEE!" while throwing random objects at people. 1. Ah, I forgot about Adam saying that. It's been awhile since I've watched the previous volumes of RWBY. Anima does make more sense when you put it like that. 2. That's true. Though if shit goes down in the city and the WF makes a move similar to what they did in Vale, I'd hope Yang would be around to fight alongside JNPR.

 However, I'm not sure if the WF will as I suspect that since Salem already seems to have an operative fairly high up in the command system of the Kingdom that the Kingdom as a whole may very well remain unscathed. The city might fall at some point next volume, or even the following volume. Right now, I feel that Salem's goal might be to replace Mistral's current leaders, besides Lionheart, with puppets that Salem manipulates into finding the Relic for her; instead of searching the ruins of the city/Kingdom afterwards. After all, Mistral is the largest of the four Kingdoms which means the Relic could be anywhere in Anima. Controlling the people in charge makes it easier for Salem to cast a wider search net.

3. Fingers crossed.

4. This is why I should probably re-watch the previous volumes; there are a lot of holes in my memory of RWBY.

5. Exactly.
