Episode 5: Old questions were answered (or disproven), new questions were raised. What kind of new questions did everyone take out of this, and really just what did everyone think? These were some of my reactions:


 * Still no Blake. Disappointment.


 * Lots of things about Pyrrha. Her weapon turning into a shotgun--was not expecting that at all. PyrrhaXJaune seems to be running all systems nominal (at least from her perspective), and I have a feeling her nailing Jaune to the wall (or a tree) with her spear is going to turn into a running gag.


 * Weiss: Damn, girl. You done got in over your head now. I wasn't surprised at all she ended up with Ruby. But I am surprised at how quickly Weiss missed her when she ran off.


 * Ren=badass. Enough said.


 * The Crow that Ruby hit: another Monty (in his wisdom) reference?


 * So Yang can fly...


 * Ok, so it turns out there were actual Grim monsters in the forest. This changes some things, both about the nature of the initiation, and the Grim themselves.


 * And for perhaps the third week in a row, poor Jaune...


 * This ep felt shorter than the others. Perhaps it's because of the ending. It's only Friday, and I'm already gritting my teeth...

❝1. Welcome back, if you left!

2.Yep, that's what I just said. It could've just been me, but Blake was not...spectacular as the others in her trailer. And she's been mostly a no show in the episodes so far. I mean I want to like her, especially since she had that moment with Ruby that first night. I want to see more of Blake, I want to know if she's really a fauna or part fauna like the speculators suggest, but dammit they need to pull her out!

3. I think so too about the spear. Maybe she'll be catching Jaune everytime he falls. But I think Pyrrah may like Jaune, and not the other way around. Jaune is awkward, so I suspect he likes every girl he comes in contact with and since Ruby was the first to talk to him with being weirded out I'm sure he likes her more, but Pyrrah seems to really really like Jaune. I hope there's a X between their name xD

4. I'm not sure if she missed her so much as wondering if she was kidnapped. I can tell that Weiss was very impressed at Ruby's speed and even more when she did her disappearing at. But Weiss is in a freaky forest and the only person she was with suddenly vanishes and seconds later monsters come out of the woodwork.

5. Ren=badass? *nods* Seems legit.

6. Possibly. I don't know much about Monty's work (I'm a new fan) but I've seen a few crows and apparently it's his thing.

7.I don't think she can fly, its more she's propelling herself with her gauntlets. And everytime it seemed she was going to low, she used them again. But I must say, it was the best. And I especially loved the landing ("Nailed it.")

8. Or it could just be like the Chunin exams on Naruto, where they had to do the second round to become chunin. The second stage was the forest of death (wait, could Monty have possibly been inspired by Naruto??? Fangirl goes GAGA!) which contained dangerous monsters and poisons and they had to pick up two scrolls, heaven and earth, and return to base. Wait! He possibly COULD have been inspired by Naruto! But in any case, it could be that monsters can be created by visual simulation? Dunno, just a thought.

9. Yes...poor poor Jaune...but at least he was saved by a cute girl...who wants to be on HIS team. (I'm still think that Pyrrha has the hots for him. Weiss told Jaune that Pyrrha was like the "IT" girl, which means if anyone's team leader it should be her, but SHE wants to join HIS team. Aw, they're so cute already)

10. It did, but I'm not sure why...probably because of the whole suspense thing. But I cannot wait til Thursday. I predict that before Weiss makes a move, Ruby will be out striking things down where they stand just like with the Beowolves! And Weiss will be REALLY impressed. I also predict that if that does happen, Weiss will be more inclined to be around Ruby without her gross face on. And perhaps later will ask Ruby if she feels anything for those she has slain. Remember when Weiss defeated the armor she appeared be having pyrrihic victory moment, but Ruby seems to just handle monsters without a second thought...I wonder...❞
