For those who might not get the joke, the title I chose for this is a mix between two different anime "flash back" episodes. One from Neon Genesis Evangelion (The Birth of NERV) and one from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (The Dwarf in the Flask). Just wanted to make it clear.

I was actually kinda disappointed by the episode. The things said here were what was said in the preview. They showed us how they jumbed Amber, they showed us how Cinder is involved and what she's doing, but they never tell us why, Why is she doing this? Why does she want to be powerful in what was an age of peace. Madame Web from Spiderman (1970 or 80 I believe) said "It's not the 'how' you must master, it's the 'why'."

I do like the revelation of Mercury's legs (and how much fun he has with his "injury"), and this was a good fight, but it is a bit of a let down. I personally don't see how they can fit in more emotional depth for Jaune and Pyrrha (with the Maiden descision/transformation), Ruby and Yang (with Ruby having to see her beloved sister hauled away, for something everyone saw her do, which caused a Grimm attack), and even Blake encountering Adam again. Where will this play out?
