If that was accidental confirmation, then whoops.

Also, if it is accidental confirmation, I have a feeling that RNJRWBY will end up visiting Kuchinashi, and in that same episode, Yang's love for Blake will be confirmed to the audience in some way. This is going along the pattern we saw in Volume 4, in which the towns that RNJR visited had the Japanese names for flowers, and in the same episode in which they set foot in that town, something happened that had some relation to that flower's Japanese flower language meaning.


 * Shion - Remembrance. The episode is even titled Remembrance, and that episode ends with Jaune training to a video that Pyrrha recorded for him (which I headcanon that she had made for the break between school years so he could train at home).


 * Higanbana - Abandonment. Raven, who abandoned Yang, made an appearance in this episode, in Higanbana itself, no less. The higanbana/red spider lily flower actually even has connections with death in Japanese culture, and Raven leads a tribe of bandits who go around killing people.


 * Oniyuri - Wealth. The village of Oniyuri was being built by rich people, and in the episode where RNJR first enters Oniyuri, we also see Weiss at the Schnee charity ball where she is surrounded by snobby rich people.


 * Kuroyuri - Love/Curse. In the episode in which Jaune and Ruby first enter Kuroyuri, we finally see how Ren and Nora met, and at the end of that episode, Ren and Nora hold hands. You could say that the Nuckelavee had been a curse on that region for over a decade.

So, what is the Japanese flower language for the kuchinashi? Secret love.

Kuchinashi was one of the towns that Qrow specifically mentions in WoR: Mistral, and we saw it labeled on the sign post that RNJR found, but we have yet to visit it.
