Something I've been happening to question about Yang is how her semblance works. Most people agree that Yang's semblance is to create fire but think its more she absorbs it to increase her energy. First of all I don't think that having weapons that shoots fire would make much sense if you could do it yourself anyways. What would make sense is absorbing that fire to increase her power even if its for a short time. I you watch the show again you'll notice that everytime she fires up its after shes fired her gauntlets. It might even explain the importance of her hair since it glows when her semblace is active so maybe thats where the extra energy is stored.
