Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-34633327-20180125034140

So, now that Volume 5 is over, its about time to start the speculation thread back up. So, as for what I think is gonna happen:

Plot Wise:

First 2-3 Episodes will be the heroes resting after what happened with Haven while telling Blake, Sun, and possibly Ghira, Kali, and Ilia, what's really been going on. Then they'll head over to Atlas.

1-2 Episodes I could see Raven and Tai getting some focus as Tai questions what she's doing there and Raven starts to vent her insecurites, launching the Raven Redemption Arc.

1-2 Episodes are probably gonna be on the transport to Atlas, either focusing on Character Interaction, Backstory, or fights with Aeriel Grimm like the Lancers if they take an airship, or Aquatic Grimm if they take the boat.

1-2 Episodes will probably have some villain focus and show what Emerald's situation is, the reaction to Cinder being MIA, and deciding their next move.

And for the last portion of the Volume I could see them treking across Solitus before reaching Atlas.

Character wise:

Blake I can see being a little spooked over having seen Salem with no context, and naturally be more jumpy with the mission. Sun will probably go along since he sticks to Blake like Glue, and I could see Ilia join up to be both with Blake and continue her redemption. I don't think Ghira or Kali will go as they implied Ghira is gonna lead the new movement after the WF is taken down, and they'll stay at Haven to take care of any stragglers.

Weiss I can imagine will be a little jumpy over having to go back to Atlas after just leaving, though probably a bit relieved what with her team and friends being with her, and actually having a chance at seeing Winter this time.

Raven is more than likely having gone to Tai in the hopes of deconstructing and reconstructing herself. Judging by his reaction, I could figure Tai will be more tempermental initially, but Tai doesn't seem like the kind of guy to stay mad for too long imo. He'll probably engage in the "Forgiven But Not Forgotten" Trope. And no, I don't think Tai and Raven are getting back together, but could go back to being just teammates, Amicable Exes style. If Raven does redeem herself, I could see her using a Portal to send herself and Tai to where Yang is and join the main group, though that would be more towards the end of the volume, if not next volume.

Emerald, assuming she's conscious, will be unstable, and probably ask Salem to train her so she can get revenge on the heroes, Namely Yang as she believes Yang killed Cinder (If only because Yang came out when no one else did). Mercury I can see going two ways. One, he stays with the bad guys and tries to help Emerald Out (He showed concern for her during her breakdown, so I can see a bit of Vitriolic Best Buds between the two), or Two, he realizes how fucked up this stuff is and tries to run off.

Any other predictions anyone wanna add?
