Well, I totally hope that the next World of Remnant is about the war. The twist with individuality being at stake is making this quickly become one of my favorite fictional wars. That also fits in with the whole civil rights aspect of the war; the faunus were (and still are) discriminated against because they're different; they're not conforming to humanity by being a different species, so to speak.

And I like how this episode is setting the Grimm up to be a threat again; they've been rather lackluster for a while.
