Their character design also seemed more throughout than the other non-filler teams... I kind of wonder if they will become recurrent this volume. They are the opposite of what Weiss was hoping to be coming from Atlas (and she is a native from there) and Flynt's interactions with Weiss might be able to give us some insight into the SDC business and dynamics.

Ciel turned out to be nice, and I'm happy with that. I was kind of afraid Penny would have gotten a non-friendly companion assigned. She seems to be the strict but nice type. (Her gag with the clock kind of reminded me of when I arrange to go out with my friends and I'm the only one who is in time.)

About Pyrrha being the guardian, funny how I only now noticed that the line from "When it Falls" that says "when you fail to save them" plays over the image of JNPR. Might have been foreshadowing all along.

I have this wild theory that if the guardian isn't finally Ruby, it's going to be Blake... Or perhaps it will turn out the guardian isn't supposed to be one person, but several working together, in the spirit of a team that's supposed to be such an important part of hunters training.

I'm sure FNKI will return. Especially since the opening suggests escalated conflict. I'm sure the academy teams will all band together for it.

I'm glad Ciel seems to be a friend who's just time oriented as opposed to another guard.

It could be, but I'm still calling a Red Herring. The idea of failure for Pyrrha can easily just be losing. A multi-tournament winning celebrity losing to ,likely, no name Mercury can easily lead her to have issues with failure.

I like your theory. I think the guardian will be one person, but I agree that the idea of a guardian being a lone hero is wrong, but rather the guardian is a source of inspiration and support for her team and those around her.
