I wonder if Yang is going to rely on one Ember Celica on her left arm and her robot arm in her right. Also, why didn't RNJR bring bikes to make the journey across Mistral much faster?

Also want to see what she looks like in Einlee's outfit next week.

My opinion on Jacques and Whitley is that they may be jerks, but they do have points, compared to the big-hearted moron Ironwood. Also, it's Hilarious in Hindsight how his recent policy resembles our very own controversial one over the past few days ... that's all I will tell about the subject. I hope to see the two of them play off as convincing antagonists in the future.

I'm a bit confused as to how Ilia's scroll was retrieved... at first, the fight made it seem like she had Sun's Scroll which bonked her on the head. And now it seems that she was checking her Scroll mid-battle, which makes even less sense. It seems like she is dumber than I thought - damning Adam's plans just by losing her Scroll.

Speaking of Adam, I'm surprised that he thinks that the White Fang isn't going hard enough under Khan's leadership. I was led to believe that the entire WF had started to believe in Adam's standard of hostility in the first three volumes.

And I am interested in how the Nuckleavee plays out. This beast looks to be a serious mid-boss, and dare I say it, the one Grimm that might make me interested in seeing the Grimm portrayed seriously again.

Overall, there hasn't really been much going on in the Volume. The fundamental goals have been stated, but the plot hasn't really moved by inches. The Nuckleavee is the closest thing to a intermediate boss in the entire volume, and the arc itself (not counting Tyrian). The fights felt like they relied on flash steps, gimmicks, people standing around for long periods of time for no reason and DBZ-style finishing moves compared to earlier volumes ... it's not the lack of Monty and Shane, it's the lack of understanding of what fight moves, camera placements, and pacing made the earlier fights so entertaining. Only Tyrian vs. Qrow and the Sparring match between Tai and Yang are the sole exceptions. Also, in this episode alone, I noticed how choppy Weiss and Klein's movements are - they feel too clunky and rigid, as if they were sped up.
