This episode is one of the best! First of all, we finally got to see Weiss fight a solo fight in the show and it was glorious! She now officially has my favorite fighting style out of team RWBY's members. She lost, sure, but that was because she picked a bad enemy (also, Weiss can take a beating. Even as the supposedly least durable member of team RWBY, she's not the glass cannon that people would expect). The WF Lieutenant was slow, but he's also durable. Weiss would have fared better against Neo, an quick and agile opponent who doesn't look as tough. Yang, being ridiculously slow compared to her comrades, gets smacked around by Neo. She should have fought the WF Lieutenant. Weiss and Yang screwed the pooch on that one. Blake kicked Roman's ass, though. I guess he wasn't expecting the Dust. But, although the way Blake used her Semblance with Dust was ridiculously badass, I'm still miffed that Roman was beat so easily. True, she was blinded by rage when they fought in volume 1, but I still placed him above her level.

Also, I'm less curious about who that ridiculously badass samurai woman was and more curious as to why Yang hates Neo so much. This is more than just being antagonistic towards your enemy; Yang's dislike for her is personal.

And Weiss and Blake have come a long way as friends. Weiss has a cartridge of Dust specifically for Blake's weapon (for some weird reason), and Blake forgoes her revenge on Roman to carry Weiss bridal-style away from the Lieutenant. The Monochrome fan within me is happy!
