3) she probably would have cried for other teammates. No evidence she wouldn't. These are the 3 people who no matter what are supposed to have her back.

4) Yang flared up in The Emerald Forest Part 1 over a strand of hair and in Players in Pieces over minor chaos. Unlike in Players and Pieces Blake was already down, injured, and obviously not protected by her Aura for whatever reason. Also Yang was (very arguably) bocked off. Either that or she believed Ruby capable of getting out. A situation unlikely for Blake at the time.(the strength of Nevermore feathers hasnt been displayed)

5) she was scared because Adam outclasses Yang big time, and Blake knows Adam wouldnt hesistate to kill her

6) Yang coddled Weiss over some minor burns, its not surprising that when Blakes former love interest slices off her roommate/teammates/partners/close friends out of spite of Blake, that she will be at her side ignoring most other people. She did it back when she was exhausting herself trying to find and stop the White Fang. She is a hardcore atoner.

8) the only reason Blake not being there is so important is because she chose to leave the team high and dry. Weiss was forced to leave, so there isn't much reason to be mad at her. Again, Yang is also mad at everything. It would be different if she is like "no big deal, I can still use my left :) whats a good school around here? Oh hey, more family time! and we can call Weiss when the network is back up :D I wonder how that thing works, eh. Im stumped XD. O, Blake? F**K THAT STUPID KITTY BIT*H C*UNT! IF I SEE HER AGAIN ILL KILL HER IN THE FACE!!" Im pretty sure Ruby is just as confused and upset about everything as Yang, the difference is Yang has a quicker temper and is now helpless to do anything about it.

P.s. How do I quote without quoting a quote in a quote that I am quoting? Every wiki works a bit differently and I don't pyramid quotes that are like, 50 long. Well, you see, now we really are getting into "I think this way", "I think that way" territory. I was going to respond to individual parts of your argument but realised that most of it could only be met with



or words to that effect. It would be pointless to argue with 2), for example, as I feel that Yang's soothing voice, the way the music plays over the scene, and her wink at the end all play up the impact of the hug and contribute to an overall feeling that the intentions behind the actions are more than just friendly. You disagree, and believe that their relationship is purely platonic. Likewise, 3), as I feel that Yang has grown much closer to Blake than to Weiss and would not cry (or at least would not react so strongly) if Weiss were in that scenario. You object and cite an overall lack of evidence for my viewpoint. There's nothing wrong with the fact that we differ on these issues, but ultimately there will be no end to this argument if all we can do is repeatedly present the same evidence and state how we interpret it differently. However, there are still a couple of issues that I would like to raise with some of your responses.

4) The examples of Yang's anger that you selected were far less extreme than her reaction to Blake's injury in Heroes and Monsters. Like I pointed out, she flew into a massive rage and flung herself towards Adam, screaming at the top of her lungs. We've never seen her, or indeed any character, display such an extreme reaction before to anything on the show. Her cry of "Get away from her" is such an expression of pure, unadulterated rage that it is hard for me to consider her feelings for Blake to be anything short of incredibly passionate.

6) Oh please. Yang only wore a look of concern for a few seconds, then she was back to joking around as usual. The severity of the injury is indisbutable, especially in a world like Remnant where scenarios that would result in dismemberment on Earth could be shrugged off most of the time thanks to Aura. However, the manner in which Blake is solely focused on Yang, even while her other team-mates discuss plans of escape and rescue, goes beyond mere guilt and sorrow IMO. Not even Ruby reacts as strongly as Blake to Yang's injury.

8) I'm afraid I don't really know what you're saying here.

P.S. Just manually delete the parts of the quote that you don't want to use. This goes for quotes within quotes too. Hope I could be of assistance!
