User blog:Zathronas/Analysis by an author: Volume 2 episode 2

Hello and welcome to another instalment of author's analysis.

Well, the new episode is out and we are starting to get a bit of focus on the story. Let's see what we can find out of episode 2 of volume 2: Welcome to Beacon.

We start the episode with what seems like a reunion between Ozpin, Glynda and General James Ironwood. It seems travel has become dangerous between kingdoms and we get another reference to Qrow. What does Qrow knows that we don't? Whatever it is, It's big enough to shake an army general.

Anyone wants to play a kids card game? This card game is interesting because they play each a kingdom but uses Grimms as army pieces. Notice the pieces on the board, one of the kingdoms used pieces That suspiciously looked like the giant armor in the white trailer. Anyone else think X-ray Jay sounds like a lame comic? (or an x-rated one.)  Now we can guess which kingdom is which by each ones placement. Weiss used Vacuo and was facing the northern kingdom (Green on the board). Blake was Vale or the middle kingdom(Teal). Ruby seems to be Mystral (Orange on the board). And finally, Yang is Atlas. (Yellow on the board,)

The little conversation between Ozpin and Blake resolves one debate in the forums. Ozpin knew she was a Faunus. But what is she hiding? Is it only the fact that Ozpin suspect she was a former member of the White Fang or is there something more?

Annnd we get the reason for the title of this episode. Cinder is still a student? Now that's interesting and it put a whole different spin on her team. We now have a true, honest to god, rival team for both RWBY and JNPR. Nice!

That's it for this episode! stay tuned for a second column from yours truly in a couple of days where I will speculate on where I think we are going with volume 2. This will become a second weekly post called Speculation by an Author. (I know, not very original but it is consistent!)

See ya out there!
