As usual, I'm here so late that there are way too many posts to read through (curse having to work on Saturdays), so I dunno what everyone else has said, buuut let's go.


 * Cinder's using a loophole to kill Ruby, yada yada. Glad to see Neo's still short af.


 * Maria's weapons, yo.

Gravity sickles! I love the way she used them to throw herself, her sickles, and the Nevermore around! Speaking of the Nevermore, it's cool that they showed Maria turning it to stone like how Ruby turned the dragon to stone.


 * Tock has a really interesting design, and if I had to guess, she alludes to the tick tock crocodile from Peter Pan. Y'know, the one that's always after Captain Hook.

It explains her green reptile skin, her clock, and her name. She starts the timer before she starts fighting Maria, and when she finishes fighting, she stops the timer, and her Aura fizzles. Could be compared to how Hook knows he's being pursued when he hears the tick-tock tick-tock of the crocodile.

Also, the way Maria killed Tock was so brutal.


 * Qrow based his weapon on a legend? What a nerd, pfft.

That's kinda cute, though. The gun scythe part of his weapon turned out to be based on Maria's gun sickles because of the legend about her.


 * Ruby literally set Jaune's contact name as Vomit Boy on her Scroll. Nice.


 * Soooo it was snowy because they were in the mountains, not just because they're in northern Anima. I dunno why I was surprised by this. Though, there is snow in Argus, just not as much.


 * OMG, Argus is designed after San Francisco, and it's SO cool!

I dunno why, but it's fantastic seeing a San Francisco based city in Remnant! It's so pretty and cool and fun, I love it! I didn't recognize it at first, just felt it looked familiar. But then it showed the houses, and it clicked.

Also, that theater... uh... One of the movie posters has a silhouette of Beacon Academy, and it says "BEACON" on it. C'mon, guys, it's only been a year... Really?


 * Dust Dust Dust Dust

I think I glimpsed a purple glow underneath the street tram that RNJRWBY gets off of? It appears to be levitating off of the street, so it'd make sense if it's powered by gravity Dust. Can't tell if the cyan rectangle on top at the front of it is Dust or not, though. It's also hard to tell if it's doing the Dust "shimmering" noise because of the jingling.

Also, that cart that the construction workers use is powered by Dust. When one of them drops a brick on it, you hear the Dust "shimmering" noise kind of ring out from it for a moment.


 * Jaune's family!!

The first time we've seen one of Jaune's sisters, and we see an old childhood photo of him and his sisters! Though, no evidence as to whether or not he's from Mistral, as Saffron said she moved there. Jaune and Saffron's interaction was perfect!

Also... Terra Cotta. I'm sorry, but I absolutely love the wordplay there, I love her name, and I can't get over it.

Apparently some people think that Adrian (the baby) is from a previous marriage? My first thought was in-vitro fertilization so that Terra and Saffron could have a child.
