I’ll just put in my two cents between studying.

Winter- Reasons writing wise have already been explained above. From a logical standpoint, there’s going to be a fight for Atlas, a big one from the looks of the last episode (Still ticked off about a cliffhanger ending on the finale though). Winter is going to be in the thick of it. Whether it’s just general battle or being involved in an assassination attempt, she’s in this Volume’s crosshairs.

Ironwood- For the massive strategic target on his back alone.

The Schnee’s- This may range from ironically satisfying if we talk about Jacques, to not caring about Whitley (Though maybe a full on battle and the loss of his idol can knock some sense into that kid), to feeling pity for Weiss and her mother if Mama Schnee goes down, to definitely pained if it’s Klein (A.k.a. Weiss’ real “father”).

Maria- Despite her apparent Yoda/Kenobi role being expended, I don’t she’ll go that easily. I’m just saying that Miles and Kerry sometimes like to subvert.

Qrow- Yeah, I don’t see that. RT’s message implied as much. If anything, I’ll feel sorry for the new guy who will be scrutinized and compared even though it will be unfair to him. That’s as much as I’ll say, considering the Goliath in the room on that one.

JN(P)R?- No. Basing predictions purely on what happens to their inspirations is reaching. Are their parallels? Yes, such as Pyrrha taking one to the heel, but I don’t remember Achilles getting disintegrated. If anything, that’s closer to what happened to Jeanne D’Arc. And I certainly don’t remember the Cowardly Lion going full Macbeth.

Neo- Miles And Kerry are not going to kill off RWBY’s equivalent of Boba Fett. Unless it was planned the whole time, they’re going to want to profit off her popularity. She’s also the Wild Card in this situation.

Cinder- Boy would I love to see that. As much as seeing her fall in defeat was satisfying, I have no shame in basing my bets on personal feelings. She needs to pay fully.
