- Mata is really cute, and actually, his name could also be Spanish for "kills".

- The mermaid Faunus are interesting, how do they exist? Is there an underwater civilization? Underwater housing and neighborhoods? Do they ever interact with the earth Faunus?

- Ruby FINALLY got some character development, I also felt my heart sink when she said "combat ready" and her face after that... ugh. I think this scene also lowkey confirmed that Ozpin basically is always listening/watching? There goes Rosegarden for me, at least for now.

- About Yuma... Do we really need MORE villains and side characters on this show?! I kinda like his design tho, I guess, and he already seems pretty dangerous and effective if he killed someone. I fear for Ghira's life now... I don't think they will actually kill Kali, but Ghira probably won't make it to Vol 6. However, I think Yuma will either die at the hands of Adam when he isn't needed anymore or Blake will kill him. I am actually itching to see one of the good guys take down a baddie for once. 1. I agree...Mata is adorable and lovable... a bit of a momma's boy too, it seems. "Mom!" (If Mata dies we riot).

2. I seriously hope they write it off as an actual Fish Faunus, because for fuck's sake mythical beasts don't need to be Faunus. As for underwater civilization, I have my doubts on that, because A) it's an active port where ships come in at some points in time, and B) how much labor would they need to build underwater civilizations only a select few could live in? Hell, I didn't see gills on the mermaid, so she wouldn't be living under there.

3. I felt the same about the Penny reference...I even caught it on my first listen, so that was something out of the ordinary for me. I was like "ooooh shit" at the time when I heard it and realized what it meant when her face fell. As for Ozpin, yeah...I still find Rose Garden impossible while he's around...it just makes things awkward.

4. Congratulations. If anybody is able to see the RWBY Rewind for this week (whether through FIRST or through 3rd party sites), I've heard rumors that Qrow is looking for more. [Though one should know this is they frequent spoilers on the Discord.]
