User blog:Zathronas/Analysis by an author: Volume 2 episode 1

Hello and welcome to author analysis.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have liftoff!

Volume 2 has officially debuted an hour and a half ago and I've seen the episode 7 times now. It's safe to say I'm ready for the analysis. Let me tell you first how I will proceed with episode reviews. I will not explain every scenes, you can see it yourself Here. Instead, I will focus on parts that have analysis value. Sometimes it will be the whole episode, others not so much. So let's plunge into volume 2 episode 1: Best day ever.

We start with two characters we've only seen up until now, Mercury and Emerald. They seem pretty confident of their abilities, we'll have to see if it's justified. By visiting a former white fang member, We can safely assume they start a plot that will bring a confrontation between RWBY and Cinder's team when they eventually go after Blake. We also have a crucial moment here: the first murder of the series. This is something that give credibility to the two kids, They're dangerous and this tells us we should not take them lightly.

The conversation between Sun and Neptune, anybody else caught the little tidbit about Scarlet? Could it be a member of Sun's team?

Next, the food fight scene. First, we see Blake pining for Adam. Can't read what her little notebook said but we see pictures of the white fang logo, Adam and a rose. What can we gleam for this fight? How about finally having a measuring stick between RWBY and JNPR. Boy! Is Ruby and Pyrrha badasses or what? We also see them at their best when they find a food item that resembles their weapon, very informative. Also, I don't know why but after the food fight, I REALLY would go for a Dr.Piper.

Now we get Cinder and friends. Seems phase 1 is complete, and phase 2 is about to begin. If phase 1 is Acquiring a big warehouse full of dust. I'm gonna guess phase 2 will have something to do with the use of it. Finally, Torchwick seems to be afraid of Cinder, we will need a justification of that fear at some point. She needs to do something bad, really bad to shore up her cred. Simply managing to escape from Glynda won't cut it.

That's it for this week analysis, see you next week.
