This episode was really entertaining and amusing!

Shady Man is stupid. The bandits seemed surprised that Yang's bracelet turns into a shotgun gauntlet. Shady Man was extra surprised that Yang's robot arm has a gun.

Yang's fight was good but, once again, the movements were too slow. That moment where she flipped over Shady Man was awesome, though. Took me a bit, but I realized the tune after Yang wins is Armed and Ready. "I am the golden one, who burns just like the sun. Next time we meet is your disaster. I bring the punishment. Your song will be lament. Revenge, my happy ever after."

Oscar vs Ruby was cute.

So, they do actually have to engage their Aura, which means they have to be ready and aware that they're being attacked, and engaging their Aura becomes easier with practice. So, Sienna could have had her Aura unlocked but just wasn't practiced enough to easily engage it, and she wasn't expecting to be attacked just yet.

Ozpin's Aura color is green. Or Oscar's is. Eh, we'll probably list it in Oscar's infobox.

Thank you for clarification that, yes, Ruby's Semblance is still speed.

Ruby's so sweet, pointing out something that Jaune and Oscar have in common and comforting Jaune about his Semblance.

So, the connection with personality is kind of a thing that people believe in Remnant, but some don't believe it because their Semblance doesn't have a clear connection with their personality.

Ruby's Semblance kicked in during training. Was it in the Yang Character Short?

Nora got struck by lightning one Thursday. Alright then.

I guess Weiss was trying to create herself an escape route in the cage first, then cut the rope.

Really nice to know that Yang was looking for Raven just so she could have her take her to Ruby.

Also, I was right that Yang probably didn't know that Ruby made it to Haven. See, in No Safe Haven, while Ruby is writing her letter, she writes that she hopes Yang and Tai have been getting her letters. However, in Family, when Oobleck asks Tai if he has heard from Ruby, Tai says no. That means that her letters weren't getting to them, so even the one she wrote in No Safe Haven didn't reach Yang. There was no way for Yang to know that Ruby had made it to Haven.

Confirmation that Raven's Semblance is the portals and explanation for how it works. Woot!

I know Spirit suggested that Sacrifice could actually be Raven's song (I haven't read the posts in this thread yet, as I type this), and I think it's entirely possible.

Yang and Weiss' reunion was too funny. "Your mom kidnapped me?!" "You kidnapped her?!!"

Vernal creating a lightning strike, dude. And she's even holding her hand out when it shows Yang and Weiss flinching away from the strike.

Weiss and Yang hugging with the tune for Home playing and them telling each other they missed each other. It made me tear up a little.
